I wanted to get out of the car, but I should wait, until the conversation is over, it is dangerous to slight the rich, they are fickle and bad-tempered people, that's the worst thing about being poor, you are defenseless, against people who with two words can end your life as if nothing.
"Tomorrow I will come for you to sign the agreement, after that, I will tell you what the rules are."
"Rules?"
"Of course, there are many rules, if you are going to be with a man like me, whether it's three months or two days, you have to comply with the rules."
"Okay."
"You can go, wait a bit, my bodyguard will accompany you with your things."
"What things?"
"Are you in a position to ask questions?"
"No."
The car door opened, I got out, the muscular man took many bags out of the trunk, and then signaled me to walk, after that, I started walking, until he stopped me.
"Wait, come here."
I turned around and approached the door again.
"Tonight, I will send you a package, with some things, put them on tomorrow."
"Yes, sir."
"You can go."
I walked quickly, entered the building and the bodyguard was coming behind me, we arrived at my floor, I opened the door, the man entered, looked at everything in disbelief, put the packages on the table, looked around again, left and went, I ran and closed the door.
I fell on the floor, put my head on my knees and started to cry, it had been a long time since I cried, and this cry was of impotence, feeling between a rock and a hard place, having to yield to the unhealthy desires of a rich man for money, that makes me the same as what my grandmother fought so hard for me not to be, a prostitute.
So I was in a moral dilemma, the money or the life of the only family I have in this world, the woman who fought to raise me well, being a hardworking person, that my eyes would not be filled with the greed of luxury and vanity, the person who formed me as a decent human being, can I let her die to preserve my dignity, I would not.
After a long while I stood up from the floor, what has to be will be, it's only 3 months, then I can go with my grandmother, to another city, buy a small house, and live my life as if this episode of my life never happened, that's what I'm going to do, erase it all from beginning to end.
I went to the table, and opened the bags, it was food from the restaurant and not the leftovers of things that were left over, they were dishes prepared expressly for me, there were many dishes, and all very expensive, lobster, steak, shrimp, all with their garnishes, I counted them and there were exactly 8, two of each dish and all repeated, oh!, there would be two for the lady from 3A, 4 for the couple from 3C, and 2 for me.
How did he know? that I give food to these people, God!, that man is a true demon, even the bags were distributed, two, four, two, incredible, I took the bags, opened the door, went out into the hallway, knocked on the couple's door, after a while knocking the woman opened reluctantly.
"What do you want?"
"Take it."
"It's your leftovers again, we don't want them."
"It's not like that, these are expensive dishes, I'm going to move and I wanted to give you something before I leave."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"Okay."
She took the bag and slammed the door in my face, I didn't expect less from her, she's always like that, I took a deep breath, and knocked on the door of the lady from 3A, she opened for me, after a while, she didn't seem to be well.
"What's wrong?"
"Girl, my medicine has run out for a few days and I haven't been able to buy it, a few days are missing for the pension to arrive and well... what brings you here."
"I came to bring you this food, why don't you give me your prescription and I'll buy you the medicine this month."
"No girl, you already do too much, besides you have all your things, don't do it."
"Don't worry, a millionaire gave me a good tip, trust me, give me the prescription."
The woman was hesitant, but she knew that the month was just beginning, that she was not going to resist so much, so she looked for the prescription, I gave her the bag of food, and took the prescription.
"I'll be back in a while with your medicine."
"Thank you, girl, may God multiply it for you."
I went to my apartment, closed the door, looked for the money I had hidden, it was about 500 dollars of tips that I had accumulated, I put them in the inside pocket of my coat, and the keys too, I left the apartment and closed everything very well, the medicine of the lady from 3A, is in the pharmacy 4 blocks from the apartment, I know, because she has told me that, it is where she finds it.
The street was cold and it was already night, people were starting to go out to work at these hours, women on the corners could be seen waiting for clients, and men who passed in their cars thirsty for pleasures, I walked as fast as I could, I don't like to meet lewd men on the street.
I arrived at the pharmacy, I entered, passed the prescription, the man who was attending gave me everything, and told me the price.
"It's 150 dollars."
"Give me for two months please."
Since I was doing the favor, it's less than I do it well, also I will leave some money and a purchase, so that you pass food to the two useless ones from apartment 3C, I am afraid that one day they will die of hunger in there.
I took the medicine, and paid it, there was a drinks machine, I bought a soda and some bottles of water, paid the rest, and left with my bags in my hand, I walked fast, and I didn't stop at anything, because although I live in this place, these streets are very dangerous, I arrived at the building as fast as I could, I entered and climbed the stairs quickly, when I arrived at my floor, I was very tired, I was scared when I saw the lady from 3A talking to the man dressed in white, what was he doing here?
"Girl, this man came to look for you."
I approached, and I said to her I passed the bag of medicine, and another with water, the third was mine.
"Lady, here is the medicine for two months, and water, this is my boss, don't worry."
"Thank you, girl, goodbye young man."
The lady entered her apartment and we stayed, and I in the hallway, she had some bags in her hands.
"You don't invite me in."
"Huh?... Sure."
I took the keys from my coat, opened all the locks, and opened the door, I let him pass, then I entered behind him and closed, put the bag on the table, and looked for the chair I had.
He stood looking at the place everywhere, and after a while he sat down on the chair, he looked imposing in a place like this, I sat on the bed, and waited for him to speak.
"Why do you live in a place like this?"
"It's necessary."
My answer was curt, I don't have to explain my life, nor am I going to.
He got up from the chair, took several steps towards me, passed me the bag.
"Put this on for tomorrow, I'm going to send my driver to pick you up at 8 at night."
He turned to leave, I put the things on the bed, I stood up and went to open the door for him, I opened all the locks and opened the door for him, he looked at me for a second and then left, again, I put all the locks, that was very uncomfortable, really, this is not going to be easy at all.
