Gwen

GWEN It was as the middle of a pleasant night at 11:00 p.m, two couples Stephen and Stella were sitting on their bed in their old purple painted room, they were having a quiet discussion on their plans of migrating to New York because Stephen just got approved of having a job from out there, although they would spend a lot of money on the migration, "maybe you should go without us dear" Stella suggested considering the cost of migration, " you don't need to worry dear I need you and little Gwen beside me always" Stephen smiled just like he always do, they looked down at their Little baby Gwen sleeping on the bed between them with her back on the bed. Actually at the time they got married they were not actually rich so they, intentionally stayed up to five years without a child right after their marriage, at the end of the fifth year of staying together without a child, Stephen decided they should have just one child but Stella always disagrees because they barely get enough money to feed themselves so having a child will bring more expenses. One year of arguments Stella with no choice agreed to have one child with him, they had a baby and survived together for five mores years. now they are planning to leave Chicago to New York for Stephen's new job, this job had a huge amount of salary to get after each month, so it would increase they financial income and their ability to buy their needs. "all I need is our comfort" Stella "I could borrow money from my big sister" Stephen, "you know how grumpy your big sister is isn't it?" Stella asked, Stephen took a deep breath because his big sister is not an easy person"I just need to try" Stephen, Stella looked at Stephen into his eyes knowing he won't give up on his plan "well...ok then since you insist that we should go together then it's fine as far as it won't bring problems" Stella, Stephen smiled and kissed Stella, "we should go to bed sweetie we have a day tomorrow" Stephen, they lied on the bed and slept. two weeks later at noon time, Stella was at home making launch at the kitchen, she was cutting vegetables very closed to the plate sink, Stephen was not at home, he had gone out to work since seven in the morning, Little Gwen sat on the floor with Stella at the kitchen with toys around her, she was holding one on her hand playing with it , although her happiness today was strange because she was laughing massively like she saw something funny, Stella's attention at the rapid rate of excitement, she stared at Little Gwen for some seconds when suddenly a knock at the door took her attention, "oh" she left the vegetables and walked towards the door and opened, it was Clara, her husband's elder sister whom they planned to borrow money from, "oh good afternoon Mrs. Clara" Stella greeted but Clara walked into the house without answering her greetings "Stephen!!, Stephen!!!... wha" Clara "he's not home" Stella interrupted, "I'm sorry young lady I wasn't talking to you" Clara looked around little Gwen crawled down to them at the sitting room, "would you look at that, she's turning to a big girl now" Clara turned to Stella "where the heck did he go woman?" Clara, "he went out since morning for work" Stella replied, Clara walked away to the door, opened and slammed the door close. "I can't wait to leave this place she's pissing me off" Stella walked back to the Kitchen and continued her cooking at the kitchen. Stephen works at a company with a lot of stores in sales of different goods and services his job out their was a cleaning job, although he read engineering at school. He was always not treated nicely at his work place by customers and some workers too because of his low class and appearance. It's six at evening and it was time to close for the day, people were vacating the place to their homes, Stephen was sweeping a shoe shop when he accidentally swept dust on a female customers right leg who was picking up her shoes after payment "wha?!!" the lady screamed, " I'm so sorry ma'am it was an accident" Stephen, the woman looked up and down at Stephen, " how dare you, just take a look at my right leg, i***t" said the customer, Stephen picked of a small white piece of clothe to clean her legs but she stepped back, the cashier stood doing nothing just watching the customer and Stephen, "what are you trying to do you poor thing? you think I would let you put that rag on my leg, don't be such a fool" the customer raised her voice, the cashier walked closer to them, " I don't know why they brought you to work here it's not like you are blind" the cashier scolded Stephen, "I was just trying to clean the dust I put on her leg" Stephen, "I think I need to see the manager of this shoe store they should take you to the CEO and get you fired" the customer said and smiled, "please ma'am it hasn't gotten to that" Stephen pleaded with the customer, "no I'm not leaving until I see your manager, "I'll do that right away ma'am" the cashier left to call the manager, Stephen frowned in sorrow, as he knew that he was going to get fired. Time was 9 at night Stella held baby Gwen on her hands while breastfeeding her baby, she was also waiting for Stephen for about three hours now, "what is taking him so long?" she said worriedly, turned to the wall clock on the wall as times reaches 9:30. Stephen was walking home today, he faced the ground with tears in his eyes because he planned to use the salary of the actual month to pay for plane ticket to New York city, "how?...how am I going to carry all my family to New York, I guess I'm gonna be borrowing money from my sister, but it's gonna be tough to do, she's never been easy on me since my parents died, her kids don't even like me at all, I guess I have to take my wife's plan on going alone to new York" after two hours of walking home he finally reach home , then time was already 11 at midnight , he opened the door, it was dark , so he turned the light, he looked towards the dining and saw his dinner, he smiled, "you have been waiting for so long dear" step walked towards the table about to eat, suddenly he Heard footsteps of someone coming downstairs, "what took you so Long?" step asked worriedly, "uhm I...I got fired today" Stephen sat on the dining chair where his dinner is, Stella paused, took a deep breath and bent and held Stephen on his two shick, "what did you do dear?" Stella asked, "actually I was cleaning up for the day against the next day, when I accidentally swept dust on a customers leg, she called the manager against me and the manager got me fired" Stephen, Stella felt angry, "so... that's it?" she raised her voice, "hey shuuuuu" Stephen trying to make Stella not to scream, "oh no don't shush me, because of a customer , they fired you?" Stella became more angry Stephen saw the anger on her face and decided to stop talking about it, "how is little Gwen?" Stephen asked, "she's sleeping in the room...hmm look you can't just change this discussion we need to do something so you can be able to carry I and Gwen along" Stella, "well I think this time we're gonna have to do it the way you planned before"Stephen replied, "ok...whatever, by the way your sister came this afternoon looking for you, she wasn't too grumpy today like usual" Stella.
