85

Somehow I managed to put a full stop to my father's worries. He assured me that there is complete safety inside this mansion. The security is really tight.

We came to the conclusion that my kids need not attend the daycare. And when they grow enough to go to school, then something else will be done. But my father patted me on the back and tried to assure me that till then everything will be sorted.

As far as my job is concerned, he told me to resign.

It seemed like a big step. I don’t want to be a financial burden on my father. I am already living under his roof, he will be the one responsible for my kids. My job is the only way I feel independent, I can’t let go of it.

For the first time in my life I was working and earning money. I gained so much knowledge and I could feel the difference in the old, naive Emilia and the new smart one. What I feel deep inside is that the job gives me an identity.

All my life I was a burden to my family (people who adopted me), then the man I married.
