ELEVEN

Kamilla Lopez

It’s been a month after what happened, I was already running my life looking for a job, but every time I was hard to get. For a month I tried in every way, Carolina realized that I was worried, she often tried to reassure me, saying that there was need for so much worry and that his retirement would sustain us without any problem, but I can not take advantage of it, I can’t let her handle the expenses herself.

Sitting on the bed, browsing the site looking for a job ad, everyone who had available needed experiences in areas that I never exercised, had only completed high school, did not have the opportunity to enter a college, My only choice after leaving the orphanage was to work in my now old job that was Carolina who helped me. I hear a knock on the door, see her pass with a glass of milk and a box of cookies in her hands, she approaches me and sits on the edge of the bed.

— Are you busy?

— No... — I pushed the notebook away. — Need something?

— Not my dear, I came to bring you this, I realized that you did not have lunch today. — she hands me the glass of milk and the box of biscuit.

I took the glass of milk and drank everything, she looked at me tenderly and ran her hand in my hair, I realized that she was worried about me.

— Thank you. — thank you.

— Do you want to go out tonight with Bianca?

— No... I can’t spend my savings, I’m unemployed.

— My girl, to leave is not necessary that you spend money, breathing fresh air will do well at this moment, so worrying about you.

After those words she left me alone, I started eating, and then I went back to browsing the job site. I decided to follow his advice, went out for a while, went to a park near our house, lay on a bench and watched the starry sky, contemplated that natural beauty, the night was cold and the air totally pure for me, took a deep breath and released the air from my lungs, I stayed for endless minutes in that place, when I realized it was getting late I returned home.

Back in the room, I took a brief shower and put on a sweater, I was sitting on the bed surfing the Internet again, it was 10 pm and Carolina had already retired. I was sleepless, thoughtful and worried, so to clear my mind, I decided to call Bianca.

— Who is alive always appears...

— I’m sorry I didn’t call earlier, I’ve been very thoughtful these past few weeks.

— Don’t worry, but tell me, how are you?

— I’m fine, and you?

We were talking about the call until late in the morning, she told me about what she did and who she was with, I just talked about the obsessive madness that I’m finding a new job, I accepted a gossip site, so you could talk about, while scrolling down the screen, I was surprised to hear about Nick Ross.

"Billionaire businessman Nick Ross bought his newest toy this morning."

( ... )

I admired the photo where it did not show him clearly getting into his car.

— I think he’s very petty.

— I find him a cat, even the womb to conceive a child of his.

I zoomed in trying to see him better, but it was impossible.

— He has a bad face. — I said.

— You’re zooming in, right?

— Me? No… — I stutter.

— IH! She got nervous.

— Fuck you, Bianca.

— Stay calm, my baby boo, he won’t know that.

At that time, I received a notification from the job site, quickly pressed the note and opened, it was a job vacancy to be a nanny for a child, it did not take me to fill out and send the small resume.

— Earth calling baby boo… — I hear Bianca’s voice.

— I’m sorry, I just saw a notification from the job site and I just submitted my resume.

— Ah! Yes. I hope you can.

— God hear you.

At that very moment I received the reply of the e— mail that had sent the resume, my heart missed a beat while I opened the e— mailbox, I began to quickly read the message and opened a huge smile of happiness, I had been hired! A loud and shrill cry escapes from my lips, seconds after Dona Carolina appears at the door of my room with her baseball bat and her hair raised, as soon as I turned to her, my cry of happiness was replaced by the cry of despair and dread, she also screamed, Bianca without understanding anything also screamed on the line.

— What happened? You broke into the house?

— No! — I catch my breath. — I got a job!

Dona Carolina gave a shout of happiness and approached me.

— What a good girl, I’m happy for you.

— Thank you.

— Hello, is there anyone alive, or should I send the police?

I undid the hug I gave Dona Carolina and suspended the phone.

— I got a job.

— Wow Kami! That’s great, congratulations!

— Thanks, I’ll work as a nanny.

Dona Carolina returned to her room and stayed in the connection with Bianca, she was silent after I revealed what I would work on.

— Bianca?

— The friend... I feel sorry for you.

— Don’t be exaggerated, it’s just a child.

— You only need one to set the world on fire.

— Watch your words, you’ll still be a mother.

— Even if I walk through the valley of shadows...

She smiles openly for the value that Bianca has of someday being a mother.

— I’ll hang up, we’ll talk tomorrow?

— Leave it, baby boo.

I closed the call and returned my attention to the e— mail message, I began to read carefully, asked that even tomorrow began the first day of work, below came the address and a note saying that a driver would take me and bring every day, at least I won’t have to take any buses.

Tomorrow begins a new stage in my life.
