NEW BIGNNING

(Myra's dress upwards)

MYRA'S POV

I slowly opened my eyes, squinting against the light streaming through my window. I rubbed my eyes to remove remaining sleep from my eyes. My cell phone showed that it was 8:00 am I have to get up cause I have to leave for airport. I got up from my bed, went to my wardrobe pick out my clothes and went to the bathroom. After doing my daily morning routine and dressing up in a white floral dress with pink flower prints and white flats I went down stairs to have breakfast.

My mom was making us sandwiches while dad was reading newspaper while drinking his tea and my brother was sitting in his usual spot opposite my dad busy in his phone. I will miss him there, my brother has always been my support system. "Good morning Vince" it was then he noticed me and smiled at me. "Good morning to you too sis'' I hugged him. "Hey! What happened are you going to cry on me?" I playfully hit his shoulder and let him go. "It's nothing I just got a little emotional'' he is in college now first year he will be 20 in November but he acts likes my older brother. I went to my chair and sit down next to my father.

"Hey sweetie good morning'' my dad said smiling. I returned his smile and wished him "Good morning dad''.

"Are you ready Myra? Have you packed all your stuff?'' my mother asked from the kitchen. "Yes mum I have everything we can leave after having breakfast''. My mother has been very stressed from the day I told her that I have to go to Paris for my internship. I am in my fourth year of college doing Bachelors of Architecture and we have to do internship for six months in second semester of the year. I have always wanted to visit Paris so I sent my portfolio and other details to a firm in Paris and I got lucky and got selected. I am leaving today at eleven.

After having my breakfast I went to my room to check if I have forgot something to pack. I have everything I take my bags and head downstairs. Me and my father head to the airport. He is going to see me off.

17 hours later

We are now landing in Paris, France. Please fasten your seat belts. Thank you for flying with us. We hope you enjoy your stay.

As the plan starts to descend, the image of the city starts to gradually become clear. I feel my stomach turning into knots and my throat becoming dry because of nervousness. I have never been away from my family so moving away from them in a different country where I don't know anyone I am scarred as hell.

I feel tired as I walk through the crowded airport. I took a taxi to the apartment my dad has rented for me. The ride to my apartment was an hour long when we reached there, I look at the window to see a tall building. I took my luggage and walk to the front door. The entrance was simple yet beautiful I take the lift to third floor to my apartment.

I reached my apartment and enter it. It is a cute and cozy looking apartment. It's 11:00 pm there and I was really tired so I didn't feel like unpacking and I even have to go to work tomorrow so I just take out the clothes and other things I need for now and in the morning. I was just going to shower but there was a knock on my door. Who it can be I don't know anybody here?
