Riki is a 25-year old office worker was now working from home because of the lockdown.
"This work from home thing can get boring. I miss the times when I'd just look up from my desk and see random stuff happening in the office. Which reminds me, I should tell Mr. Rodriguez that Ton has been snatching some of his precious chocolate candies from his supposed 'secret stash' which he's mentioned about to half of the office. Anyway, I don't think Mr. Rodriguez has noticed. He hasn't complained or said anything about missing stuff. But if I tell him, then we wouldn't have dessert anymore..." Riki chuckled and thought as she pushed her chair away from her desk to stand up. She walked to the kitchen to make herself a sandwich.
"I try to keep a schedule so that I still get to do a decent amount of daily work done. The good side to this work from home thing is that I get to finish a lot of things without much distraction. The bad side is that if it's an errand day, the long waiting hours in queue at the supermarket or bank can be exhausting and hot. I hate living in a tropical country! And I miss having some of the sweets and chocolates Ton shares!" Riki thought as she ate her sandwich in the kitchen. She washed her meal down with a tall glass of orange juice.
"So, here I am, admiring the sunset from my window. I've been doing this for the last week or so. How many days have I been cooped up here? Shoot! I lost track." Riki thought with a slight panic. She scrambles to click on her laptop which was on sleep mode. "Whew! The meeting's not until 2 days. I still have time to tweak that report." Riki slumps back on her seat after switching on the table lamp. The general surrounding is now turning darker as dusk falls. Riki glances back at the window and slowly, the city's lights are switched on.
"...three...two...one..." Riki thinks as she watches one particular window across from hers. The light in the living room switches on. A guy in a tank top and shorts walks up to a plant in the corner and waters it. Then he flicks on the switch on the wall above the plant before walking away.
Except for the internet, Riki doesn't really have much 'connectivity' to the outside world, more so nowadays. She closes her computer and stands up from her desk. She commands her device to switch on some lights around her apartment.
"Alexa, play Riki's dance list" Riki commands the device and in a few seconds, her whole apartment is filled with dance music. Riki begins to move to the music and spends about an hour dancing and moving – she's exercising.
