Chapter 1

YIMAROO I leaned backwards at my swivel chair as I picked up the ringing telephone. "Hello, this is Maroo. How may I help you?" I immediately spoke. The time is already 2 am. My shift will end at 5 that's why I'm doing my best not to fall asleep. It's actually my second day of being a call center agent and so far, there's no conflict between me and the callers. "Hi! Do you have an IG account? Can you follow my account with the username instamimi? I'll follow you back immediately. Thank you!" I didn't get the chance to answer when she hung up. Wtf? Is she on drugs? This call center is for electronic appliances and not for following each other on insta— "Hi, this is Maroo. How may I help you?" Another caller. I'm waiting for a response but all I hear are silent sobs and cries of a lady. "Ma'am? Is everything okay—" "Shut up

Chapter 2

DERNATE 2 am I'm still up, staring at nothing in particular. I came back from Norway yesterday and is still adjusting to the time zone. I stayed there for at least a month that's why I can't sleep because it's still 8 pm at Norway by now. My room in this house is empty except for my bed, lamp, discs and mangas (which I already finished reading). Really? This is how Dad pays me after all my efforts? There's nothing for me to be busy of. I came back to rest from travelling to different places but now I'm being stressed about this house. Good thing I remembered that we're supplying a company here. What's its name again? Oh, right. BVA.

Chapter 3

YIMAROO Since it's already 5:30 am, I chose not to take a taxi and just walked towards my boarding house. Some people are already walking to and fro—vendors, drivers, and those people who don't want to get jammed by the heavy traffic. If they're still starting to do their job, I'm already done with mine. So nice. After entering the boarding house, I didn't bother to change my clothes and went straight to my bed. As much as I want to sleep already, I can't because I need to clean myself first. I got up and did what has to be done and that's when I collapsed on my bed with a smile. I can have a good night sleep at last. I was woken up by

Chapter 4

YIMAROO I honestly don't know what to do. I'm still walking along the sidewalk, thinking of some possible ways to earn money. The only person I can depend on is myself alone. I got no one by my side—not even a friend. Sometimes, I ask myself what did I do to experience this? Am I a bitch at the past life and the punishment is given in this time of my life? I'm hungry, worried, frustrated and tired. I want to lie on my bed and sleep. It feels like the dark circles under my eyes are much bigger than before and I don't have any energy le

Chapter 5

YIMAROO I never wasted time. I dashed to my boarding house and packed my things. There are only few since I'm not fond of shopping and...I don't have any money to shop. In the middle of packing, a thought entered my mind. I have so many questions which remained unanswered. Why did I end up like this? Why do I still feel alone despite of the efforts I had exerted? I disregarded the idea and continued packing. An hour passed before I was finally done with what I'm doing and Ferd, the driver in 40's helped me on putting them inside the car. We had a small talk about how he w

Chapter 6

YIMAROO "Dad!" A voice echoed inside the whole living room. Because of my curiosity, I left the kitchen and went to where the scream came from. "What happened?" I hysterically asked to Sir Lornate while we both have shocked expressions on our faces. Even if I want to laugh at the old man's funny face, I still prevented it or it might be the second time to be fired. My sight went to Dernate's direction who's eyes are becoming big and round. "Dernate, what happened?" The old man asked in a concerned voice.
