Why We Married?

Worst Conditions

Mia is sick. Something I was so afraid of finally happened. Our backs, our only life support, finally fell helpless because of malaria.

The doctor said Mia was sick from being too tired to work, she also had anemia due to not enough sleep. Naturally, Mia worked indefinitely until her body was on the threshold. All this time what worries me is that he never once complained about how tired he was from slamming bones. He never complained even though sometimes he was very sick like this.

This is the worst thing that has ever happened to us. Although Mia did not work because of illness or fatigue, it was usually Shin who helped the family's economy by working overtime all day.

But given Shin's current condition, plus he couldn't come out to avoid the suspicions of his gang members, making us completely uncomplicated.

In the days that followed, our situation reached its limit.

The remaining food stock is only enough for less than two weeks. Not to mention the added cost of Mia's treatment that has not been paid off, and the most worrying turns out Shin also needs treatment due to his last wound that never healed and even semangkin reddened.

I'm in a dead end, not knowing what to do. There's nothing I can do to help them both. In times like these, I feel like I am the most useless person in the eyes of my brothers. I feel ashamed that I can only be troublesome without ever doing anything meaningful to them. I'm a complete loser.

"Hey, Sada. Where are you going!?"

Mia's voice stopped me, when she suddenly caught me coming out of the house.

"I-I want to buy fish sauce. Our fish sauce stock is thinning!" Answer's nervous.

"Buying fish sauce?" Mia watched me from top to bottom.

I replied with a smile until I showed my teeth.

"But why is your appearance so neat, you want to buy fish sauce where?" He began to suspect.

I kept quiet while looking down at me.

Damnit. Why is he so sensitive, how about again I get caught if I want to find a job.

"Sada, don't tell me you want to.."

"Neechan, your face is pale!" I cut his words.

"What?" He's got his face.

"Yes my. You're like an undead!" I tried my best to keep him from talking about me.

"Huh, really!?" He's hooked.

"Hurry in. It's cold in here, are you gonna worry me again if you suddenly pin-insan!" I hurriedly pushed him into the house.

"But what about you, why do you look suspicious..."

Draakk...

The door closed, and I went to look for hope.

***********

"Sorry son, but here we don't need any additional employees. Goods next door is looking for a new employee!!" The worm shop rejected me subtly.

"Do you have any work experience. If you don't have one, you're not welcome in this place. Because we only need someone who has at least 7 years of work experience!" The garment factory rejected me on the grounds of inexperience.

"Hmmm.. Can you drive?" What do I think, why do I propose to be a taxi driver when I can't drive.

"You're welcome in this place if you can tame that ostrich. We kindly tell you to tame this animal, because we usually tell the new kid to tame the sun bear as a basic test!" I came home, because just entered the cage the ostriches wanted to devour me.

"sorry. But we only need male employees!!" The building's cool foreman rejected me because I'm a woman.

"Who was your name. Did you talk to me!?" It was a stupid choice when I applied for a job at a senile grandfather's grocery store that didn't even remember who the employees were.

"Sorry son. But this place is closed because it's broke!!" The dining room I went to turned out to be out of business. Too bad, it was not just me who was in trouble.

"What do you see, huh. Want to die, who do you think you are. Why do you look at me like that, want me to chop up your body!!" Who wants to work in a toxic lair of thugs who uphold seniority, I leave immediately even though I don't know what to do.

"Ahhh.fresh!" I downed a can of soda while fanning myself on a park bench.

It's been over half a day, and I still don't get any work. Though I tried as much as I could, but it turned out that finding a job was difficult, let alone one that was truly in accordance with the abilities I had.

"Sucks. Why I still don't get a decent job. Is this a curse.."

Sraaakk...

Suddenly a piece of paper floated across my face.

"Loh.what is this?"

It turned out that the paper was a leaflet containing a job vacancy that somehow happened to hit me like fate.

It says, it takes a young woman, beautiful, attractive appearance, BH size above 23, old enough, no work experience is not the most important thing is good at flirting. The salary offered is quite large, and this work is only done in one time.

Of course, this job is intended to look for solo commercial s*k* workers who have no shade like a big entertainment place. From the conditions he meant, it was already leading to prostitution.

"Where might I be interested in a job like this!" I said as I squeezed the leaflet.

But my focus stopped when I saw the final announcement at the end of the paper. It is written there if the above conditions are just a mere formality, but the work does not lead directly to prostitution.

His words seemed convoluted, but from what I caught the intent of the announcement was If they were looking for someone to do a mission. About like that the specific explanation.

I threw away the leaflet because I felt I didn't need it, after all Shin and Mia would go berserk if they knew I was working for that kind of thing.

But on the way, I suddenly stopped. And looked back towards the trash can where I threw out the leaflet.

"Huuffft. What am I thinking!" I muttered and left.

But a minute later, I came back and took the leaflet home.

**************

"Niichan, please take care of the house for a moment!" I said while cleaning up.

Shin stopped watching TV and watched me until I was in front of the house.

"Hey. Where you going. It's not like you've been a little weird lately because you've always been outside!" Shin introgasi.

"I have business!" I replied briefly while putting on shoes.

"Suspicious, it's not that you've hated going out because it's rainy season!"

"Don't worry, I also have other activities besides taking care of the house!" Reply ignored.

"Hey Sada, I'm like this because I'm worried about you, what if something goes wrong like that day!" Shin remained chatty.

"That's because I'm with you. They're after you instead of me!!"

"But still you're in danger!" He didn't stop.

"That's it. I'm going first. Don't forget to take your medicine and take care of Mia's food!!" I left him.

"Basic shit, I haven't finished talking. Sada!!" He speaks for himself.

I walked along a row of restaurants in the city center. Then my focus stopped when I saw a French food house.

"It's right here!" I muttered while looking at the message on my phone.

I took a breath, clasped my phone tightly, and walked into the place. I can't be daunted, I made a promise to myself to protect my brothers. I can't back off anymore.
