The arrival of Sonia gladdened
Angela heart. She was delighted. Sonia on her own part played not only the
role of a maid. She felt much
comfortable around her madam; she just took Angela as her elder sister.
Sonia took charge of the household chores. She took charge of preparing the
meals. She even offered to wash the clothes instead of taking them to the
dry cleaner. She was in desperate need for money to support
her mother’s failing health. She was able to finish her secondary school but couldn’t go further to higher institutions because of lack of finance. So, since then, she has been looking for money through any possible means in order to keep living and support her mother
who was always sick.

David bumped into Sonia as he hurried out of his room with his briefcase. He was getting late for work.She fell down as
his body brushed her. “Oh.i am sorry. get up, give me your hand” David reached for
her hand to help get her up from the ground.
“Good morning sir.I was actually coming to tell you that your breakfast is ready” She announced as she got up from the ground. “I don’t think i can still have
breakfast. I have to attend an important meeting this morning and i am running out of time. Where is
your madam?” David was in a hurry.
“She is still sleeping” Sonia replied. She had a way of talking that made her
outstanding. Talking slowly and pronouncing every word to the end. David
made to Angela’s room to notice her of his early leaving because of an important meeting.
As David drove,he thought
within himself how Sonia handles the house duties as if she was actually a member of the family. She was in good
terms with both husband and wife. Angela had been right about bringing her in,he thought.
