The delicious madness

She always used to come late for her work and leave half an hour before the employees, and the only thing that interceded for her with her manager was his knowledge of her conditions, as she is the only breadwinner for her children after her husband became ill. The heavy burden on her shoulder. But despite that, she did not hesitate to perform her duty to the fullest, with complete satisfaction and a silent mouth. She was not even slow to help her colleagues if some tasks were difficult for them. She is familiar with computer work and has long experience in arranging files. So she was closer to the ideal employee. During employee breaks, she would rush to the nursery near her workplace to check on her young child. She used to leave half an hour before the employees to pick up her daughter from school.
Years passed in this case for a long period, in which she did not miss a day from attendance, but there was an event that made everyone worried about her, so here it is the third day in a row, and here she is absent from work, which made her colleagues worry about her, so one of them brought her home address from the personnel affairs, and here was the surprise They saw the ambulance and the Civil Defense carrying a corpse after they put masks on their noses. Three consecutive days had passed without anyone noticing her death. After the stench filled the air, the neighbors called the Civil Defense and announced her death three days ago. As for the painful event and the surprise. The thunderbolt that befell her colleagues was that she was alone, without a husband or children, even relatives rarely saw them, and sometimes she rejoiced at a visit from one of her brothers, and their situation says, “We made a mistake with the address, so we came without intention or intention, with a passing visit, and as soon as he drinks a cup of coffee, and sometimes he does not wait for him, citing tasks that he must accomplish.” Immediately, until he hastens to leave, this is how she lied to herself, and soon after she believed her lie and lived and built for her a world of imagination where the affectionate husband, the beloved children, and the dedicated mother in raising her children, who does her best to make them enjoy comfort and happiness, and she was lucky because throughout her life no one knew this truth They did not notice this delicious madness on her, nor is it certain that her place will be the psychiatric hospital
