Expelled<\/strong><\/p>\n

The money I left with had long since run out. The small advance they gave me was also running out. According to the contract, I was supposed to receive my salary for July by mid-August. I called Iveto and asked her for a 50 euro loan. She was returning to Bulgaria with her boyfriend around the time I was going to leave. The days passed slowly. To my surprise, Ani also announced that she was leaving. We decided to travel together and started looking for tickets. The plane tickets were 250 euros each, an amount that was too much for both of us. The bus was the only option left. A two-day trip in the hellish summer heat was not the best option, but it turned out to be the only one, not to mention the most difficult to get. It turned out that there were no seats! Naturally, in the first days of August everyone was returning home. We found tickets in two companies, but only one each. And we had firmly decided that we would travel together. We were lucky though, and one afternoon we managed to buy the last two tickets to Sofia. 95 euros per person. Quite expensive, but we had no choice.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Dora returned. I liked her. A meek woman, suffering, with a scattered family. However, there was nowhere to sleep. There were only three beds in the apartment, and there were four of us. When asked why she was returning earlier than planned, she only mumbled something, but did not give me a clear answer. The apartments were paid for by the Rat. We paid for our electricity, water, gas, communications. It came out relatively cheap, because of the gas. I had paid by the end of July in advance, we had an agreement that if there was anything to pay extra, and there probably would be, Milena would deduct it from my salary. In other words - I was supposed to sleep in the apartment. Yes, but Milena and Venera decided otherwise. And they told me one morning that I had to move somewhere else for the last four days.<\/p>\n

Are they crazy!? Or are they playing a fat joke\u2026 It wasn't a joke, I had a cousin\u2026 as if she owed me. I explained that the girl was living in her boyfriend's apartment, he wasn't even her husband at the time. In the end, I called Iveto and she told me that there was no problem for her or Diego, but for three days. They were leaving a day earlier than me and there was no way they would let me sleep alone in their apartment. Of course. But\u2026 I was settled for three days.<\/p>\n

I packed all my luggage and in the hottest midday heat, I dragged suitcases and bags with luggage for three months through the dusty streets of Padua. And the apartment wasn't close. There was a bus there, but then I couldn't use it for work. So I decided to walk to see the way. She sent me a location and I set off. Alone. Ani had gone out somewhere, and Venera and Dora didn't even deign to help me carry my suitcases out onto the street. An hour and a half later I arrived. The apartment was in a very nice neighborhood, in the modern part of the city, while I was in the historic center. My path passed over a bridge and crossed a park. I unloaded, we ate, chatted, and then lay down to rest. I was going to sleep on the sofa in the living room. They left me a key and everyone went off on their assignments.<\/p>\n

Around 4 am we finished work and I slowly and wearily set off towards my new home. I didn't want to sit around Venus for another minute. Every time she was near me I felt like throwing up or hitting her. I despised her so much. I walked slowly through the deserted streets, it was dark. I reached the park and could barely drag my feet. There was still a little bit left, but after a whole night of hard work, walking another hour and a half on foot was disgusting. That's why I didn't even see the sleeping homeless man I tripped over. I almost fell into the river. Apparently I wasn't that big of a wimp. We both got scared, he yelled and chased me. How he runs with swollen legs and a body exhausted from fatigue is something only I know. I went home and went straight to bed. I didn't want to wake them up by stomping in the bathroom, which was next to their bedroom. I was going to take a shower later.<\/p>\n

I had already fallen asleep when Mitko called to check on me. When he heard about my midnight performances with the Paduan homeless man, he ordered me to go back to my old apartment and leave at some more decent hour, at least at dawn. I agreed. For three days, I rested for a while on the chair in the garden and dozed.<\/p>\n

Around five or five-thirty I would get up and set off for another hour and a half walk. There were no buses that early. I would pass by an early riser selling fruit and vegetables. A nice old man who asked me on my first morning what a girl was doing on the streets so early. I would buy coffee for the two of us, chat, and he would give me fruit. Despite the coffee, when I got home, I would fall asleep on the way to the couch.<\/p>\n

The second morning I set off for Iveto a little after 5 am. The streets were already bustling with people, I was impressed by a lady who came out of her house in a formal, business dress, with heels, took a bicycle out of the garage, put the heels in a bag, put on sneakers, jumped on the bicycle and set off. This cheered me up. I continued along a main street when I heard a bicycle bell ring. I turned around. A black man was grinning playfully at me and pretending to run me over. He started to tease me, in typical Italian fashion, and flirt. At 5 am! Man, at this indecent hour you don't stand a chance, unless you teleport me directly to my bed. Alone. I made out with him, then he went on his way, I went on mine.<\/p>\n
