Juanita was in a good mood after eating her food, she washed the plates quickly and dried them before putting them back into the old, blue kitchen unit that was on the verge of falling apart.
She went to the bathroom and bent down to do some laundry. It was good that the clothes were not a lot and after all that soaking, the clothes were clean so all she had to do was rub and rub and then rinse them.
She was done in less than an hour and she went outside to hang her clothes. Looking at the bright sun outside, she was in a good mood. It was spring and the price of fresh produce was high.
And thinking of selling her goodies in the future, Juanita happily hummed a tune as she returned inside the house. The neighbor who had come out to throw some trash, couldn’t help but look at Juanita with a strange light in her eyes.
“What is wrong with that girl?” she wondered but brushed it aside as it wasn’t any of her business.
Juanita warmed some water and took a warm bath before changing into some beautiful clothes. She had some money she received from her former workplace and she decided to go and buy herself some clothes.
Juanita was planning to go home now that she was no longer working and spent some time with her family. As she thought about this, she was in a good mood. Her landlord had been making her life hard lately and she didn’t mind moving out.
This place wasn’t safe at all and with no job in the area, Juanita didn’t want to live here at all. So, she decided to go back home, be with her parents and then go traveling.
She wanted to upgrade her farm quickly and in towns and villages, it was easy to find some exotic and new plants and this will help her a lot.
After making up her mind, she began to pack her belongings and placed them neatly into her thatched hut. She was going to bring all those that were in good condition and throw away the bad ones.
There was only one week left before the month-end and she was not going to give that rude person her money again. After placing her bed and chest of the drawer into her farm hut, the place looked better and homely.
Juanita still left for her shopping and spent two hours buying some clothes for herself. Since it was already late, she decided to resume her shopping the following day.
When she returned home, she removed her clothes from the line and took them inside, and ironed them. She also cooked some food since she didn’t buy any takeaway when she was out.
After eating the food cooked with the farm water, she was happy as the food tasted better than before. With all the work done, she returned to the farm and harvested all the rice, and sold one bag of rice.
The money she now had was enough to buy seeds to plant at least five times, so she was no longer troubled as she was in the beginning. With a bag of rice, she could now eat, Juanita happily planted some more rice and went to bed.
The next day, she harvested her rice first before planting more and began her house chores. She ate her leftover food from the fridge and took a shower and changed into some of the clothes she bought when she went shopping yesterday.
When she was done, she called the landlord and told him that she was moving out that month-end and the man were elated and didn’t even bother to hide it. Juanita sneered when she hung up the phone and went to do the shopping.
On this day she bought some clothes for her parents and some accessories. She spent quite a few hours enjoying herself and ended up meeting a few faces she didn’t want to see.
“Oh, I thought that you will be home weeping and mopping for being out of a job. Why do you have the mood to go shopping?” the woman dressed in cream white tight fitted dress asked her with a sneer on her face.
Juanita didn’t know what she did to piss this woman off but now she was seeing for herself just how much hatred the other has for her.
“Hahaha, why should I cry as if it is the end of the world? It wasn’t like I was being paid millions there! At least now, I don’t have to be worked like a donkey by some lazy ass. Yesterday it was me but imagine the day when your lies are exposed and also get kicked out of there! Look forward to that day, manager!” Juanita mocked her former manager and brushed past her shoulders and left.
The manager was so angry that she stomped her feet and hurriedly followed Juanita and stopped her by holding her shoulders.
“Who do you think are? Who gave you the right to talk to me like that?” the manager yelled angrily at Juanita and on this stage, the manager was so furious that she didn’t even see that she had attracted a lot of attention to them and a small crowd was already forming.
Juanita wanted to leave some dignity for this woman but she was so crazy and egoistic that Juanita decided to teach the other a lesson, “Mary, I used to respect you a lot because it is not easy to be seated in the position where you are right now. But after being with you for months I realized that you were as dirty as the others I have come across with. I did all the work and yet you took all the credit for my hard work. Did it ever cross your mind that one day you will face your karma? I don’t want to fight with you at all, so while I am still nice get away from my face.”
Mary was speechless, embarrassed and her face green as Juanita exposed her deeds in public. It was the first time she experienced an outburst from Juanita, she didn’t know that the other could talk like this.
And by the time she realized that she had been humiliated, everyone was looking at her and pointing fingers at her and the culprit Juanita was nowhere to be found. Mary could only hang her face and ran away with shame all over her face.
Juanita was even happier knowing that she had slapped Mary in her face, Juanita was even polite considering how much pain and suffering she had brought to her life.
Juanita was not going to let anyone or anything stop her from being happy in her life, she was going to fight hard this time and they should all watch out!
Juanita spent the remaining days before she moved out, planting her rice, harvesting it, and getting rid of the things she didn’t need. She also applied for an online store on Baobab and this process was going to take a week.Only her details were needed so she didn’t need to worry about anything or register an address. This online store was good especially for people with no physical registered places for a selling point.It wasn’t as complicated as when one was opening the company and the capital needed wasn’t much as well. So, while she waited, Juanita cleaned up her whole house and sold a few appliances she didn’t need.On the last day of the month, she handed the keys to the landlord and walked out of the apartment she had been living in for over a year with just a suitcase of clothes.“Where did she put her things?” the man asked curiously as he watched the tenant, h
Juanita jogged happily to her parents seeing the love, warmth, and longing in her mother’s eyes. She had missed the woman so much and it felt good seeing her after not being home for a long time.“I am home, mother!” Juanita excitedly announced as her mother’s warm embrace enveloped her.“My baby is back, let momma look at you,” Pearle excitedly spoke as she looked at her daughter to see if she was in a good condition.Juanita giggled happily and let her mother look at her all she wanted, after a minute or so, Pearle finally stopped and took the suitcase from Juanita.“Mother, I can carry it. You don’t have to,” she tried to dissuade her mother but the old woman shook her head in rejection.“I am still strong, let mommy do this for you. Come along, your daddy should be on edge by now,” Pearle laughed as she looked
Juanita looked at her dad’s worried face and sighed, she didn’t want anything bad happening to her parents or watching them getting depressed especially when she was the root of all the problems.“Dad, I will be here for like a week or two. I resigned from my previous workplace and will be going to Zlila for something better,” knowing her parents well, she doubted if she could hide from them any longer so it was better for her to come out clean from the word go.Randall wasn’t surprised much but Pearle who was done washing the plates, yelled in surprise, “darling, why did you resign?”Juan looked at her mother in a defeated manner, “it wasn’t working well there so I decided to leave and look for greener pastures somewhere else.”Pearle looked at her daughter and felt her heartache for her, “were they bullying you?”Juan ch
“Mom and dad, I know that you mean well for me and you want the best for me but you need to know that as long as you are tiring yourselves, working so hard to pay off the debts that were incurred around six years ago for me; I feel so sad and it really hurts a lot,” Juan looked at her parents as tears streamed down her cheeks.Pearle and Randall held each other’s hands as their hearts raced as they listened to their child airing out her grievances to them.“I have been like this for six years, I lost so many things and have been looked upon so many times that I got tired of it. All I wanted was to be normal again, to be able to take a photo and smile brightly. I also want to walk out there proudly without being looked at like a clown but the reality is just scary. We can’t afford the money, I have saved for six years, and yet it isn’t even a tenth of the money needed, and by now the money should have risen
Juan had no idea that a rich tycoon had set her eyes on her store as she was busy doing some chores at home. She even cooked this rice and some vegetables and went to see her parents.She had not cooked for them for ages, so she wanted them to have some food that they have not cooked while working.When Pearle and Randall saw their daughter, they were all smiles. They were surprised to see her holding packed lunches but they felt warm in their hearts.They cooked for a living but receiving packed lunches from their daughter really made their day. Those that were waiting for their food couldn’t help but look at this scene in a bewildered manner.Why would anyone bring food to a food stall? But the parties involved didn’t even care about any of them.Juanita then returned home after that. As she was chilling in the living room watching T.V she decided to check her store inbox and see
Juanita spent a great time with her parents, helping them with their work and selling her rice online. The business was not that good as in one week she managed to sell only three bags of rice including the one she sold to the first customer.She wasn’t worried much as she was full of confidence that one day, she will be selling her products like crazy. During this time, she had been thinking hard about telling her parents about her farm.She didn’t want them to worry about her much so she decided to tell them before she leaves and also give them some of the products as she couldn’t keep on making excuses daily.Two days before her departure, Juan was in her room looking at the juicy tomato in her hands. She had been planting tomatoes and rice interchangeably ever since she leveled up.And now she had enough of the two, she even sold some of them and bought some other seeds to plant
Juan managed to get some rare plants from the nearby hills and placed them on the farm, there were many notifications but she still didn’t level up but that didn’t matter.She had just received the farm and there was no way she could level up all the time. There was nothing that easy in life, so she was prepared to suffer a bit before she receives the ending, she needed.Her father was just so super, he bought her a good bed and a chest of drawers from one of the carpenters in town. The new furniture made her feel so good and teary. Changing the old furniture for new, put her in a very good mood.Finally, the day of departure arrived and her parents sent her to the bus rank as they wanted to personally send her off. After buying her ticket, she sat down with her parents until it was time to go.She hugged them goodbye and lingered around in their embrace as she felt sad that she was
After seeing the city or part of it, Irene drove Juanita to her apartment. Juan as someone new in the city, did her best to look at everything and memorize everything she could.She didn’t want to keep on having someone as a guide forever, she was a big girl and she wasn’t here to drag her friend down. Looking at the beautiful apartment in her sight, she felt very happy for her friend.Even though the two were best friends, she had seen the place only in photos and this was the first time being here.“This place looks beautiful,” Juan sincerely complimented as she felt happy for her friend.Irene was elated seeing that her friend was genuinely happy for her after all Juan meant a great deal to her. Even though her original intentions were not so good but as time went on, she began to like the other.“I am glad that you like it. I have prepared the gu
