บททั้งหมดของ My one night affair : บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 10

It was winter when I decided to apply for a job abroad. I heard about an interview of group of companies in a suburb where I used to go to work. I head to the hotel where they did the interview and found myself wondering if it is a good idea. However, I wanted to escape from this place where I find myself frustrated all the time. As I entered the lobby, I saw other fellow nurses waiting for their turn to be interviewed. I listed my name and joined them in the agony of waiting game. It was almost after 3 hours when I got my turn and headed to the interview room. And we began. The lady, in her 40s I think, asked me several questions about my field of expertise and had me explained a disease process. In medical field, I tend to excel a lot, so I find it easy to describe and answer what she wants. After half an hour, she told me to wait for a call back. I was just told by the assistant that I got the job. Was very excited about it and could not fathom my happiness. I immediately called

'last night was the best night, ever! You truly are amazing in bed, babe', I read on Nick's phone coming from a girl named Cathy. I was shaking. I couldn't help myself but cry. He entered the room and found his phone on my hand. Angrily he said, "what are you doing with my phone?!! You don't know the word privacy!!?" "You dumbass!! You've been cheating on me this whole time? Who's Cathy? Huh?" we were arguing inside the room where my daughter was burst in tears. "I don't owe you an explanation. Cathy is nothing. She's just a friend!" "You dare to lie in front of me? After all I have been through because of you? You're such a loser". After hearing those words, he hit me so hard that I all I can remember is his mom entering our room and trying to stop him, taking my daughter away from us. I woke up the next morning feeling like shit. On my bed, as if my body has been buried. I saw my daughter playing alone. I feel so horrible. I wonder what I have done to exp

Nick was furious as I told him over the phone about my recent job application going to London. He can never accept the fact that he lost me over his affair from Cathy. I, on the other hand, is firm with my decision. I will leave my daughter with my parents and worked away from her to achieve the life I always wanted for my family and for my daughter.'My precious daughter, I never knew you would give me so much strength to fight this battle, be able to endure all the pain, the hardship that I have been through the past years with my husband, your father and the struggles that I have to face for this new journey away from you', my thoughts while cuddling my sleeping daughter. She sleeps peacefully, like an angel. So tranquil the day it is. It feels like the winter wind could not penetrate the warmth I feel with my daughter."Are you sure this is what you wanted?" my mom asked me from the behind. "I have to do it mom, so i could provide Althea a better life. And I can he

As we nestled in our individual apartment provided by our hospital's human resource team, Liz and I immediately begin to unpacked our things. As I was arranging my stuffs, I called my mom through zoom meeting to let them know that I have arrived safely and to show them my new abode for the next 6 months. I dialed my mom's number and turned on the video conferencing."Hi mom!, where's Althea and dad?", I asked as I am busy unpacking the rest of my stuffs. "Ben!!, come here and bring Althea. It's Jessica!", my mom shouted with excitement on her voice, as if singing out the top of her lungs. Dad is in a hurry. He's a little excited to see how things are going on as I landed in my little apartment."Hi dad, I'm here now in London!, and this will be my temporary home" I turn the camera to let them see the space I got.  "oh sweety,  it's amazing. That place is gorgeous", he said as he run his eyes on the four corners of my place. "momma!", my precious Althea greete

On my way to work, I saw Lorraine. I greeted her and she wished me good luck. It was fun having to experience a day with her. She is one of the few people who helped me to have a smooth transition of being an OT nurse. Before heading home, Lorraine advised me to check the posted schedule I have this month. "Go check your schedule, starting tomorrow, you'll be working without me supervising you". Then she bid goodbye and exited the theatre. I took my phone and took a photo of my schedule then immediately head back home. All day, the mail still lingers in my brain, hovering my mind this entire time. How dare him made that kind of threat. 'Jess, I know you are in London now. By this time, I cannot do anything because of the restraining order that you pass in the court against me, not being able to visit my daughter. But I assure you, that I will do everything in my power to lift it so soon that you will regret this decision. I know I have made your life a little misera
