Unwanted Desires

How many changes can occur in your life within the time span of 4 months?

How many times do you need to cry to numb yourself and to not feel the tiredness and pain?

How long does it take before all the suffering comes to an end?

It was an everyday question for her. When everything changed, she had been wondering how many more days or weeks she would have to endure alone. Sometimes, she wanted to run and escape everything but of course, she won’t do that. Everything might change but Alexandra will keep on fighting and promise to not give up.

It was 10:15 in the morning but she was already sweating and tired. But Alexandra's natural beauty shone through. Anyone who saw her in any scenario couldn't dispute that she was stunning.

“Alex, room 417 is asking for a room cleaner,” one of her coworkers reminded her. She nodded her head and smiled.

She was currently cleaning on one of the biggest rooms on the 3rd floor. It was a man who stayed in the room for 2 days so there were only a few messes. But Alexandra still needs to clean the room to assure that all the rooms are clean and their service was good.

It was almost lunchtime when she finished cleaning the rooms on the 3rd floor that was assigned to her. She plans on cleaning 3 more rooms before taking her lunch break.

She was pushing the cart with all the cleaning materials when a mosquito bit her in her arms that shocked her. Unfortunately, she lost her focus that she bumped into someone.

Some of the liquid detergents spilled into the woman’s dress. Both of them was shocked.

“Fuck,” she heard the woman curse.

Alexandra bowed her head, “I’m so sorry ma’am."

She bowed many times, hoping that the woman would forgive her. But of course, no wealthy person will let someone like her to go away with this kind of stupidity and mistakes.

Of course, she knew, she was once like them and the memories made her want to cry.

“What kind of stupidity is that?! Can you fucking use your eyes and look where you are going?!” the woman shouted while Alexandra chose to remain silent.

“Where is your manager? Why are you letting idiots work here?! Gosh, my outfit is ruined!”

“M-ma’am, I’m sorry. I'll take care of it. Please, don't let my management know about this. Please ma’am,” Alexandra pleaded and couldn’t help but to go near the woman and touch its hands.

“Don’t fucking touch me, you, stupid trash! Argh, iw!” the woman pushed her, causing her to fall down. Alexandra immediately stood up and plead again but the woman kept on screaming. They start to get attention. Alexandra was also nervous because it might even reach their management.

The woman was still shouting when the assistant manager approached them.

"Ma'am, what happened?" the assistant manager asked the woman Alexandra bumped into before taking a glance at her and looking at her.

“That fucking stupid bitch,” the woman pointed towards Alexandra’s direction, “bumped into me! My outfit is now ruined, do you know how much it costs? Argh, what a big stupid! She’s going to push the cart and used her eyes, still she managed to cause this mess!” the woman replied to the assistant manager while looking at her.

“On behalf of our workers, I am the one who apologizes. Our manager is requesting you to go to her office to discuss the damages,” the manager bowed her head to the woman. The woman that Alexandra bumped into rolled her eyes before marching up to the elevator.

The assistant manager looked at Alexandra.

She remained silent while bowing her head.

“Next time, be careful. Not because you're related to the owner means you are allowed to spread your shitty attitude here. You are causing so much trouble. What a brat,” The assistant manager spitted out while raising her eyebrow. Alexandra wanted to speak back and defend herself but she remained silent. She doesn’t have the rights because she was a simple hotel stewardess and fighting back won’t give her any good.

One of Alexandra’s co-workers, Mika, approached her, “Are you okay? You can take a rest for a while, I’ll take care of the assigned room to you,” Mika said with a concerned voice. Alexandra appreciated it but she smiled before shaking her head.

“No need to worry, I’m fine. I can handle this, thank you,” Alexandra answered with a smile. Everyone who had a chance to see her knows that it is a fake smile. Mika hugged her assured her that she can always come and talk to her.

“If you need someone, come and find me, okay? Don’t forget to eat your lunch. Please, take care of yourself,” Mika's last words before proceeding to the next room.
