Chapter 38: Chapter 38
After coming back home, Rebecca arranged her certificates and thought about her next step: The job.
She wanted to find a decent job. Yes, it's her dream from before but now it's become important to have one as soon as possible because she's pregnant.
In her heavy pregnancy, she can't continue her work until her delivery. So, she needs to save up from now on to pay medical-care fees and other things. There are so many things on the list which she needs to take care of.
Before the baby comes out she needs to find a house also and arrange everything.
Thinking about all this gives her headaches. She thought to rest first and at night when her friend came home she would ask her to make a C.V for her.
"Rebecca, this chicken soup is delicious!" Julia finished her last bite with a satisfied expression on her face.
"That's good! You liked it!" Rebecca chuckled.
"Rebecca from now on don't do heavy work. I can do that by myself! You just take care of your baby!" Julia looked at her with sisterly love.
Rebecca flashed a smile to see her friend's generosity.
"Thank you Julia for thinking this deeply for me but I can't stay at your home like this forever!" Rebecca tried to explain to her with a soft tone.
Julia understood her words but felt angry.
"Rebecca, I know you want to leave this home but I can't be allowed to do that when I know you are pregnant and there is no one besides me who can take care of you and your child in pregnancy time!" Julia looked at her with a serious stare.
Rebecca knows that but she can't be selfish. Julia already helped her more than she thought and now this surprise pregnancy, how can she take advantage of her kindness just like that every time because of her own struggle.
She felt embarrassed.
"Julia, I know you wanted to help me but I don't want to be a responsibility on you anymore! You know I'm pregnant. It's a big obligation for me! I can not take your help always like this! I need to make my own way! I need to stand on my feet. So, one day I can be proud of myself!" Rebecca explained to her.
Julia sighed to hear her words.
"Rebecca, why can't you just stay here?" Julia looked at her with a confused stare.
"It's not like I can't stay here Julia! But I just want my own home so, when my baby comes into this world, his first step is just lifted to come to his own home! I wanted to settle down before my heavy pregnancy! I hope now you can understand!" Rebecca tried to put her thoughts in front of her.
Julia now completely understood her words and nodded.
"Alright! If this is what you want!"
"But I have two conditions!" Julia's eyes speak of 'Seriousness'.
Rebecca sighed to hear her words.
"Again conditions!" She felt her friend liked to put conditions every time.
"Yes!" Julia didn't flinch to see her expression.
Rebecca shook her head with helplessness.
"Tell me the conditions!" She asked.
Julia nodded.
"My conditions are: First, the home should be chosen by me, and Second, it should be closer to my home!" Julia speaks out with seriousness.
Rebecca didn't feel anything wrong with those conditions. Actually, it's good for her also. In a heavy pregnancy, she would need Julia beside her anytime and she knows Julia also makes this condition only thinking about her.
"Alright! I have no issues!" She replied with a warm smile.
Julia also smiled finally.
After doing a home conversation now She asked Julia to make a perfect C.V for her. So, She can apply for a job.
She wanted to start finding a job as soon as possible.
"But why do you need to do the job?" Julia shouted.
"I can help you until your delivery and you can pay me back later!" Julia doesn't want her money back but she knew Rebecca never agreed to get free things.
Rebecca shook her head while sighing.
"I know you are going to tell me that but I just want to work! It's what I've always wished for! So, I do not want you to argue about this! Just help me to give some job website knowledge! So, I can apply there as soon as possible! Do you understand?" Rebecca looks at her with seriousness while her voice is relaxed.
Julia sighed to see how stubborn her friend is!
"Alright, no worries! I'll make a perfect C.V for you!" Julia agreed.
At midnight Julia made a C.V for Rebecca while she felt finally happy to see her C.V.
"It's great!" Rebecca chuckled while she handheld her C.V.
Julia yawned with tiredness and looked at her silly friend who was just smiling non-stop to see the C.V.
"I never knew that this single paper made you this happy!" Julia said with a teasing tone.
Rebecca looked at her while laughing to hear her words.
"I also never knew!" She responded.
"Alright, then Good night! Now I'm feeling sleepy. Let's search for a job tomorrow!" Julia yawned and stood up to go to her room.
"Okay! Good night!" Rebecca smiled and nodded.
After Julia left, Rebecca went to the bathroom and changed her dress into a nightgown.
While sleeping on the bed, She starts looking at the ring which was hidden inside the chain lying on her neck.
"Could I meet you again?" She whispered in a heavy tone while tears rolled down from both eyes.
She felt silly to think something like that. He is the one who is responsible for her today's condition but still, she couldn't find herself to hate him. All she felt was anger!
Anger that he dumb her after using her for his own benefit. Anger that he didn't even care to apologize to her and be responsible for her.
That man helped her in her critical situation but that same man gave her the most unbearable experience.
