My Destiny

CHAPTER 3

3.

It's 8 pm and I'm still working in the kitchen with MADY and other maids. Though I was tired and wanted to take some rest, I can't. We can't go to our rooms until we complete all the works and make sure everything is clean.

We can't even take a little break in the free time that's how the maid works here. We don't even talk with each other except about some work-related. There are some limits and boundaries. If we crossed it, nobody knows what will happen.

There are not many people working in this mansion as well and it's not even easy to work here. Only a few people can work who have a history in this mansion. The history can be dark that people can't even imagine.

They have to deal with many things- physically, mentally, and emotionally leading to the deepest scars or nightmares in their life. These are the things that this mansion holds in the people life working here and nobody knows about it until they are involved.

From the outside, the mansion holds the luxurious and fancy look that all the people admire and dreamed of whether to live or work here. Nobody knows the evil side that this mansion holds.

I took a deep sigh and continued working. Everyone was busy with their own work. I looked around and nobody was in the kitchen except me and MADY. Then, I continued cleaning the dishes until MADY approached me.

"So, how old are you AMICA?" She asked me and managed the dishes on the rack that I washed.

"I'm 20," I replied and looked at her.

"You're still young to work here." I nodded and smiled at her. "Did you-" She covered her mouth. "Sorry. I didn't mean to. I just wanted to say that don't do anything unless you are told. Be careful with work and some people as well."

We talked about many things while cleaning the kitchen. When somebody called her, she went out of the kitchen and I continued my work. Mostly MADY said about her family and the mansion work, how she was brought here, what she felt, everything.

She is a good and kind person. She helps every worker in this mansion as she is the only one who has been working here for a long time. She is the only person in the mansion who approached me and talked to me.

From MADY, I get to know a lot about this mansion and I noticed that most of the things were changed and many things have happened when I was sent away. 

She said about the people living here and how they treat maids, about their schedule and all. Many people come here who are not good as most of their work is kind of dangerous and illegal. 

I know those people. How can I forget them? They made my life hell. They made me suffer and go through all these things. I never thought that I would have to live here from now with those people under the same roof. They took away my happiness and my loved ones. I will never forget them even if I die.

Suddenly, somebody tapped on my shoulder and I was startled but felt relief when I saw the person. I was totally lost in my thoughts and didn't hear MADY calling me.

"Hey AMICA, what happened? Let's go. Madam is calling us." I just nodded to her and followed her to the living room.

I looked around the place and saw everyone. I was confused as all the people working in the mansion were present. We all were standing in the line, lowering down our heads.

Now, what? I thought to myself and shook my head. Then, I heard someone's footsteps in the hall as the person was walking towards the couch. Whoever the person was, we weren't allowed to look at them. We are allowed only when they say.
