Chapter 20 - Quitting Job? (1/2)

After the woman found me I was paralyzed there not knowing what to do.

I didn't know if I ran away or stayed to talk to her about it.

I have to talk to her about it, I didn't know the women here did things like that so I need to get out of here right away.

Maybe they want me to do that too and of course, I wouldn't.

”Do all women prȯstɨtutė here?” I asked the woman and covered my body with my arms, even though she was still ashamed to show my body to her like this.

”Well, we all do it because we want to, we're not forced into anything we're doing,” the woman said as she took the sponge to clean her body.

I was looking away because her body was all dirty, and I needn't say what she was dirty about.

”But why do you do that?” I asked with my voice a little loud, I didn't know why she was doing this, she was so beautiful and was wasting her beauty doing it.

I could imagine the reasons, she could be short of money at home and decided to do that.

After some time of silence, she decided to start telling her story.

##########

She is the only child of a very poor family.

She said that 2 months ago her mother caught a very serious disease without a cure, and to keep her alive she had to pay for very expensive medicinal herbs.

Working only in the kitchen she couldn't afford the medicine, so she found that the night here turned into a prostitution house so she asked the owner of the inn to work here too.

After that she started working here at night daily, she said she makes a lot of money from it and can take care of her parents who are already very old and unable to work.

She told this story with a sad face, she seemed to have suffered a lot because of her mother's illness.

She even had to sell her body for that reason, I can imagine the sadness she feels inside.

”Are you enjoying what you are doing?” I asked her as I held the hand to calm her down, she was shaking a little.

”Of course I'm not liking this, but I have no choice.” The woman couldn't take it all and started crying, she couldn't take it anymore, but that was the only way to keep her family well.

”You have to get out of here.” The woman said while holding my 2 arms tightly, she looked quite desperate.

After I asked her why she told me she wouldn't want to see me doing this kind of thing, I had to get out of here or that woman would make me prȯstɨtutė myself somehow.

”I'm going out, but you come with me,” I said as I took the woman's hand and pulled her out of the bathroom.

I had a life plan in the capital from now on, and this girl will help me and in return, I will help her family somehow, I can't stand to see her continue to suffer here.

”What's your name?” I asked as I dressed my clothes quickly.

”My name is Emily.” The woman said as she put on her skirt.

”Nice to meet you, my name is Lara.”
