Chapter Four
(Alyanna's P.O.V)
I woke up much earlier today than yesterday.I don't know why but I can't go back to sleep.My mind's very occupied with a lot of things especially what happened yesterday at the concert.Of all the places I could mess up,why the biggest one we catered?!Freaking why?!I'm actually waiting for someone from the office to call me and say that I can no longer work there.I'm being so pathetic!I rose up from bed and went inside the bathroom.I have to go to the office before I lose my sanity.I quickly prepared myself and go to the office.The guard's obviously waiting for me.
"Mrs.Howards is in her office.She's waiting for you there",he spoke to me as I came closer.
"Thanks."The sound comes mostly from my nose.As I'm getting nearer to her office,I could almost feel the risk of my heart jumping out of my ribcage because it's beating abnormally.I want this to be over.Happen what may.So I trotted to her workroom with an exceptional large steps.I inhaled one hard breathe before entering.This is it!
"Good morning,Mrs.Howards",I said almost a whisper.She removed her gaze from the paper to look up at me.She only stares at me.I don't know what to do at first.But then I decided to seek an apology for what happen last night.
"I-I'm sorry for w-what happened last night.I failed you.I've messed up on our biggest customer.I'm very sorry.I deserved if I got fired out.I'm very sorry,Mrs.Howards",I blurted out with the obvious shake in my voice.I feel like I would burst into tears any moment now.I can't look her in the eyes.Mrs.Howards is Auntie Edith's friend.Aunt referred me to her and without hesitation,she considered me on this job.I have failed her and also my Aunt.What would I do now?I need my job to survive here.I heard quiet sobs from me.Mrs.Howards speaks at last.
"I think you need to have a break for a while,Alyanna.You seemed very stressed these passed days.Maybe because you think a lot.Plus the fact that you only sleep few hours.I sympathize you.I honestly don't feel mad about what happen.We actually received positive feedbacks yesterday.Dont worry I'm not firing you out.I only want you to have a break.This is for your own good.Maybe after this,your mind's refreshed.Is it alright?"
"Y-Yes.I understand."
"Let me then give you a hug",she.said before hugging me.
"I know how good a sister you are.Your Aunt told me a lot about you when she's here even when we sometimes chat over the internet.I actually have soft heart for overseas workers especially you at your young age.Goodluck,Alyanna.Have a good day."
She waved goodbye to me as I exited her office.I actually am grateful because of the kind-hearted people around me.Maybe all I need is rest.Free myself from all the pressures and stresses of life.After all,I'm just a teen.Although I'm on the edge of it.I have a wide smile all the way from the entrance of the establishment.
"Someone has a good day today,right Yanna",someone said and when I looked back,I recognized that it's Tyler.
"Tell me what happened inside Mrs.Howards'room."
"And I think someone must be on duty at this hour.Am I right,Tyler?"
"Come on.Spill the beans!"
"Okay.I've just been told to have a break from work.Isn't it nice?"
"You're actually happy that you've been fired out?Strange reaction it is!"
"Have I said it wrong or you just misheard it.It's only a break.I can still comeback.Clear?!"
"Okay.I misinterpreted it.But it means you don't have income.Knowing girls,you spend a lot of money for the beautification of yourselves!How are you going to support that?"His brows are furrowed.
"First,it's not your problem.Second,I don't spend money just for that.Third,I think you should start working or you'll be kicked out for chattering.Get that?"I told him jokingly.
"I guess you're right.I'm not able to maintain my hunkie figure without it.Bye Yanna.Have a nice break."He winked an eye before leaving me.Whooaah!His signature wink!He used to tell me everytime that it takes only an effortless wink for a woman to fall on her knees but he doesn't know why I'm not affected.I don't see anything attractive in it.Well,I'm gonna miss everyone here.Mrs.Howards,my co-workers,the.security guard.All of them.They're my family here.I inhaled the fresh morning air when I stepped out the building.
"Have a good day,Mr Conrad!"I said loudly to the security guard.He only smiled at me.I made my way to the apartment happily.I deserved to sleep.I mentally scheduled what to do this day.After all,I won't be totally jobless.I still have my job on the bakery.I'm quite glad that I haven't told anyone from there that I'm quitting.I have more time concentrating on my studies.I have to because I'll be going to Uni this coming school year.I'm on my upper sixth form.I wanted to do a lot of things like hanging out with Sam.And then get a lot of sleep.You probably be thinking why can't I go to sleep properly when we have 24hrs/day.8 and a half of for school including breaktime 8hrs for working.I still have 7 hours and 30 mins left.I do homeworks and projects plus I'm catching up on the lessons because it's a different curriculum here from where I last attended which eats all my time.I'm lucky enough if I got a maximum of 6hrs sleep.I also have full-time work in the bakery during Sats and Suns.But that was past.It's hard to be independent in a different country.Providing needs for myself and supporting my brother.I can't let my Aunt to shoulder all his expenses although she insisted as she has no child.I'm thankful because she's taking care of Nico.She left me when I turned 18 and told me that she wants to stay there.At least there is someone supervising him.I really can't get my mind off thinking about him.Although we see each other through skype.If I can only pay a visit even once in a year but it would cost me lots of money.I remember that it's 7:30 in the morning.I'll take a 30 minute-nap.School's one hour ahead.I have to attend school 'cause I wasn't able to come yesterday due to the concert.I arrived in school feeling sleepy but I need to concentrate.After a series of discussions,quizzes and catch-up lessons,school was over.I had to go to the bakery to start my work.We had quite big number of customers so I was pretty exhausted after work.My route for the past two years of staying here was house-school-work and vice-versa from Mon's-Fri's.I'm still a stranger here in this city because I haven't gone to other places not related to my work.But since I have a break,I'll be working on that.Sounds like a child excited going to a mall.That is what I'm feeling.I waited for Sam so that I can ask her of the best places here.I'm sure she'll be jumping because finally I'm hanging with her.She's been whining for me to come but can't due to my tight schedule and maybe the reason why she wants me to quit a job.I checked the time and it's 11pm.I'll just tell her tomorrow.I feel very sleepy.
Goodnight... o_O
