2 Turtle pacer

Juwan raised her eyebrows as a symbol of pity and just stood up from the office type chair at the time same pushing it backwards by her fair and thin thighs. Juwan was at her twenties. She was white complexioned, lean and tall. She has long and slender black hair. Her eyebrows were thick and black as the darkness of a moonless night. She has small eyes with thick black lashes. She got to have a short nose but a fluffy pink lips. She got to have long and thin legs.

She held the coffee mug from the study table and just walked out of her room to the kitchen to fill it with tea. She prefers tea over coffee, as coffee often gives her a uneasy headache. She loves the milk tea prepared by herself. It will be having a creamy texture and color would be a mix of sandal and coffee brown. Flavour would be balanced by both the white sugar and the tea leaves. She loves strong tea always. She atleast drinks about eight cups of tea a day. She is not a fan but an addict to tea.

As she entered the cooking room, she was relieved as her mom was not there as she went to the work area beside the kitchen. She silently slide the lid of the steel pot in which tea was kept and poured it into her mug, concentratively, while shaking her head to both sides. The mug was half - filled, no more tea in the steel pot. She with the same level of attention placed the lid back in to its original position. Holding the mug in right hand, she left the room without making any noise by raising her heels.

She went to drawing room, where the radio is kept on a carved wooden mirror stand. She loves to listen to music while doing something. She placed her long and skeletal index finger on the power button of the radio and switched on it. "kadhalikum pennin kaikal............",came the sound from and she started to move her upper body especially her 4-shaped shoulder to the rhythm accordingly. Then she twisted the volume adjuster to maximize it. She then moved to other side of the room and started to clean it up. Actually she loved cleaning and arranging the house because it makes her more stress free and a feeling of lightness. And she is also someone who put the maximum effort that she can to make it a perfect one. So, she would take more than three hours to do something when the others need only thirty minutes.

Thus, everyone teases and criticizes her for her snail like nature. But no one's criticism can change her now. Because she believes in her and at the most in God. She knows that even though her doings are time consuming, yet she gives a fruitful outcome even though she can't make it in time. Because at last all the appreciation will be hers along with complaints for delaying.

She considers herself as a 'turtle' and hopes to be the one who managed to failed the hare.

She believes that "slow and steady wins the race".

But she has a problem that is she is a last - minuter. She is a 'lazy latheef 'who waits till the last minute to start doing something. Still she will do it perfectly even though she has no enough time. And mostly she cannot manage the alloted time properly. Because her mind cannot bear it, if she is doing it casually. She feels guilty inside for not doing it perfectly. Eventually she have to do it twice, if the first one is not up to her point. She considers herself as having some sort of mental illness due to this type of thinking. Most of the time she writes notes twice or thrice, if the first written one cannot satisfy her. She have to do most of the things twice due to this tendency and then recheck it. But at last she enjoys a big lot of self - satisfaction as if someone who have overcame death.
