LOST and FOUND...

ch 7:Living my dreams!

I got up a little early with nervousness flooding my blood.I haven't been to work.All this time,I've got everything for free.But now!I have to work!!With someone I've only met a couple of times.

I looked at Kate who was sleeping beside me happily, without any worries.Unlike me,she didn't go to any work or found it difficult to get to make her parents fall in love.Everything was naturally settled for her.Now,that is what I call a luck..which will never take its side with me.

I struggled to get up from my bed but somehow made my way to the washroom.
I was staring at myself in the dimlit mirror.Everyone shall oneday discover their own purposes in life.But the purpose for me was already fixed before I was born.They live their lives for themselves while I was not even created to enjoy myself.Love should not be forced!Love should not be something that suffocates you to death.But more people now go after pleasure and not peoples pure hearts.
What is the difference between them and us?Who is our father to decide the fate of people's love?

I wake up with random thoughts each day.Not a single day goes by without thinking of my death.Yes!I will die soon and no one can stop that.But before that I want to experience what I've been doing for my parents.LOVE!
If I could ever know how that feels for once in my whole life,all the fears bottled up inside me shall be gone!

I tried to tear away that tired look off my face and got myself ready to face the day.

I wore my favourite bell bottoms and matched it with a formal blue shirt.I tied my hair into a chignon and reminded myself to wear my lucky scarf.I took my little sling bag which had all my basic essentials in it.I checked my phone,it was only seven which is pretty early for my work.
I stood in front of the mirror,"What if he is a person who gets up more earlier than this?What if he doesn't remember me at all?"

I kept asking myself some stupid questions which only made me more nervous. Indeed, I'm a stupid.I believed in his words and got myself ready for whatever work.What if he doesn't even recognize me now?

"No!Don't think like that.He was the one who told you that you will be his personal assistant.How will he forget you?"I tried to calm myself.

I tried to wake my friend."Kate!Kate!"I shouted into her ears.

She got up annoyed and looked at me like she wanted to punch me right now.
"I'm going to work!"I smiled.

"Now?"

"Yeah.It is the first day so I thought going early would do good".

"Wait for me. I'll get myself ready and come with you too!"

"No Kate.I'm fine alone.Don't worry about me.From the day,we came here.You're always with me.This is my mission.You've got your own life.Our lifes don't last longer. So,enjoy while you can. I'll take care of this",I hugged her.

"Why?We always share our work.I never knew our Ann could be so mature-"she placed her hands on her hips."Anyways, be careful and don't ever talk to strangers.Got that?If there's anything, call me immediately."

I nodded with a smile.

"Enjoy your work and don't forget to keep an eye on your father too!",she laughed.

I waved her goodbye and closed the door.

I took a spare key with me just in case if she's out when I return back.But I saw her rolling herself in the blanket and drifting off to sleep again.

I reached his place through a cab.But I couldn't see the watchman or any guards infront of the gate.I started to get more anxious.I decided to wait near the tiny coffee shop that sat at the corner of the street.
The sun came out pretty late today.The morning breeze was calm and cold.I thanked myself for bringing the scarf with me.

The owner did not come until eight and when he opened his shop.He insisted I sit inside his shop to escape the cold.He seemed like a good old man but I refused his kind offer.I kept waiting for him until he himself showed up after an hour.
He was speaking to someone on the phone.When I saw him,I got from the bench and started walking towards him.He crossed his arms and gave me a stern look.

"You are late on your very first day?"

"No sir.I arrived here at seven thirty but since the gate was closed.I waited near the coffee shop",I pointed towards the coffee shop where I was sitting.

He laughed at me.

"Come inside",he said with a smile.

The guard closed the gate as we walked towards the mighty palace like house that sat proudly in the middle of a busy street.

"You'll just be following my order.Got that?"

"Yes sir!"

We came across a small but beautiful garden filled with colourful roses and on the other side stood some trees whose names I've never known.

While we entered the house,someone came rushing towards the door which made me to walk away from him.
He bowed down and introduced me to him,"She will be my assistant."
He looked at me,"And he's my father,Delron Sergio"

His father gave me a not-so-satisfied- look and whispered something into his ears.

"Good morning,sir",I greeted him with a best smile I could offer but he simply ignored me and walked out of the house with his other assistants running behind him.

"He's like that always.Don't expect too much from my family".He mumbled.

"Now,what's my work?"I asked him as we walked past a giant TV that hugged the wall and huge plushy sofas that was great even to just look at.

"I'll take a shower and come while you wait here in the living room and then we shall follow our schedule",he smiled.

"Yes sir!"I nodded.

"First.Stop calling me sir.My name is Cloyd Sergio-",he held my hands which was wet from the sweat caused by my anxiousness.

"You don't have to be so nervous",he stared into my eyes,"What's yours?"

"My name is Hannah",I replied him with a smile.

I sat on the blue plushy sofa which felt good for my butt.I sunk in as I sat on the sofa.A baseball match was on air.Probably that curve on the TV which gave it a 3D feel made it feel like I'm watching it live.They freaking have a mini-theatre inside thier house.

The maids were carrying around things in a hurry and that is when I knew,no one in this house ever does things slowly or with peace.Calmness has never made a visit to this house is what I have learnt on my first day at my work.

I laughed at the thought.I looked around and studied the living room.Two tall pillars stood at the corner embracing themselves with colourful flowers which held the pillar with grace and climbed upon them like a python.
Near to them,stood a huge vase filled with artificial flowers which still got its not-so-required air from the window which was located behind it.A beautiful set of stairs probably made of glass curved itself at the edge of the living room.The ceilings were filled with weird and unique paintings which made me look at it till my spine ached.

"So,are you ready?Shall we go?"Cloyd was now standing in front of me wearing a 'I'm not cool' t-shirt which probably looked too big on him with a pants that definitely did not look normal.His hair sat above his head looking fluffy and perfectly seperated which gave him a hot yet innocent look.He smelled like a mixture of lavender and vanilla.

"Are we going out?"

"Yes of course.Why?Do you object it?"

"No sir-",I bit my lip as I felt his stare on me."I mean no Cloyd.We shall now carry on with our work"I put my head down feeling awkward.

I followed him out of the house.Oof!It's difficult to walk with these scarpin heels.Kate bought this for me at a cheap rate in one of the local markets.The owner told the size was a little small but it was a perfect fit for my toes.I knew it was a lie!I shouldn't have fallen for his flattery.

"Are you coming?"he called out.

"Yes Cloyd."I limped towards his car.
