3rd

After that, she completely leaved. Good thing there’s a taxi outside their subdivision. It was an old man, maybe around 60s or 70s.

“Child, where should I drop you?” the old man asked.

“Ahm, take to the near bank Grandpa where there’s 24/7 ATM machine” she answered.

When they arrived she go out then said, “Grandpa, can you wait for me? I just need to cash out some money”

“Of course” he answered.

She swiped her card then put her pin. She cash out five hundred thousand pesos, half of her trust fund amount. Gonna use it wisely. After that, she go back to the taxi. The old man was felt awkward and intimidated as he saw the huge amount of money.

“Now grandpa, take me to an orphanage you know that was far from this city” she said.

Without any thoughts the old man start driving away from the city, it took them 3 hours drive so basically they arrived at 6 in the morning. She give the old man 30 thousand pesos for her fare.

“But this money is more than enough, lady”, the old man said as he try giving back the money but Jane held his hand and answered.

“I know, grandpa. I give that amount of money for my fare and also to help you even if you don’t tell me I know you have a problem in your home. Look, an old man at your age should be resting and sleeping comfortably in your home at this hour not waking up at 3 a.m. and start finding money. So please take it.”

The old man can’t say no because true enough, he have a financial problem facing at that time. When the old man goes back to the city, she enters the orphanage. She was welcomed by Mother Teresa, the one who handle the orphanage for a long time. The owner of the orphanage is Mr. Ruiz, the father but they heard that the orphanage was under his sons' supervision. But the man wasn’t always there so Mother Teresa takes place.

“Good morning, Miss. How may I help you?”

“Mother, I need a place to stay. Can I stay here even for a month?” she asked.

Mother Teresa nodded her head and guides her until they reach the room in the backyard. The children playing with their toys stopped and looked at them. Maybe they are wondering who I am. They entered the room; it has minimal designs with black and white theme. It looks like a guys' room. Before she could asked Mother Teresa talk.

“Its Mr. Mercadejas son’s room, he’s not here so for the main time you can use this. His in New York, next month will be his return”

She just nod her head and thanks for the kindness Mother Teresa showing. She enters and close the door, she hold the doorknob tightly and the other hand is on her head as her headaches attacked. As days pass, her condition become worst.

Arggghhh!!!! Shhhh No, not again. I don’t have enough arrrrghhh shit shit shit! I need to hurry.

She get her pain killers inside her shoulder bag and eat it without any water, the sour flavor of the medicine doesn’t have any effect on her. She take it as if they are just candies. When she feel that her body can take it, she stand up and start putting her things in the right places.

After that, she go to Mother Teresa’s office. She talked about her plans on donating 400 thousand pesos in the orphanage for the cancer patients and her reasons why. I doesn’t want them to be like me, no attention from their parents, doesn’t feel loved by their own parents. I know they we’re left behind by their biological parents but having a lot of Mother and Sister guiding and helping you until you grow up is more than enough. I rather choose water than blood.

When they finished talking, Mother Teresa hug her and held her hand because according to her they’re going to eat their breakfast. It was a breakfast that full of laughs, at that moment her heart felt light. I wish time stop if only this kind of happiness I’ll get every day. Too late to regret Jane.
