NOT REJECTED

Rachav: Oh, of course. {(Delighted and determined) It's just babysitting. How hard can it be?}

As Rachav Rai is escorted to the door, she feels an urge to inquire of something before leaving Empire Territory.

Rachav: Um Sir.

Head Butler: (Turns to her) How may I help you?

Rachav: I mean no intrusion, I just wanted to ask if I could meet the Young Master before leaving.

Head Butler: {To get to know him?} (Sighs) I am sorry Miss Rai as the Young Master wishes to see no one.

Rachav: Ah, I see. {I wonder why.}

Head Butler: This way please.

The next day, at noon, the Young Master of Empire Territory, Tiberius Kamen is in the parlor along with his Teddy bear "Dawny-Cup" beside him, both watch television. Later on, cute Tiberius is on a voice call with his father.

Tiberius: Stay safe daddy.

Mr Kamen: I will son.

Tiberius: Don't worry, I'll ask Jesus to help you with your supplies.

Mr Kamen: Who?

Tiberius: (Grins) Jesus! Prince of Peace, Son of the Most High G...

Mr Kamen: (Stern) Tiberius?

Shiver flows down the spine of the young cute Tiberius.

Tiberius: Yes Sir.

Mr Kamen: Handle the phone to the Assistant Butler.

The scared Assistant Butler quickly takes the tablet.

Assistant Butler: Sir!

Mr Kamen: Where did he get that name from?

Assistant Butler: Well, hem... It's from a series of Christian cartoons shown on television, Sir. He makes sure to watch it everyday.

Mr Kamen: Not anymore. Pass my order in the Territory, that he is banned from television...

Tiberius: {He is angry at me.}

Mr Kamen: Is that clear?

Assistant Butler: Sure. I mean of course Mansion Master!

Tiberius: But they say Jesus is harmless...

Mr Kamen: Tiberius!

The victims wince in shock.

Mr Kamen: Are you tempting my patience?

Tiberius: No Sir.

Mr Kamen: I cannot hear...

Tiberius: No Sir!

Mr Kamen: Good. It should be noon over there, isn't it?

Assistant Butler:Yea... yes sir.

Mr Kamen: Let him take his siesta.

Assistant Butler: Alright sir.

The call is ended from the other side. The young five years old boy takes up Dawny-Cup, wiping away imaginative tears from the face of the lifeless teddy bear .

Tiberius: Don't be sad Dawny-Cup. Daddy is just concerned about us. (Embraces Dawny-Cup closely) Don't be sad.

Head Butler: Young Master, your...

Young Tiberius timid and saddened, runs out of the parlor, the Assistant Butler attempts to pursue him however stops himself.

Assistant Butler: Ahhh. He was scolded by the Mansion Master.

Rachav Rai is greeted by a Mansion Maid after waiting a long time in the garden.

Maid: The Young Master tends to be feeling down and wishes not to meet anyone. Head Butler instructed me to humbly apologize for the trouble and see you out on his behalf.

Rachav: Oh please, no need for an apology 😇.

Maid: (Takes two paces forward).

Rachav: Um, so sorry to bother, I just wanted to ask if I could say hi to the Young Master, at least.

Maid: I suppose not. I am just a message deliverer, please this way.

Rachav: {Oh.} Thank you.

The next day happens just as the previous in which she is unable to meet Young Master Tiberius again. The following day, about sending away the jovial Rachav Rai, she exclaims......

Rachav: (Pulling off her jacket)Oh grassy no!

The Head Butler and his assistant stare at the unexpectedly pissed off babysitter in surprise.

Rachav: (All calm and smiles) I cannot go away. I just can't. (Feigns sadness) I guess you do not know how costly transportation is in this regime. I am just an ordinary lady dedicating her entire self to her job, yet I am not being appreciated.

Assistant Butler: No, no Miss. We appreciate your efforts, it's just...

The soft distress of the young lady coaxes the heart of the Assistant Butler as she lays down her face on her opened palms and sobs.

Assistant Butler: (Gives in) The Young Master is in his bedroom.

Head Butler: We will be honored to have you meet him. Take her to introduce herself to the Young Master.

The sadness fixed on the face of the babysitter fades off slowly.

Rachav: Oh. Thank you for understanding. Don't you need to check my suitcase? 😁

A security man is called to scan her suitcase.

Rachav: {😄 I am such an innocent lady😇.}
