"Runo, have you finished packing your things?" I heard the voice of one of the nuns working in this orphanage outside of my bedroom, so I quickly opened the door and smiled at her.
"Yes, sister," I replied as I pulled my luggage out of the room I had used for nineteen years. I bid my goodbyes to everyone from the orphanage and rode a bus that passed by a terminal, where I'll be riding a cab to my new workplace.
I, Runo Kaelynn Alberona, have been an orphan since I was born. I haven't met any of my parents or siblings; all I have as parents are the nuns and priests caring for the other children, who became my siblings and me since we arrived in this orphanage.
And today is the day I must leave this place since I have already reached the age of nineteen and the legal age to work. I am no longer allowed to stay here. However, I only finished high school and didn't plan to attend college anymore due to financial problems. Hence, the Head-Nun sent me to work as a maid in a prestigious and wealthy family, the Lockhart family. I'll be staying there while working under the supervision of the four Lockhart siblings.
I have made up my mind. While working in that family, I have to earn enough money to start a business. Then, I will have a stable source of income for myself and enough budget to search for my biological parents, who left me in that orphanage nineteen years ago.
Starting now, I no longer have anyone to rely on except myself.
As I reminded myself of that reality, I took a deep breath and stared at the massive gate before me.
"You can do this, Kaelynn!" I cheered myself and pressed the doorbell, not knowing the secrets and mysteries behind that gate when I first stepped into the Lockhart's territory.
