In Grandma's place

Hi I'm Mira Rose 18 years old, this summer I was visiting my grandma as a request from my mom. Although everything was okay at that time since she give me some money (more like a salary) I never imagined that it will be a rollercoaster of emotional experience. I help out grandma with her household chores and some field work, most of the time I just lay in the bed, pick up my phone and start scrolling. My 2 weeks in here was great, untill worse came.

The local government lockdown the entire province. They said that a virus spread from one of the province near to ours and they need to contain it. I said to my self another week will not be bad. And then I heard that it will be a whole month, A WHOLE MONTH. "No, Mira don't be mad, don't be mad" I said to myself to calm down. It works untill their is a power shortage and the government said it will be fixed in 3 to 5 days due to the lack of materials and manpower.

WHAT!!! but I haven't charged my phone yet.

I cried in my room for the whole night, I almost breakdown. In the morning, after I finished my chores, I press the open botton of my phone even if I know it is drained. I go back in my room an stared at nowhere.

"Come on my lovely granddaughter, everything will fine but if you are really bored why don't you use this time to improve your self." that is what my grandma said while hugging me. But how could I improve my self, it's like multiplying a million by zero, I don't have any talent to improve. So I just laying down doing nothing.

The next day, was still the same. But I have to do something, I am literary dying from boredom. Like what is my purpose in this world if I don't have the access of necessity of the modern life. What will happen in my social life if I don't have social media. How will I face the world after this if I don't connect with Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

I feel like I am being left out, being separated from this world and being ignorant from common topics. You know how a coincidence happens and become a hot topics, some are videos and others are memes that revolves around the internet. It feels like that time when you're absent for one day in your class and the next day you attend it you feel out of place, like what is going on guys, what did you say happened to James, who's getting a what and what did say you about pop quiz in our Earth science.

While thinking about that makes me giggle. In a few minutes imagining things and remembering that silly post of Julie when she was drunk and post how ugly his ex were but at the end of it were hashtag like #comebackpls #totga #i'llneverbethesomewithoutyou and a couple of more. Then I heard a *thud* sound like something fell down in the next room. If I remember it correctly that room is use to be grandma's old study room. Curious to what made that sound, I go out of my door and enter the study room.
