The water is dark. I am drowning in its depths. The translucent surface of the water seems to disappear. "Rose!" A man's voice fades in the darkness. I am going to die. Like iron coils some fingers wrapped around my neck. I cant breathe. "Daddy help me! Jake! Hel-"
The light of the sun that streaked through the glass window panes fell on my face . I wipe my face with trembling palms to erase the beads of sweat that had accumulated on my forehead. I sit on the bed like that for about ten seconds when I glanced at the clock- 7:30AM . Shit I am late for work. I scurry out of the bed and make my way towards the bathroom. The oval morror hanging on those pale blue walls proved how tired I was.
I open my cupboard as I rummage through my cotton clothes. At last for battling for about ten minutes I foung a white sundress with spaghetti tops and it dangles just above my knee.
" Cheryl! Get up! Its 8 alredy!" I bang on to the door on my friend's bedroom. "Coming coming calm your tits down woman!" I sigh and roll my eyes as I stand outside the door cross armed. After two minutes later Cheryl emerged in a short skirt and a pink lacey top. "Do you think James will like it. I have a date with him in the evening." I smile at her. "You always look gorgeous Cheryl. And if James ever says anything to hurt you...I will be there to rip his balls off and shove then in his own ass." I say sternly and wiggle my eyebrows earning a giggle for Cheryl. "Now shall we leave ?" I whined as she fetches the car keys from the mahogany table. I always envied the way Cheryl looked. Her curly hazel hair , blue eyes and her tanned skin can steal any boy's heart. I on the other hand had ordinary straight black hair and olive skin and plain black eyes. Nothing special I guess.
Cheryl starts up the ignition switch and gives me a smile." Here we go!" I laugh at her childish behaviour. What would I have done without her in my life. I would have rendered homeless and penniless on the streets of she hadn't offered me to be her roomie and found me a job to sustain for myself.
I was brutally shaken off my thoughts with the blaring music from the radio and Cheryl singing on the top of her lungs. "I dont care I love it."...She sure is still a kid at heart. I sigh. None should rob her off her innocence as I was. No one should see the darker side of humanity so soon and I would have lost all faith in life if she was not there to help me that day.
Tears flowed relentlessly off my pale cheeks. I sat down on the iron bench and palmed my face and sobbed. Now what shall I do? I cry so much that I could hardly understand that someone was sitting beside me. A palm rubbed circles on my back as I look up to find this pretty girl sitting beside me with a sympathetic gaze. "I wont tell you that everything is going to be okay but I can only offer you a small help." I recognize her immediately. She was in that work interview where I went with my resume. The interviewee was a middle aged man and surely was facing a great deal of middle age cricis. He tried to rape me in return of getting a job. I could have given myself in because I really needed the job but am not so cheap that anyone will come and take advantage of my weakness and gnaw on my virginity. I pushed his tall frame and made my way out of the interview with tears streaming down on my cheeks. I found this little park and sat on the bench sobbing. Cheryl worked there and she saw the whole thing and followed me out. That night she took me to her house and called up her aunt May who owned a luxurious cafe. Cheryl gave me a job , shelter and most importantly hope. Hope...that had evaporated through my body...hope that I had now...she restored hope in me. I would do anything to make her happy. She is my angle in disguise of a friend. If she hadn't been here...I would have landed in a brothel by now.
"Helloww! Earth to rose...we are here..."
Cheryl shook me off my thoughts. "Cafe coffee bean...Now get your ass off and give me a hug." I hugged her and got down the car and stood there near the shop as long as the car was visible ...till it merged with the horizon. I shook my head and opened the glass door of the cafe.
As I opened the glass door...delicious smell of coffee and chocolates greeted me. I always loved waking in here and soak in all the fragrance and warmth. I make my way to the staff rooms and got changed into my work uniform. "There you are my sugar...Alice needs some serious help with the blueberry muffins....pls go check on her or you know that she is capable of burning this whole shop down. I giggled at Mrs Brown's comment and scurried into the kitchen.The silver coloured steel utensils and cookwares clatterd and tingled everywhere as I made my way over to Alice fastening my red apron around my waist.
"Now now what do we have here"...Alice looked at me almost on the verge of tears. Her ear length blonde hair glowed like a halo on the top. "I burned the first batch of the muffins....this is the last batch...please help Rose...you know today is Friday...it's going to be a huge rush..and..and-" I rubbed her back "Calm down Alice...relax ...am here to help you...breathe...yes...Now go and fix the cream cheese for the red velvet cheesecake...I will handle the muffins..." She nodded and smile at me before leaving. I started adding in the ingredients by measuring them.Soon the cafe was filled with couple and families and the barista order was in its hike. This is really happiness...doing things one like...as I proceeded on to serve the coustomers.
