The boss

Him‼️

Me: aunt you are saying this as if you are going to
die, you will not. You are in the hospital right
now, they will take care of you.

Aunt: you can't even afford to pay this hospital.

Me: I will find a way to pay.

Aunt: your mom would be so proud of you, you know
Your mother was a good person, always
putting others first, and always forgiving.

Me: wish I could have met her aunt, by the way.
what happened at home? What caused all this.

Aunt: not now Rinah, just let it go.

I bet Emily did something to my aunt, if not directly maybe indirectly. After my aunt has fallen asleep I left her ward and walked to the coffee machine, just to be stopped midway by My very own sister Emily.

Emily: I have to tell you something.

Me: what happened now, Emily,?

Emily: the landlord is looking for money for rent

Me:( looking at my watch) at 8 am in the morning?
He is so early today. What happened?

Emily: the thing is our neighbor hasn't paid rent in 3
Months because they don't have money,
the landlord is pissed about that so he is
Collecting the money earlier so he can kick
everyone who will not settle the amount
today.

Me: okay then you stay here and watch aunt, while I
Go settle the amount , I can't afford losing the
Apartment.
*walking past Emily*

Emily: Rinah wait!

Me: ( turning around to face her) what Emily I don't
have all day, I still need to go look for money to
settle the hospital bill.

Emily:( stammering) well.. ahh .. you ..ahh

Me: say it Emily, are you nervous? What is going on
are you okay?

Emily: you should know something.

Me: am all ears.

Emily: you might want to sit for this one.

Me: I don't have time to sit Emily. Just spill already.

Emily: okay well, remember when I left aunt alone ?
I went to meet someone, ah the person I was
Meeting (clearing her thought) was Mark.

Me: so you decided to run back into the arms of
your toxic ex, regardless of what he put us
through?

Emily: that is not my point of me trying to tell you
All this.

Me: ohh we have more? Go on

Emily: I gave him the money for rent. I went into
Your purse took the $3500 that was there for
Rent and gave him.

Me: 😤 how could you do such a thing? That was the
Last money I had on me to pay of the rent,
that's why I left it in my purse, cause I didn't
Want it to be mixed with money for other bills
EMILY HOW COULD YOU? NOW BECAUSE
YOU A $ 22 0000 bill is waiting for me
Because you decided to bring aunt to a
Private hospital, my pay check paid the
Admission fee already. Emily you are making
life hard for me.

Emily: 😞 Am sorry

Me: Just SHUT UP, you are the reason aunt is
Admitted in this hospital because of the stress
You are causing, home is a toxic environment
because of you.

Emily: I didn't mean for any of this to happen, I love
Mark. And I didn't want him to hurt anyone
Anymore. That's why I gave him the money
I had no choice.

Me: you have no right to touch or give away money
That you didn't work hard for. Am guessing you
didn't file the report that you promised you
Would.

Emily: Rinah please don't be mad.

Me: if you love Mark so much why don't you go back
To him, go live with him.

I left her standing there. I didn't understand why she was putting us through all this for a man who was toxic not only to her but to me and my aunt. I just had enough. Tears forming , I had to be strong. I had to find money to settle all my accounts.
The nurse stopped me midway.

Nurse: don't forget to come sign the papers miss

Me: but I haven't done the payment yet.

Nurse: someone paid already miss

Me: who

Nurse: Mr Khanna

Me: he did?

Nurse: yes ma'am he did. Wow so shaurya is your
Boyfriend? My God he is so dreamy,he is
stunning.

Me: he is not my boyfriend, he is my boss, and am
Well aware . Where do I sign ?

Nurse: ( pointing on the page) right here. You know
shaurya doesn't date black girls.

Me: ( signing the paper) how do you know? Not that
I care but where did you hear that?

Nurse: I just know, black people are savages.

Me: so you think he will date you?

Nurse: positive.

Me: 😂😂My God ,so you being Chinese makes you
A Better candidate?, you can't even see clearly
From afar, am sure you won't see his infidelity
Coming, judging at how tiny your eyes are .

Nurse: you are being Racist.

Me: ow now am being racist? This is a hospital, next
time watch what you say to me or I will knock
You out right here, Excuse me.
