The Stranger in my room

Chapter 2

Sometimes we ourselves invite the unknown trouble in our life and then regret it.
But I was relieved that I didn't have to regret my earlier wierd actions.
Hopefully, people didn't recognize me after that incident because my face was almost covered by my oversized hoodie and I changed it when I went to the washroom.
I came out in a simple black t-shirt which I was wearing inside the hoodie and my jeans.

No one saw my face so I guess that I am out of trouble now.

After college, I went to my small apartment, in which I was living on rent. I opened the door and jumped to my bed lazily.

I had a shitty day today.

After 1 hour I have to go to the cafe where I work part-time to meet my expenses. My mother already worked her ass off to meet my college expenses and this apartment rent. Luckily I've got a scholarship because I perform well in exams.
After completing my studies I just want to help my mom in every way possible. She had gone through a lot for me.

Living in this cruel world without a shed of a father is the most difficult thing ever but my mother did every possible thing for me. My father just vanished after making my mother pregnant and my grandparents didn't support her. At that time when she could have aborted me she chose otherwise. She gave birth to me and did everything she could do to give me a better lifestyle. She devoted her life to me and now I wanted to give her back. I know I couldn't ever repay her but at least I can ensure to give her the happiness she deserve. She had gone through a lot and now I want her to take a rest.

My alarm rang after 45 minutes. I frantically opened my eyes and got up.
It still had 15 minutes to get ready. I quickly got up and got ready in 10 minutes and hurried to the cafe.

I was feeling a little hungry but I didn't have time to eat. If I would have eaten food instead of sleeping then I might get stressed. I usually come late from the cafe and I barely get 4 hours of sleep because I have to go to the cafe early morning also. After that, I go to college.
My life had two things: a cafe, college, cafe, college.......

When I reached the cafe luckily I was just 5 minutes late, it was exactly 5:05 PM. No one noticed that I came late. I rushed to the changing room and changed the clothes. Thete is the dress code for everyone who works in the cafe. It was a knee-length white skirt with a white and red check crop shirt and an apron in front of it for girls.
I applied some lip gloss and eyeliner and tied my waist-length hair into a bun.
I don't want to apply lip gloss and stuff but it was rule here to do all this so that customers would feel good by looking at us.

Like seriously!!! Are those people are coming here to see us?

But never mind I had to do this. After changing I went to do my work.
Time went by serving people.

Today there were relatively more people than any other day.
By 9 PM I was exhausted as hell. I changed my clothes and moved to my apartment. Earlier I took a cab to come here so that I would not get late but now I have to walk to save money.

I haven't eaten anything. In college as well because of that incident I skipped my meal.
I started taking big steps to reaching my apartment as soon as possible.
Suddenly I saw someone running towards me.
I got frightened.
I stumbled backwards to run from here.
Then I noticed that it was the same person from college who was getting beaten up. He was hurriedly running towards me. His face was bruised and blood was dripping from his one shoulder.

Run Jenni ... run from here...

But again my legs got glued due to fear. I was trembling.
When that person approached me I was scared as hell to answer to think properly. What he did after that amazed me.
He came behind me and hid behind me. He was breathing heavily and looked scared. I didn't budge.
Then he said trembling, " Please save me. He-he will kill me ... p-please... save me ..."
