CHAP 5

Amira's Point Of View

I BELIEVE that it is better to give love than hatred. Someone once told me that if you have anger in your heart, you're just like a murderer. You will never sleep peacefully at night and most of all, it will be emotionally heavy for you.

Well, aside from that, it's not because you've forgiven the person who did something bad to you means you can forget the things that they did. All I know and believe is that when you get rid of the anger in your heart, it doesn't immediately mean that you have forgotten your trauma. Because sometimes, that trauma gives you a reason to learn. Like, you know your next step once you're in that situation again.

When I finished fixing the trolley, I immediately went around and cleaned the floor and segregated the garbage. This is what I often do. It's time consuming but it's worth it when you get the salary. Especially when I eat my daughter on her favorite fast food restaurant.

Everytime I get my salary  I take her there and let her order everything she wants to eat. But of course, I already divided my money for that day.

Time passed and I finished cleaning. Is it my vacant time and I'll be back later at three o'clock. I went to our locker and took out the food which is Nala's leftover this morning. That's what I do when Nala has leftover. I put them on my food container so that I could eat something and not buy from the cafeteria. Except that I don't like the taste of the foods on the cafeteria, their sales are also expensive.

When I got my container containing the food that I'm going to eat, I immediately went to the cafeteria. I took the place where there's a lot of blocks covering me so that I wasn't too exposed to people. It's not that I'm adraid to be seen eating a leftover food, I just really don't want other people to watch me eat and I don't want a lot of people surrounding me.

I'm honestly more comfortable alone. When I'm alone I feel like I know myself better and I'm more at ease. When there are many people being noisy, I feel like I'm going to puke due to my anxiety. Aside from that, I can't focus on what I'm doing.

"Your thinking too deep."

I stopped thinking about something when I suddenly heard Kieth's voice. I immediately turned to him and smiled.

"I guess, it's your vacant again, right?" I asked while laughing.

I just followed him with my eyes until he sat down on the couch in the cafeteria. Right after he sat down, he spoke, "It's more tiring to sit than to do something," he frown while talking then lowered his head on the table.

I laughed for a moment and put the spoon and fork inside the container before I speak, "That's way better than doing heavy works. How does it feel to sit down until you go home ?" I asked with a laugh.

"You'll get sick of it, promise!" He said.

It was almost three o'clock when Kieth and I said goodbye to each other. He begged me to come back on my area at three thirty because he I had nothing else to do and I had already cleaned my area but I did not agree. There is a CCTV and I can get fired if I'll be gone from my area for thirty minutes.

I immediately entered the elevator and waited to go up to the floor assigned to me. When the 24th floor button lit up, I quickly got out of the elevator and began to walk around with my trolley, to see if there is any mud on the tiles or if there is a spilled drink on the floor. It's rare to have such a scenario, but I'm still checking.

Other employees said earlier that the CEO of the company is strict. It will also be hard if someone will report me to the Master's Head Department and they'll also report me 'til I my issue reach to our CEO.

I need a job and I will do everything not to lose it. All the companies here are accepting only college graduate. If you're not a college graduate,  it is difficult to get into other companies.

I was busy checking the floor when someone suddenly spill the juice on the floor which caused the juice to splash on my uniform.

"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry, Miss." A girl apologized who I think is about eighteen years old.

"No worries, it's fine," I uttered.

She took a tissue and was about to clean the floor but I grabbed her wrist to stop her from wiping the floor.

"No, I'll take care of that, Ma'am." I said.

She immediately stood up and let me clean the floor. When I finished cleaning the part of the floor that was spilled, she thanked me causing her to extend her hand, "Thank you so much! Oh! by the way, I'm Ezekiah. 15 years old. Well, you can call me Ezy tho. And you are?" She introduced herself and asked me.

"Amira," I said while smiling and we shake hands.

When we let go of our hands, I spoke again, "You're only fifteen? I thought you were eighteen. You're really reallybeautiful," I told her that made her froze for a minute.

When I noticed that my mouth was too much, I immediately bit my lower lip and immediately apologized to her. "I think I spoke too much. I-I'm sorry," I apologized, shaking my head.

"No, it's okay," she laughed.

We talked for a minute and right after that I decided to leave.

"Hmm. I'll go first, Ezy. Maybe the Master's Head of our department will scold me for not roaming around," I uttered.

"Oh, before you go. What's your full name by the way?" She asked then smiled at me widely.

I smiled at her and spoke, "Amira Lopez." I uttered.

After we said goodbye to each other, I immediately returned to the locker to put my trolley. A little later I will pick up Nala at Eryl's house.

"You're going home? Let's go together," Kieth said causing me to jump in shock as while sitting down on the coucg in the cafeteria.

"I'm going to pick up Nala. You know, the vacation is over," I said with a smile.

"OH, I almost forgot. Since that's the case, I guess I should get going? I'll go first," he said then walked outside our department.

"Take care," I reminded him.

He immediately straightened up and even saluted me causing me to laugh.
