Survive

Chapter 4

Up and ready to face another day.
I prepared breakfast for Sam and walked with him to school. I didn't have to but i wanted to.

After waving goodbye to each other. I let out the breath i have been holding. It's going to tough on our own. With just the two of us.

I want to the bank, opened an account for myself and a savings account for Sam. I'd be putting in a little case there. I don't want to make the same mistake my Parents made. In case something happens to me. He'd have something to fall back on.

I checked the time as i left the bank, oh boy!
Five full hours? Five hours gone like that?
Well stores would have opened and whoever is hiring will be having their notice board out in front of their store.

Crossing over to the other side of the road, i started my job hunting.
Putting a smile on. Let my smile charm people i said to myself.
I saw a vacancy! Yaay! My heart leaped for joy.
It was a fashion house, they need a customer care service.
I walked into the store and all eyes turned to me.
Looking at me like an uninteresting piece of art.

I walked up to the receptionist,
Hi i would like to apply...
If you here to apply, sorry you can't. You don't fit the description she said cutting me off.

Oh wow.
What an attitude.
I mean...
Leave. You don't fit the description. Do you know anything about fashion. Leave before i call  security.

I looked at myself and did a mental beating to myself. How could i have not looked at myself before entering a fashion store.
Wearing a crazy jean, tank top and a jacket. All out of combination in terms of color.
But excuse me! This is what i can afford.

Hey miss. You need to leave.
I came to earth, looked her and smiled. Then left.
That was embarrassing.
But it won't get to me.
Neeeh.

Next store was a coffee shop. They didn't hire me.
Their excuse, i looked like a child. With my small body frame.
Ah! Lame excuse.

Just when i was about to take the bus and head home. I saw a vacancy at an eatery.
Let's try this one.

I walked inside.
Hmmm! This place smells nice.
Hey, who can i talk to? Am here cause of the advert outside. I asked on the waiters.
Oh, that's him by the counter there.
Alright thanks.

Hi, i am here to apply as a waiter i said to the fine old man.
Ah! Let's go to my office.

So have an experience working in an eatery before?
No. But i waited on my Aunt and husband, i said to myself.
Okay, worked before?
No, honestly.
My parents didn't let me. To myself again.
Hmm.
I am going to put you on week trial cause I'd you to have this job. Can you resume 9 tomorrow morning?
Elated, i almost hugged him. Yes yes. I can resume tomorrow.
You'll have to calm down child, you technically do not have the job.
I know i know. But i am going to get it.
OK. See you tomorrow.
Thank you!

I left his office smiling that i blinded my sight that i bumped into the waiter i met earlier. Thank God her hands were empty.
Jeez. I'm sorry she apologized.
No, am sorry. I wasn't looking.
No it's fine.
Umm, alright, thanks.

I left. Got into a bus home.
Today was good.
Finally.
