Driven Out From The House

*Past*

Margaret

I attended the interview, the maid that looks a bit old carried on with the discussion on behalf of the couple; she liked me and told me the do's and don't.

She showed me around when I am to prepare dinner and breakfast using the timetable cause most time, they eat out or order food.

She told me about the minor child, and I should take care of him constantly.

"The child is selective as well, so he might dislike you but just pray he likes you; if he does, then you have no problem," she said.

"I hope he truly likes me."

" You must be careful around the boss, mostly when his wife travels out of the country with or without her son; he like preying on ladies, okay, or you might end up losing your job."

"I understand, ma."

" You are hired, go over there and get your maid uniform and start with the cleaning and mind you, you might be asked to sleep over sometimes, so always be prepared when you down putting on your uniform, I will be waiting here for you, so I show you to your room."

"Oh, mine, am going to have a room; thank you so much, ma".

I would have loved to be staying here for good, but I need to do other daily jobs whenever I am off duty to save lots of money.

I put on the uniform, and I looked so beautiful on it even though it's a maid uniform; she showed me the room, " Wow, this is big, are you sure this is a maid room? I want to jump on the bed, do things. Still, I can't because of the old lady; she will think I am local. I just complimented the room," I started my work Instantly so I can get home on time.

I got busy in the kitchen when a handsome young man got in; he stares at me and asks if I could am new; I replied saying, "Yes, sir."

"Oh, the new maid, guess you are lucky to work in my household."

"Shit his the boss; he looks so young and cute; if not that he's married, I would have started a relationship, but he's married." I had to let go of my thoughts.

He winked at me and left.

Jason

I went out for a business meeting at the office; it has been stressful for me this period, signing a different contract, and most companies wish to see me.

I got home and was damn starving; I refuse to order food since my wife is home today; I will eat her food today, guess what? I got home seeing her with her phone chatting.

"What?"

"Is she chatting with a dude? "

She welcomes me, "Honey, welcome home; how did each meeting go? By the way, I hope it wasn't stressful."

"Not at all, just hungry; I hope you prepared something delicious".

" Oh, I thought you would order food."

"What do you mean by I thought, for God sake, you have been home all day, are you not supposed to prepare food for your husband, did you not promise to prepare food for me" I reminded her what she told me earlier before I went to work.

" Oh, I am sorry, dear, I forgot; I got carried away with my chats, I am sorry, but you can just order or inform the new maid to prepare your food."

She continued chatting and laughing; I got so angry and took her phone from her and smatched it on the floor. "I am your husband; show some respect, I am talking to you, and you are chatting with a dude."

" Are you insane? Do you know the worth of the phone you just smatched on the floor?"

"I know the worth, and I can give you a truck of the phone in a second. Have you lost your senses, Susan telling me to get food outside? What happened to you and you sat comfortably chatting with a dude."

" Jason, you are mad, accusing me of cheating."

"Who says you are cheating."

" You that is a flirt and womaniser, you think I don't know right, because I am keeping quiet."

Margaret

The fight between the couples got severe to the extent it affected their child Oliver, and I had to meet him, took him out from the place so he would not hear a thing.

" Dad and mom are fighting," he cries, "Oh no, they are not, just a little misunderstanding, okay, once you are old enough, you will understand" I tried to make him so happy that he forgot his parents were fighting.

Jason, my boss, entered his car with anger and drove off. Then, my other boss, Susan, called Oliver in and went inside, looking very angry.

What could be causing their fight today? They are rich and very okay but yet they end up fighting; I don't want this kind of marriage.

I got to the house after work; this is my fourth month working as a maid, so I have been saving my salary in a box at home; I decided to check out the savings today when I noticed it's broken and my hard damn sweat is gone, " This is the work of my aunt." I knew it's her.

I politely confronted her but Instead of her giving me a simple answer; she bounced on me, " You little brat, I took care of you, make sure you have a place to sleep, you dare call me a thief, I took the money what are you going to do, report me to the police, I am tired of you in this house."

I started crying, she thrown me and my things out of the house, " I don't ever want to see you in my house anymore; you belong to the street."

I begged her so much that I don't have a place to go,o but she pushed me Instead and called me a cursed child; she told me I killed my parents, that I am not worthy of living, that I should be dead. The words hit my heart that I got broken and weak, the rain started, I cried seriously in pains, she made me remember the death of my parents, now I am homeless, now I don't have any savings, the money with me is just the one I got paid today.

"Am I cursed? Tears filled my eyes, but the rain washed them off?"

It seems a lot is revealing already about the past
