I'm Not a Cheap Woman

Cia's a Good Friend

After Stevani and Zaline spoke from heart to heart, the two of them could be calmer now. Zaline did not say who she really was because Stevani forbade discussing it. Stevani fell asleep on the hospital couch until one in the afternoon. The woman even remained unmoved when Zaline was examined by a doctor.

"It looks like your brother is very tired" said the doctor who handled Zaline.

"He works at night, doctor, he just went to bed at 9 this morning" Zaline replied.

"I know your brother's job."

"I stress that my sister is not a cheap woman or a woman like that, doctor."

The doctor knitted his eyebrows and smiled. "I believe she's a good woman, I've known her for 5 years Miss Zaline, the first time she took you I thought she was your mother."

"Sister works as a drink delivery guy at a nightclub. But he never drank a single drop for years. Brother is like a mother to me, he really loves me." Zaline said.

"Amazing defense, promiscuity at night will usually change a person. But Miss Vani can defend herself."

"Sister is a beautiful and kind woman, she is very responsible with her work. There are many who insult him, doctor. But you are always patient and ignore all the insults."

"Miss Vani is indeed very beautiful, she is also patient, I know what she is going through, a little bit she has told me about her life. Oh yeah the guy who paid all the hospital fees, I think he really likes your brother."

"He's not a good man, doctor, I can see him. He is taking advantage of the situation, hopefully Brother Vani can get money to return everything to the man."

"You're possessive of your brother."

"Because I love him so much."

The doctor smiled again. "Are you ready for surgery tomorrow?"

Zaline nodded her head.

"Trust me this operation will succeed little lady, you will recover and return with your sister. Where's Miss Yoyoh?"

"Isn't Mom Yoyoh outside?"

"Before I got in here, I didn't see him outside."

"Maybe Miss Yoyoh is walking down the street because she's bored, she's a very nice woman."

"Why did you just find out about Miss Yoyoh? Actually, Ms. Yoyoh has been looking after you since you left Miss Vani to work. Do you feel you don't need that woman?"

"Sister says it often but I don't care because I can take care of myself. I always think negatively of people around my sister. The first time I met Mrs Yoyoh in her stall, I was indifferent. And now I realize, God still creates good people like Yoyoh's mom."

"You're very mature, well we've had the chat, isn't it time you woke up your sister, she'll be late for work" the doctor said.

Zaline stared at the wall clock. "Oh my God, the doctor's right, you can be late."

"I didn't dare wake her, I said Miss Zaline. Press the button next to your bed if you feel something on your body, okay beautiful..."

Zaline nodded her head and let the doctor handling her out of the room. The doctor was like a friend to Zaline and Stevani. Very good doctor and always talk casually with them.

Zaline looked at Stevani who was still fast asleep, scratching her non-itchy head. He could not bear to wake his brother who looked very tired. But his brother has to keep working because tomorrow he will take leave.

"Sister.." call Zaline slowly. "Sister Vani.." call him again in a louder voice.

Stevani blinked her eyes many times and finally opened her eyes. The woman stared at the wall clock and gasped and sat down. Zaline laughs at him making Stevani look at him.

"You deliberately let your brother fall asleep huh?"

"Sister looks tired, I don't dare to wake up brother. Even Mark's doctor came by but brother didn't wake up."

"Oh my God, Mark's doctor examined you and saw you fall asleep, embarrassing. What's Doctor Mark saying, you're okay, right?"

Zaline nodded her head. "Doctor Mark knows you're tired, he doesn't dare to wake you either. The doctor said something nice about my surgery, brother doesn't have to worry. Brother Vani will be late, brother come home to change clothes."

"Where is Yoyoh's mom?"

"So, I'm not looking for Mom Yoyoh just came home, just a minute, baby."

Stevani got up from her seat, just wanted to get out of the room, Mom Yoyoh went inside.

"I'm sorry mommy, I met an old friend whose son was sick too. So I chatted for a while." said Ms. Yoyoh.

"Just now I want to find mom, it's okay mom. I'm sorry I have to go home now, I have Zaline" Stevani said.

"Certainly neng Vani, heart hearts on the way."

Stevani nodded her head and approached Zaline. "Sister comes home and works yes, sister will try to go home sooner to accompany you before entering the operating room" he said while kissing Zaline's forehead.

"If work is busy, you don't have to rush home. I'm with Ms. Yoyoh, sister don't have to worry. The operation will also start at 10 a.m."

"All right then... Brother go now, bye..."

"Heart of heart."

Stevani nodded her head and then came out of the room, she immediately got out of the hospital to her rented taxi.

*****

Lucky for Stevani because it was not too late to come to the club, if he arrived late then Huber could not allow him to take leave. The refund agreement is 3 days away. He has to work harder to get his money.

Actually Stevani is desperate, he feels it is impossible to get that much money for the last 3 days.

"Van... How's Zaline doing?" cia asked surprised him. "Oh my God, you're daydreaming miss."

"Sorry Cia, I'm thinking a lot. Zaline's good, she'll have surgery tomorrow."

"I heard about Mr. Dani. Why don't you tell me, you tell Juana everything."

"What difference does it make to me to tell you all this or Juana? You'll know everything."

"Are you out of your mind to get involved with that guy Van?"

"I don't want Cia either, she came to the hospital and did everything without my consent. I didn't have the heart of Zaline until I had to."

"I have 50 million in savings, I can lend it to you. Don't turn it down, Vani, I don't want you to fall in the arms of that engaged man. I'm lending it instead of just giving it away, I'll help you get the rest. You know not if tonight's a special guest renting the 3rd floor, I'll get the money from the conglomerates."

"Cia..."

"I don't want to hear anything from your mouth, I know you can't possibly get the money. You want to give yourself to that guy, don't expect me to let him." Cia said angrily.

Stevani sobbed, she did not expect there to be a friend like Cia. The woman sold her body for money, how could she use the woman's money.

"Cia. I will use your money if it is true for 3 days I have no solution. Please don't force me to trouble you, Cia." Stevani said.

Cia shook her head. "Basically stubborn. But remember what I said, I won't let you be with Mr. Dani, remember that. If you keep doing it, let's just say we never knew." he threatened to leave Stevani.

"Cia.." call Stevani but she just left him.

Stevani lowered her head and wiped away her tears.

"Vani.." call Huber.

Stevani immediately approached Huber.
