A year had passed after Eira graduate, she works in a hotel, a very nice one, at first everything was manageable in her part. She was able to balance her time with her family, work and friends however when she was promoted from being a telephone operator to a front desk officer, things turn out not to be so nice. She goes home late, often irritated and very stressed out that she lose her radiance already. Her time with her family shortens, and so with her friends, she picks to sleep more rather than having her social life. She always get scolded by her mother for being a lazy bum since she sleeps all day and never did any housework. She seldom do laundry that her dirty clothes piles up like the mount everest. "Eira, today is your off and yet here you are lying down the bed all day! Don't you plan to clean up this house, it really is a mess!" Her mom scolded her. "I'm tired ma, work is very stressful and... I'm tired just let me sleep." She defended herself. "Then what do you call on what I do? I also work, tired also but did I complain? Did I became lazy?" Her mom said angrily. "STOP COMPARING ME TO YOU MA, WE'RE NOT THE SAME. I CAN'T BE YOU AND YOU CAN'T BE ME! JUST LET ME BE!" She complained. "So what are you trying to show now? Just because you're working too, do you think you have the right to act like this, I'm still your mother Eira! And as long you are here under my care, you have to follow me!" She scolded her more. "You know what, I'll move out so that I can do what I want to do." She yelled. She took some of her clothes and shove it in her bag, she hailed a taxi and went somewhere away from home.

"What did you do, where on earth she'll go?" Eira's granny asked.

"Ma, don't worry Eira will come back, she doesn't have any place to stay anyway. After all, what she did for the past year is to waste money on useless stuff." Eira's mother replied.

"I hope you are right, because I feel uneasy about this. This is the first time that she left home, she never did this before."

"Eira is a grown up woman, she knows what's right and wrong, running away from home won't solve anything for her. She'll come back eventually, regretting her actions."

"I hope she does."

A day had passed and Eira did not went home. She continued to go to work and go home however it's not the home she usually go home to. Days had passed that it turned to weeks of not going home, then weeks turn to months and months turned to a year and time quickly passed by, Eira hasn't come back home in 2 years. The work she's supposed to be working on turns out to be no longer affiliated to her. No one knows in her family where she went to, what work she's doing now and how is she doing.

"Welcome to Sunrise Hotel, how may I help you today?"

"Good day, I'm here for check in."

"May I know under what name is the reservation."

"It's under Peter Parkins."

"Peter Parkins, for a moment Mr. Parkins." She typed the name in their software and searched for his reservation and when she saw it she began her spiel. "I already found your reservation Mr. Peter Parkins. Staying with us for two nights in a one king sized bed non smoking. Your reservation includes breakfast and is already been paid through your online travel agency. Kindly fill out our registration card, please indicate your home address and your email, but if you do have business card with, which would be delightful, you can just sign the registration card." She smiled, she gave the registration card to her guest and showed again his reservation, she highlighted the things needed to be fill out and lastly she asked for a security deposit. "Since room accomodation is already been paid, I'll just be asking for a security deposit of at least two hundred dollars which is refundable upon check out, it can be through cash or card, whichever suits you Mr. Parkins." Her guest took out his credit card and have her hold an amount of two hundred dollars in his credit card. "Everything is all set, your room is already prepared. You'll be staying on the 8th floor in a one king sized bed non-smoking. Breakfast is served on the 2nd floor from 6:30 in the morning up until 10:00 in the morning.

Should you need any assistance during your stay you may dial 0 on your phone and you can look for me, my name is Eira and I'm happy to deliver my utmost service to you Mr. Parkins." She smiled ending her long yet very informative spiel. "Thank you Eira, I appreciate your concern, if I am in need of any assistance I will look for you." Mr. Parkins smiled. "You're very much welcome, allow me to assist you to our elevator." Eira added. "Thank you!" He said, very grateful towards her splendid assistance.
