Revenge 86
It was a sunny day with a clear sky.
In an abandoned factory near a secluded fishing village, a thin girl carried a large hemp sack on her shoulders. She emptied the contents onto the groun empty mineral water bottles and discarded cardboard pieces.
“I still have some savings. With these, I won’t go hungry even if I’m out here for three months.”
Mayra had found a sheltered spot where she could sleep. She used cardboard and straw as her bed. After eating the leftover half piece of bread from th satisfied.
When she left, she took her identification documents with her, intending to save enough money to start a new life elsewhere.
Having eaten her fill, she drank the last sip of water from the half– empty mineral water bottle she found and wiped the food crumbs from the corners of her mouth with the back of her hand. After that, she began to prepa
Mayra had collected quite a few pieces of cardboard these days and found a place where she could stay relatively sheltered from the wind and
rain.
She tied all the cardboard pieces together with rope, put all the flattened mineral water bottles in a bag, and tied them together with the cardboard pieces
The weight of the cardboard pressed down on Mayra’s small frame as she walked out of the abandoned factory to the scrap collection station.
An old man in his 60s was on duty today. “Girl, you’ve collected quite a bit today.”
Mayra wiped the sweat off her face. “Sir, could you tell me how much these are worth?”
Chante he
“I’ve never seen you around here before. Did you just move here?”
Mayra nodded. “My parents are working. Since I have nothing to do, I figured I could help out at home.”
After the old man weighed the cardboard pieces and water bottles, he gave her 50 cents more than the actual value.
“Consider it a bonus for your hard work. Buy yourself an ice cream to cool down so that you don’t get heatstroke.
“Thank you, sir.”
Mayra tightly held the money in her hand. On her way back, she
encountered a little girl sitting on her father’s shoulders. The girl’s gaze met Mayra’s.
“Daddy, she looks dirty. She doesn’t like to shower, huh? Such a dirty cat.”
“Don’t talk nonsense. Quickly apologize, or you’ll have no candy tonight.” The little girl immediately apologized, “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have called you’ a d
“Sorry, Miss…”
In a panic, Mayra lowered her head and quickened her pace, leaving without saying a word. When she reached a small alley, she glanced back secretly.
The five–year–old girl dismounted from her father’s shoulders and ran happily. “Mommy…”
The woman picked up the little girl. “Sweetie, did you have candy again? Open your mouth and let me have a sniff.”
The little girl covered her mouth in shock. “I didn’t. I didn’t have candy.
Don’t spank me, Mommy.” Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
Mayra didn’t know what was going on with her, but tears welled up in her eyes as she watched the heartwarming scene. She turned away, not wanting to
Mayra had often wished for her parents to still be alive. But they had died when she was very young, and she didn’t even get a chance to see them. Their house had been sold to cover the funeral expenses.
With the 50 cents, she bought herself dinner and supper for the day.
On her way back, she comforted herself that being alone wasn’t so bad. She was meant to live alone, and she couldn’t rely on others forever.
Back at the abandoned factory, Mayra sat on the ground to rest for a while. Then, picking up the hemp sack, she planned to move to a different spot to collect scraps. But at that moment, she heard voices coming from outside the factory.
“This girl should be the one you’re looking for. She’s been staying here for several days. I didn’t say anything because I felt sorry for her. She doesn’t loo
The police had found her?
Did the man she fought with end up dead, and now they were coming to arrest her?
No, she didn’t want to go to jail. She didn’t want to be locked up again.
