UNFORGETTABLE HISTORY

Helene sighed, "so what would you do now?".

"I don't know,but I won't work anymore until I'm done with my exams,at least let me concentrate on it before another shitty thing happen"she explained.

"Oh...ok...that's nice then,I just hope dad don't misbehave while sending stuffs for us...now he has many girlfriends outside"Helene said with a heavy sign.

"That's not a problem, God would provide...besides someone gave me money" Clara explained.

"Who's that?"

"Madam B's brother"She said, "he said I should just manage this till I'm done with my exams, something like that ..I wasn't paying too much attention to his words just I was just surprised and confused at the same time"She narrated bringing out the money from her bag.

"Wo ... .w!!!,he didn't ask anything in return?"Helene asked, collecting the money as she counted it.

"Nuh,he didn't,not even exchange of contact" she stated.

"Huh,are you serious??"helene asked surprised, "that was my honest reaction,when I processed everything...like why didn't he ask for my contact or maybe something else you know,but he didn't he just reassured me and let me go"Clara explained.

"This is twenty five thousand cla"Helene revealed.

"Huh???..."Clara half yelled, taking the money as she counted it herself.

"f**k!!!,I need to return this,"she stated.

"Hey ..you don't need to"Clara advised.

"Probably he did it on purpose,knowing you wouldn't take it if he told you the actual amount"Helene explained.

"But this is too much,what if he doesn't know either??,I'll just go back...I bet he hasn't gone yet"Clara replied rushing out.

Silas held her by the arm,stopping her abruptly, "where to this late hour??"He asked.

"I'll be back!..."She responded pulling his hands away as she ran swiftly back to madam B's shop.

He heaved a deep sigh successfully stopping at the shop, "hi...you gave me..."she stopped half way not seeing anyone outside.

"And what do you need this time??"Maria came out immediately.

"Uhm ... sorry ma'am,but I'm looking for the man who...who...."

"He has gone"Maria stated immediately.

"Ah,for real..??"She asked.

"Yes,got a problem??"Maria asked.

"Uhm...he gave me some amount of money..."She began explaining, bringing it out of her pocket... "I didn't know the money was this much,so I accepted it and...."

"You can have it!"Maria's voice stopped her.

"Huh??..."she replied surprised.

It was unlike her boss she knew. Normally Maria would have collected the money and sent her away.

"Well...it's my brother's money and jeez!!!...Why are you so perfect??!!!,no one would dare return that money if they were in your shoes"Maria stated with an eye roll.

"But ma'am..."

"Derrick knows he gave you such amount, he told me about it...he was pretty annoyed with me for sacking you of course since you're a very nice chef but you know i don't tolerate lateness in my work?!"Maria explained.

"Oh "She muttered.

"Thanks a lot madam B"she bowed.

The lady chuckled, "Madam B??"she laughed out this time.

"This is the first time you're calling me that,it feels kind creepy....what happened to the ma'am you Normally call me huh?"Maria teased.

She smiled, "well ...I just thought you loved when people called you with your nick name"Clara replied fidgeting with the hem of shirt.

"Yes I do,but you're different!...jeez! You're so naive"The lady said shaking her head.

Naive??- she though inwardly.

"Uhm thanks alot ma'am"She bowed.

"Is okay...you can go home,don't bother returning the money,beside that silly boy loves throwing out money anyways"Maria said with a warm smile.

She bowed leaving immediately.

She's never seen this side of her boss before. Probably because it was her brother's situation.

The more she thought of it,the less anger she felt losing her job...probably it was for the better- she thought walking down the aisle home.
