The sound of the alarm jolt me awake. I reached for the bedside table and turned the alarm off. I grunted as I switch my position and I pulled my blanket up to my chin. I was about to close my eyes when I heard a soft knock on the door.
"Come in." I said in a tired tone.
Bea opened the door and walked into my room, I can hear the soft sound of her feet brushing through the plush carpet. She went near me and pulled my blanket down to my waist and turned around to draw the curtains.
A soft beam of light touched my face. I squinted my eyes for it was early and my eyes haven't adjusted to the sudden brightness. I reach for my cover and placed it again on my body due to the sudden cold that I felt.
"Time to wake up, Miss." Bea said while trying to pull the blanket off of me but to no avail.
She kept on tugging my blanket until my face was seen. Bea gasped.
"You're unwell!" She pressed her palm on my forehead.
After touching my forehead she add, "Let me get the medicine kit." and she rushed out of my room.
I slowly sat up and held two fingers on my temple. 'Gosh, my head hurts.' I thought while I rubbed my fingers on my temple.
Bea came into my room holding a tray with the medicine kit, a small jar filled with lukewarm water, a small cloth and a small deep metallic basin. Bea placed the tray on my bedside table and poured the water into the basin. She took the towel and dipped it into the basin and twisted the cloth moist and gently placed it on my forhead and told me to lie down.
When my sick body felt the softness of my bed, my body had never felt so comfortable causing my eyelids to flutter shut. Just when I was about to be sucked into the eternal comfort of sleep, I suddenly remembered something which made me open my eyes again.
"The test!" I exclaimed while bolting upright and looked at Bea which made the warm cloth to fall on my lap.
"Well, if I were to judge you base on your present condition. I'm afraid that the test would have to wait for a day. Besides, it's for your benefit. Now rest." Bea said while taking the towel on my lap back to the tray.
I was supposed to say something back when there was a firm knock on the door.
