Loving You Again

chapter 2

Myrah was looking at her husband who was uncomfortably sleeping on the hospital couch just across her.

The babies recently woke up for a nappy change and to fill up their tummy, now she was cradling them back to sleep again.

At that moment she could not be more grateful to god.

The delivery did not only take energy from Myrah but her husband as well.

Last afternoon, her husband was having a meeting with his investors but as soon as he got a call from Myrah telling him about the contractions, he left everything and came to her.

Usually the time to come home from the office is about 20 minutes, Armando came in less than 10 minutes.

He looked after Myrah and took her to the hospital.

Right now, Armando was still in the suit that he wore yesterday, except he ditched the jacket and tie, and his sleeves were rolled up to his elbows and shirt was untucked.

This disheveled look was not something that is usual to Armando. He was always styled perfectly. The silky brown hair that is usually gel back is messy as he ran his fingers through them several times. The perfectly tailored suit was creased. His handsome face look tired from not sleeping from the past night.

Still while watching him, Myrah took a trip down memory land.

~About six years ago~

Myrah was walking on the streets, without any destination fron the past two weeks now.

She was looking for a job but was in vain because looking at her poor state nobody wanted to give her a job.

The orphanage she used to live in threw her out as soon as she turned 17, saying they could not take care of her anymore.

Myrah was not scared though, she had prepared herself for this day years ago because it was like a ritual, as soon as someone turns 16 they are out of the orphanange.

But she was lucky enough to have a year more to live there.

But that changed on the day she turned 17.

Since then she was roaming around the streets to find a job. She did not even have a roof on her head.

She was able to get some food on random days by washing dishes or cleaning restaurants.

But she knew she could not survive like this.

On one day she sacrificed money for food and bought a newspaper to look for job vacancy.

She was at the bay of giving up as she was really underqualified for the jobs.

And then she saw an article for maid in the Argento mansion.

She knew deep down that the chance of getting a job there was almost non existant for her, as even the maids in Argento mansion were qualified people, but why not take a chance.

With the remaining money she called the number in the article and they told her to come for an interview tomorrow.

She felt an unknown ting of excitement in her heart and hoped that she could get the job.
