Fiancé for hire

2. life hit me like a train.

I knew I was dead today. The way Mrs Rossi looked up at me. Why the heck am I so careless? Ugh.  She was about to say something when the doorbell rang. Phew! Saved by the bell.

I saw 2 ladies come in through the door. They were in their late fifties. Probably the same age as Mrs Rossi. I stood in the corner of the room,my head bowed down. Mrs Rossi nodded at me which was an indication that I should start with my cleaning. I made my way to the laundry room. After I was done with the huge pile of clothes. I went to the kitchen. I started cleaning the dishes. I made my way to the storage room because I needed the mop to clean the floor.

I was mopping the floor when suddenly my elbow hit something and there was a loud crash. I turned around and saw that I had hit a flower vase. I had heard Mrs Rossi talking about it earlier and she said that the vase was pretty expensive . I was in danger now. I was about to clean the mess I had just made when Mrs Rossi came to me.

She was already angry at me because of my carelessness and now I just broke an expensive vase. She looked me in the eye. I could see the rage in her eyes. I slowly stood up and made my why to the corner wall. I freezed when I realised that I was trapped now. Mrs Rossi came up to me . Held my hair and said " I knew you would be trouble. I knew it since the first day. I was finding a reason to fire you. Now that you have broken this vase , I think this is the perfect reason to fire you".

My breath was stuck. I knew I didn't like this job but I had to pay for my rent and the food. I didn't have any savings which I could use during a crisis. And then she spoke those dreadful words "YOU ARE FIRED".
Tears started running down my cheeks. I was scared of being in debt. I picked up my belongings and ran out of the mansion, the water droplets still rolling down my cheeks. I sat in the subway. There weren't many  people in the subway this time. I cried my heart out.

I reached home and opened my door. As soon as went in, I threw my belongings away and fell on the bed. I had a picture of my mum on the side table. I missed my mum. If only she was here life would have been much better. Even if I met my dad at this point, I would forgive him and act as if he had been with me for a long time . I was desperate for love. I wanted someone to care for me. Be it a stranger or my dad. Well atleast I can get some sleep tomorrow.
