Luna Morgan woke up from her sleep hours later, she was feeling more energetic and whole but was feeling hungry and she saw no one in her ward when she woke up, so she just laid down there, gazing at the ceiling.

The door to the ward opened not quite long and the junior nurse, whose name was nurse Naya entered with a tray of food with her.

“I know that you will be hungry when you wake up, so I brought you food and I hope you will like it.” Nurse Naya dropped the food on the table and helped Luna to sat up.

She carried the tray and dropped it on Luna’s laps. “Go on eat. The woman is here, she will be inside here in a minute or two.” She said and stood up to leave.

“Where are you going?” Luna asked as she immediately picked up the spoon and started eating.

“I’m not meant to be here when you both are discussing so just enjoy.” Nurse Naya said and left.

“Well, there’s food so its okay.” Luna said and started eating hungrily.

The ward’s door and a petite woman entered. Luna looked up at her, she looked like someone in her last thirties and her pretty face was glaring, her round and beautiful big eyes beautified her oval face, with her tiny red lips and her long artificial eyelashes calling out for attention, the only thing looking quite abnormal in her was her statue, her short height and her slim body.

“Hi, I can see that you are already okay and I’m sure that you must have heard a lot or less about me. Call me Cassy, what is your name?” She greeted and made herself comfortable on the chair beside Luna’s bed.

“Hi madam Cassy, I’m Luna, Luna Morgan, you must be the woman that saved me. Thank you so much, I’m really grateful.” Luna appreciated.

Cassy laughed then leaned closer to Luna, her glance landed on her face. “What if I tell you that I don’t do appreciation? I believe in repayment to appreciation.”

Luna gulped, her glare on her was domineering, causing Luna to remember Rebecca. “She is like stepmother.” She thought and gulped again, trying to keep her emotions at bay.

“I don’t understand a thing you are saying madam.” Luna said and stuffed a spoonful of food into her mouth, to keep herself from yelping out as Cassy drew more closer to her.

“Think Luna, I don’t speak Spanish, I thought you will understand me without me repeating myself but it seems you don’t.” Cassy said and relaxed back on her seat, watching as Luna released her breath, she chuckled. “Don’t tell me that you are scared of me.” Cassy laughed.

Luna stared at her without replying her, the food she put inside her mouth got stuck as she stared at Cassy.

“Come on eat your food, don’t see me as a bad person, I just wanted to make you see that I always keep to my words and I am not the type that pretend to be who I’m not. So eat, we will talk when you are done eating.”

Luna nodded as she gently ate her food, the food had turned sour in her mouth but she was hungry, she drank water when she was done with it and braces herself up for the ‘interrogation section’ as she tagged it.

“How old are you?” Cassy said immediately she saw that Luna was done.

“I’m 18 years old.” Luna answered without difficulties.

“Your parents?” Cassy further asked, folding her hands on each other.

“Dead.” She simply replied.

“I learnt that you are pregnant.” Cassy asked her main question.

“Yes I am.” Luna simply replied her.

“Who is the father?” She asked.

Luna thought that Cassy was beginning to pry in her personal life, so she replied, “I would rather keep that piece of information to myself.”

Cassy Shrugged, “Not like I really want to know any of the information about you, I only want to be sure that no one will accuse me of child abuse when you start paying back your debt.”

“Now I’m lost madam, which debt? I have never borrow in my life and now, I don’t think that I’m owing. One cannot owe without borrowing right?” Luna asked, she was obviously confused.

“Which debt? That’s a really good question Luna. Now listen, I told you that I don’t collect appreciation after helping someone, I always love to be paid back and that’s what I want. I saved your life with my money, I brought you here, paid for the ward you slept in, paid for the water and blood they transferred to your body, paid for the oxygen, paid for the food you ate with your children for a whole week and you thought that ordinary thank you will pay the debt? You must be kidding me!”

Luna was speechless, “Is this how all humans behave so stingy?” She wondered, staring at Cassy with a pained eyes.

“Don’t stare at me like that, gather your mind together and let’s discuss on how you will pay me back but if you don’t want to pay me then its okay, thank God we are still in the hospital, I will request for a refund of my money and you will plead with the management that you don’t have a dime with you, I bet they will understand.” Cassy relaxed on her chair. “You are having only one minute to decide.”

“How much is the debt?” Luna asked, gulping down emptiness, she dreaded the price that Cassy will call.

“A million dollars.” She replied nonchalantly.

Luna widened her eyes in astonishment, “A million dollars is a huge money.” She thought, feeling so down. “How is it a million dollars? Remove the food payment out of the price. After all my babies and I didn’t ate for six days, we only started eating today.” She negotiated.

Cassy chuckled, “Do you think that your children can survive six days without food? You must be kidding me, they were being fed everyday, the food was passed to them through the injections giving to you and don’t fuck with me, your one minute elapse already.” Cassy stood up to leave.

“Where are you going madam Cassy?” Luna asked her.

“I’m going to request for a refund.” She said, already opening the door.

“But I have not say that I will not pay you back your your money because I will pay you. I will work hard and pay you back every dime.” Luna didn’t even wanted to imagine the kind of embarrassment she would face in front of everyone in the hospital if Cassy asked for a refund.

“Oh really?” Cassy turned back to stared at her.

“Yes, all I need right now is to seek for a job and I will pay you back, just be patient with me.” Luna pleaded.

“How sure am I that you won’t think of running away from me?” Cassy asked but Luna was speechless. “Come work for me in my house. My husband won’t mind, in fact, he will love you since you are beautiful and all. Come work for me.” Cassy said and walked out of the ward without waiting for Luna’s reply.
