Use it wisely

Her grandmother, mother and aunties placed their hands on their chest and breath a sigh of relief. What would they have possibly be do if the police finds them here? They're just doing this job as a source of living and daily means to put food on their table, is that so wrong?

"Mom, grandma, aunts?" Zoraya called and they looked at her. "We all will be leaving Slovenia to the western country. I heard businesses are flowing like milk and honey over there than here."

Pavla jumped up and beamed instantly, "Ah, Las Vegas!"

"Sit!" Mojca scolded.

Pavla shamefully placed a finger at the side of her mouth and slowly went down to the ground.

Caressing her daughter's fancy hair, Snežana said, "My dear, what country do you want us to go from the western world?"

"America." Zoraya answered. When her family stared at themselves with astonishment, she further continued, "Tomorrow very early in the morning, I'll prepare all the credentials and get them ready. We should be out of this country before weekend."

"But why the rush, zoraya?" Kája asked.

"Aunt, the police here have started taking the crime I did so serious. If we stay here for one more week, believe me when I say we all will be locked up behind bars." Zoraya explained. She knew that there is no more time left at hand. They have to evacuate the premises and the country before it gets viral.

"Are you sure this is going to work fast?" Pavla asked cautiously.

"Yes of course. Once we get over to America, everything will be settle. We can begin our lives from there." She looked at the stuffed bag on her lap and said, "The money with me is very much enough to prepare all we need, buy a new home and start a new business."

Th others looked at themselves and nodded in understanding before staring back at her.

"Zoraya, you're right."

"By the time we get to the states, we can caught this whole business out and set up something that is not illegal for ourselves. Something that will freshen money and finaces in a legal way."

Zoraya has thought about these after she stole the money. She was tired of prostituting and using her body to make money. People may think that she is happy or enjoying it while doing it but no! She is not.

Whenever she gets home, she always goes straight to her room. Crying and wishing she was never born into this world of suffering.

Her body has been misused, molested and abused by so many men old enough to be her father and grandfather.

Several times she had talked to her mother and family about it. Countless times have they persuaded and threatened her to keep shut and further more or else she'll die of hunger.

Zoraya lost her virginity all because of this illegal and dirty business. She is fed up of it and wants a change. She wants to go to school and become educated just like every other child.

Though she has missed major of the chances but she don't want to miss the chance of breaking the dirty curse out of her family's linage.

Years back when she was five, she was told at age eighteen, there is a task awaiting for her. As a kid,her mentality was still jelly and she hoped for it to be something good untill now when it's her turn to play bread winner in the family.

Such is life.

She swore to leave her bad ways and repent for the best if she finds favor and now that one has fall on her toes, she won't misuse it but use it wisely.
