I continued my work there and took orders from customers. From time to time I looked at the table of the two men to see if Annie had served their orders. I just want to see what happens to that arrogant man when he eats spicy food.
I worked there confidently and I was also busy because the customers were increasing. I had lost my mind that I was getting something back that day, that's why I immediately looked at their table. Annie had just served her orders, so when we looked at each other, I smiled.I stayed inside the kitchen but peeked outside to see if they had started eating. I grinned when I saw them biting into their pizza together."Kali, who are you looking at?" Jake asked me.Jake was one of the crew and I stood properly when he asked me. I saw that he was holding a cleaning cloth and it looked like he was about to clean the empty table so I spoke immediately."Are you going to clean the table?" I asked him."Yeah. I was about to leave and go there to clean," he answered then shrugged his shoulders."Great! Let me do that for you," I said.I immediately took Jake's cleaning supplies even though he didn't agree to what I wanted. I left there immediately so that the table near the two men I was retaliating against would be clean.I pretended not to know what's happening when I came to the other table to remove the mess there. I just wiped the table there while observing if they were talking about something. It seems that what I assumed to be spicy in their foods has not gone away because a man has not been allergic yet. I stopped what I was doing when I heard coughing from the other table."Is all the food you ordered spicy?" I heard a question."What? No, but...""Oh, yeah! It tastes spicy. I instructed the girl not to add spices because you're allergic," a man answered.The arrogant man I was talking to earlier coughed one after another. I don't know if I will feel guilty or happy because I finally got revenge on him."Miss."My eyes widened when I heard the voice of silent boy. I didn't turn around because maybe I wasn't what he was calling. I just took a deep breath and continued what I was doing."Miss, excuse me?" he called again and this time, he touched me.I bit my lip and closed my eyes tightly before facing their table. I caught sight of Damian, whose skin was almost red while drinking a mango shake."Yes, Sir? Do you need anything?" I asked then smiled.He didn't speak and just looked at me that's why I remained standing there while pretending not to know what was happening with him."You put chili on my food?" Damian asked me.I could see the annoyance on his face while looking at me, that's why I tried to act in front of them even more."What? Actually, there's natural spices in the ingredients. The food won't taste good if it's not added," I answered."But I told you that he's allergic to spicy foods," said the silent boy."Oh!" I said pretending to be surprised.I pretended to cover my mouth before speaking again."You did? Maybe I didn't hear that," I said."You're just taking revenge on me. Well, congratulations. Your revenge was a success," Damian told me.I couldn't stop laughing at what he said so I shook my head while they both of them just looked at me."I'm professional when it comes to work, Sir. So, why would I do that?" I said and then laughed sarcastically."You should be thankful because I was not affected too much, but if I was affected badly I will sue you," he told me.I kept smiling because I could see the annoyance on his face. He deserves what I did because he almost hit me earlier. If the collision had continued with me, my daughter might not have a mother!"Do you know those two, Kali?" Annie asked me."No, but they were the only ones who almost ran into me earlier," I answered.I went back to the kitchen because I didn't want to talk to those two men anymore. They just ordered a new one and I told Annie not to add any spices."Really? They're both handsome! I just saw them here today so I'm sure they live in the other city," said Annie.I didn't speak because I didn't care even though they're new customer here."I think I have a crush on one of them," Annie said then giggled some more.I just rolled my eyes while doing other work in the kitchen."You shouldn't waste your time with men like that. Yes, they're rich and handsome but they'll just fool you in the end," I told her one after the other."You're so bitter, Kali! Why don't you try to have a boyfriend again? It's like you're not bitter in other people's relationships," she said suggestively."That's not gonna happen and I'm not bitter about other people's relationships. I'm just telling the truth. There are no decent guys, especially nowadays!" I reasoned.Annie didn't argue with me anymore and just let me have my point of view. I'm not really bitter towards the couples I see. In fact I am happy for them but I just can't help but think that their partner will cheat at the end.I was seventeen when I gave birth to Agatha. I was still pregnant with her when my ex-boyfriend, my daughter's father left me for another woman. He also didn't accept Agatha because he was afraid of responsibility, that's why when that happened in my life, I promised that I would never open my heart to someone else again. I don't want to come to the point of my life to be hurt too much because I fell in love with a man again.That night I just had dinner with Aunt Cindy and my daughter Agatha. After our dinner, we decided to go home to the apartment where my daughter and I were staying.The next day I took Agatha to the mall so we could bond. Even though I had already bought her some other things from other countries, I took her shopping for the two of us. That's why I'm scrambling to work to buy what she wants. I am happy for her because even though I almost spoil her, she knows how to be content at the age of four.I can't deny that every now and then, especially when she sees family while we're walking in the mall, she asks why there's something missing between the two of us. She also always asks Eunice where her father is whenever I'm not around. I can provide everything for her except that she has a Father, because I will never introduce her father who has never been recognized her as his daughter.It hurts me every time he asks where her father is, that's why I always remind her that I will only tell her when she grows up. That is the reason why she often drinks her milk because she thinks she will grow up fast if she drinks milk.I think Agatha and I spent the day at the mall and had dinner there as well. We were both tired when we got home, so I gave her a bath right away so she could rest that night. I quickly put Agatha to sleep because she was also tired from our activities during the whole day. I was also about to sleep that night but Rein, my friend suddenly called me. She asked me if we could swap shifts for the next day. My next flight is next week, but since I couldn't say no to Rein, I agreed with her."I wish I could be the perfect daughter."I woke up the next day because of Agatha's singing. She is watching Moana again and she has almost mastered the song there using her Ipad. I didn't realize that she woke up before me."That's too early, Agatha."My daughter ignored me because she was busy singing even though her words were slurred. Before I finally left the bed, I kissed her many times on the face. I just cooked fried rice, ham, eggs, and hot dogs. I also made a vegatable salad for Agatha because she likes it. That's the thing we don't have in common because I don't like to eat vegetables."Mommy is leaving again tomorrow. Where do you want to go today?" I asked her while we were eating."Leaving too soon, Mommy?" she asked innocently."Yeah. Mommy has to make money for us," I answered.If it's really possible to not leave her side, I will do it but I know it's impossible. Another thing is that I promised her that on her fifth birthday we will celebrate at Disneyland."Beach us with aunt Eunice, Mommy. Please?"s he said then pouted.She's so cute every time she does that so who wouldn't grant her request, right?That morning, I immediately called Eunice to see if she was free because she wanted Agatha and I to go to the beach together. It's a good thing that Eunice is free so I immediately arranged the things that we will take to the beach.We weren't far from the beach, I think it was only an hour's travel to get there, but this Agatha fell asleep on the car."You really don't even intend to rest?" Eunice asked me."This is what I call rest. Being able to be with you two means I can rest. Especially with this little girl," I answered.We serviced Eunice's car and she also drove. I know how to drive and I also got a driver's license because I sometimes deliver orders from online to restaurants."So, do you have a flight again tomorrow?" Eunice asked me."Yeah, that's why I'm leaving Agatha with you again," I answered."That's perfect! I'm going to Phil's house tomorrow. She can play there with Phil's nieces!" Eunice said excitedly.I smiled because Phil was also helping Eunice to take care of Agatha. Phil is Eunice's fiance and he is so kind that's why I want him for my friend."I'm not yet ready when you have your own kids. Who will take care of Agatha while I'm on the flight?" I asked jokingly."Oh, no. Of course, I can still take care of Agatha. I treat that girl like my own child," said Eunice.I don't know what I did well to be blessed with such a friend like her. I really don't know what would happen to me without Eunice by my side.When we got to the resort, Agatha almost immediately wanted to go to the sea, so Eunice and I took her. My daughter is so happy that it is fun to watch hed. Her smile faded when she saw a father and daughter walking towards the sea. She just stared there and followed her gaze, which is why Eunice and I just looked at each other.Is that her Dad, Mommy?" Agatha asked me."Y-Yes, baby." I answered.Eunice and I looked at each other again and as if she saw that I needed help that's why she spoke."What do you want to eat, baby? Do you want something sweet?" asked Eunice, to stop Agatha from asking."Where's my Daddy? Why don't I have one?" she asked again.Even though Agatha's speech was a bit slurred, we understood it. I couldn't help but be hurt because of her questions to me."Let's go and eat first. They say there are many different flavors of ice cream inside!" Eunice said.She stood up and grabbed Agatha's hand to pull her back to the resort but she didn't pull her. I looked at my daughter and saw her frown while looking at me."Where's my Daddy?" she asked.I looked up at Eunice and she just shook her head. I took a deep breath before I grabbed Agatha's two hands."Agatha, baby. Didn't I tell you that when you grow up I will tell you where your Daddy is?" I said calmly to her.She frowned so I snorted when I felt myself crying too. I just hugged her tightly to get rid of the sadness on her face.Soon, Agatha. You will also realize that you don't need a father because I will be enough for you.The next day, I left the apartment early to take Agatha to Eunice because my flight to Singapore and Singapore to Tokyo is early. It's also a long flight so it's definitely tiring but that's fine with me. As usual, Claire was with me the whole flight and some other cabin crew I know. While on the flight, I offered food to the passengers, then I returned to the galley to prepare their food orders. That's just my routine at work and I'm enjoying it. On long flights, we have a crew compartment where we can sleep, as long as we are not on duty. When we arrived in Singapore, our flight continued to Tokyo. It was a long flight and many passengers also ordered their foods. I was the one who served and as usual the passengers congratulated me and praised me because they said I was beautiful. I also couldn't avoid some foreigners who like to give me gifts. Some of them are our regular passengers and I happen to be one of the cabin crew when they fly. I don't accept what they give me because
"Kalilah. Right, it's you!" Anthony said. I can still see the shock in his eyes; his eyes are a little red, maybe because of the alcohol he drank. His lips parted as he looked at me as if amazed at what he was seeing."Do you know him, Kali?" Angelo asked me.I couldn't speak right away because even I was shocked by what was happening now. I knew Anthony and I would meet again, but I didn't expect it in this way and in this place.Anthony looked at me from head to toe, as if he had seen something very alluring. Of course he did. I'm in front of him now, and I know for myself that I'm beautiful."Is that really you? You look better now," he said in a disbelieving voice.Of course, I'm better now because my condition was very bad when we were together, especially when he left me alone while I was pregnant."Angelo, let's go," I said to Angelo.I had no intention of talking to Anthony or prolonging our interaction there, so it was better for me to just leave. Also, I don't have time to
I just did what I had to do in those days, and when it was over, I went shopping with my friends. As usual, everything I bought was just for Agatha, and I didn't buy anything for myself. After we finished shopping, we ate and rested in the afternoon before our long flight again.Claire almost had a hangover from their drinking last night, so she slept in the afternoon. I just tidied the room, and I tidied her other things because she said she had a headache. It's better for her to sleep now because she might not be able to do her duty properly later."Thanks, Kali. I'll just give you your food later in Singapore," she said when he woke up."No worries. How are you feeling? Do you still have a headache?" I asked her one after another."I feel much better now. It will disappear later when I take a shower again," she answered.I nodded and couldn't speak because someone rang the doorbell in our room. Claire and I looked at each other for a moment before I finally got up from the bed and
I couldn't quite imagine that Anthony was on the same plane with me for the entire flight. That's why I'm thankful that we made it to the Philippines and that I can relax with my daughter again."Thank you!" I said, smiling, to the passengers getting off.I just stopped, and the smile on my lips disappeared when Anthony stopped in front of me. He still looked at me in amazement; that's why I tried to smile at him."Thank you for flying with us, sir!" I said, smiling at him."Thank you, Miss Kali," he said before completely leaving there.When all the passengers got off, I almost suffocated while dragging my luggage."Did he ask for your number?"As usual, my fellow cabin crew, especially Claire, asked me the same question."Of course not!" I refuse them.They couldn't stop talking about Anthony, and they were really impressed with him. I just want to rolled my eyes there. If they only knew how manipulative and deceitful that man is, they might regret admiring him.We split up when we
I feel that the stress I feel has increased because of these men. First is Anthony, who tries to scold me, and then the blue-eyed man comes in second."Your new suitor?" Eunice asked me.A while ago, she was asking me about the man I talked to at the other table, and I didn't have a good answer to satisfy her because it was only the second time I interacted with that man."No, of course not! It's only the second time we've interacted," I replied."Wow! The beauty you have is really different," said Eunice, then grinned at me.I shook my head and rolled my eyes at her because I wasn't really interested in it.I looked again at the other table and saw blue eyes still looking at me. I just rolled my eyes again because he winked at me. My gosh! Why is he acting like that?"You two are good together! Why don't you give him a chance? He seem kind," Eunice suggested to me."Oh, come on, Eunice! Don't get involved with those people who ship me to that man. I don't have time for that," I answe
"I'll leave you here for now, Agatha. Behave while I'm gone," I told Agatha.We're at the restaurant now, and I'm going to leave her with Aunt Cindy because I'm taking care of some papers so I can enroll her in school. I can't take her with me because I have someone else to take care of her while I do something. Eunice is not also available because she is at work, so I will leave Agatha with my aunt Cindy first."Okay, Mom," she answered me in a small voice.I smiled and lightly patted her head before I looked up at Auntie Cindy."Don't worry about her, Kali. She always behaves so much when you're not around," she told me.I smiled again and nodded because I also knew my daughter. When I tell her to behave, she does; that's why I'm happy with her because she's obedient and knows how to understand."You take care of her first, Aunt Cindy. I'll be right back once I'm done," I said."No worry, Kali. Go ahead so you can finish what you have to do," Aunt Cindy answered me.There aren't man
"I'll take you home if that's okay with you," Roswell told me. We were able to tell Aunt Cindy that we were going home because it was late afternoon. She doesn't want to help me at the restaurant because they already have a lot of work there. She said that I should just spend my time with Agatha. "No, it's okay. It's still early. We'll just take a taxi," I answered him. I was nervous on the way out because we had to go through the dining room. I was still looking for Annie to ask if Anthony was still there, but I couldn't catch her. I was very grateful when we got out of the restaurant without seeing Anthony."Please, Kali," he pleaded. I was about to speak to say that I was not willing for him to take me and Agatha home again, but someone suddenly called me. "Kalilah!"When I realized who it was, my chest immediately heaved. What the hell?! I still thought he was gone! I panicked and looked at Agatha before Roswell. "A-Alright. You and Agatha get in the car first," I said to Ro
I just laughed at the nervousness I felt, then shook my head at him. Men are really good with these words."Why are you laughing? I'm serious, Kali. Even if you ask Damian," he said."Damian? That arrogant friend of yours? No way! I will never talk to him again!" I immediately complained to him.I remembered the day they almost ran me over on the road!"Alright, but what I'm saying is true. I find you interesting. I've only just interacted with a girl like you," he said."Of course! Someone like me is rare!" I answered him arrogantly and with a high forehead.He laughed a little and nodded as if he agreed with what I said. He sat up and then turned to me."I like your personality, Kali. So even if you haven't given me a chance yet, I will still force myself on you. I'll court you, even your daughter Agatha," he spoke again.I snorted because his voice was really serious while saying that. I don't want to laugh again because he might think I don't know how to talk properly. Also, I have
