The market has already started its morning routine , all the shops and restaurants aside the roads are already opened. People are running for their own work.
A lot of people are running on the road, some are running to lose weight some are running to develop six packs, some are running to go to their desired destination, some are running to send them to their desired destination, some are running to sell, some are running to buy. All of them has their own cause for running.
I also stepped on this busy road with a big plastic bag… Now here I’m running to get some good foods, and then I will be running for going home. And then for office and bla bla bla bla.
I kept moving forward dodging the crowd. I went inside the supermarket and went around. It took me a a while to get decide where to start. I went to first floor and moved here and there. I picked a lot of ramen noodles. I really love them, when ever I think of its cheesy and spicy flavour I don’t think I can ever get enough of this. And then I moved forward, there were a lot of beans, cabbage, tomato onion potatoes… It was all the vegetables over here. I looked carefully and picked nice and undamaged one.
After that I went to another side and took a packet of long rice. I love long white rice, instead of brown one. I picked more items one by one…. The finished spices, sugar and almost empty kar of salt made me add more items in my cart. Igot some bottles of cold drinks and few packages of milksand breads.. I went to the meat section at last. I then looked for some meat, among the meats I love pork the most. Sweet and sour pork is one of my favorite food. I looked for some good quality and fresh meats.
Then I came back to the counter and there were a long line of people already. Shh I went to the last of the line and stood there. A lot people were on the line. It took a long time before my turn cames. I was so bored and exhausted standing like that.
It felt like a tortoise was moving on the land.. I finally reach there and give the items on my cart to the receptionist. She checked all the items and gave me bill. I payed it. And i came out of supermarket.
Now the money was being drained. There was not so much money for me. I was worried what am I going to do after this. I have worked in the Golden Company for almost a month, but at last I had to leave the company. I haven’t gone there to settle my account yet. But now I think it’s better not to go, I have a lot to pay to Mr gold. If I don’t take that maybe a bit of money would be lessen from my debt.
I moved towards the appapartment. When i came to the park, my foots stopped and I looked at the place where I saw beast for the last time. My heart still feel some weird emotions even if I take his name. It was such a bad thing that he is not around anymore. I really missed him.
I looked at that jungle for a while, but the memory of beast didn’t turn into reality. I was staring at empty place, and no one was there . Beast… was gone.
My heart felt so empty and hollow while I thought of him. I really want him to be around me.
I shook my head and forcefully dragged my body to the apartment. I came inside and went inside kichen. Everything here was as I kept. Nothing hasn’t moved even a bit. And this means Cami was not still awake.
This girl……
I opened the fridge and put all the things that I bought into the freeze. After arranging everything, I took out a packet of food and mom from there and I closed the door of the freeze.
I turn on the gas and boil some water on it. I put sugar and Tea powder one by one. At last I put a glass of milk. Now my milked tea was ready. I put the two cup of tea on the tray. I took out one plate and added some breads on it and pit them together with milked tea.
I went inside the bedroom. I wanted to share my breakfast with Cami but she was still sleeping. Wow what a girl… She can go with her boyfriend at the middle of night and now she won’t woke up hmm….
“Cami… ”
“Cami…. ”
“Cami wake up…. ”
“Cami… Wake up fast tea will be cold and it won’t be worth drinking”
“Cami… ” I went to the bed and shook her from her shoulder. When I touched her rhen I realised that she was way too hot. She was really having a fever.
“Cami… Oh my God .. you are having fever? Why didn’t you tell me before? ”
“Hmmmm” She didn’t speak properly. She just hummed in response.
“Cami are you OK? ” I was panicked seeing her in this state.
“Cami” I called her.
She slowly opened her eyes and looked at me. “Ley… It’s cold” she murmured softly.
“What?” I didnt got her words properly.
“Cold ” she repeated herself. “it’s cold”
And this time I got what she was saying. I ran towards the wardrobe and took out one blanket for her. I put it on the top of her. I looked at her and she looked comfortable with this warmness. I sighed and went back to the kitchen.
I opened salts, rice and put them on their jars. I took a few amount of rice on a cooker and made porridge for her. I boiled water on a gas.
After few seconds I took out the water from the gas and take a towel with me. I went to Cami and make her blanket a bit lower.
I dipped the towel onto the water. I took it out and drained water from the towel. I slowly cleaned Cami’s face with the towel.
Cami can’t feel good when I first touched her face with cold towel. She make her face like crybaby. But then gradually her face’s expression came back to normal. I cleaned her hands and neck. I then put the hot towel on her forehead.
After few rounds of changing hot towels her temperature became normal.
I took out my phone and look at the time. It was quarter to eight already. I don’t know if I should take a leave or not.
I got up from the bed and went back to the kitchen. The porridge was already ready. I took out the porridge from the cooker, serve them on the bowl. I took out a spoon and went to the bed room..
“Cami” I called her ” woke up and have some porridge. OK? ”
I tried to lift her up but she didn’t respond to me.
“Cami.. Please get up. Just have a bite of porridge OK? ” I shook her again and this time she slowly opened her eyes.
“Ley” she murmured under her breath.
“I’m here Cami. I am here. Let’s got up and have something OK. I’ll get you your medicine too OK? ” I helped her got up. I put some pillows on her back side. She got up and sat on the bed with my help.
“Let’s have porridge OK ” I went to her side and sat on the edge of her bed.
“Here ” I took a spoonful of porridge and put it near her mouth.
“aahhh” I said.
She slowly opened her mouth and I feed her porridge bit by bit.
“have next one ” I feed her again.
“no… No… Cami not more ” she speaked very softly. She was so pale. I felt my heart breaking seeing her like that.
“Have rhis much please ” I feed her again.
“OK, this is it OK ? I’ll get you your medicine now ” I got up and take out a medikit from the drawer. And put out a moms from it. I went to her and feed her.
She slowly franked medicine with the water. After that I help her sleep. I took the tray of my breakfast and came to the kitchen. I reheat the Tea once more. After it was heated, I took a cup of tea and went to the living room.
I took out my phone and dialed manager’s number.
“tring tring”
“tring tring ”
“tring tring ”
“Hello”
“Hello sir. Umm good morning. I’m Riley”
“Yeah yeah Riley, I got you. What happened? ” he asked.
“Actually sir, Cami has high fever and I don’t think she can came today. ”
“Really? Did she take her medicine? ” he asked concerned.
“yes…. Yes sir. I just fed her some medicine and now she is taking rest. I called you so that I can ask for sick leave ” I said with nervousness.
“Oh… For Cami? “he asked
“Yeah. Umm actually… ”
” No problem, she can’t work if she came. It’s better to let her rest today. Its okay ask her to not to worry about job and ask to take care of herself. ” he said.
I never thought that talking to a boss would be so easy.. My mind instantly pictorials Mr Gold inside. It. And i remember how difficult is it to talk to him… foget about talking, I can’t even think straight when he is around. Phew …
