Bridge Of Love – Episode 9

                     Isabella’s Pov

I gradually opened my eyes and looked around. 

I saw Kim near the bed I was lying, she was crying and wailing. 

Isay! Isay!! Thank goodness you are awake now… You got me so scared! Kim said as she hugged me and I forced a smile 

How did I get here? I asked trying to get up 

Well you were knocked down by a car, can’t you remember? And luckily the rich lady whose car hit you had you rushed to this expensive hospital and… Kim kept talking but she paused as the rich lady walked into my ward. 

Good day ma’am! I greeted her as she smiled at me faintly 

How are you doing now dear? She asked 

Am doing good ma’am! I said quietly 

I will go see the doctor in her office alright… She said as she turned to leave when suddenly the door threw open and mother rushed in with Nathan. 

You ingrate! Useless girl you made me loose my customer with your carelessness… I know for a long time that you are nothing but bad luck worthless piece of trash…. Mother yelled as she rushed to me and gave me a dirty slap as she dragged my long hair roughly. 

Am so sorry mother… I cried in pain as the annoyed rich lady quickly pushed mother aside to stop her from slapping and dragging my hair. 

Enough! Can’t you see that she’s not feeling well… The rich lady yelled at mother 

Do you want me to sue you? What kind of a mother are you? Your daughter had an accident and almost died all you do is to walk into her ward and hurt her? The lady asked in anger 

She can never be my daughter! She’s nothing but a trash baby… Mother said as tears circulated slowly in my eyes and rolled down 

Listen up Isabella! I will make you suffer for this, the customer who wants to buy the charcoal have refused to because she bought from another available source… Oh my goodness! I feel like ripping off your useless eyes right now, what am I gonna do? Holy crap! You are nothing but ill luck… Mother shouted at me as i broke down in tears 

Mother please stop it! You are hurting Isay with your words… Nathan said hugging me

Who cares? Mother said

Fine! I know it’s my fault she delayed the errand you sent her so for that reason am going to give you a job… The rich lady and mother’s eyes widened in surprise 

Really? You can take her, she’s useless to me anyways… Mother said 

I have a classy hotel where she can work as a waitress… The lady said 

Thank you so much ma’am… I said still in tears 

Just that the hotel is not located here in San Francisco, it’s in Manila… She said 

That’s far! I said but mother quickly dragged my mouth forcefully 

But I can give you an apartment and also pay you, let it be my way of apologizing for what happened… She said 

Uhmm… Ma’am please can I ask you for something? I said stammering 

Yes! She said 

Please can you also employ my friend Kim? I asked her as Kim pinched me in anxiety 

Alright! No problem… Here is my card!! She said as she handed a card to me 

I will foot the bill and you can call me when you are ready to come to Manila with your friend… excuse me and get well soon, once again am really sorry… She said as she patted my hair and walked out with her P. A

Useless bitch! Mother spat on me as she walked away 

As Nathan and Kim hugged me tightly consoling me.

I was on my way out of the hospital when suddenly i caught sight of somebody. 

Mommy! Let’s go… A cute little girl who ran past me said as she rushed to the garage 

Am so happy you are well now Audrey baby… her mom said as she walked out of the car. 

my eye widened in shock… 

Isn’t that Daisy? That’s Andrew’s sister! So she’s married now and she has a daughter… A cute little daughter and made me loose my child.. I thought in annoyance as i wore my eyeglasses properly including my hood so that she won’t recognize me. 

Hi dear! I said pretentiously

Ooh how may we help you lady? Daisy asked as she looked at me with a smile probably because she saw I was looking rich. 

I love your little girl, she reminds me of my daughter… I said forcing back tears 

Awwwnnn… Audrey say hi to auntie… Daisy said sweetly 

Hi auntie! I love your hair… She said and I laughed 

That’s sweet of you baby! I said 

Where are you heading to? Daisy asked 

To Manila! That’s where i live… I said 

Really? What a coincidence! That’s where we live too… my husband and I including baby Audrey lives there  …she said 

Wow! Can I get your phone number or better still your card.. I can visit you some of these days… I said nicely 

Sure! She said as she handed her card to me and i smiled warmly 

And you are? Daisy asked 

Uhmm… Vanessa, Vanessa Cruz… I said as she smiled broadly 

And am Daisy Sebastian Sanchez… Sanchez is my husband’s name… she said as i chuckled 

That’s nice… See you some other time… I said as i pecked Audrey and hopped into my car and drove off with little Audrey waving at me. 

“An eye for an eye Daisy Sebastian! Little Audrey I never really want to add you to this but a child for a child… I will make you feel three times the pain I felt when I lost my Nana and when I lost my little baby “Idrianna” and I never really got to see or hold her so Daisy I will make sure you are going to feel all my pains, watch and see! I thought as tears rolled down from my glasses as i quickly picked up a handkerchief and wiped it off.

Aunt Best! Nicole screamed in delight as he rushed to me and hugged me. 

Oh my little Nick is now a man.. I smiled broadly as i embraced him 

Nicole is actually Amy’s son and he has been like a child to me. 

Imelda! Amy rushed out of the mansion and we ran into each others arms in excitement 

Keep it down bestie! Am no longer that Imelda Rodriguez that was stepped on and bullied by people, I am now Vanessa Cruz… The rich and famous, influential lady and the only defeat for the Sebastian’s. 

I am the unknown! I laughed as Amy hugged me again 

Finally Imelda I mean Vanessa you will be able to get the justice you long desired… Amy said as we held hands and walked into the magnificent mansion.

                     Isabella’s Pov

I packed my clothes into a bag,  I was so lost in thought. 

“Which kind of life awaits Kim and I in Manila? How are we going to survive in Manila? Oh God! Dear God please lead us safely and give us a good future… I said my silent prayer as i picked up my camera 📷 

I held my cheek and smiled… The camera is just reminding me of a resounding slap given to me by a rich kid… I chuckled 

I was about to leave the room when Nathan rushed into the room. 

Here Isay! Your bead necklace… He said and handed a necklace to me 

Thank you Nathan! Am really going to miss you so much… I said we ran into each others embrace in tears…
