Aslan MurabakI opted for a more casual outfit and put on jeans, a shirt and a blazer. Unlike every day I left my hair a bit messy, I wanted to try and be a normal person, enjoy myself without having to worry about this whole marriage thing suffocating me. To my parents now that I've become a Sheik I have to get married and procreate. And I'm not the least bit interested in all that."Shall we go?" - I say to Lemi who looks at his mobile phone and smiles to himself."Let's go. Said, is waiting for us downstairs."We get in the lift and I talk to him about some contracts we needed to review and about the layoffs at the hotel, which he was against. I don't know why he was against it, all the hotels we buy we do the same thing and this time he was against everything that was related to the employees of this hotel. As we walked out through the reception, I observed the staff working and my brother being smiling to everyone. Said was waiting for us in the car."Said, the hotel manager told
Diana RodriguesOne of the worst moments of my life. People looked at me like a piece of meat in a butcher shop. My heart was pounding and my legs were trembling, but when I saw Juninho Bad Boy sitting with several girls beside him fear came over me. I remained motionless. The lights went out and someone held my arm and said to me."Dance Diana, you need the money, think about your debts, girlfriend give it your best shot!" - And just as she walked in, she walked out. The central light was illuminating me, I was the attraction and showing myself off to all those men who were there thirsting for lust. When I took off the cape that covered my body, I let all my shame and my morals fall with it. I was going to dance and please, earn the money. My family was in the crosshairs of the guy watching me and screaming underneath like a madman. I always liked to dance at home, alone, when I was a teenager and my mother worked outside I turned on the radio at the highest volume and danced while
Diana RodriguesThe sun is illuminating my window and I couldn't close my eyes yet. At least the day has changed, and THE DAY OF BAD BOY was behind me, I'll remember it for all the days of my life. Today I hope to go back to that nightclub and make some more money, because I really need to pay Juninho Bad Boy. If only I could stay working twenty four hours a day, just to get out of all that. Just thinking about what that crazy guy could do to us, for Alex's irresponsibility. The noise of my mobile phone notification frightens me. But it's Jose, the most fucked up guy I know.MESSAGE JOSÉHey, girlfriend,What are you doing up? You got me curious.A thoughtful emoji.MESSAGE DIANAFriend,I have so much to tell you, after you left so much happened.MESSAGE LINDOFriend,I will come there just for you to tell me, I can't wait until the night, and today is Saturday I can arrive at nine o'clock at the hotel. I'll be there soon.Emoji running.MESSAGE DIANAI'm waiting for you.Emoji kiss.
Diana Rodrigues You are my best friend, but I was ashamed of you who were always so good. I prostituted myself for a while. I worked in another hotel and there I met this world. I resisted a few times, but I needed to pay the rent and the money wasn't enough, so I subjected myself to going out with other men for money. I don't repudiate those who do it, but it is difficult, words from someone who has been through that life. Some people like to do it, others because they need to and others because they get stoned."Some men would come into the hotel and check in and say they were waiting for a person. When the person arrived and identified themselves, I was horrified, many of them had their wedding rings on their finger and pictures of their children and wife in their wallet when they went to pay. I found it so disgusting. At that time I had not yet assumed that I was homosexual. I watched everything that happened until the invitation was made to me. I refused a few times, I didn't wan
Diana RodriguesIt is so good when you have a person to count on, a person you love and who loves you. I always say that love is free. You offer it to the one you truly love. The farce of love can last a while, but if it is a lie, it is soon unmasked. The feeling that I have for my friend José, it is so natural and comes from the heart, with no intention of anything and it is free.I took him to the gate of my house and from there I watched him walk away and when he turned the corner he said goodbye, that's a friend's love. When I got home, I went to my room, got the bag where the money was, opened it and looked at the notes inside. The monthly expenses of my house were high and we always paid late, so I decided to pay them all and go to the supermarket to do some shopping, after all I didn't know how things would turn out.How to pay the hospital bill? When I arrived at the building it was something that made me shiver. I went up to the floor where Alex was and as soon as I reached t
Diana Rodrigues"Well, I'll leave the prescriptions and the test orders ready. And you are already discharged, a nurse will come to help you, I will accompany her - we both left the room and I was ashamed to look at a man as handsome as that - Well, I don't know how to broach the subject with you, but are you worried about the hospital bill?""I am terrified, I don't have much money, as you can see we are simple people, and until now I don't understand why they brought my brother here, I know he crashed a luxury car, but the car wasn't his and we are going to have to pay for both car and hospital.""Your brother was rescued by me, I was going to my house and the accident had just happened, I did first aid and we called the ambulance. That's why he came here, I accompanied him.""A you were the one who brought him here" - my face of disappointment was so big he noticed."I know you're worried, and I only brought him here because the hospital has a program to care for patients who can't
Diana RodriguesI woke up with my mobile phone ringing for the thousandth time. I was so tired from the stress of the day and the night I had. Few hours and so many events. It took me a while to open my eyes to answer the mobile phone that keeps ringing, and Zyan's name takes over the screen with the word messages and calls."Putz, I forgot him - I put my hand on my head - I need to go to the club to work and I can't be late. What am I going to do with him?The only thing I can do today is to cancel, I can't not go to the club, I need the money and between going out with a nice guy and going to work, I only have the second choice. I pick up the phone and look at the messages he sent me. He asked me several questions like: what time can he pick me up? If I had rested? Had my brother left the hospital? What time was I going to see him?******MESSAGEZyan,A thousand pardons for not answering or replying to your messages. My brother left the hospital today and I was so tired that I ende
Diana Rodrigues"Calm down, we'll manage." Renata tries to make me calmer."I'm scared. That was a threat and he's willing to do something bad - "I didn't want to date anyone, but that's not an option" - she pulled me into the same dressing room."We all think like that, but when we don't have the money to pay the bills and can't buy basic things, unfortunately it's one of our last ways to go and then you just keep going" - she made circle gestures with her hand."If my mother knows I'm here, she'll be very sad.""You are here to pay her dear son's debts, Diana. And don't think about your mother. Have you decided about the dates?""Yes, I will" - I ducked my head in shame to say the hardest yes of my life."Are you sure? There's no forgetting the memories afterwards girlfriend, the money is worth it, but some memories you will carry for the rest of your life. I carry mine stored in a little box inside my heart and they are not good" - this time she puts her head down and takes a deep
