First Day

I stopped before the door. "33/05 Central Home,GreenGarden,Jeneda", I mumbled to myself. I touched the door handle. I was really nervous. So,I hesitated a little bit before opening the door. I put my luggage beside. Slowly I unlocked the lock and turned around the handle. I opened the door with excited eyes.

                                                 I looked forward and saw a dusty,haunted room. "Really? It really looks like a haunted room", I exhaled. "I think I'll have to clean it up all the day", I told myself. I was expecting a translucent room. I suddenly remembered my mom's word, "Something happens naturally, something doesn't. Which one doesn't you'll always have to do it. Remember it whenever you feel upset." That inspired me a lot. So,I thought why I can't make this room better. I'll absolutely do it. "I believe myself,I can."

                          I pulled my luggage in the drawing room. Then I realized if I clean all the rooms then what will my roommate do after reaching here? So,I decided that she will wash everything. Even the toilet.

                                  Eventually I opened the tap of the shower. I didn't took the bath on bathtub because it was dirty. The toilet was in a bad condition though. But I adjusted. "I won't clean it,cause I've done a lot of things. She will do it. It is my order!" I punched my left hands palm.

It was really a hard working day. I never felt so tired before without a last-exam-night. It feels good when you take shower with a tired body. It would feel more if you use the bathtub. "But no way,I'm not gonna do it."

                     When I came outside the bathroom,it was 5:23pm on my wristwatch. I reached here at 11:17am in the morning. Now I really felt fresh. I headed towards the bedroom. I was scared for only one reason and that was I had to share my apartment home with someone I don't even know.

                           I opened the bedroom's door. I was overjoyed when I realized the bedroom was cleaner than the other rooms. I changed the bed cover and jumped on the bed. I felt a surge of relief so,I fell asleep.

           That's how my first day at my dream destination ended.

When I woke up I saw it was 7:43am on my wristwatch. I overslept this night. Though it was pretty tough day. Now I felt relieved. I opened the door and headed towards the bathroom. After brushing I washed my face very hard. With a soft touch my towel made me refreshed.

I thought it would be nice to have a cup of coffee. So I put the towel back on the hanger and moved to the kitchen. I put the coffee maker at a corner on the kitchen cabinet yesterday. I made a cup of coffee. I headed towards the sofa to sit.

As I went there my brain suddenly notified me that there was someone lying. A huge wave of panic attacked me and the cup fell on the floor. It smashed. But the scary thing was that whoever was lying on the sofa was still sleeping. So I got a chance to make a plan.

I ran to my room. I thought to call Mrs. Lewis. When I switched on my phone it was dead. I remembered I forgot to charge it since I reached here. My stomach was in great panic about what am I gonna do? Then I remembered about the knife set that I bought a few days ago. I took a big,sharp knife and went to face the trouble.

              When I approached there I pulled up the blanket. I was shocked to see that it was a man. Maybe not too old but still a 'man'. My hands were trembling. I gripped the knife tight and said, "Wake up." He didn't move a little bit. I shouted, "Wake! Up!" A very low voice said, "Stop Nat,I need to sleep."

Listening that I became angry. I was there to beat him and he thought I'm 'Nat'? I asked myself. And anger gripped me hard. I yelled, "Wake!!! Up!!!, I'm not Nat." I pointed the knife at him.

Slightly he opened his eyes,he didn't look at me. Then blinking his eyes once he stared at me. He said, "Nat, don't try t...", he stopped. He watched me carefully. Then he asked, "What do you want?". I raised my one eyebrow and said, "But I think I'm supposed to ask this."

                   He gazed at me and smirked. "Are you kidding me?" He said. I was surprised seeing how can somebody laugh when someone is holding a knife before him. I told him, "No,I'm not kidding. I'm asking you this question because this house is mine. And how come you think me your 'Nat' when you know where you are?". His tone became serious. I warned him, "Tell the truth,or I'll call the cops." He told, "Oh,lady,I can explain. I have the permit to stay here. My mom bought this house." I became thoughtful.

       "Okay then show me",I ordered. He opened up his trolley and found the papers. Holding the file stared at me. "But why should I show you?" He asked. I was stunned. I slowly put the knife down and whispered, "Cause this house is mine." He said, "Fine,then show me your permission." A moment passed. "Proof instead of proof", He told.

I thought for a moment and went to fetch the file. When I came back he was pointing his file towards me. I gripped that and gave him mine. Both of us carefully read it. "I found nothing inappropriate." We said the same sentence simultaneously. It was kinda wierd.

                   "Do you have charge on your phone? I think we should call Mrs. Lewis." I said. "And please forgive me for the misunderstanding." I said in a lower voice.
