Day 19

We already got home safe. Then my aunt asked me to talk for a short time. I agreed and looking forward to it is good news.

My Auntie Sarah and I are in the living room, and no one wants to start over. Meanwhile… “Do you still love to stay here?” she asked me to give me a hint that she wants to say something.

“W-what do you m-mean, a-auntie?” I uttered.

“I am not pointing to anything; I am just asking you since many people need a job nowadays. Even you, I know you need it. But let me know if your graduation is coming,” she explained that I realized what she is trying to impact here.

“I understand, auntie. Thank you for letting me know. Thank you for your help and right now, my school doesn't have a specific date and time for our graduation due to the pandemic that we have. Yet, it will happen maybe soon.” I stated.

I don’t want her to think that I am just lying or what, I believe she knows what happened to our world. It's just horrifying!  We are still stuck, and we don’t have any idea when everything will go back to normal.

“Also, I am looking forward to you always doing your best here. I know this is just temporary,” she added.

Before she stands up, she adds something. “You and Miss Cecil will have a one-week vacation.” I smiled and said, “Thank you, auntie.”

After I heard some great news. I decided to have great plans for next week. I will make sure that I can fulfill her expectations. After staying for 2 months with her, I already sensed what attitude she had.

I go to my room to clean up my things and prepare myself because I have a duty by night. My schedule in this house is always graveyard. It is not easy to have this kind of schedule every day, but I think my body has already adjusted and accepted it.

While I was preparing, my phone notified me regarding my following writing pages.

They are looking for participants. They now accept poetry and short stories.

I open it and read all the instructions. I smiled and prepared a new piece because I will join again and will go back on my track.

I whispered and said to myself, Action is better than imagination.
