CAN'T I HAVE PEACE IN MY LIFE

Dina and Andres spent the whole night celebrating their new wealth, they were so happy because with such an amount in their hands they would be able to clear a lot of things out. Andres was thinking of buying a bigger workshop and even producing some technical appliances on his own, while Dina had plans of donating to the orphanage.  

“First thing tomorrow morning, I’ll pay that good for nothing Dan his house rent,” Andres said a little bit drunk from all the alcohol he consumed.

“You don’t have to call him that, he has been very generous allowing us to live here without paying the house rent for 2 years” Dina was fully aware of what she was saying since she did not join her father in drinking any alcohol.

“Well … that’s true but he is still a good for nothing because he has embarrassed us a lot” He stood up with a bottle of beer in his hands but eventually fell back down on the chair when he lost his balance.

“Okay, that’s enough for tonight Father” Dina stood up from where she was sitting and then collected the bottle from his hand.

She helped her father get up and led him to his room. After leaving his room she returned to the living room to clean up. 

Dina was already done with the cleaning when she suddenly remembers something important.

“Geez… I forgot to switch on my phone back” She hit herself lightly on the head after realizing this. 

She went to unplug her phone that was being charged and switch it on.

*Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding…. *

“Can’t I have peace in my life” Dina yelled at the phone.

“How could she call me 16 times…. Geez,” She was referring to Molly who has called her number 16 times.

“4 unread messages…. Probably still her” While staring at her screen, she clicked the message icon to check the messages.

{Unknown number: Hey, it’s Jeff 0_0.}

{Unknown number: Ummm…. I guess you must be busy.}

{Unknown number: We’ll talk later then.}

{Molly: Are you home already, why aren’t you picking up your damn phone.}

“I forgot about him, why did today have to end up as this” Dina said in uttermost tiredness.

“First, let me call Molly before she gets angry with me” She went to her room and shut the door behind her.

She sat down on her bed and then dialed Molly’s number.

*Ring… Ring*

“Dina Evans, how could you” Molly yelled at Dina over the phone.

“Molly, sorry for not calling you earlier… my phone battery died” Dina explained calmly.

“You better be sorry for making me worry like that” Molly sounded more relaxed than before.

“I know, anyways I have good news” Dina spoke.

“What’s that” Molly was very excited over the phone.

“Hmm…I’ll tell you tomorrow” 

“What do you mean to tell me tomorrow, can’t you tell me now” Molly grumbled childishly over the phone.

“NO, goodnight” Dina laughed out loud after hanging up on Molly.

“Should I call him, it’s quite late already or maybe I should send him a message” She thought to herself.

{Dina: So sorry for not replying to your message early, my phone battery died. We will talk better tomorrow.}

After typing the message, she sent it to Jeff.

It was almost midnight, so she guessed that he would be asleep but she thought wrong. He replied to her message almost immediately.

{Jeff: No need to be sorry, I understand.}

{Dina: Thanks^_^}

{Jeff: Goodnight, talk to you later.}

{Dina: Goodnight.}

Dina stood up from her bed and began to undress. She needed to take a bath after all the work. She wrapped a towel around her body and went into the bathroom. She dipped her body under the shower and let the water fall on her face. It was as if the water could wash away all the sadness and tiredness at the same time. Then suddenly she thought about Luciel, the arrogant jerk who refused to lend her a helping hand and made her so furious. 

“Ugh… why am I even thinking about that man,” She said angrily while washing her body with soap.

“What a jerk… I hope I never cross paths with him ever again” She continued, still washing her body.
