Cook?
I gawked at him with my mouth agape.
For real? Like he wants me to be their cook.
“Huh?” I arched like I didn’t hear what he just said.
“Y-yes. I’m serious. Babysit my kids and be our cook too. I’ll pay you enough to take care of yourself and your Mom.”
He spoke out again.
I blinked my eyes continously. Take care of myself and Mom?. Isn’t this a great offer?…
He stared at me with so much suspense. Waiting for a reply from me.
The look on his face thinks I’m gonna reject his offer.
Like he.ll?
“Even if it’s just to be your house cleaner, I’ll definitely do it. So far it fetches me money for my mom’s medication and my upkeep.”
I smiled feeling so excited.
“No way!” He grinned. Exhaling deeply.
“You didn’t expect me to decline such wonderful offer did you?” I smiled again.
“Geez! I thought you’d never consent to it”
“No. I’m ready to do anything. Babysitting your kids will be wonderful. I’ve never babysit any kid once. But I bet with your kids, it’s gonna be fun.”
I squiled in happiness.
“Yeah right. I hope so too” he said under his breath.
As if in doubt.
I ignored that and continued.
“When do I start?”
“Anytime… Tomorrow. But first, I need to tell my kids so I won’t take them unawares.
And you, you have to arrange your things properly. Cause you’ll be living with us” He spoke out.
My countenance instantly dropped.
“Live with you?”
“Yes.. or is there something wrong with that?”
“No.. not at all. It’s just that I can’t leave my mom all alone in her condition….and…”
I stopped. Letting out a tired sigh.
“It’s fine. It’s okay. I’ll start right away with whatever condition.”
“Okay then… I’ll hear from you tomorrow.. I’ll come pick you up at your place in the morning” Mr David retorted
“But you don’t even know where I…
“I’ll take you home once we’re done with lunch”
With that said, he dug his fork into his meal and started his food.
I was about to object.. but I literally saw no reason to.
He just said what he’s gonna do. Besides, it’ll save my T-fare.
I shut my thoughts and continued with my food.
? JANIETTA ?
She laid in her room that sunny afternoon. Her two siblings outside playing by the side of the pool.
She chosed not to join them. She doesn’t want to join them. It brings back memories…
Memories of Mariah… Her late mother.
Her mom used to take her to the pool side for swimming lessons. Her mom would flip her tiny feets inside the water with her little hands clutching her wrist so tight in fear.
She would scream out loud. Feeling the wavy- current with so much fear. But there was always that sweet voice there to calm her.
‘Relax Annie’….
*Annie* that’s what her mom always called her. No one except her mom had the right to call her that. The sound of that name alone could calm the storm in her heart.
Now she misses that sweet calm voice. She misses her mom so much.
There’s no day that passes that she wouldn’t Miss her. She miss her touch, her scent, food, care and bedtime stories… Even her songs too.
Her mom would sing her a Lullaby anytime she found it hard to sleep. Her mom was a sweet woman.
A caring one who’d give up anything at all just to see her Happy.
Waves of memories crashing get head.
Anything she does. Everything in the house reminds her of mom.
She was never there to say Goodbye.
Though she visited during her stay at the hospital before delivery day.
Her mom’s mood was so bright that she never suspected a thing.
She’s just a little girl. Who never thought death could be so cruel.?
She remembered her mom telling her during one of her visits to always look after her dad and siblings.
She never knew what mom meant by that.
But now she knows. And the thought of it alone makes her sad.
She has clinged to that word till now.
She’ll always look after her dad and siblings…
She won’t give anyone a room to make a mess of them. No Lady
Cause no one can take the place of their mom in their home.
? DAVID ?
? EVENING:::: Family Dinner ?
The family sat together as usual for dinner. U stared at my kids..
Junior was already asleep in his room.
And Kayla, is sitted here close to Noel who kept eating from her portion of food.
“Daddy!! Noel is ..
“Noel eat your own food and leave Kayla’s alone. Isn’t that enough for you”..
I cut Kayla off… I knew exactly what her complaint was gonna be.
“It is. But Kayla’s is way too heavy for her. I’m just trying to help” he said in with an innocent face.
“Keep your help to yourself” Kayla stucked out her tongue for him and he stucked his tongue out too.
” Table Manners!” I said under my breath… And they stopped.
Giving themselves a scornful look.
Hmph. I ignored them and stared at janietta who sat queitly amongst us.
She isn’t herself today. She had barely touched her food and I wonder why?
“Janie… What’s the problem? You are barely eating” I asked and she breathe out.
“I’m fine”
I stared long at her and watched her dip a lit of her food into her mouth.
She isn’t herself Today. I wonder what the problem is.
Who offended her? Did Noel or Kayla do anything?
I won’t be so sure though. Janietta knows how to handle her younger ones when I’m not around and if there was any complaint, my Kayla would have told me.
Well that aside.
I’m gonna break the news to them about their new cook and babysitter.
We are having a peaceful Dinner and nothing can possibly go wrong.
“Hmmmm kids I have good news” I gave out a smile.
“What’s it daddy? You got me a new Cinderella toy?” Kayla cut in
“No no.! You got me a skateboard. You know I’ve always wanted a skateboard” Noel added.. looking excited.
But I shook my head negatively at their guesses.
“Then what is it?” Noel asked. Eager to hear what I have to say.
“Well… I– I’ve found for you guys.. your Babysitter and cook”
Suprised eyes stared speechlessly at me.
“And who’s that?” Noel arched.
“Rosiana… The lady from a week ago”
I rolled out her name and Janietta gave A frustrating sigh as she dropped her spoon and walked out of the dinning.
“Jan— janietta” I tried calling her back
Too late,.. she already ran into her room and banged the door shut.
