Meeting You Again

Saffrina
Saffrina
PLEASE STOP!
Saffrina
Saffrina
You're hurting me!
Saffrina
Saffrina
Again...
Saffrina
Saffrina
I know that you don't care.
Saffrina
Saffrina
Actually you would never care.
Saffrina
Saffrina
It doesn't matter if I stay or not.
Saffrina
Saffrina
Because you don't love me anymore...
Saffrina
Saffrina
That Ivan which I knew was never like this.
Saffrina
Saffrina
Tho your past got worse and the reason was me...
Saffrina
Saffrina
I still deserved a chance.
Saffrina
Saffrina
To change your future.
Saffrina
Saffrina
To change your present.
Saffrina
Saffrina
To change you.
Saffrina
Saffrina
To change ourselves.
Saffrina
Saffrina
You broke my heart showing that I am not good enough for you at all!
Saffrina
Saffrina
I kept chasing you and you... you freaking kept running.
Saffrina
Saffrina
I kept shedding tears and you kept making me cry.
Saffrina
Saffrina
And now... I am trying my best to move on...
Saffrina
Saffrina
You're back again!!
Saffrina
Saffrina
With no intentions of loving me.
...
Saffrina
Saffrina
Maybe you all are just confused with my words.
Saffrina
Saffrina
Let me clear that confusion by telling you about my 5 years before the story.
Saffrina
Saffrina
5 years ago I got a job as a babysitter for a young girl, Isabella.
Saffrina
Saffrina
It was just the starting of the worst and then I got to know that she has an ' elder brother ' named...
Saffrina
Saffrina
Ivan.

Landlord
The money which you give for rent isn't much and I am getting more money from others, so someone else is going to come here to live.

After a huge argument, Saffrina gives that money to the landlord and asks for some time for packing.
Saffrina
Saffrina
That old man!
Saffrina
Saffrina
I hope that now he's satisfied!
Saffrina
Saffrina
Now the problem is that...
Saffrina
Saffrina
Where to live?
Saffrina
Saffrina
I never had many friends... My old classmates just roll their eyes looking at me and my poor income.
Saffrina
Saffrina
My only friend, Amy is the only friend I have.
Saffrina
Saffrina
I know her boyfriend won't let me live with her.
Saffrina
Saffrina
As I lived at their house for more than 6 months.
Saffrina
Saffrina
Ugh!
Saffrina
Saffrina
And my idiot boyfriend...
Saffrina
Saffrina
He never picks his call.
Saffrina
Saffrina
And the hella point is I don't even know where he lives.
Saffrina
Saffrina
I know it doesn't make any sense.
Saffrina
Saffrina
But he never lets me know...
Saffrina
Saffrina
He starts to fight with me...
Saffrina
Saffrina
And I am scared to lose him.
Saffrina
Saffrina
That's why I keep myself shut.
Saffrina
Saffrina
I should better call Amy.

I hope that she'll help me at some point.
Saffrina calls Amy.

Suddenly Saffrina hears a familiar voice behind the walls.
...
...
How many times do I have to tell you to take care of the flowers well??
Saffrina

(This voice...)
Saffrina peeks a bit to see who's that guy.

Episode 2 : Everyone Changes
Saffrina
Saffrina
(This can't be happening...)
Saffrina
Saffrina
(Is he Ivan?)
Saffrina
Saffrina
(I still remember how bad he looked before.)
Saffrina
Saffrina
(Maybe I am mistaken.)
Saffrina
Saffrina
(I should hurry up for my interview.)
Saffrina rings the door bell.
Suddenly a strange feeling comes to her making her feel that someone is behind her.
Ivan
Ivan
Who are you?
Saffrina
Saffrina
(Shit...)
Ivan was standing behind her without knowing who she is.
Ivan
Ivan
Oh, maybe you're the new babysitter who's here for an interview!
A maid opens the door.
Ivan moves forward and leaves without looking at her.
Saffrina
Saffrina
(From his voice and face...)
Saffrina
Saffrina
(Yup! He is really Ivan.)
Anna
Anna
Saffrina?
Saffrina
Saffrina
Yeah..?
Saffrina
Saffrina
Hello mam! *Bows.*
Anna
Anna
Hello.
NovelToon
Saffrina
Saffrina
(She looks a little weak...)
Saffrina
Saffrina
(And even nervous.)
Anna
Anna
I am Anna Smith!
Saffrina
Saffrina
Oh, hello Mrs Smith!
Saffrina
Saffrina
I am Saffrina Stone... I-
Anna
Anna
Yes, I know.
Anna
Anna
Please come in.
Saffrina
Saffrina
..
Saffrina
Saffrina
Yes, mam!
Saffrina enters into the house and looks around.
Saffrina
Saffrina
(Whoa!! This is unbelievable! This house is so huge inside!)
Saffrina
Saffrina
(The furniture... It looks too expensive!)
Saffrina
Saffrina
(I wonder from where do these people get such money.)
Anna
Anna
Have a seat Saffrina.
..
Anna
Anna
Okay so, let's get into the point.
Anna
Anna
As you know I want to hire a good lady who will be able to take care of my daughter and my house.
Anna
Anna
Taking care of my daughter is easy. She isn't like other kids who are mischievous.
Anna
Anna
But there's another issue.
Anna
Anna
And because of that I am not getting a chance to hire a babysitter.
Anna
Anna
I have an elder son.
Saffrina
Saffrina
...
Saffrina
Saffrina
(Don't tell me that he is...)
Anna
Anna
His name is Ivan.
Saffrina
Saffrina
*Freezes.*
Anna
Anna
He is always busy in his stuffs and hardly spends time with us.
Anna
Anna
I urgently have to take my leave to another state.
Anna
Anna
And I have my doubts that whether Ivan will take good care of my daughter or not.
Saffrina
Saffrina
You want me to babysit your son who's nearly my age too?
Anna
Anna
No, no!
Anna
Anna
I am saying that he will hire you.
Saffrina
Saffrina
What?!
Anna
Anna
Last time I hired 3 babysitters for my daughter.
Anna
Anna
They robbed the precious items.
Anna
Anna
And my son is the only one who earns money.
Anna
Anna
So he's little... You know? He gets mad when his money is used for any waste.
Anna
Anna
He gives his much time in earning money and spending on my medical needs and my Isabella's {daughter's} education.
Anna
Anna
He told me that there's no need for anyone to take care of my Isabella.
Anna
Anna
Ivan can take care of himself but my daughter is just 6 years old and she trusts people easily.
Saffrina
Saffrina
I see...
Anna
Anna
I am asking you to take care of my house and family.
Anna
Anna
Just you have to do is to cook, clean, teach my daughter like a tutor, play with her, wash clothes.
Saffrina
Saffrina
(She thinks that it's less or something?)
Saffrina
Saffrina
(It's too much!!)
Saffrina
Saffrina
(I don't even cook for myself then how am I going to cook for others?)
Saffrina
Saffrina
If you don't mind...
Anna
Anna
Oh, don't worry!
Anna
Anna
You'll be living here for 5 months.
Anna
Anna
Soon, I'll be here after 5 months and then, you can take your leave.
Saffrina
Saffrina
(Maybe after 5 months I will get my total salary and even my books will be sold.)
Saffrina
Saffrina
(Yes!)
Saffrina
Saffrina
Sure, mam.
Saffrina
Saffrina
Just wanted to ask you about the salary...
Anna
Anna
Talk with Ivan for this.
Anna
Anna
He's in the next room, wait I will call him.
Saffrina
Saffrina
Fine, mam.
After 2 minutes.
Ivan
Ivan
Yes, mom?
Anna
Anna
Look Ivan, this is Saffrina Stone.
Anna
Anna
You remember Carl? His girlfriend is her friend.
Anna
Anna
What do you think about her?
Ivan takes a glance at Saffrina.
Ivan
Ivan
Mom, I thought that you were searching for a babysitter.
Ivan
Ivan
Who could be a decent one.
Ivan
Ivan
Why did you bring a homeless girl here?
An awkward silence was spread.
Anna
Anna
*Breaking the silence* Ivan is this the way you'll speak to someone who was kicked out?
Ivan
Ivan
Then why don't you ask herself that why she was kicked out?
Saffrina
Saffrina
*Speaks in between.* It was because of my money problems.
Ivan
Ivan
Did I ask you to speak?
Saffrina
Saffrina
...
Ivan
Ivan
Who knows that in the hunger of money, you'll steal our belongings?
Saffrina
Saffrina
Excuse me?
Saffrina
Saffrina
Why would I?
Ivan
Ivan
Do you have any hearing problem?
Ivan
Ivan
I said 'who knows' before.
Saffrina
Saffrina
...
Anna
Anna
Oh my God, Ivan! Stop it!
Ivan
Ivan
Mom, she's rejected.
Anna
Anna
*Whispers.* Ivan, think again. I know that her condition isn't well but you know that we urgently need a babysitter.
Anna
Anna
I can't wait longer for this.
Anna
Anna
You know how important it is for me to leave.
Ivan
Ivan
Do I look that careless to you?
Ivan
Ivan
Ain't I matured enough to take care of my little sister?
Ivan
Ivan
And there's no need to whisper!
Anna
Anna
Ivan!
Anna
Anna
You never try to understand me at all!
Anna
Anna
I accept that it was my mistake but -
Saffrina
Saffrina
*Enjoys the drama.*
Ivan
Ivan
Why are you adding personal things in front of a nobody?
Ivan
Ivan
Can't you see that she's enjoying the whole drama?
Saffrina
Saffrina
I am not!
Ivan
Ivan
Shut up!
Ivan
Ivan
We don't need you, leave!
Saffrina
Saffrina
Mister, what's your problem?
Saffrina
Saffrina
I am here for a job.
Saffrina
Saffrina
I ain't going to take your money without working.
Ivan
Ivan
Don't you understand? Just leave!
Saffrina
Saffrina
What is your problem?
Saffrina
Saffrina
Why are you being so rude?
Saffrina
Saffrina
You don't want me to work here, right?
Saffrina
Saffrina
Well that's not my problem.
Ivan
Ivan
-_-
Ivan
Ivan
Mom!
Anna
Anna
Shut up, Ivan!
Ivan
Ivan
Why are you taking her side...?
Anna
Anna
It's declared that Saffrina will be working here for 5 months.
Anna
Anna
Ivan, show Saffrina her room and tell her what she needs to do.
Ivan
Ivan
But why don't you -
Ivan's mother kisses Ivan's cheeks with a pleasant smile and gets back to her room.
Saffrina
Saffrina
...
Saffrina
Saffrina
So...
Ivan
Ivan
Why are you here?
Saffrina
Saffrina
Ofc, for a job.
Ivan
Ivan
I don't think so.
Ivan
Ivan
Why don't you find any other place to live at?
Saffrina
Saffrina
I don't have that much money to...
Ivan
Ivan
Enough!
Ivan
Ivan
I know how is your real nature.
Ivan
Ivan
Just remember one thing, only once you can fool someone, not twice.
Ivan
Ivan
Ask the maid to show your room and your stuffs.
Ivan
Ivan
And yes, I want a good lunch.
Ivan
Ivan
Something which is healthy.
Ivan
Ivan
And that also homemade.
Ivan
Ivan
Outside food isn't allowed.
Saffrina
Saffrina
Okay, but when did I fool you...?
Ivan leaves without looking at Saffrina.

Thanks. (Phew! I really hate the work of shifting, I am glad that she agreed to help me.)

Ivan, please come in.
Ivan
Ivan
Why did you appoint her?
Ivan
Ivan
You know I hate strangers a lot.
Anna
Anna
Yes I was also thinking same.
Anna
Anna
You hate strangers, but you still looked at her in a different way.
Ivan
Ivan
Huh?
Ivan
Ivan
Nothing was different.
Anna
Anna
C'mon, Ivan! I know you very well.
Ivan
Ivan
Why are you changing the subject? I asked you why did you appoint her?
Ivan
Ivan
I was rejecting everyone because I wanted to live alone with my little sister.
Ivan
Ivan
But you... You always pour water on my plans!😑
Ivan
Ivan
I even rejected Saff, but...
Ivan
Ivan
I mean Saffrina...
Ivan
Ivan
But you completely left me with her saying that she's hired.
Ivan
Ivan
Do you know anything about her?
Anna
Anna
No, but I felt something different.
Ivan
Ivan
LOL!
Ivan
Ivan
Yes, she's different. A vixen disguised as a human.
Anna
Anna
You're bad at cracking jokes.
Ivan
Ivan
I am not joking!
Anna
Anna
So what do you know about her?
Anna
Anna
Wait, is Saffrina your old classmate? When you were in High School, you always talked about her.
Ivan
Ivan
No way! I don't know any Saffrina. *Lies*
Anna
Anna
Fine, I believe you.
Anna
Anna

Ivan
Yeah, Katrina!! *Rolls eyes.*
Anna
Anna
You're doing this intentionally.
Ivan
Ivan
Whatever, so I was saying that did you tell her that the maid isn't going to be here for some months?
Anna
Anna
Oh shi*! I forgot that!
Anna
Anna
Please inform her about that or else she would be thinking that the maid will help her with her work.
Ivan

Ivan
(Wow!)
Ivan
Ivan
Sure mom, I will inform her. (Heh! I will never.)
Anna
Anna
Thanks, dear!
Meanwhile in Saffrina's room.
Saffrina
Saffrina
Okay! So I learnt how to light up the gas, how to boil milk, how much sugar is needed for 1 cup of coffee and how much spoons of coffee is needed.
Saffrina
Saffrina
Phew!
Saffrina
Saffrina
This video took my 10 minutes.
Saffrina
Saffrina
Hmm... My 3 minutes were wasted in ads.
Saffrina
Saffrina
Well, I shouldn't worry a lot as the maid can also help me...
Saffrina
Saffrina
I should sit freely without taking any tension.😄
Saffrina
Saffrina
But...
Saffrina
Saffrina
I should accept Ivan has changed a lot.
Saffrina
Saffrina
Everyone has changed.
Saffrina
Saffrina
All my old friends have a stable future.
Saffrina
Saffrina
Some are designers, professors, even one of my friends is working as an HR.
Saffrina
Saffrina
And Ivan... I wonder what he does to earn money.
Saffrina
Saffrina
What if I check his name on Google 😅?
Saffrina
Saffrina
But I know he wouldn't be that famous that his name will appear there.
Saffrina
Saffrina
But what's wrong in checking?
Saffrina
Saffrina
He looks rich maybe his name will come...
Saffrina checks on google about Ivan.

And a guitarist??
Saffrina
Saffrina
He is so popular...
Saffrina
Saffrina
I don't listen rock songs...
Saffrina
Saffrina
Maybe that's why I never heard his name at all...
Saffrina
Saffrina
I never thought that he could be that popular...
Saffrina
Saffrina
Maybe I am the only one who's remained as a failure.
