Mother

6:45 AM

I woke up, and I felt refreshed. I stretched my body and got up to take a nice and hot shower. Then I put on my favorite pants and shirt. When I went downstairs and saw my mother cooking a massive meal with the words “HAPPY BIRTHDAY” written on the table. I cried tears of happiness even I had forgotten my birthday. I gave my mother an enormous hug, ate the food, and left for work.

7:30-10:00 AM

As I walked to work, I felt the refreshing and cool breeze brushing against my face. When I reached work, my manager assigned me to do something different from usual. They wanted me to clean the manager’s office. After cleaning the manager’s office and everywhere else. The manager showed up at their office and requested me to sit down.

I had gotten promoted. My day couldn’t get any better than this.

10:00 AM - 12:00 PM

I grinned. I couldn’t wait to tell my friends about this. But even though I'm happy I can’t stop working or I could lose the promotion!

12:00 PM -3:00 PM

I got off work.

3:30 PM - 4:00 PM

I called my friends so we could meet at a cafe. When I reached the cafe, I felt nervous yet excited to see what my friends thought.

4:00 - 5:00 PM

I and my friends chatted for a while before I told them the good news.

“?! That’s amazing I’m so happy for you.”

“We should go to a club and celebrate!”

I agreed.

5:45 - 10:00 PM

Each experience allowed me to feel euphoria. It felt like I was floating. Every time it ended, I felt dull.

10:00 - 11:00PM

The only sober friend drove each of us home.

11:50 PM

I walked into my house. It was dark. I stumbled to turn on the lights. When I looked up at the ceiling, I saw my mother dressed in red smiling at me.

I smiled.

12:00 AM

6:45 AM

I woke up and stretched my stiff body. Then walked into the bathroom to take a shower. After bathing, I put on some clothes and went downstairs to my mother cooking food like always. Looking to the side, I saw the words “Happy Birthday” written. The same poster she used for every one of my birthdays. I smiled, happy to know that she remembered my birthday. I eat, then waved my mother goodbye and walked out of the house to go to work.

7:30-10:00 AM

When I walked to work, I felt a breeze hit my face, making me shiver a bit. When I reached work, they sent me to clean the manager’s office. Then after cleaning, the manager walked in and told me to sit down. They told me they would promote me, I cheered in my head.
