Chapter 4

I THOUGHT that someone's just making fun of me.

Yesterday I received another box, it's when I'm watering the plant in front of my apartment. There's many pictures inside... And I'm afraid.

Why would someone make fun of me by sending me those things?

It's kinda frustrating because I don't even know if the sender is a girl or man. If it's old or just my age. It's fucking stressful.

I messed my hair and release a sigh. Mountain of folders is in front of me, and that's because of Monica.

Sometimes I think of resigning but when I thought about my goal to save a lot of money for my future, it burns something from me, the fire envelop my whole being and it will give me a new patience to go on with my life and be human, even when I'm receiving an animal treatment.

They're chilling while I'm the one suffering because of their works. I can't do anything to complain, I'm afraid to get kick out off this company.

This company is the only one who hired me despite of my appearance… but I didn't know that I'm the one who'll do the works of this whole department.

As I start to work my ass, chit chat is everywhere… gossiping about the upcoming anniversary of the company. Many business man would be present, and that's the reason why they're so loud. Too excited.

I'm thinking to not to go though it's still an experience...

No one want to See Me, so it's better to not show up. They will not notice my absence so it's alright.

Almost one when I finish all the paper works! Damn my whole body hurts! I'm starving to death too. How I wish that I have friend that will be furious if I skip the meal. Oh right, I'm indeed hungry.

As I began to eat, memories of what happened yesterday linger in my head. I hope to see him again.

Oh no, what's happening Milda? You shouldn't think of someone, especially a man, he will not notice you even if you give your full attention to him.

And it's a bit disturbing, why would he lick the sauce off his finger when he doesn't even know me?

When I finish eating. I hurriedly came back to my table because something happened!

Someone told me that there's a big box above my table. They said that they didn't see who put the box there.

They even think that I got kick out from my apartment. Silly witch. I am saving a money to pay for my bills and my apartment's expense was part of it.

As I came, it's really a box but not big, they're just exaggerating. But compare to the box that I received in my apartment, it's pretty huge...

Suddenly my heart began to pound so fast and my hands become sweaty! I slowly open the box and got shock what's inside.

It's a black shiny cloth...

When I pick it up, it show that it's a long black dress! Its design was simple yet elegant! It's a deep neck and have a knee slit length. The back part was all covered but the chest part... Man I would bet my job that it'll show the cleavage.

I heard my workmates said wow, but Monica's the one who voice out her thoughts.

"Are you sure that, that's for Grandma Milda?" She said sarcastically.

The whole department become loud because of their chitchat.

"Yeah. It's kinda showy and... Oh my god! That's a biggie brand!"

They snatch the dress from me and confirmed their speculation.

My heart ache... Maybe... It's really odd to see me receiving some gift.

I was about to throw the box when I saw something. There's a letter inside.

I pick it up and open.

'Wear that dress for me. I'm watching you baby...'

I accidentally cramped the paper. I sat at the chair, feeling drain.

Now, I'm sure that someone's making fun of me... But I'm feeling odd.

I don't want to think that I have astalker so, just making fun of me is enough.

I scanned the whole room. Everyone's busy, suddenly, my eyes landed on the door.

I saw a man wearing a black hoodie. It covers its whole face aside from its lips that suddenly curve up.

I was about to run over him when he ran when I imagine someone with that smirk...

It couldn't be...

He could be, and he don't seem like someone who will give some attention to the likes of me.

The passing hours was very slow for me, I want go home and comfort my self with my blanket and pillow. I want to cry because why do I need to experience this? Don't I deserve to be at peace and just dive to my goal?

My mind was now again occupied, I can't concentrate but I did tried my best to finish my work effectively.

I am more stronger than this. You're strong Milda, you can get through this!
