THAT Past in the Brothel

Long ago, there's a woman that worked at the brothel. Then one day, she got pregnant by one of her customers.

The woman's belly was already big enough, and she didn't have a choice than to raise the child. So she took a day off from work and waited for the child to be born. So she waited and waited, month by month, as her belly grew bigger until she gave birth to it.

"Uwaa! Uwaa!"

She gave birth to the hospital. The woman passed out, but the baby was successfully delivered when it confirmed that the baby cries and cries.

After they treat or clean both the mother and the baby, they transfer them to their room.

…

The woman wakes up and slowly looks around. She's already in a room on a bed and her friends that work on the brothel too were there looking at her child.

"Oh, you have woken up." Her friend, the one holding the baby, went to her and showed the baby. "Look at your daughter. Isn't she cute?"

"I don't want it." Without taking a look, she straightly said that after her friend just finished talking.

"Huh? What did you say?..."

"I don't want that thing."

Her friends and the ones holding the baby became quiet when they heard what she said.

"...w-why are you saying that?!" The one holding the baby tries to lower her voice when she asks.

"That thing is a hindrance to me."

"That thing…? WhAt are you saying?... This is not a thing, this is your child!"

The woman slowly got up. "I didn't even want that. You guys, the ones who said that I should give birth to it!"

"Uwaa!"

Because of her loud voice, the baby woke up and started crying.

"Uwaa!"

"Hey, why did you shout?" The holder said to her. Then tries to calm the baby. "There, there, your mommy is just in a bad mood." After the holder calmed the baby, she gave it to others to hold it. As soon as she gave it to them, she turned back to the women and argued. "You, you know why we said that because you are trying to drop it. You know it's a living being, so we stopped you."

"Ha-ha… in the first place, I didn't even want a child. It just so happened that I forgot to take a pill. And the bastard who impregnated me ran away and was never seen again."

"Why not just raise it. Even if you're a single parent, we're here to support you."

"If you guys want to raise it, why not you guys raise it instead!" the mother shouted and lay on the bed again, then covered herself with the blanket.

"Uwaa!"

"What about the name of the child?!"

"Why do you guys ask me that?! I already gave you guys the child, why do you guys still need my permission?!"

And with that, they never convince the mother again.

📅📅📅

A few years have passed since the birth. The baby was taken care of by the mother's friends and colleague from the brothel, and they're living literally in the brothel. When the child grew up a little, she looked like her mother; the brownish hair and its beauty.

The child learned how to walk and talk by the mother's friends and, while the mother just ignored them, then continued selling her body. Furthermore, they're managing the child to stay away from their work so that it can't influence it.

…

{THEN ONE DAY}

(The child; 3 years old) "Mommy!"

For the first time. The child talks to the mother. The real mother.

Hearing that, the mother looks around if someone's there. But it's indeed no ones there. Then she looks at her daughter, the child showing her drawing about her and her mother holding hands.

"Is that me?" The mother asked.

"Uumm." The child simply nodded.

After answering, the mother quietly patted the child for the first time. And the child overjoyed it.

To think that the mother shows affection to her daughter. It's the first time, but… it's the last time as well.

{THE NEXT DAY}

Just the day after that. The patting that the mother did to her daughter yesterday just became a fleeting dream because the mother is back to normal, back to ignoring her child like it's just a ghost.

The child's joy, she even told it to others, but this day It's now sadness. The child tries everything to make her mother notice her, but in the end she ends up crying back to the people who raised her.

Day to day as the child tries and tries until that day.

That day, the child went to the room where her mothers works. She wants to surprise her mother by giving the food she helped with, but that time it happened to be that her mother has a customer and the door was not locked. So when the child entered the door, she saw her mother being banged and moaning loudly.

Seeing that, the child dropped the food and the plate shattered into pieces.

"Mommy?..."

"Your daughter?"

They noticed the child because of the plate, but they were still doing it and the mother continued moaning even though her daughter was there.

The child ran with tears in her eyes and went back to the person she helped with in the kitchen.

"What's wrong?" The lady asked.

The child explained, although the way she spoke was wavering. But the lady understands enough, and she's angry with the mother.

So after the lady calmed the child, and it fell asleep because of exhausting, she rushed in to the mother room where they're having s*x.

But service had already ended, the customer was not there anymore and the mother was just chilling there on the bed while naked.

After opening the door forcefully, they start arguing.

"You! Why did you let your daughter see you having sex?!"

"Me!? How is it my fault?! I didn't even know the door was unlocked!"

"Yes, it's your fault! How the f*ck you even forgot to lock your damn door?!"

"It's that damn brat, fault!! She wouldn't see it if she just didn't go to my room! And look, she even made a mess here! It would be great if she didn't exist!"

Hearing that last line made the lady more angry and started attacking the mother.

"Why would you say that!?" The lady said, while she's pulling the mother's hair aggressively. "You didn't know how your daughter tries many times to get your attention!"

The mother fought back. "I didn't even want to give birth to that child to begin with! I didn't want to get pregnant at all, either! I should've just aborted her from the start!!"

The lady became more aggressive when she heard that from the mouth of the mother.

They have been hurting each other until others stop them because of their loud voices.

"Don't stop me, I should teach that bitch on how to be a mother!"

"Why should I care about that!? Like I said, I don't want that child!"

"You…!"

While they're shouting at each other, an old lady barges in. "Hey, both of you, stop that!"

"But madam, she barged in and started harassing me!" said the mother.

"I'm not going to do this if you just take care of your daughter!" said the lady.

"I already gave it to you guys! So the responsibility is just only for you!"

"I said BOTH OF YOU, STOP THAT!" shouted by the old lady.

Both the lady and the mother shut their mouths when the old lady scolded them.

"You guys knew that I'm the owner of this place, right?! If you guys still do that, I will kick you guys out here! Got it?"

The old lady was the owner of the brothel.

" "Yes, madam." " both the lady and the mother answered.

After that, the lady left the room.

Because of that day, both the lady and the mother didn't talk to each other anymore. Even the child starts avoiding her mother.
