That was an wonderful moring ever. when I get to the windows and opened the curtains I saw the marvelous view which i craved for. As i drove the curtains out, streaks of white sunlight entered my room. It was like i am filling myself with positivity. Before me was the french window with transparent glass guarding the room from the balcony. I walked to the door to my balcony and lifted my hands and opened the door to witness the cool breeze by the trees there which cannot be obtained even when spendings millions on air conditioning. The whole credits goes to the mother nature who gifted us enormously her environment without expecting anything in return.

I placed my arms on railing of the balcony embracing the breeze and it slided through my untied hair which made me feel alive. I heard the rustling sound of the small creatures like squirrels who were busy in working hard for their breakfast and the cute birds like sparrows chirping which made me blissful and water gushing sounds from the waterfall which was somewhat few meters nearby and they continued to make a trail of small river providing life to the animals and plants in that surrounding. I found myself at fault as my words were not even half way par to their originality i visualized. Out of all these there stood a magnanimous green mountain range which housed these abovementioned scenery.

I felt purely blessed and alive for being here as a person who was always surrounded by files, computers, presentations and people who speak different and do the things different.I can stand here for hours and days to witness the nature which cannot be fully enjoyed even when seeing for a hundred days cause the world is vast. I can never ever forget this moment in my entire lifetime.

while i was enjoying them i suddenly heard my mobile ringing . I sighed for a moment thinking about the people who urged me to work and not even letting me a moment peace to enjoy myself. I entered the room and saw the table beside my bed empty. That is the place where i always keep my mobile before sleeping at night. I started to search it. I thought that it was somewhat mysterious as the mobile ringing sound coming from my whole room and not from a particular place. I felt it was somewhat creepy as my surrounding started to fade from its original colours and becoming white which made me unable to differentiate between the sunlight and my surroundings. As a result i felt my head spinning ;my eyelids heavy, drowsy and i tried to open my eyes.After some hard time i force opened my eyes.

I eyes was a bit blurry and my mobile ring stopped. after few second i felt myself lying in bed and saw above myself the ceiling of my room in my house in London. I turned around to see my mobile on my sidetable. Reality striked me. I guess you people also realized it.

Yes, I woke up from my dream and today was 'MONDAY'. The time now was 7 am. I picked my phone to see that i got a call which i missed cause of my sleep. It's from my mother, I thought to myself that it was good i didn't wake up and also sad that everything i saw and felt was a dream.

I sat on the bed and indulged in my thoughts for sometime. Finally I got up some courage to take a 'BREAK'.

'MONDAY' - I don't hate this day, because I simply don't like it.If you ask me why? I bet mostly 90 percent of the people in the world don't like that day. For different persons, they have different reasons. For children attending school , this day partially gives happiness as they can go see their friends in school and partially they have to end their short special vacation with their family. If the same question is asked to a person who works, the answer is same, as he or she has to complete the work assigned by their superiors and they have to run in a wheel like a mouse in cage repeating the same sleep- wake- work- sleep cycle for the next six days.

Now, my turn of answering the same question, In my case I don't dislike all the Mondays to the same extent. Other than one Monday of the month, All other days I simply feel bored or tired of them. That one day, which makes me restless is the day of my family reunion.

Yes, you all heard it right. The Monday which falls the last on everymonth, becomes our family reunion day.

I have a five member family including myself, my parents and grandparents. I am now residing in my apartment near my workplace in city of London, whereas my parents and grandparents live somewhat outskirts of London in our ancestral home.

Usually my grandparents live alone guarding and maintaining our home most of the days of a month, as my parents will be out of the city or maybe country due to their work schedule. Whereas myself, I will be running my cycle of sleep- wake- work. Since this is our schedule, we can't see each other mostly. So an rule was made (I think, I played the major role for its making). The rule states that, every Monday which falls last on a month will be the day, when we all must leavr all our work, either it may be a lousy one or a very important lifesaving one, we must leave that one and must head towards our ancestral home for dinner.

Now, that forms the reason for me disliking that day and that day is none other than TODAY.

I started my day as usual. The first thing I do every morning is that opening my balcony door. Yeah, yeah you all heard that correct. Everyone starts their day by brushing but I am a bit unusual here. If you ask me what is there and what is there to do in balcony , I will tell you all that there lies my secret boost of energy. It is nothing but my small garden, where I planted all my favorites.

Except trees, I have there few herbs, some shrubs and flowering plants which includes roses, daffodils and lillies. I had to go through a lot of apartments to get a one with a large balcony as most of them can be found only in separate houses or large appartments.

I sometimes feel very low and lonely. So I searched for small appartments with large balcony than separate home, as they will be large and magnify my loneliness. That was also an another reason for my garden. Whenever I go there, i will forget my loneliness. That's why I refer them as the secret boost of my energy.

Now, time for 'MY DAILY WORK'.

...****************...

AUTHOR'S WORD: *Hello all, I felt very happy for the response of your support. I didn't imagine that i will gain this much support. I thank everyone from the bottom of my heart. My joy has no boundaries, as on the first day itself my work took a place in weekly rankings. Without your support it was impossible.

...Also I decided to give some extra info on the end of every chapter. Please continue to support my work and leave your comments to acknowledge me about your thoughts about the story*.'...

I returned from balcony after watering my plants and rushed to bathroom and got freshen up as I saw the clock ticking.

When I get to the kitchen, I pondered upon what to eat for breakfast. Opening my fridge, eggs got my sight first and I finally decided to make an omelet sided by a simple veg sandwich.

I had to swim through my wardrobe to pick my outfit as I had a poor sense when it comes to dolling myself. As I thought I might be late to my job I picked one dress with my eyes shut.

I wore my dress and gave a slight touch up for my face, as I have a smooth and clear bright skin I barely needed the help of make up kit. Also, it was somewhat good, that it greatly helps me save some time.

I took my keys and got my files ready as I have a very important deal to strike today.

If I say I hate my job, that will be an utter lie. As I loved to do it, but what I disliked was I cannot simply run behind my work all the time, picking deals, making ideas for presentation, etc.

...''Everyone must have some change occasionally for the better''....

This fact can be considered by comparing one to a simple machine, that's to say, we can't make it run continuously despite the fact it has no life. Be it a live human or a machine, they require nourishment by resting which will boost up their efficiency in whatever their corresponding work may be.

That's what I'm planning to do. Today, I'm taking a big step to lay a foundation for my change.

I hopped into my car, started it to leave my appartment towards the company where I work. Throughout my short journey to my workplace, I saw people swarming like bees and ants. That's to say that, as it was peak time of office hours, wherever I see I can find people rushing to their works either it may be buses or subways, they were literally flooded.

After I swam for 20 minutes between a tail of cars, I reached my destination. I parked my car and walked towards the entrance. Before I entered the elevator, I peeked the name plate of the company titled,

...' Melinoe Group '...

My lips slightly curled upwards. After I left the elevator, I dashed straight to my cabin. After I made myself comfortable, I turned to my laptop checking my presentation to make sure everything was fine. At that time I heard a knock at the door, I summoned the person in as I know who it might be.

A lady in her near 30 (it's approximate age. Kind reminder for male readers: DON'T EVER TALK ABOUT AGE IN FRONT OF GIRLS), entered the cabin. I rised my face up to see the enthusiastic girl full of smile in her face approaching me. She reached out towards my table and begun to speak.

''Good morning, mam. I presume that you had a great weekend " , she smiled as she greeted me. I had no choice but to sigh thinking about my so called dream. seeing me she added, " Mam, why do I have a thought that something's troubling you. You can tell me, I can't be sure if I can solve it, but I'lltry my best'', she asked me in a concerned way.

I can see the sincerity in her face, so I added with a smile, '' Oh my dear Anna, why do I feel that I'm seeing my mom right now''. She stomped her feet as she saw me teasing her. I can't help but I chuckled seeing her.

Anna Reeves, she's my personal assistant for a couple of years now, from the day I joined here. She's not only my assistant, but also my friend and an elder sister whom I hoped to have. As I said before, she's like my mom, stayimg beside me these couple years, supporting me, cheering me and caring me. Sometimes she may be ordering me too, but I know why does she do it, cause she also loved me the same way I love her. I may be her superior in work, but I can say that she's more capable than me.

I can also see a child in her time to time ,like now, I saw her pouting at me and I started to say, " Okay Ann, I'm sorry, I will make it up to you today. Today's lunch is on me, we will go to a place where you choose to have lunch. Happy now, shall we start our work now".

Hearing me she jumped in joy and put forth today's agenda, Wow she's such a child when it comes to food. Today's agenda was quite important as the company was from Spain.

The Board meeting room was already set up as today's meeting was sessioed three months beforehand. When the delegates from the other company arrives , I as the Managing director must receive them personally followed by the meeting session which will happen in few minutes shortly.

Some time later, Anna alerted me about the arrival of the persons and I walked out of my cabin to receive them. After that I walked them to the board meeting room.

Soon we discussed the objective of the meeting. Anna on our part explained about the offer and I can the pleased look on the faces of opposite parties. At the end of meeting they agreed to work with us and soon we discussed the clauses of the deal.

After a couple of hours in meeting, I sent the delegates off and returned to my cabin to resume my work, when I heard Anna, " Oh my, Mam what am I seeing, the delegates just left, why are you in a hurry to indulge yourself in work as soon as they left ".

Usually Anna will be very diligent in her work and she will never leave any flaw in her work and make me do the same. But the condition will change whenever she caught me overworking myself out. I can't get away with her nag.

Having a stiff smile , I added'' My dear Anna , I'm just trying to complete my work soon". I can sense her glare now, " Don't you ever forget that I am your assistant. I can see that the work you are doing now needs to be submitted by next month's end. There's no need for you to work tirelessly like this. There is a lot of time.''

I can sense that she's really really angry. I sighed before I answered her, '' Because I don't have much time'. She looked me as she saw me crazy, so I said, '' Don't see me like that Ann, It's sending me chills in the spine.I'll tell you about it clearly in our LUNCH''.
