She finished the entire Novel by five thirty in the evening and got up to leave. She put the novel back in its place and while she was going out of the library, she saw a flyer containing a vacancy advertisement and read through it. It was a restaurant, they were in need of more crew members and the pay was $27,387 per month and $13 per hour.
She immediately called the restaurant, she was invited to come over the next day.
Mylar got hired and whatever she got at the end of day, she used in taking care of herself and her 'little foodie' as she called her unborn child but still she was getting short on rent money and money for other stuffs as well. After a month of working, her stomach started getting bigger and her appetite increased, her taste in food also became different. Before, she liked eating sandwich, salads and fries but now, she eats chinese noodles, hot dogs, she likes eating fruits even the ones she hated before and even tamarind, that is so sour.
"How are you coping girl?" Vida asked when she came to visit Mylar, she looked at Mylar's face, Mylar looked very tired and dark cycles were around her eyes.
"I guess I am doing great, just chilling." Mylar replied with a false smile.
Vida moved closer to her on the bed, holding Mylar's hands, she apologised to her with tears in her eyes.
"I am so sorry that I couldn't help you in any way. I'm really sorry."
Mylar couldn't hold back her tears anymore, she let it all out flowing down her face. She said to Vida while crying. "My life is so terrible now, I thought I was suffering before but now it's way worse than before."
"Hey, don't say that. I know that everything will be fine soon, just have some faith." Vida said trying to comfort her. Mylar looked at Vida and said to her.
"Off course you can say that when you are still beautiful and you only have your mouth to feed. My biggest problem now is that my stomach is getting bigger and i keep getting tired and mostly sick."
"Do you get nauseous and keep vomiting?" Vida asked and Mylar nodded.
"That means you have HG (hyperemesis gravidarum). Gosh you are so frail." Vida cried out.
"So what do I do about this HG doctor Vida?" Mylar asked her, Vida help feeling sad for her friend, she didn't like the way Mylar looked now.
"You will be needing constant hospital treatment and that means money. Girl, don't you think you should inform Camilo about your pregnancy, I think you need help, you can't do this alone."
Mylar looked away, she didn't think this was a good idea. Camilo isn't a responsible person and she couldn't even think of how he will react to this. She turned back towards Vida after thinking it through and said.
"I don't think he will accept the child."
"Why not give it a try and see, what if he accepts?" Vida ask. Mylar looked at her big tummy and back at Vida.
The next morning, Mylar and Vida went to the subway station and took the train to Carnegie Hill, upper east side Manhattan and to Julian Wylder's Mansion, one of the most beautiful houses in Newyork city. The house was absolutely gorgeous, tall oark trees and other types of trees, trim flower beds, flower stones and other beautiful flowers with different amazing frangrance could be seen everywhere, each house was far from the other and a long desolated clean road lead to the house. The Mansion was designed like an ancient royal palace but looking at it, you would know that it is very expensive, it looked so perfect that it became Mylar's dream house at that very instant.
They went to gold metal automatic sliding gate, it had a phone doorbell intercom system on the wall outside, such advanced technology they've never used before. Then they used the gate call box to call and patiently waited for someone inside to answer them.
Miss Emelda heard the sound and went to check the camera, she saw two young ladies looking into the camera, at first she wanted to ignore them because they didn't look like any of Camilo's friends or Mr Julian's business partners but then she thought to herself that she need to chase them away in case they were beggars here for alms, so that Mr Julian wouldn't meet such people at his door.
She hurriedly went into the compound and opened the gate with the remote control, which only family members had access to.
"Hello ma'am." Mylar and Vida greeted her when they saw her come out. She ignored their greetings and asked bluntly.
"What do you want?"
Mylar noticed a bit of rudeness in the way the woman spoke but ignored it, she wasn't here to fight with a rude lady, so she replied in a friendly way with a smile on her face.
"We are here to see Camilo Wylder, we learnt he lives here."
"Camili doesn't give out money to beggars, so why don't you run along and stop wasting our time."
Mylar and Vida were both left in shock, they look at what they had on, it was indeed simple but it was a decent dress. Mylar went on to speak and also tried to control her anger while talking.
"Excuse me, we ain't beggars. I am just here to tell Camilo something very important, so please just go inside and tell him that Mylar from Gentlemen's club is here."
"I don't care what club or wherever you come from, just go, leave this premises this instant." Miss Emelda said to them and turned to go back inside.
"Hey lady, are you kiddin'? You can't just chase us out of here." Mylar yelled at her unable to control her anger anymore.
"Off course I can do that, I am Camilo's nanny. I am his guardian in this house and my duty is to chase away rags who are trying to be nuisances to him." Mrs Emelda yelled back.
"I'm dead!" Vida said and started laughing hysterically at the Miss Emelda, then she moved closer to the woman, who stared on embarrassed by the way Vida was making fun of her and warned then Vida mocked her.
"You are just a maid, calling yourself nanny ain't gonna change that you are still a goddamn househelp, so don't come here acting all madam of the house with us." She usually changes her way of talking whenever she is upset.
Miss Emelda was angry with how the ladies were mocking her, she went back inside and used the remote control to close back the gate, leaving the girls outside.
"I can't believe her guts, she's unbelievable." Vida yelled angrily after Miss Emelda left. Mylar was lost in her own thoughts, she spoke after a while.
"She is annoying but still she could have helped us to see Camilo because she is his nanny. What do we do now?"
"We come back tomorrow girl." Vida said and wrapped her right hand around Mylar's shoulder with a smile. They walked a little because they didn't have much money on them but it was also part of the things the doctor advised Mylar to do for an easy delivery.
Elio crossed his legs as he sat down in his office, he took off his glasses and place them on the table, then his thoughts went back to some hours ago when he had gone home, his mom had spoken to him like a normal person for forty five minutes. It made him happy but the only thing she was talking about was Camilo getting married and starting up his own family and that really upset him.
"Why didn't she talk about me, don't I also get to fall in love, get married and start up a family of my own. Why does she always think of him, it is his fault that she is not fine anymore. Then why does she love him more than me?" Elio said sadly as drops of tears came rushing down his face.
"It's so unfair, it's really unfair." He kept saying this words as he continues to cry and he didn't even notice someone walking towards him as he laid his head on his table and continued sobbing bitterly.
Elio!!! The person called out, her beautiful feminine voice so calm and lovingly. She was wearing sequin short slitted blue dress and her face was more beautiful with a little makeover. Her long black hair left loosely on her back, Elio raised up his head quickly forgetting to wipe off his tears, he looked terrible. She placed her tender hand on his face and wiped off his tears for him, then she asked him.
"Are you thinking about Camilo again? I told you not to do that anymore right?"
"How can i stop thinking about him, when he messed up mine and my mom's goddamn life." Elio said with all the anger inside of him and tears ran out of his eyes.
"It's wasn't really his fault you know." The lady said trying to calm him down, this made Elio scoffed.
"You too Trina, you are also supporting him, that's what everyone else has been doing." Elio looked at her, his eyes red from crying and his heart was filled with rage.
"If he hadn't left the house that day because of a little thing such as wanting to go to a friend's party, then we would have never thought that he was the one who died in that accident." Elio said and wiped off the tears which were still coming out of his eyes.
"Please stop, Elio stop talking about that incident please." Trina pleaded with him holding his hands. He pulled his hands out of hers and said to her.
"I can't. Mom believed that he didn't die and she went looking for that son of a bitch for three goddamn days and when she did come back home, mom was bleeding. She had been raped by three men just because she was searching for her idiot of a son who was busy enjoying his life for three days in the midst of idiots like him and different girls." Elio continued crying painfully.
"Elio." Trina called sadly, she was also in tears. She knew this story because Elio that was what Elio always talks about. She was his childhood friend as well as highschool sweetheart but they parted ways before the incident happened, Trina's parents had sent her to California where her grandmother lived to go to a different highschool. She back three months ago and now works under one of the biggest firm in Newyork city as one of it most renowned lawyer.
Elio stopped crying after receiving the most comforting hug from Trina and said to her.
"When I went home today, mom spoke to me with so much love, it's been a long time and I really miss that but all the while we were talking, what mom could talk about was Camilo, she wants him to get married and give her a grandchild, a very cute one like Camilo."
"Were you hurt by that?" Trina asked.
"Yes, very much but the thing is, I love seeing my mom happy and I am also ready to do whatever it takes to help her get well soon even if that is to force Camilo to get married to someone and start up a family." Trina saw that his confidence and strong will was back and that he was feeling much better, she was very happy to see that. Then she suddenly frowned her face and looked away from him as if upset, he saw this and tried to know what was wrong with her.
"I see that Camilo's the only one who gets all the attention here and I am not important." She said to him.
Elio smiled, he got up and gave her a light kiss on her forehead and then he said to her.
"You will always be important. You know you are the only amazing friend i have." Her heart was suddenly hurt as if hit and broken into pieces but she quickly put on smile. They gave each other another tight hug and went out of the office together to grabbed their lunch.
