1 Bad Day

"Wakey wakey sleepy head

Is time to wake up" My mum said banging on my doors

Oh my God why can't this woman allow me to sleep a little, Must she Wakes me up now am enjoying my sleep?

I said turning and tossing on my bed, I yawned and used a pillow to cover my ears

I don't feel like going to work today but what can i do ? duty calls

Let me introduce myself

Am Christabel Daniels, 24 years old, the only child of Mr and Mrs Jackson Daniel, I amb fair in complexion, tall with long red hair, plink lips and beautiful, though is what everyone says but I still doubt if am truly beautiful, well time will tell

So as their only child, I feel like it is my duty to provide for them, make them happy and also proud, So I have to work very hard even if it means working for 24 hours a day am really ready

Bel are you still sleeping?

is 7:30 am already, you will be late to work " mum yell from outside still banging at the door

so wake up and freshen up or you will be late again, and breakfast is ready " she said and I heard some movement indicating that she is gone

Oh my God am dead x to work again, am finished' what kind of excuse will I give again?

guess what Mr Anderson is the name of my boss, he is very fat with pot belly

if you see him you will think that he is pregnant, funny right?

immediately I jerk up from the bed rush to the bathroom and took my bath without soap and hurriedly choose some random cloth from my wardrobe

I can't bear the consequence of going to work late

I rush downstairs where I joined my parents.

my parents have already started having their breakfast when I joined them at the kitchen

"good morning family " I greeted my dad and mum who were busy munching on their food

"morning sweetheart" hope you slept well? dad asked

yes daddy!

bel you know that you are late pray that your boss will not sack you today " my dad said

"come have something before going to work" mum said

Thanks mommy but am not in the mood this morning to eat anything, I will pick something on the way beside am late and eating now will add more to my lateness

sweetheart I know you are doing this just to provide and make us happy, but sweety you don't have to starve yourself every morning just to put food on the table"

dad complained bitterly

Mum, Dad you people should not worry about me, I promise to take something on the way and promise from tomorrow I will be joining you people for breakfast, please just this once and by the way am late already

so am off to work please lets continue when I come back please " I had to plead for them to release me

OK take care of yourself and please don't stress much" mum said

I promise, take care.

take care too

I have to rush out to work before my dad changes his mind and ask me to sit and eat,

it was already 9:30 when I reach the office,

" Hello Sandra good morning" I greeted my colleagues

" Bel what happened? why are you coming to work late again, what really happened?" she bombard me with questions

boss have been in office since 8 in the morning and you are just coming now "

" hey sandy please lower your voice " I pleaded.

"there is no need for that because he is expecting you in his office now as we speak"

"oh no am truly finish, I guess today is not for me and there is no escaping from it" I said within myself

I went straight to his office and knock at his door

"Good morning Boss " I greeted my boss who was truly forming in anger and was ready to bounce on me

" What the hell is good about this morning Christabel " He yells in an angry tone

" Why are you late to work again ? if I guess right this is your 5th time of coming to work late since this months, am I wrong ? he asked fuming in anger

"n....no s.....sir y....you are r....right" I answered with my head bowing

" am so sorry sir, please forgive me it won't repeat again" I said with a tiny voice

" the same story everyday, the same promise, the same words from the same mouth but failed to keep it" my boss said looking very very angry

do you know what! enter into your office pack your bags and leave my surroundings now

leave before I call the cops on you now because you are fired" he shouted with anger and I guess the whole office vibrated with the sound of his voice

I was lost no shocked, no this can't happen to me, my family, my duty, my life, my work,am dead

I was lost In my frenzy like state trying to process what I heard when I heard his voice again

"Christabel I said get out from my office and my surrounding before I call the security to throw you out now

am sorry boss please forgive me please give me a second chance I promise to be punctual from today onwards please " I said kneeing on the floor with heavy flow of tears gushing down from my eyes,

but i was very surprise that all my pleading, fall into a deaf ear

I know that one day such a thing will happen but don't know that it will be this soon,

because he has tried all he can to take advantage of me but I did not give him space, I know that he is not happy but what can I do! I can't give away my pride because he is my boss, I can't throw myself at him

he has slept with all his employees except me and I don't think am ready to succumb to his wishes, no I can't and I will never

With my head up I stood up from the floor, clean my face and walk into my office, I know am hurt but I can't show him how weak I am

With heavy heart and tears on her eyes, She packed her belongings

Crying wasn't helping her situation

dragging her bags while choking on her sobs was the sound one would hear, walking alone on the lonely road

I feel like the world is crumbling around me, everything seems to come to a stand still , time seems to be frozen, I feel like there is something tied on my neck, expectations, responsibilities and obligations seems to hold on to me.

Who would have thought that all my hard work will eventually ends today,

My goodwill and dedication brought me notting but pains, Today was truly a bad day for me.

She was lost in thought without knowing that the heaven is also crying for her , heavy rainfall and her cloth was drenched in the rain, she have to sit at a corner with her face down when she heard the sweetest tiny voice ever

"The strongest person is the one that don't let her feelings control her, They cried secretly when be broken, rejected and hurt and they tried as much as they can to hide their pains from others "

When she looked up she saw a very beautiful blue pair of eyes looking at her

"Hello miss cry cry baby, You are really disturbing my peace" The little girl said

By the way, Am Princess, and I was here sitting peacefully rejoicing and playing under this rain , thinking that I have escape from my dad and their so called birthday party without knowing my peace won't last long with your sobs

and to tell you the truth you look very ugly when crying " The girl said smiling.

Can you imagine am here crying and thinking about my life and this little girl here is calling me cry cry baby and to worsen it, she said am very ugly.

I Christabel very ugly?

When I open my mouth to retaliate back I heard another sweet but gentle voice but this one belong to a male and I guess he must be her daddy

When I looked up, Omg I saw the demi god himself, With blue eyes like hers , pointed nose and the most handsome guy I have ever came across with, with pink lips, Immediately I forgot all my troubles and pains just for a moment and OMG,

I feel like hugging and burying my lips with his, weird thought right?

Well you can't blame me because the man is over handsome and I guess many ladies out there will be dying to have him even for a night.

"And are you among the ladies ? last time I check you don't have time for this kind of thought except that your so called boyfriend of yours whom you don't even allow to touch talk of kissing and here you are drooling over a total stranger." My inner conscience reprimanded me.

I was still lost staring at him and battling with my so called conscience with mouth open

when the girl's tiny voice brought me back to reality. This girl is truly annoying

"Stop staring at my dad like that or are you planing to eat him up ? She shouted at me trying to get my attention and to worsen it she's still smiling

Well I can't blame this girl because I know that I look like a fool staring at his Dad like this.

"How do you know am staring at your Dad? I shouted back

"In fact you and your dad is very very ugly how can I stare at his ugly face, and he is not even my type " I yell at her

And I move out from there immediately before my mouth and this so called Princess or whatever she called herself will put me into troubles

Who said that he is not type! Am I joking or what, That's was my thought when I ran out from their Presence's

Like father like daughter.

I really hope we won't cross road again.
