The Spoiled Brat

Cecilia! Hurry, come quick! My voice boomed all over the house as the maid in
blue uniform scurried nervously towards me. She nervously fidgeted her apron tie as
she approached but to her surprise as I poured the cold lemon juice to her head and her
she froze to her spot not knowing what to do.
How many timed that I told you that on Tuesdays, I only have cantaloupe shake!
Gosh you are running my diet you stupid good for nothing help! I shouted at her not
caring about what she feels.
But Seorita, y-you t-told me l-last time that you..you wanted to change.. it to
lemon juice r- reason why I she stammered as he tried defending in incompetency
which earned a slap from me.
How dare you, answer me back?! You are blaming your ignorance on me! We
are paying you to do your work and you point the mistake back at me! As outrage as I
am, I grabbed her hair and yanked her down.
Ouch! Seorita, it hurts! Please let go she cried as she block my assaults on
her.
What is happening in here?! A loud voice interrupted our scene and I loosened
my grip on the hairs help and raise my eyes to my mom.
Hello Mama! This good for nothing hired ruined my day! We need to fire her and
look for competent helps with brains! I hysterically said as my mother comes closer and
help the Cecilia to stand up and inspect her which causes my eyebrows to rise.
Thats very inappropriate of you Nikki! There is in no way I raise you to abuse
our helps! You apologize to her right now for being so rude! My mom scolded.
What?! You are on her side without even listening to my side! I would never
apologize to her! Me? In her wildest dreams I exclaimed
Im quite sure the matter could be handles differently without hurting somebody.
Now, Celia please call Fely to clean this mess up and go change as well. Im sorry for
what my daughter has done to you. My mother apologetically nodded to Ceceila which
make my blood boils.
Yes Cecilia you go! I dont ever want see your ugly face again! I exclaimed
while the scared maid bowed her head low as she hurried to go the quarters. My mom
looked at me and pointed me to stay.
Nikki! I have received your card and why did you fail 3 of your subjects?!

Because I dont want to study, I mean why study hard and waste my time on
pointless boring subjects like how fast the sound travels when we have lots of money!
Its not like we would run out of money so technically I wont have to work meaning I
dont need to study. I said nonchalantly and started to browse my Instragam page on
my new Iphone 6s.
You dont understand, dont you? Money is nothing without education and good
attitude. I love you Nikki but I need to point it out to you that our life is good now yes, but
you would never know the future or we wouldnt know if our money will run out. The
economy nowadays is not good as it used to before and all of this means nothing if you
dont value it. Nikki, please you need to change your ways. You are our only daughter
and who will take over the company if you dont know anything.
Huh! Then we can hire any smarty pants out there to run the company and Ill
juts shadow them, it isnt that hard right? I got it figured it out. Im quite sure velocity isnt
needed in running the company. You are just worrying for nothing I huffed and headed
to my room without sparing my mother a second glance as she watched me with sad
eyes.
Thats me! Nicole Agnes Andrada, you must have heard the ring to it. Thats right
because I am famous. I am the only daughter of Allison and Nick Andrada, famous
business moguls all over Asia. Yes! We are millionaires! I get what I want with just a
quick snap of my fingers! Well some calls me a brat- a spoiled brat thats just because
they are jealous of me. Of course I have everything and someday I would inherit the
vast fortune of my parents But do I really?
Noooo! T-this cant be! There must be some mistake. You are just joshing with
me Attorney! I mean how can the vast fortune of my parents might me all gone?! So you
are telling me that I am broke?! NO! I shouted so hard that my throat hurts. Of course,
who wouldnt be hysterical? My parents died last week in a car accident and now our
attorney is telling me that our company is bankrupt and all I got is 20,000 in the bank!
Yes, Miss Andrada and I suggest you better use the money carefully. I need to
go now for I have another meeting. And the attorney left just like that.
But since I am me, I didnt listen to anybody. I spend my remaining money in
partying until I got nothing left. I watched all our property being forfeited by the bank
until I become homeless. I tried to ask help from my friends but they shrugged me off
like a nobody, like they dont know me, like I got some contagious disease. I cant find
any work because I didnt finish high school. I began to wonder the streets and the
glamorous Nicole Andrada is now a penniless homeless beggar. I reflected back to what
my mom said and I suddenly regretted everything. I wished hard that this was all a
nightmare and that I would wake up soon. I cried and cried so hard at the side of the
street hoping that everything will soon be alright.

I should have listened to my parents. They were so right. Im sorry Mom and
Dad for being a bad daughter. I wished I did study hard and do the right things. I love
you and I hope you forgive me. I dont know what to do anymore, I look up at the sky
hoping that they could hear me.
Seorita Nicole? What are you doing out here? A soft voice matched with a soft
tap on my shoulder cut me off from my self-pity.
Cecilia? Oh goodness Cecilia, its you! Im sorry Cecilia, I really am! I cried
hugging her tightly not caring that my dirty dress rubs on her.
Ive heard what happened to your parents. Are you okay? You dont look so
good. Come on inside, you need to eat. You lost so much weight, seorita. She guided
me inside a big house.
Stop calling me that, I am not rich anymore. Is this your house? I look around
and I can see that our situation has changes 360 degrees.
Yes this is my house now. Your parents have really given me a good salary and
a scholarship in one of the best schools in the city. I started my own business last year
and everything is looking good. Cecilia explained to me.
Oh thats nice to hear that you finished college. Im a mess Cecilia and I have
nothing and nowhere to go. Please hire me as one of your maids here and I promise I
will do good, please I beg you, I cried and then kneel down to her hoping that she will
be a little bit compassionate towards me.
Nikki, you dont have to kneel, dont worry I will help you but please promise me
that this time you will listen and do the right things. You will be my assistant and you will
also attend night class. Everybody deserves a second chance. Is that a deal She told
me as she helps me get up to my feet. She extend her hand for a hansdhake
Thank you, Cecilia! You dont know how much this means to me! I promise I will
change all my ways and to never be a spoiled brat again, I reached out her hand and
shake it sealing off our deal.

The End
