CHAPTER 07

CHAPTER 07: Let's Start

That’s my life before.

I can't blame anyone for this. I can fully imagine what happened before and it looks like it yesterday had happened.

I was here on the rooftop, breathing and feeling the fresh air. It’s been 2 years now that I left home. I left all of them because I can’t take it anymore.

There’s a lot of houses that I can see from here. It’s nice. The beautiful resort from nearby, a lot of people who are visiting and relaxing their selves.

I was here at one of the very known apartments, owned by an old woman who helps me. And from here I can see the city, a lot of high buildings. The city where I came from, my family living, my friends, schoolmates, neighbor, and all of them who hurt me.

But the day and time are nearly coming. I’m going there soon and going to face them.

Because I can’t be happy in my life if I’m not going to do it. Even if I’m trying to forget all of those had happened, the pain and even I’m trying to change myself, I can’t.

Those Heartaches is still here with me.

I’m hurting myself again by thinking about it. I hope these will fade someday- heartaches.

“Sam, will you start cleaning now!” I hear aunt Meredith shouted.

“Yeah! Sorry, I’m going to take a bath first!” I respond to her. I’m doing my assignments and as I look at the clock. Oh! No. I spend half of the hours here.

“Faster, it’s already 7:21 a.m.,” she said while leaving in my room.

“Yeah! I’m almost done!”

I take a bath as fast as I can and before leaving my room, I clean it first.

Maybe I should sleep early next time because I don’t want my aunt will get mad.

Aunt Meredith is one of the good women I met. She is 61 years old with wrinkle-faced and some white hair. She is as fat as Patrick in SpongeBob. Just kidding!

She helps me a lot and I think the things that I can do other than saying thank you is to obey her. She’s the only one I have in my life.

I made my way to the kitchen and there I saw food on the table, I want to eat but I know they are not going to allow me. So, I just need to ignore my hunger.

I saw one room on my right side, maybe this is aunt Meredith is referring to me.

I unlock the door and as I saw everything I got surprised. All the things that I consider my friends and companion in my whole life is here. It’s all new and in different colors.

I should thank aunt Meredith for this. Sometimes she is moody and so strict. But sometimes also she is so kind. By the way she don’t have any childrens.

I tie my hair and I let out a heavy sigh.

“I’m going to start!” I said to myself.

I get the color green broom, a red dustpan, a blue waste bin, and a color yellow mop. Aunt Meredith really know what's my favorite colors- the rainbow.

“Don’t worry my friends, I’m going to take care of all of you,” I said to the things that I got. I’m not a psycho but I can’t resist talking to these cleaning tools.

Aunt Meredith owns this big and costly apartment. As an exchange for living here, I need to do the cleaning. This apartment is near at the beautiful places to visit so definitely there is a lot of people who going to sleep or take rooms here.

Ten rooms should I clean in 3 hours and I can take my breakfast. I’m not just doing cleaning here, I also do the washing dishes and washing clothes every Saturday.

There’s also a cleaner here like me so we’re half of this building.

“Hey, Sam! Why your too early?” Lilly said one of my companion in cleaning and aunt Meredith niece. She is 20 years old and I don’t like her, because she is always sound bitches to me. But I didn’t mind it and I just act good to her.

Even though she and Aunt Meredith is real family, she need to help me in cleaning because that’s want Aunt want her to do, to help me. And I know she is against with the decision of her own Aunt.

But actually that is what her need to do here, to help me clean the room, that’s all then she can now rest or going outside.

I hope we can be friends, she is kind but I don’t know why she don’t want me. She really looks my sister and they’re have a same age. Maybe that’s the reason why I can’t hate her.

“I’m late, sorry but you can start cleaning, right?” I asked her.

“No! It’s unfair we should start with same time! So faster walking there!”

“O-okay…but you just need to clean ten rooms also same with mine then you can rest…”

She just roll her eyes and continue also walking. She really have a good body posture and she look likes a model.

It makes me interested to know what happened, why she is not with her family. Where her mom, dad or is she had a sister or brother? Why she is just with her aunt but I know she is now a college student and she studying in Lakey University, the school where should I study too.
