THE REAL PROBLEM IS

Michelle and Christine are walking home like nothing happened, Michelle is looking at Christine from time to time and thinking that any moment Christine will ask what she do for a living and why there is a old man who kissed her and touched her in s****l way, but it never happened, Christine did not even utter a single word or ask a question about it, she just kept her mouth shut and act like nothing happened.

Christine saw everything and heard everything what the neighbors in her neighborhood are tackling about, she heard them talking about Michelle sometimes, some of them said that Michelle left her husband for a rich old man for her to leave comfortably, some said that her husband has a disease because of her and few said that her husband had already passed away, but Christine never said anything she just listened and did not utter a single word. She knows everything of course that Michelle loves her husband so dearly that she is willing to sell her own body for her to earn enough for her husband's medication and treatment, of course they tried to get some loan but after a couple of treatment and medication the debt became big and she does not know what to do. Everytime Daryl visits, everyone acts like there is no problem at all. One day she asked her Aunty about it whether Daryl knew about his father’s disease but they said no, and they do not even have a plan to tell him, it was even his father’s own wish that his son should know nothing about his disease. He knew his son very well he knows that once Daryl acquire a knowledge about his disease he will stop studying and will go home to look for a stable job and help them to pay their bills and he does not want this to happen, it is his wish for his son to finish it’s college and get married to the women he loves and have a good life. She might be his girlfriend but for her it is not her role to tell him what truly his father's health condition is, she respects them truly and loves them with all her heart, she loves them like her own family.

After they walk she hug Michelle again and left, she ran towards her home and dash in her house when she saw her mother she hugged her tightly and kissed her cheeks like what she always do everyday, she might be an adult but for her no matter what her age is she will always do this to her mother, because she will not be in this world if it is not for her. “Mom I gotta go I just forgot something I will come back home before dinner” she dash to their second floor and look for her piggy bank she saved a small amount of money for her future she wants to become a doctor and since the tuition fee is so expensive ever since she was in high school she will always look for job that might help her in her expenses, she is currently taking a course of BSMT also known as Medical Laboratory Science as her premed course while DAryl is taking the course of Business Management. “ It is a good thing that I save you Mr. Blue but this will be our goodbye I have to give you to someone who really needs you” she named her piggy bank Mr. Blue in the past Daryl and Daniel are always making fun of her since she named a piggy bank blue since its color is a clue it is kinda childish but for her those days are fun. She ran again and went to Daryl’s house. She rang the doorbell until Michelle opened the door and was looking at her weirdly. She went inside and gave her the piggy bank “Anty this is my gift for you guys, I know that it is not much but that is all I have since I was trying to save money for Medicine but I know that Uncle needs it more that I do” Michelle was shock she need the money yes but this girl work hard for this piggy bank to be full and now she is just giving this to them like it is not a big deal “ Christine you are a kind child but how could I possibly accept your gift, besides there is no special occasion why would you give us a gift? You work so hard for it how could I possibly accept it” Christine was thinking for sometime now and said “Aunty I know what your job is and I know that you often cry because you feel disgusted by yourself, Aunty I do not care what other people will say to you or to me since I always hangout with you even though that Daryl is not even here, but as you said I was the one who worked hard to earn it and now I believe that I have the decision to make what I should do to this money and my decision is, to give them to you so that I can help you to your expenses'' Michelle do not know what to do she is right she often friend and feel disgusted to herself she love her husband but she is selling herself in order to earn a money for their expenses so she decided to accept it and thank her. After Michelle accpeted the money Christine left
