"Job Hunting"

Jacqueline's POV:

A scorching sunlight hit my face and i flutter my eyes open but suddenly closed back due to the brightly lit light from a window.

It's already a new day but i'm not really that much happy and in the mood to start my day.

My bed isn't even cozy, not at all, to be precise, it's the worst bed and i missed my real bed but it's the best i could get with the amount of money that i've got with me right now.

I live in a shabby rented room with a single size bed, a table, a wardrobe with nothing in it and a small bedside lamp. It's located at the far end of the city. Atleast i've got to live which is the most valuable thing with me but with no one to share it to. My parents, my friends and my dear ones died on that tragic attack and i'm the lone survivor. I missed them so so much. They're my everything my every reason to live and now it's like i'm a living dead but i atleast have to live for my own even if that means i have to struggle to live for a meagre.

My stomach's grumbling with weird noises which was because of my lack of food the other night.

I took a shower with only a bucket of water. Yes i own one. Can u imagine showering with a bucket? It's a funny sight.
I put on the only clothes i owned which i washed and hanged to dry the other night. It's a T-shirt with a picture of "the one and only- Axl Rose", a jeans and my cute vans.

I sling on my only Louis Vuitton bag which my mother presented the last Christmas. It reminded of our mother-daughter shopping times. I've no cell phone or whatsoever electrical gadgets with me, and that's why i needed very much to find a job, so that i could buy a phone with my first salary. The reason i need a phone desperately is because i have to contact a very important person whom i can remember his number very well and alive.

I went out locking the door on my way and started my journey. I have to atleast eat something so i headed east and walked for about 15 minutes. I found the cafe where i could afford buying something to eat. I bought a sandwich and a bottle of water and went out to continue my journey. That is Job hunting.

It has been going on for like this everyday for a month and i couldn't find any job uptil now. And today of all days, i am determined to find a job, whether it has even something to do with illegal activities. I'm that much desperate.

I reached the bus stand which will eventually lead me to the hearth of the city where i could hunt.
It almost took 5 minutes for the bus to arrive. I get in and only a few were riding wearing their beautifully ironed suits for their works. I envy them.

It took exactly an hour to reached the city. I climbed down from the bus and starting walking with no destined place. Only some few early risers could be seen walking. It's a beautiful summer and the sun will be blazing hot within an hour or two. I could feel the awaiting long day ahead.

But i'm dead determined to find a job. I will find it. I have to find it. I must find it. I kept chanting myself and walked on the street.
