Mary's Dilemma CHAPTER 13
As I woke up in the morning the first thing I did was to write my one week leave letter from work. I planned on how to tender it to my manager. I just pray she accepts it. I said to myself. I took my bath and set off early to work as usual. It was a cool bright day, simply because of the rain that fell yesterday. The earthy smell of rain that hit the ground was good. I better be given this leave, I said to myself checking the letter I was given. When the receptionist manager came to work the look on her face was not good. I am sure she will make us have a bad day, I said to myself. Good morning ma, I greeted her. Morning she replied. Turning to me, and you Mary, why were you not at work yesterday. Huh, I cleared my throat. I was not feeling too well, so I went to the hospital. Hmm! You ‘ve thought of another lie to cook right?. No,ma, I am telling the truth, I was sick yesterday. Hahaha, she laughed. What's funny I said to myself in my mind. You are at the verge of losing your job
Mary's Dilemma CHAPTER 1
Endrick and I have been friends since my college days. But as the case may be, we met strangely. I was looking for a job when I went inside the company. As I entered, the rays of light went into my eyes. Hence, I put my face up, and I saw a man standing next to me. I felt a flush hit my cheeks. Yes, sorryI said dumbly, actually not knowing that I had stepped on his foot because he was standing very close to me. He nodded, flashing me a warm smile. I took a deep breath and resisted the urge to turn around. I had the urge in my thoughts to tell me to speak to him. I pulled back, wondering if I could recognize the face I was seeing. I have probably met the particular physical being I'm seeing right now. Carefully, remembering that drilled into my head, even trying to recall all past events that had happened in my life. Nearly anxious, I turned to the right, and rapidly I opened my mouth.” “Do I know you before”I said. He was surprised by the question I asked. He kept quiet, and
Mary's Dilemma CHAPTER 2
I was short of words as Endrick led me out. I was so emotionally involved, that this was all a horrible idea. But I have never had the choice to make yet. Endrick closed the door behind me, and he was about to follow me to the interview room. Suddenly, I said to him, stop. I will handle the rest of myself. Okay, just let me know when you are done, he replied. I gave him a pretty smile. Best of luck, he replied. The anxiousness I had before had left me. I sat down, meeting all the other applicants in the interview room. The thought of what Endrick would do to get me this job started. I never knew how it was going to work out. My hopes were lower than expected. My feelings about the job interview became negative. Several thoughts ran through my mind. What if I was not given this job? What if my qualifications are not up to the requirements? Being a receptionist adequately needs some effort. This thought scaled through my mind. Suddenly, a voice from the speaker hanging above c
Mary's Dilemma CHAPTER 3
Yes, I replied.What about your parents? He said.They are fine. I replied.Endrick also asked if I was living alone or with my parents and I replied no. I had just moved out just recently to find greener pastures and make a living, so I am currently alone. Oh!Sorry about that, he commented. It is nothing. I replied. I asked him about his marital status also, and he responded by saying he was single at the moment. Looks like we had got no partner I thought. After all the chatting, we left and he decided to drop me at my house, but I declined. He persuaded me, but I later accepted his request. He asked for my number, which I gave him. I also asked for his own and he did not hesitate to give me it. I bid him goodbye as he set off in his car. It looked like the relationship between me and Endrick had started clicking again. Who knows what our fate could be, I silently said to myself as I smiled. The next day, I woke up just to see that I missed Endrick's call on my phone. I was
Mary's Dilemma CHAPTER 4
It got to the extent that I became too curious, wondering what could have happened to him or in what situation Endrick was present. I was not in my right mind because I couldn't get through to Endrick. Was it because I love him? I asked myself. Looks like love has eventually blinded my eyes for me to forget all the painful situations I have been through during my first relationship with Endrick. Well, it looks like the saying that love is blind is true. I smiled to myself but was still curious about Endrick's whereabouts. In this life, most people always wish for others' conditions but never think about how the person lives his life. That is the case for Endrick. This made me remember when I was in college. A lot of people were jealous of the Endrick family.They always wish they were the one in that wealthy family, but only if they thought about the challenges and the pressure faced by the person they are jealous of, they would not think of that. In particular, I was also part

Hi Endrick, the lady said.Hey, Juliet, what's up, how are you doing? Endrick replied as she put her hand around Endrick's neck and gave him a peck on his chick.My mood changed instantly, as I began to wonder, someone who just defended me, not long ago that I was over the moon, is now with another lady.Juliet and Endrick continued their discussion as they entered his office.I asked one of my colleagues Juliet Endrick and she said that is his girlfriend because she comes looking for him every time.I was shocked to hear and imagine what she just said, but I tried as much as possible to hide my facial expressions from being known to my coworkers. As I continue doing my job I begin to wonder what just happened before me and after what I just heard.It was as if my heart had been broken like a crate of eggs carried with levity hands.I wondered if what Endrick said was true when I asked him about his relationship status and he said he was still single at the moment, the joy that happ

I woke up early in the morning and made my way to work, with the plan to visit my dad later in the day. I was feeling uncertain about the decisions I needed to make, but I was trying to stay positive and hopeful for the best outcome.Upon arriving at the company, I unexpectedly ran into Endrick near the company gate. I was surprised to see him there so early and asked what he was doing. He explained that he had stayed overnight at the office to finish some work.I then asked if he had eaten anything the previous night, and he replied that he hadn't. I felt sorry for him and offered to share some of the food I had brought with me. He agreed, and I could tell that he appreciated the gesture. I remarked that I had always wondered what his cooking was like and jokingly commented that it must be as delicious as his good-looking face, which made us both laugh.I then suggested that we go inside before anyone else arrived, as I didn't want to deal with any negative comments from our colleagu
Mary's Dilemma CHAPTER 7
I was completely shocked when I received the devastating news about my dad's health. My heart sank as I was informed that his condition had worsened, and I was overcome with a mix of numbness and exhaustion. My sister explained that my father was suffering from a severe kidney problem and urgently needed a kidney transplant, but was currently relying on dialysis. I couldn't help but question why this was happening and felt a sense of panic and helplessness. I immediately left work and rushed to the hospital to be with my family. When I arrived, the sight of my mom and sister, both physically and emotionally drained, left me feeling even more distressed. Seeing them in such a state, I couldn't hold back my tears – I felt lost and completely unsure of what to do. I visited the doctor to discuss my father's health. The doctor informed me that my dad urgently needs a kidney transplant in order to survive. The doctor also mentioned the staggering cost of his weekly dialysis treatment - a
