Taint

Get Started

The ringing of the phone pulled me from dreamland, forcing me to open my eyes and return to the real world. With my eyes still slightly closed, I fumbled at the table, beside the bed. I pulled out my phone and stuck it in my ear, without seeing who the caller was.

"Hallo," I said in a still hoarse voice.

"Hallo, Ra, you're still sleeping, huh?" ask for a shrill voice I believe to belong to Mayra.

"Yes, it's morning, May. What's up?" I rubbed my eyes and got out of my sleep.

"I want to ask you about last night" replied Mayra excitedly.

"Every night?" my many.

I don't understand what Mayra means. Last night, we did chat, but it wasn't long and I don't think anything was too important.

"Yes. Said you were gonna work at Reza's shop."

"Oh, about that. Why mother?" I'm still not understanding.

"Ishh, why the hell, you still haven't forgotten how I feel?" Now, Mayra asked me back.

I let out a long sigh, actually not forgetting, only now that I doubt, is still Mayra feeling the same as before.

"Yes, I remember" I replied.

"Help me, Ra. So long my efforts are still in vain, even though I love him so much," pinta Mayra.

I haven't been able to answer Mayra's words, suddenly the phone connection was cut off. I stared at my phone screen while frowning, it turned out to be low bat. I growl upset, because I often forget this important thing.

"Later on, Ra, I'll call" I said on the screen of the extinguished phone.

I went to the bathroom after charging my phone. I cleared myself while calming down a slightly tired mind. I wish my burdens would fall with the warm water flushing my body and hair.

After cleaning myself, I wrapped my body in a uniform. Black trousers combined with a long white shirt. I look at my reflection in the mirror, the more today this stomach becomes more and more filled. I took a deep breath, pregnancy is indeed not something that can be hidden.

"I'll take care of him, no matter the consequences." I said as I rubbed my stomach slowly.

"I want him to grow up to be a strong boy, so I have to be strong as well. I have to be strong to face anything later on. I chose this path myself, so I certainly can" I said to encourage myself.

After tucking my hair and applying a little make up, I stepped out. I left immediately, without eating a bite of food. Although there is rice, fruit, and also bread, but this stomach is still reluctant to be filled.

I walked to the boutique that had just opened. Alena greeted me with a nod and a smile.

"Clean the glass, I'll sweep it!" say someone who knows what his name is. He gave me a rag and a bucket.

"Rin! Don't give her orders!"

"Al, he's also an employee, right? He's new, is it wrong that I teach him?" protest girl called 'Ren'.

"Just do your job as usual, don't burden him!"

"Why the hell is he distinguished, is it not-don't__"

"Rena!" snapped Alena.

"Sir Alena, it's okay, I'll clean the glasses," I mediated them. "Sir, greetings, yes" I said to Rena.

"Kirana, no! Just go in and fix the clothes that might come off the hanger" Alena said.

"But, Ma'am."

"Don't complicate things, Kirana. According to!" Alena rubbed my shoulder while looking at me, I don't know what she meant.

I glanced at Rena who was putting on an annoyed face. He squinted his eyes while stomping his feet, then he left us without a word.

"Bak Alena, it looks like__"

"I'm just running the mandate, Kirana. He forbids you from working too hard. You're pregnant, you can't climb like this." Alena pointed to the chair that was already provided. "So ..just do a light job, then let Kyla clean the glasses," he continued.

"Him? What does Daniel mean?" ask me quickly.

Alena didn't have time to answer me, because she hurriedly picked up the phone. I waited a long time, but Alena never ended the conversation. Then I stepped in, and did the work, so that Rena would not get more upset with me.

"If in the movies, those who are treated special, it is those who want to go up in bed. Did you use that trick too?"

Rena, I can't believe she's got a spicy mouth. It was so easy to throw out hurtful sentences while smiling widely.

"What do you mean!" my snapping.

Whatever I am, I don't want to look weak in front of him. I don't want to, if later he's more willing to step on my pride. Ever since I left home, it means I've had no protection. I won't show my weakness to strangers. I need to be able to protect myself.

Later, if my son is born, I must be a fortress for him. I wouldn't be able to do that if I didn't start from now.

"If emotion, it means yes." Rena folded her hands on her chest, her expression completely underestimating me.

"Yes or no, that's my business. You know why someone messes with other people's business? The reason is because of envy and not being able to. Maybe ... You used to try that trick, but it was rejected outright. Right, no?" I raise both my eyebrows, I put on a shitty expression like him.

"You___" Rena growled while raising her hand.

Seriate....
