The Quintuplets

Four years later.

“Hahh… still no job interview either,” Lunatte sighed. The sky is already dark. It’s too late. Until now, she is still trying to send her CV directly to several companies. But still haven’t received a call to work. It made her very frustrated. She had applied online, but the result was the same.

Lunatte rubbed her face roughly. She’s on the train now. Cannot use a taxi because there is only a little money left. “What should I do? My money is running low. But no company wants to take me to work. Huh, that’s okay. I can try again tomorrow! Yash!” It did not discourage Lunatte. Several people glared at her. There were two people Lunatte knew. Whispered about her. Faintly, Lunatte could hear their conversation.

“Look at that slut. She was desperately looking for a job. In fact, she used to sell herself. Until she has the quintuplets. Disgusting!”

Then, the other lady said, “You are right. She had no pride already. Why is she still shy about admitting it? Selling bodies is no longer a taboo subject for her though.”

Lunatte clenched her fists. She let go of her grip and approached the two neighbors. She wouldn’t let anyone put her down like that. She is known as a notorious woman in the city because she does not hesitate to get back at those who are mean to her.

“Say it one more time!” said Lunatte angrily. She glared at the two women who have filthy mouths and talked about her shamelessly. But the two women immediately averted their eyes. Seemed scared to see Lunatte, who didn’t hesitate to face them. Lunatte snorted.

“Two women really don’t know about respectful attitude. You guys are not pretty. And so your hearts either. Calling me a slut. Have filthy mouths on me even though you don’t know exactly what really happened. So embarrassing!” Lunatte replied. Her face looked fierce looking at the two women earlier so that the two women did not dare to fight Lunatte.

‘You evil humans! Humiliate me like that! They think that my mental will break down! No way! It doesn’t work for me at all! I will fight all of you who are mean to me!’

Finally Lunatte arrived at home. She even had to walk far from the train station to save costs.

Creak.

“Hahh…” Her body ached.

“MOMMY!” But her tired expression turned into a smile when she saw her quintuplets baby girls running towards her and hugging her legs.

“MOMMY, WE MISS YOU!” said all of them in unison.

Lunatte crouched down, then hugged her quintuplets. Then, her mother came along.

“Mia.”

Lunatte turned her attention to her mother at the mention of that name. She had an uneasy feeling when she saw her mother’s expression. And sure enough, the next words her mother said made the listless Lunatte even more listless.

Her mother folded her arms across her chest. Staring at Lunatte with her protesting gaze. “I saw Mia’s post. She looks so happy. Take pictures while showing off luxury items. Sit on Bugatti. Just try to be like her, Lunatte. Smart looking for a rich man. Now she lives happily. No need to work hard. And our life will not be lacking like this,” complained her mother. Lunatte could only surrender. Her mother’s mouth is sometimes very spicy. But her heart is very soft. The proof is, even though her mother often complains like this, her mother still loves her and helps her to care for her five children.

After the tragic night back then. Lunatte was reportedly pregnant. Lunatte kept the baby with her. When Lunatte found out that she was carrying five fetuses in her belly, she was very shocked. Never thought that she would have five twins. But Lunatte remained stubborn with her decision. According to her, the five babies had the right to live.

Lunatte left her former apartment and returned to her mother’s house. She is helping raise her quintuplets with the help of her kind-hearted mother and best friend, who never gives up on her.

Because she gave birth to five children without the presence of a father figure. Lunatte often gets bad words from people. Even her neighbors often backbite Lunatte. Not much different from the two women who gossip about her on the train.

The quintuplets who saw their mother look sad immediately tried to cheer her up. “What is there to be jealous of, Grandma? The woman named Mia relies on other people for her life. In contrast to Mommy, who uses her own accomplices for our lives. Obviously, Mommy is more powerful. Aunt Mia is nothing compared to Mommy, Grandma,” said Adeline. Lunatte’s first daughter with her serious face. She tried to comfort her Mommy and her grandma with her wise words. Lunatte’s five daughters often act and speak like adults. They are very genius. Lunatte’s way of upbringing them, and a life full of obstacles, make them precocious.

Hearing that, Lunatte and her mother felt deeply moved. Both smiled. “You are indeed the most beautiful gift that Mommy has ever had. Mommy is so happy to have you.”

“Don’t be sad anymore, Mommy! We will all always be there for Mommy!” Who is not happy to hear that?

“Thank you, babies. Now, hug mommy and grandma. We need love to strengthen!” Lunatte looked at her children with narrowed eyes lovingly. The quintuplets are so excited and then hug their mother and grandma.

“Aren’t they so handsome, Lunatte?”

Lunatte, who was playing with the quintuplets, turned her gaze to the TV, which was broadcasting news about the return of the noble sons of the four major families.

“They are rich and handsome. Full of charisma. Do you think you have a chance with them, Lunatte?” asked her mother again. The mother seemed very excited to discuss the topic. Lunatte just snorted while shaking her head. Her mother’s words sounded like a joke to her ears.

“A woman like me, mother? There’s no way either of them would be interested in me.” Lunatte really didn’t understand her mother’s way of thinking.

“So what? You are beautiful. Clever. Hard-working woman. At least one of them must like you. I’m sure,” said the mother.

Again, Lunatte laughed while shaking her head. “Not interested. Rich men like them must be spoiled. They use the family money to stay in luxury. Not my type at all,” said Lunatte indifferently.

“Mommy, isn’t the man with the cream-colored trench-coat looking the same as some of us? Look, his face looks similar to ours,” said one of the baby girls who received nods from several other children.

“Hmm?” Lunatte frowned.

“A man with cream color trench coat?” Lunatte immediately looked at the man her daughter meant on the television screen and she just laughed a little.

Meanwhile, elsewhere.

Mia is relaxing in Mr. Russell Houston’s luxurious mansion.

“Huh…. It’s so nice to enjoy a luxurious and elegant life like this. I am free to spend money, and get ministry without having to work.” Mia smiled happily.

Her face looked up. She was soaking in the jacuzzi while enjoying the wine she specially ordered from the best wine-producing city.

“Lunatte. Ah, how unfortunate your fate is . Last time I heard you got a lot of abuse from society for giving birth to quintuplets without a father present. Embarrassing. Your life must be very miserable right now. Very nice! I love to know you are suffering! It’s so satisfying! Look at me now, Lunatte. My fate is inversely proportional to yours. Thanks too for being an idiot. If you didn’t give me that watch, maybe now I would still live in poverty! Hahahahahaha!” Mia laughed so contentedly.
