My Maid[Sumji]

Chapter 3

Umji P.O.V

"YOU DID WHAT?!!!!" I knew this was going to happen, I had enough of being scolded by the boss, but now by my friends gave more of a headache.

"I refuse his offer, he was offering a lot of money, but I can't do it," I told them as I organize the purses.

"We understand your reason, but Umji-ah this was a great opportunity for you to get out of the depts your mother left you and your father." I drop the purse I was holding when she mentions my mother.

"Don't bring that devil into this, I'm more than capable of finishing the depts she left us." I pick up the purse.

"Umji-ah, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." Sowon apologizes, but it was too late I was already hurt.

"If you excuse me." I put the purse in its place and head out of the store. I didn't want them to see my watery eyes, I don't want them to see me weak. I head to the back of the store and let my tears fall.

"Why did you leave?'' Its been years, but I still can't forget her. I feel so much hate towards her that it only damages my heart. I took out my phone and texted Sowon.

Me: Can you please cover my shift?

Sowon👑: Sure, and I'm sorry.

Me: It's okay, and don't worry about it.

I put my phone back in my pocket and began to walk back home. As I walk the streets I could hear the laughter of the people. I look around it was a new view for my eyes I usually walk this street very early in the morning or very late at night. I saw many people and each of them was doing something different.

"Mommy, look!!" I saw a little girl pulling her mother dress sleeve.

"It's quite beautiful, like you." The mother picks up the flower and gave to her daughter. I smile at the beautiful scene that was being played in front of my eyes.

We could be like that mother, but your dice to leave me.

I thought to myself, but I was only hurting myself in imagining this crazy dreams.

"It has been 17 years, forget about her," I told myself yet I couldn't convince myself, deep down I still have her in my heart.

"Friday, the busiest day at work." I hear some man talking. Wait, Friday!! I look at my phone and they were right. Today was the day I had to pay three bills. I check my purse and lucky I had enough money, or so I think I do. I ran through the people, of course, bumping with someone, but since is Friday the places in going to closes earlier than usual.

I try to catch my breath, but I ran so much without stopping or having any water with me. I head to the lady I see every single month on this same day.

"What are you doing here Umji-ah?" Mrs. Shin asked me which made me confused, I mean is she okay?

"Came here to pay this month payment." She laughs at me and then passes me a paper.

"Your funny, you have already pay your debt for us, sweetheart." I look at the paper and what I saw shock my eyes.

"I'm sorry, but haven't pay anything." She looked at me.

"Well someone came yesterday and pay off your debt, so now Umji-ah there's no need for you to come here after many years you are finally free."  She was right, but who did this?

"Who pays my 45,000 dollars worth of debt?" I question her.

"I can't tell you who it was, but I was a man. Now have a nice life, my dear." She waves at me and I return the wave.  A man? Who could it be? I need to find out, but after I go pay my other two payments. I began to run again to my other destination.
