Rules and regulations

1031 Words
I carefully made my way to the room beside Mr. Carson's room which is his assistant room and now mine. As I entered the room I was surprised to see it very polished. One would think that after seeing this luxurious and yet professional looking building I wouldn't be surprised to see this room. But that is the exact opposite. This room looked very........ Sophisticated.  I was a orphan. So when I was in my college I used to do every work in order to sustain myself. I cleaned cars and worked in a very small restaurant and sometimes used to do three jobs which was really necessary for me at that time. I was a scholarship student in my university and it is not easy to work and study to keep my grades up. After days of hardwork, it seems as it was paid of. I made my way to my seat and slumped on it. It was very comfortable that I want to sleep on it now. I ignored the yawn that was forming and instead opened the rules paper which Mr. Carson had given me. And believe me after I read those rules I don't know whether I should hit my head or call them crazy. The rules are 1. Always bow to your superiors. 2. Never speak back to your superiors. 3. You should not see any of your superiors in their eyes. 4. Always respect them. 5. Do not go anywhere near them unless they asked so. 6. Never speak back unless it is needed. If anyone have read these rules they would have think that they were in some sort of mafia or they are criminals or they are royalty. But i know they are not in mafia and nor they are criminals because I searched about them and thankfully they are not in mafia. After my research is over I fully pledgedly accepted the job and then flew here. But I am not sure about the royalty......... But I shook away that thought away immediately because of course it is ridiculous. Why do I even think that? They are not Queen Elizabeth's relatives.  I hope so........... I shook away those thoughts and instead decided on working on my work which was a loads. I managed to complete all my work in two hours and decided to submit it to Me. Carson, instead of idly wasting time. So, I went to his office and knocked on the door. I heard a faint ' come in ' and went in.  I smiled at him and gave him the files. He took it and once again reviewed everything before signing them. He then looked at me and smiled. But before he or I could speak a man came in running and they spoke very quietly yet fastly that I didn't understand a word at what they are saying. Mr. Carson then looked at me and said " Why don't you go home? Your work is already finished" But seeing my hesitation he said " It is okay you can go home and this is only your fist day". So I just nodded my head and went to office room and collected my things and made my way out of the building. But not before receiving another glare and scowl from the receptionist. I wonder what her problem was ?But in stead of taking a cab and going to my room which was also given to the employees by Valentine companies I decided to walk. I recalled the memories of yesterday. It was something still lingered in my mind. Yesterday after I made it to my room from the airport, I was already exhausted.  But the fresh breeze outside is like a lure to me and that is why I decided to take a walk. I know that night time walks in an unknown city is not a good thing to do. But that didn't stop me from taking my decision and going out. Because I strictly believe following your heart is best.  Because I don't want to think what would have happened if I did take a walk.Such s small decision it is but somehow it effects us in one way or another. And that's lifes magic. So I took a normal hand woven shawl and wrapped around and then went outside. The fresh air on my skin is refreshing. I closed my eyes for a minute and savoured because contonuing. The road was empty totally. I decided to sit on a bench that is under a very old majestic oak tree. The cold was chilling and clouds we're forming. As the fist drop of rain fell the others soon started following. But the scent of Earth is intoxicating. Like a child craving it's mother warmth I watched them fall. And like mother gives comfort it gives me a relaxation.  As the time passed I decided to go back to my room because tomorrow is my first day at work and I don't want to be late. As I took a deep breath and stood I almost fell back because my legs are numb. And then turned and started walking but as I was near my room I heard a howl. My body froze for a minute before I walked fast in to my room. I really hoped to God that it was a very innocent dog. But not really waiting to see where it came from I reached to my room as fast as I can. After I was in the safety of my room I thought about it. The howl of that animal was filled with grief, immense longing, self hatred and sadness that I really wanted to go to that animal and comfort it. That was irrational of me. I shook away those thoughts as new questions formed in my head. What type of animals howl? Now as I think about it I got the answer.  Wolves. Wolves are the animals that howl. But why are wolves in this city. I realized that I was not moving thinking about those thought when a car honked . I mentally face palmed myself and decided to turn and say sorry to that person. As I turned and faced him the words in my mouth are swallowed. And I couldn't speak anything as I stared at him..........
