Hypocrisy

I pity myself all this time. 

Seriously, I feel like my nerves urging and my stomach arching. I'm already 20 years old and still didn't find any jobs. Right now, I'm sitting in the bench nearing by the peach tree.

Three companies rejected my interview to apply as a worker of their company. I didn't eat anything since morning because I don't have any money inside my pursue.

A lot of civilian walking towards the street while looking at me. I don't know what's wrong with this people, did I look like a trash?

My name is Athena Laurier, a poor and unemployed person. 

""Hey, what's wrong?"" An old man with a beard approach me all of the sudden. He sat down next to me,the way he gaze me was pretty obvious concern. The lust and concern are mixing within his shameless eyes.

""Well, nothing's wrong.""

""Great! You know what- wait, what's your name?"" he mumbled.

""Athena.""

""Such an adorable name for a beautiful lady.""

I slightly arched my eyebrows as reaction.

""I had an offer to you, Athena."" He showed me his pursue, I'm crave for a second when he showed me a large amount of money inside of his wallet. I notices his eyes looking around my body while I'm busy looking at his pursue.

WTF! Don't tell me he thinks that I'm 100% beggar because I look like this?

""I'll give you, 1,000 bucks if you sleep with me, and do something heavenly to grave."" He creepily smirked.

The old man's hands start moving and he was about to touch my legs but I grip tightly his hands.

WTF! Did he thinks that I'm 100 % beggar? 

""Hey, old man."" I wear my poker face.

""Well, Athena. It looks like you agreed in my offer.""

I laughed.

""Do you want to die?"" I punch his jaw, I saw a lot of people witnesses about what the hell I'm doing. I kick the old man's balls and surely crack it. I run away until his sinner shadow was totally gone. 

I'm pretty dirty sure that I hit his balls perfectly. His reaction was priceless, when I saw him suffering. 

""Well deserved for an old lust man, isn't?"" I wisphered to myself.

I looked around, I did not notice that it was already 6 o'clock in the night. There is nobody around, I'm the only one here. 

I looked at the street sign and find out that I was in the middle of somewhere I'm not familiar of. 

After 7 minutes of waiting for transportation to stop of. I decided to walk, my hunch tells me that the buses are not available around this area.

I really want to get out of here and find such a proper job. I want to have a love life too-

Wait, I went through the creepy area. I saw someone's crying came out throughout to the passage entrance of the cemetert. He is wearing a tuxedo but his face and suit was very dirty. He surely got fired and  now an unemployed person like me, don't he?

I think he is drown-and-out.

The man looked at me, before he look at me his eyes was lifeless but now he was shocked when he sees me looking at him back. His face was angelic at the same time gloomy. I'm not familiar with him but his reaction when he see me gazing him back feels like we know each other for a long term.

I'm about to continue my walk when I heard a car noises driving for afar. I thougt it was the bus but I'm wrong. The speed of that car is out of limit.

I notice the design of the car, black with tinted glasses.

""W-what the fuck!?" I flabbergasted.

The beggar who's wearing a mess up tuxedo was hit by a car.

I FROZE

The car ran over to the body.

I C-CANT FEEL MY OWN PRESENCE.

I run towards the beggars body, his full body was drowning to death. I get my phone quickly, my hands kind like shaking. I focusely call 911. 

""H-hello? I need help!"" I said through the phone.

""Okay, calm down. What's your name?""

""Athena Laurier!""

""Okay, Athena. Tell me what happed?""

""The beggar was hit by someone's car. Please come quickly!""

----

I only look at him as the time went by his flood is throbbing and like a fountain himself.

A minute, litte by little I try to shake him up. This is the first time I witnessed a hit-and-run accident. I don't know what's wrong to the people who are driving here recently. 

My hunch telling me it was intentional but for what reason? This person looks like a beggar, what's wrong with him.

Despite having a severe injury, for forsake. He regained his consciousness, I feel relieve for a second when I see his eyes open wide.

His face were covered by blood despite of that he has the courage to smile.

""S-sophie?"" He respond, then suddenly cry.

He's trying to stand up but his bone didn't allow it. 

Unlike before, his face was covered by blood but his tears replaced by it.

""Hey, mister! Just wait for a minute, ambulance surely on his way to help you!""

""I k-know.""

What the fuck? 

""Hey, don't you dare act like an arrogant! Your life is on the bit of edge!"" 

""I'm so happy to see you again, Sophie..."" He trailed off.

""I'm not Sophie, you're such a pain in ass!""

He lost consciousness.

I look above where moon was shining, asking why is this happening in my life?

The ambulance arrived and take him to the hospital with me. I look at my watch and find out the time was 7 o'clock in the night. I feel relieved when nurse tell me that the beggar I saved is far from death but he needs surgery.

They ask the Identity of the man but I can't answer. The hospital have it own rules where surgery will not conduct until the paymemt was paid. 

""How much for the surgery?"" I signed.

""That will be three thousand bucks.""

""I don't have that much money!"" I agonized.

The nurse in the front desk didn't respond. She's looking at me while yawning.

""I don't have any money left in my pursue, please I'm begging!""

""But, ma'am! If you don't pay his personal bill. We will not conduct his surgery and that will be your totally fault!"" She demanded.

I bite my lip and took my last resort money. 

""Wait for me.""

""Don't you dare escape.""

Like hell, does she really think I'm trying to escaped? This will be the one in a life time opportunity to save a person for someone like me. I don't want to be bug by my conscience for not helping him. Even th

I took my ATM and withdraw all my money. I quickly return and I put the paper dollars on my palm and by the use of it, I slapped the nurse in the front desk.

""That's the payment, quickly start the surgery as possible!"" 

_____________

Five days ago, I saved a man and all my resort money has been use. My landlord banging my door because it's already the day I need to pay my apartment but I don't have any money left.

She successfully open the door.

""When the hell you gonna pay your mothly apartment fees!?"" She shouted right after she entered.

""I'm so sorry, I don't have enough money for this time. Please, be patient. I'll promised that within this week I can pay you, madame Mina.""

""Okay," she exclaimed.

""Thank you so-

""But in case, you do not paid your bills within this week you can quickly pack your things.""

After that, now she's gone. The stressor is out but the pressure is the only thing she left. Where can I find such a hard cash?!

I feel depressed. I don't want to be a homeless. But every time I remembered I help someone drowning to death I do not regret spending money for his surgery. 

I just abandoned him in the hospital right after his surgery, the reason is I'm starving to death but thanks to my hunch, it tells me that the beggar was safe.

I'm about to close the door but someone stopped the door for backing up.

Who the hell are you?

"""Ohh, a mailman. What can I help you?"" I reckoned.

""Are you Athena Laurier?""

""Pff, yes I am?""

""There is a letter for you, can u sign up here?""

""Okay," I wondered a bit.

The mailman gaves me a black letter and after I hand it, he left immediately. I open the black letter out of curiousity. I don't know where the letter came from but I shook up when I see what's inside on it.

The confusions are whelming me. The letter on it has a ten thousand bucks inside and an invitation. I look closely, the address is not far from my area but this place were vulnerable and prestigious.

How am I supposedly acted in that for filthy rich villa. 

But as for me, there's no turning back I already have the invitations and I down need this money for my apartment fees. And another one thing is, I don't know the identity of the person who invites me.

Tomorrow is his birthday, according to invitation. 

Well, I don't care at all. I'll go to his birthday and rampage the food setting.

____________

Am I in heaven?

After I enter the villa I saw the entrance hall, the design is astonish as I walk in. There's a lot of people wearing a formal suit while mine is simple crop top with jacket and look a pair of pants.

My style is unique!

""Isn't she is ashamed?" I heard someone whispered.

""No, I'm not! I'm irresistible and all of you, filthy riches. You didn't know how lucky you are to have a privilege to eat exquisite like this."" I flabbergasted and after what I shout the silence occur.

I continued to eat.

Eat.

Wait for a second, I need to go to the bathrooms!

I looked around to find waiter, but they look pretty busy. So I decided to go in one room. Until I find a real thing and defecate.

I forget, wait where is the pathway again? 

I can't see anyone. 

While walking, I discovered an open room then turns out it was especial gallery room. 

A little-by-little as I walk by, I saw a big painting hanging on the wall of a woman. As I walk closer the intention heat because of accumulated confusion when notices that the woman in the painting is no ordinary woman but my portrait. Until I noticed something, his left eye has a mole with it unlike me.

So, she's not me?

""Who the hell are you?""

I feel the presences in my back. I'm kinda nervous but as I took a look I find out who was the man who scares me.

""You are the beggar who hit by a car, don't you?!""

""Oh, I see you are Athena?""

He looks so stunning and lavish.

""Can you please stop calling me a beggar? I'm Modrake Whitlock, nice to see you I'm the CEO and the person who invited you into this villa.""

""Happy birthda-

""But first, get out of this gallery room, or I'll rape you!""
