I smiled at what Mom said. I hugged her tight. I was very lucky because even though I was deprived of wealth, I had a good mother who took care of me.
The next day, I found a time to talk to Sean. I will still try even if it is very unlikely to happen. The important thing is that I tried...
We were in the car, because we were going to Cagayan to attend a seminar. Sean was busy playing on his cellphone. I, on the other hand, was sitting next to him, I was constantly sighing because I couldn't start what I wanted to say.
I didn't know that it noticed what I was doing so even without looking at me it asked.
"What? Do you have something to say? it asked.
My lips parted, it felt so fast and he knew I was going to say something.
"Huh? A...e... What, what..."
"What? Are you in debt? How much? here.
"What? Hi-no, I won't owe...
"Then, what? You were just sighing at that,"
"W-what, those friends of mine from high school... because they saw you on TV when you were interviewed. They saw that I was with you, they knew that I was working with you. Because when we were still in high school, they had a crush on you so they teased me that they could date you for even just one night." I breathed a sigh of relief because I finally said what I meant.
"Are you sure they were the only ones who had a crush on me then? Is that you? he asked me which surprised me.
"W-what? I'm not crushing on you!" I quickly refused.
He laughed at me and shook his head. Even though he was staring at his cellphone screen. It can be traced to its excessive self-loathing.
"I won't date them, I'm not your type of friends."
After saying that, he put the headset on his ear. So I couldn't do anything but look out the window. I can't do anything if he doesn't want to. I know that he will refuse.
JUST LIKE Madam's promise. He taught me in college. I graduated from the course I chose, that's why Mama was so happy and proud of me. I also spent several years studying while working as Sean's assistant. There are times when I get tired and struggle because I'm often awake and tired. Because Sean was always running away from me, he was involved in the gimmicks of the gang. I, on the other hand, will do everything he can go to just to bring him home. I've been through a lot and Sean doesn't even appreciate that. There was even a time when I was in trouble, because of what I would find in him. I used to come home late and once I almost got robbed.
I used to walk in a place that was not very familiar to me. I don't know why I'm so nervous and I feel like someone is following me. There weren't many people then and it was late at night. Someone told me that Sean had a friend in that place who invited him to drink because it was his birthday. That's why I quickly went to the place to ask Sean to come home because Madam might look for him again.
While walking, I hugged my handbag. Because there are some important things like my wallet and cellphone. Even if Sean has a cell phone, it's dead so I can't contact him. I looked behind me because I really felt that someone had followed me. Because I hear some rustling of feet. But when I look back, I see nothing but the quiet place. I thought I should just speed up my pace. But in my haste, a man attacked me. It chased me so I cried while running. I tripped because I was running, so it caught me. It aimed a knife at my face.
"Give me your bag, but I'll kill you!" a thin man threatening me. His eyes are deep and obviously addicted, his hair is tangled as if he hasn't bathed. His clothes were dirty and his boxer shorts were torn. He was only wearing dirty slippers, so I knew he was a beggar who had no job but to steal and snatch.
Because of the fear I feel, I reached for my bag.
"Don't hurt me, this is my bag..." I said with a trembling voice.
He grinned at me as he grabbed my bag. Thinking that it wouldn't hurt me, that's when I made a mistake. It stared at me from head to toe, it looks like it doesn't just need a bag because it's like a dog drooling when it sees my legs. I only wore a short skirt because that was our uniform.
"You look delicious... Maybe I can taste you for a moment." He said this stupidly while holding my hair.
I averted my face from him. I am crying because of fear. Especially when it smells like my hair. I couldn't scream because I could clearly see the knife he was holding and pointed at me. I might scream, he suddenly thrust it at me.
I closed my eyes in fear, just a few moments later I heard a rustling behind me. At the same time as the man in front of me kicked out. I woke up and that's when I saw the man who had groped me flinch. It turned out to be kicked in the face by a man who suddenly appeared in that place. The snatcher's nose was bleeding, before he could get up he quickly hit him with another kick so that the knife he was holding flew out.
A man whose face I couldn't make out because he was wearing a hat, a black jacket and pants. He kept kicking and punching the man until he lost consciousness. After the man lost consciousness, he walked away without saying a word. I was going to chase it so that I could thank you because I couldn't speak because of my fear of the snatcher.
That was the first time I saw the man who helped me that I didn't even know. When Madam found out, Sean was scolded by Gov. Sean is prohibited from using the car and the internet or any gadget that he can use to contact friends. Sean wasn't mad at me, but he apologized to me.
I always thought about the man who helped me. I always dream about him but I can't see his face. I told that to Mama and Ate Eva, but Ate Eva was just deceiving me that she might be my guardian angel.
A few months ago I wanted to say goodbye to Madam that I will start applying to other companies that I know I can use what I studied, but I failed. It did not allow me to resign from the job first because Sean was about to start working with Gov. He said he needs me more because there is no one else who will be his son's assistant and supporter. Madam said she likes me more because she says I'm used to it and can trust me in everything. So Madam asked me to stay until she found someone to replace me as an assistant. I stayed at work because of my debt to Madam.
