Isabelle had just come down the stairs when the doorbell rang. She walked away smiling, sure that it was Andrew. But she was a little doubtful because she didn't hear the roar of a car engine that stopped in front of the house.Isabelle shook off the bad thoughts and quickly opened the door. Sure enough, there was nobody there. She frowned.Quiet.The Halloween event hasn't started yet. There was no one outside the house."Mom?"Isabelle was taken aback. She looked back and saw Emily standing behind her.“Oh, geez. You surprised me, honey. Have any of the kids played trick or treat yet?”Isabelle smiled, "Not yet.""Then why did you open the door?"“I heard bells ringing. So, I thought it was Andrew.”“Why did he come here? Did you invite him?”“No. He wanted to come here by himself.”Emily snorted in annoyance and walked towards the dining table. Seeing her daughter's expression, Isabelle felt strange."Hey, what's going on? You seem to dislike him.”Emily didn't answer. She took a gr
Isabelle came into the room smiling. She did not feel very happy with Andrew's presence today. Regardless of Emily's attitude which is quite annoying.Night's getting late. The time is already 12.04 PM. Isabelle still couldn't sleep even though she tried to sleep. Her mind drifted, thinking about many things. She didn't want to think about it, but the more she resisted, the worse and torturous thoughts drew closer. Making Isabelle cry silently.She picked up the cell phone above again. Slide the screen and look for Stephanie's contact number. She pressed the call button and heard a dial tone. Isabelle put her phone back down and thought again.'Maybe Stephanie is having fun with her friends right now. She's single, and Isabelle doesn't want to bother her. Stephanie deserves to enjoy her youth without any interference from me. Besides, I also don't want to trouble her too much.'Isabell was pensive again. Suddenly she remembered a board game her bought at the store. She quickly got off
The alarm went off at 6.00 AM. Isabelle immediately got up and opened the window blinds. Sunlight shone into the room. Making Isabell have to squint. She walked outside to Emily's room. The little girl was still fast asleep in bed. Isabelle closed the door again without intending to wake him up.Isabelle walked down the stairs and stepped into the kitchen. Get ready to prepare breakfast. She took eggs and vegetables from the refrigerator and boiled some water."Aaah!!"Just about to cut carrots, suddenly she heard Emily's scream. Without thinking, Isabelle immediately ran upstairs and approached her daughter."Emily, what's going on?" Isabelle came close and hugged him."Mom, I'm so scared!""What happened?" Isabelle looked around."Yesterday's clown, he's in the mirror.""What? Are you dreaming?""No, Mom. I see him in the mirror."Isabelle sighed. "Darling, maybe it was just a dream. The clown we saw was just a person in a Halloween costume. There's no way he's in the mirror.""But,
That evening, a young girl came to Isabelle's house and introduced herself as Anna White. Isabelle had recognized her from a photo of Mrs. Jennifer. She immediately escorted Anna to her room which was on the first floor, right next to the television room.Luckily Anna is quite good at taking the hearts of small children. So that in just an instant he could become familiar with Emily. Isabella only dedicated Anna to working as a babysitter, not to other jobs. At night, they eat dinner together.The time was 12.05 am, and Isabelle again had difficulty falling asleep. She picked up a book and read it while hoping for sleepiness to come soon. But what she thought was wrong. Almost a quarter of the book's contents had been read, instead of being sleepy, he was getting fresher. Even though tomorrow she has to work.Isabelle put the book down and turned on the television. There are no interesting broadcasts, she just watches random television shows.Meanwhile, in the bedroom, Emily is standin
I've visited several offices, hoping they'd open a job opening for me. In fact, everything is not as expected. They refused for various reasons. I wanted to give up, but that was impossible. Considering my dwindling savings. I also don't want to rely on Carlos' money. He only gave money out of pity. Totally unreliable. Besides, if it weren't for Emily, I wouldn't have taken any money from him. I stopped the car at a gas station. Refuel and stop there for a while. One what? I have visited three companies. There is one vacancy left, but this is not an office, but a factory that makes pickles. It does not matter. Like I said, if this could really provide for Emily and me, I would. I started the car again. Head to the factory. The car is moving at a moderate speed. I reached the place in the afternoon. Confidently meet the HRD of the factory.
I visited the home of an employment agency. She channeled women who wanted to work as caregivers for both the elderly and children. 'Knock Knock' A woman in a maid uniform came to open the door. "Hi, how I can help you?" "Hi. I want to meet with Mrs. Jennifer." "Have you made an appointment with him?" "Sure!" "Okay wait a minute." She closed the door and left us. Soon the woman returned. "Come in. The madam is waiting." "Alright. Thanks." She guides us to a room. "She's inside." "Thanks." 'Knock Knock' "Come in." I opened the door and entered her room. Looks like a room like a private office. I introduced myself again and explained what I meant. Mrs. Jennifer handed me a book with a list of women who had registered as caregiver
ANNA After finishing breakfast and Isabelle going to work, I cleaned the kitchen and dining table. Emily, I don't know where the kid is now. Maybe playing in her room. I washed the dishes we used for breakfast. There was the sound of Emily laughing as she ran to and fro upstairs. This is my first day working here. I have to be the best I can be. Actually, I didn't want to work as a babysitter at all. This is not what I dreamed of. But with the economic situation not getting better, I had no other choice. Having a mother who was drunk and a father who never came home, made me feel sick living in that place. I once rented an apartment and lived with Judy. We paid for it together to ease bills and rent. It didn't last long. Judy had to move to another place to continue her education. I can't afford to pay the rent myself. "Ha ha ha ha!" &
ANNA "Where am I?" she asked. The girl looked around. There is no one except her. There are only shrubs and trees. She kept looking around as she walked forward. "Hello. Anyone here?!" she shouted. But no one answered. "What the hell is this place?" She kept wondering in her heart. Guess what this place is. She saw a building in the enter of the forest. A building with faded colors. Anna walked closer. She looked at the building curiously. Thinking what stupid human would build a building in a place like this. Footsteps walked up the stairs in front of the building. Slowly but surely, she touched the handle on the double door in front of her, then pushed it gently. Dark. Drawn in the room in front of her. There was no one there but her. "Hello! Anyone here?"
