Letters of the Lost Souls – 2

Mumma,

You are still in my prayers. After all, that is the only time I get when I can think of anything other than the humans or the chores in this house. I know you are very well aware of it since I had started this struggle ever since I was 15. It is been 27 years now. And you know the only raise I had got in these 20 years. I know you hate me now because I gave you no reasons when I chose to marry Philip. How much I wish to tell that I never had a choice, especially after that dreaded day. I wish I had listened to you that day and took the day off to visit Dad’s grave with you. But you know, he is the very reason I am in all this mess. After all, who else would push a young girl and his wife into the never ending pit of debts and choose the easy way out. Well, I really don’t hate Philip or even Sarah. They took me in and helped us through the tough times. Everyone was good to me, even Alvira and Shira. Yet, I wish… I wish I had listened to you and had not come to this house for work. I hope that you could forgive me… someday.

Love, Maria
