She's my Maid and So What?

She's our Maid?

As I entered the gold gate, I tour my eyes in a very huge mansion. I would never imagine, that I will be living in this kind of house. After I submitted my application they immediately contacted me and asked to work.

"Here we are Ms. Quisano".

Said Mr. Herbert who's in his 50's as he opened the door.

"Thank you sir". I smiled politely to him.

He guide me inside the house and as I walked towards the door, I heard someone talking inside.

"What?! She's our Maid?".

I tilted my head, as he said it in irritated voice.

I calm myself first, inhale, exhale.

"Are you ready to meet them, Ms. Quisano?". Herbert asked.

Seems like my voice was not ready to speak, so I nodded and smiled.

Like a fairytale in every movies, everything just move in slow motion as I saw a tall man standing facing the door where I enter, he is wearing a baby blue sweat shirt and black jeans, his hair is seemingly shining as light sparkle in his head.

Slowly his brown almond eyes gaze at me, and my lips open in awe and my chest starts to pound like crazy.

Is he an angel?

The heavens must be singing with joy right now, when someone like this is in front of you, how will I ever be sane.

I feel like my world is shaking, and someone calling my name.

"Ms. Quisano?".

A quick snap, and I was back in reality. Mr. Herbert keep on shaking me and calling out my name. I was embarrassed as they were all looking at me.

"Are you okay Ms. Quisano?". He asked again.

"Ah, yeah I'm fine". I replied to him with a smile.

"Alright since, we're all here let's start the introduction". A woman in her early 20's clap her hands and everyone change their gaze to her. I must say she's like a goddess, and she has the same almond eyes as the boy who was standing.

"You can sit down". She said to me.

I nodded. She seems so kind and pure when she smiles. This family must be very blessed with beauty.

I sat down in the couch, and introduce myself to them.

"I'm Ayami Quisano, and I applied as a household maid". I started.

They were all nodding as I was saying my name.

"So Ayami, you're 18 years old?". A man who's in middle 50's look to me. Though his age seems old, his face still looks like he is still in his 30's.

"Yes, sir".

"Well, you're too young to be working in this kind of job, how about school".

As he asked me that question, I remembered a memory that I should have forget. That was really worst than a nightmare.

"Ayami? Did your parents approved of this?". A woman who I believe must be his wife asked. She's also stunning like a goddess.

"I...". Words just seems not coming out of my mouth, I'm ashamed of telling them about this, they might not accept me.

"It's okay, you can tell us". She smiled kindly to me, and I feel like a daughter who is hiding her secrets from her mother. I feel very warm.

I take a deep breath, it's okay if this will make me accepted in this job, then I will tell them.

"My parents ran away from home". I started.

They were all staring at me, that I could only look at the floor while talking.

"You can continue". The husband said.

"They were involved in gambling, and they lost all the money we have even my tuition for school, and even our house was sold because they weren't able to pay for the debt". My voice cracked, not because I'm sad, but I'm angry and frustrated right now.

"That's horrible, how could a parent do that". The wife was pretty shocked at what she heard from me.

"I'm sorry for letting you hear such a thing from me". I apologize.

"No, it's not your fault, and you have nothing to do with it". She said.

"From now on, you won't be thinking those kind of things, we will provide you with everything you need, just do your work okay". The husband said.

I felt a slight relieved after hearing such things, my father haven't even said even the word 'okay' to me, such a warm family.

"Anyway, we still haven't introduce ourselves to you, I'm George Truce and this is my wife Lilia Truce". Mr. Truce said.

I smiled and nodded.

"And this is our first daughter Ashleigh and our second son Ashie--". Mrs. Truce stop in the middle of her sentence, and tried to find someone who I guess is obviously not present in here.

"Ahhh, mom I guess he went out". Ashleigh said.

"Oh boy, that kid he was just here a minute ago". She protested.

I tilted my head, was that him I saw earlier? If it's him then his name is Ashie? What a cute name. I smiled.

"Anyway, let's proceed to our youngest and adorable son, Ashton". Mrs. Truce refering to a boy who was petting a dog.

"He's cute". I said.

"Yeah, he's so precious to us, I almost haven't given birth to him". I see a slight sadness in Mrs. Truce eyes.

"It's okay now, he's a cute healthy boy". Mr. Truce said as he holds Mrs. Truce hands.

After a moment of talk they show me my room and how things work in their house, everything is so easy and I don't feel pressured at all. I feel like they are now a family. But throughout the day, I've trying to find someone, but I never saw him since morning.

After dinner, I walk around the house, since Mr. George said that I can tour myself around the house, and he said I can call him by his name but I rather put some formality in there since he is my boss.

As I'm walking, I saw a huge pool at the back of their house, I would say their house is so huge that even a day would passed I can't even finish touring it.

I walk at the edge of the pool, I kneeled down and slowly touch the water, it feels warm.

I suddenly saw someone swimming at the bottom, and I don't know but I feel like it's emerging towards me. And in a blink of an eye, i saw again the almond brown eyes that gazed me this morning, but tonight it's different it's hot and cold at the same time, I can't read it but it seems confused and annoyed at the same time.

At that moment, I only realized that our face were only inches apart, I was stunned and surprise, time seems to stop and I only hear my heart beat, fast as the bullet shot.
