6 Punish

Punish

Days passed she became more annoying and annoying. I really hated her more.

She was like an angel sent from hell because of this aura that she was showing to me. She was like an angel on the outside but I knew that she was hiding these ugly and monster side of her. And I will prove that. I will unleash her ugly and distort self.

While I was having a hot coffee in the veranda of the mansion, I saw Cross' car driving towards the gate. I think he will be busy today because I can sense that the demand of his job was getting higher.

Well! Since Cross will not be here I had came up of an excellent idea how to torture this annoying maid that I had.

After having a great time in the veranda, I entered my room and dug my stuffs that I can use to torture her. I found chess pieces and a white rope. These will be enough to punish her.

I scattered the chess pieces in the brown granite tiles near the door of my room then grabbed the white rope. I tied the rope in the Hafele door knob of my room and tied to the other end so that when she entered my room with those chess pieces I put in the floor she will fall.

I lied down in my bed and surf the net to update what's the latest international news. I will wait for her and she will see how cruel am I to someone like her, someone like her that was really annoying. I wanted to see what face and look she will be making if I really intended to torture her.

A few moments later, I've heard someone was knocking in my door and she opened it.

She opened the door carefully and she didn't slip and fall in the floor. Instead she got those cheese pieces one by one. Regarding with the rope, she saw it that it will tie her so she escaped it and grabbed the rope. She took care of those things and it really stated that she can be a ninja or something. How could she escaped that so easily. And...and I'm so really annoyed and pissed off this time.

I saw her standing in front of me and told me that my breakfast was ready. She was doing this smiling face and that annoying aura that she had.

"Can't you see? I'm busy so get out!" I raised my voice higher as a sign that I am angry.

"My apology Sir". She replied and bowed her head so that she cannot look at my face.

"Are you not angry after what I did?"

"Angry for what Sir?" She unconsciously said.

I looked at her really pissed off and I put more serious face towards her.

"I intentionally want to punish you that's why I put those chess pieces in the floor and tied you with a rope". I frankly said with more serious gaze.

"It's okay Sir. Sometimes, we have our uncontrolled thoughts that's why we made things out of our limitation".

I paused for a while from what she said and processed those words in my mind. What was that? Was she stating that I am crazy because I had these uncontrolled thoughts?

"Are you pointing out that I am crazy? How dare you!" I shouted at the top of my voice and threw her a pillow.

With what I did? I can see that she cannot look directly in my eyes. I can see that she was shocked and a bit surprised that I can do that to her.

And I didn't care, I just wanted to get rid of her out of my life. At the first place, I really don't like her presence, I don't like her aura and I don't like her at all. It was just Cross that kept on insisting and hired her to be my maid.

I can see that she was controlling her emotions and she's tightly holding her maids gown in her lap. She made a smiling face but this time it was a forced smile. She picked the pillow that I threw to her and put it my bed.

"I-I-m sorry Sir". She just uttered and left my room.

I was gazing at my door and didn't know what to feel about that moment. Sorry? She's cringing me out. And it showed that I felt guilty about what happened? It was the first time that I heard someone saying sorry without doing anything wrong to me. And it made me guilty that she had no right to get angry or slap me after doing that to her because I am his boss and she was my maid.

But I cannot take back what had happened and I am still rolling in my bed because I saw how she stopped and controlled herself.

But...but what am I feeling right now?

I ran down to my room and tried to compose myself. It was been so hard to control my tears to fall and it was unexpected that he can be that harsh. I know that I didn't mean what I said because sometimes we have our childish side that's why he did that thing.

In one of a sudden, my tears started to fell one by one. I tried my best to serve and took care of him but my best wasn't good enough. I'm giving my all to this job but he can't still see my efforts.

I know that he was pissed off and annoyed but what can I do. I really needed this job so badly. We are not a well off family and my parents had an unstable job so I needed this to help them. I set aside my dreams because we're financially struggling and the only option that I had was to work.

This time I let myself to cry because of this baggages and bad experiences that I have. He didn't know that it was my day off today but I stayed here to take care of him. He's so cruel and he's heartless.

Being a maid was not easy at all, I cleaned his huge room everyday just to make sure that not even a small dust can get into his skin, I folded his clothes in a systematic way just to make sure that it was organized and I served his food so well just to make sure that he can be healthy. But after what had happened. I realized that it's no good at all.

I wiped my tears from falling, I have to go back to him because he doesn't have eaten his breakfast yet. I will try to forget what happened today and I will try my best to offer him my service to the higher next level. Fighting Diamond! I know you can do it. Cheering myself like this brings me confidence and a never give up attitude.

I saw him enjoying eating his breakfast without marks of guilts in his face after what he had done to me. I silently stood in his back one meter away and tried to forget what had happened. While I'm still lost and quiet I didn't notice that Mr. Cross was standing in front of me.

"Ms. Christensen". Mr. Cross called me but I still didn't hear him because I am having a deep thinking.

"Ms. Christensen is everything okay?" And for the second time he called me and tap my shoulder. With that I saw him standing in front of me.

"W-what is it Mr. Cross?" I buffered replying him.

"You look sad Ms. Christensen? I'm sorry for not granting your day off today and thank you for taking my grandson. I know this is hard for you but still you chose not to leave". A sincere words coming from him.

"It's okay Mr. Cross". I simply replied to him.

"Take a rest now I know you have a hard day taking care of my grandson".

"I'm still okay Mr. Cross. You don't have to worry".

"No. I insist. You can go now".

I leave no choice. I left the dining area and went to my room. And his right, it was a hard day for me.

Tears started to fell from my eyes, feeling these pains in my heart.

I almost done eating my breakfast and I heard everything. I'm not guilty and I didn't feel sorry for what I have done to her. But why is it that I'm feeling inside of me? I can't explain it and it was the first time I'm feeling this way.

I heard it right. It was her day off today but she chose not to take it because of Cross' request. After eating, I went to Cross' room.

"Done with work?" I asked after entering his mediterenean type room interior according to his pleasure.

"Well, you can say that. I just signed some important documents that's why I was early to go home".

Silence filled the room while I'm still composing my thoughts about this feeling that was so unusual to me.

"Why did you not let that maid take her day off? I can take care of myself Cross. I'm eigthteen now and I don't need a maid in this age". I said with raspiness in my voice.

The point was, I'm already eigthteen years old and it was not necessary to have a maid.

"But I want to Hans. You are my one and only grandson that's why I am doing this. I'm at peace if you have someone that will take care of you. I'm getting older and that maid was very good for her job in taking care of you".

I didn't know what to reply because everything he said was all true. But I still hate that annoying maid.

"You know what? You can be a little nicer to her. I think she's at your age and treat her properly Hans. She's doing her best to make sure that you're well. Be nice to her". Some advise coming from my grand father.

"I'm being nice to her. It's just that she's so annoying and ugly".

"What did she do to annoy you? And she's not that ugly. She's plain but she can be pretty with proper clothing and get-up".

"Every thing she does makes me annoyed".

"It was because you're not giving her the chance to prove herself to you. Your just seeing the bad sides of her which is not true because she was the opposite of that. Try to see the other thing. I think that will make you understand her and like her as your personal maid".

"That won't happen Cross. I hate her".

"Well, that's your perspective but I hope you give her a chance".

"I don't have something to say. So, I'm taking my leave". I went outside to his room and what's with him? Was he defending that ugly maid? And I didn't see the point of it.

I entered my room because I'm so pissed off and I saw this annoying maid cleaning the mess I made earlier.

I was gazing her and standing in the door of my room. And I was perplexed with my thoughts because she was doing her job despite of what I had done to her.

"What are you doing?" Asking her with a serious voice.

"Ahmm...I'm cleaning your stuffs Sir Hans". She replied in a low tone of her voice as if it was like so awkward in the room.

"And who told to clean my stuffs? Could you get out of my room. NOW!" I shouted her because she made me pissed off.

She stood up and slowly walking in the door of my room. She was just bowing her head so that I cannot see her face.

"About earlier Sir. It's not like that. I just meant that sometimes we get childish that's why you did that. I didn't meant anything about you being crazy because you are not and I'm sorry if you were annoyed about the fact that I was here working as your maid". She said as if she was defending her side of what had happened earlier.

"And there you are. You know to yourself that at the first place I hate you and I hate you being my maid right? So, could please leave me".

"It's just that I cannot still leave Sir Hans because I really needed this job so badly that's why I'm doing everything that I can in order to serve you. Maybe, the right time will come Sir Hans. I will leave this mansion and you will get what you wanted but not this time. I'm so happy that I got to serve you because I'm doing this for my dream. Just like you Sir, you are financially stable and you are studying in a good university but to someone like me. I cannot do those things like you do because we are financially struggling. So I hope you give me a chance to a person like me". That was her last words and went outside my room.

After what she said and Cross' said a while a go, I was at my deep thinking and tried to reflect it.

Should I give her a chance?
