Hire A Maid

Chapter Forty- Epilogue

My alarm rang into my ear. I groaned and sat up. I went to the bathroom and had my bath, after that I dressed up and went out of my private hostel to my car. I drove to the campus. I heard that we have an early morning orientation today which is really strange. This orientation is not even part of our calendar but it is compulsory for us to go.

My phone rang. I picked it from my bag and answered the call.

"Hello mom." I said as I put the phone on speaker and dropped my phone on my lap.

I focused on the road as I spoke to her.

"Hello, angel. Where are you?" She asked me.

"I am driving mom. I am on my way to school." I answered her.

"Oh!" She exclaimed. 

"You can't believe there is an urgent orientation I need to be in right now. I don't feel like going but I think it is important." I complained to her.

"If it is important, then I think you should be there. I will call you later. I hope you are well dressed." She said out of the blue.

"What do you mean by that?" I asked her.

"Ah... Hmm.. you know my new clothes will be arriving next week, so you should dress well so that you can advertise what I sell to your friends" she said. What she said I'd totally out of line but I still agreed with her anyway.

"Yes, I am well dressed." I answered her.

"Okay... Hmmm. That's nice. I got to go. Bye." With that she hung up.

What's wrong with her today? That's so usual of her. She has never called to ask if I am well dressed or not.

But I am well dressed, right? I wore a shirt and pants as usual.

I got to college, I got down from my car and went inside the campus but not before locking my car.

The hall is designed with different kinds of flowers, especially roses.

Why is it designed everywhere and why is it all so silent and empty?

It might be because of the orientation going on in school today.

I walked deeper into the Hall. Three boys of my age came to me and put a crown on my head.

What the fuck is happening?

They left instantly.

I stared at them speechlessly. One of Milly's friends, Reese, came to me and handed me a bunch of flowers.

She smiled at me as she left.

Cut the crap, I think all this is a dream because there is no way on Earth that Reese will smile at me. That's impossible. Everything is a dream. 

Another man came to me and asked:

"Can I ask you a few questions?" 

"Okay." I answered him absentmindedly.

"Do you have anyone you live with now?"

"Yes" I answered him.

"How much do you love him?" 

"I can't answer that, but I know I do love him my entire life."

"Do you love him enough to marry him?"

"Yes."

"Okay." He left with that. 

What the fuck is all this?

I removed the crown and threw it away.

"Excuse me, miss. Can you help us with taking a picture?" A lady walked up to me.
