The dirt on jewel

Chapter 8

It's the weekend,the first weekend in two years which feels like a weekend. Most of the time in the previous months I have had to go to the university or catch on with my part-time jobs,but after a long time I have got the day all to myself. Today my mom decided to go buy groceries and Jaun considered accompanying her,so I am all alone at home.

Last week it has been a mayhem,at home and in my life. The previous week was definitely the most eventful of all of my days.

Today I considered reading a few books that I had been trying to read from the past two months. Life was not as usual and I was trying to adjust to the new ways. Working with Arnold and working as a trainee are two opposite things. Arnold will keep you busy with editing,copying,mailing,running errands. While a trainee gets the privilege of working according to the workload put by Samantha. Another big difference here is of which I worry most; the pay. I will not be payed as well as I was used to,meaning I have to take time out for more part-time jobs.

The doorbell rang and I got up to answer it. On opening the door I found the mail man standing by.

"Good morning,it's a mail for Miss. Ayana Adams." He informed.

"Right,I am Ayana. You can give this to me."

The letter was sent from MJ,stating that I had now got the job as the third-party intern*and will have to join from Monday,21st August 2014.

Soon mom and Jaun came back too. Mom had planned to make Chireta, an Aragonese dish for lunch. My mother stayed in Aragon while she was in Spain,so her cooking is restricted to Aragonese dishes,though sometimes she makes other Spanish cuisines too.

I on the other hand feel more comfortable with baking and desserts,though I have been doing most of the cooking for the past years. Jaun was the best when it came to cooking,his culinary skills are impressive! We have been suggesting him for a quite a while now to join a culinary school. He cooks Pincho and Pringa,Rillettes and Teurgoule,taeyang gao and zong zi. He has the skill for all types of food.

Juan is about 8 years older than me but we never felt the age gap interfere between our friendship and understanding. For him it was always me, for me always him. We shared the best and worst times of our life together,But the time is over and done. We only remain to face the journey in front of us. Alone or accompanied it remains same; the asperity of fate,the time of our tribulation that began when we first came to this world,the travail and torment of the absurd world. Yet we still think love and being loved helps!I don't believe so though because my mother is the figure I love most but I don't remember if some one ever has brought me as much pain as her.

"Loneliness brings pain not love!" I read the mail I had just received.

* meaning on a temporary contract,and low pay.

Hello everyone!

I know I haven't updated for the past 2 days and you all have been waiting,therefore, I apologise and thank you all for your endless support. The previous chapter is a bit short because it comprises only of Ayana's thoughts and her feelings but I hope you all read it well and have enjoyed. I'll try uploading as so as possible :) :)
