hidden truth

Dark was the night swift was the dangerous yet mysterious wind that dance to and fro the empty street low yet slow moving song from a few meter away the distance whispering of the streets. Ann Mary couldn’t sleep; she tossed round the bed uncomfortable like a pet with both eyes widely opened Ann stared at the darkness of the room. Silly were the thought that ran through her mind like endless wars she smile with contentment where lover picture was fully built in her memory fun it was without Felix Ann thought life would be worthless and meaningless, vroom vroom rang her mobile phone Ann picked it immediately “hello Ann its Jason , still at the office” Jason a colleague yet handsome, nice guy Ann had remembered when she had a crush on him in senior high crazy but secondly the day he saved her from mean Mr. Macue wasn’t funny since that day they became friends surprised wasn’t Ann seeing Jason at Tick Tack enterprise he always had his way of doing things, “What!” Exclaimed Ann strange was the news, Ann turned sideways to the clock it was just same the next morning what possible could he be doing “just trying to get some heavy task done” he said in a jiffy “heavy task” Ann whispered between her breathe “just call to say hi, hope I didn’t stop the plane from landing in her dream island? of course not” Ann replied with chokes of laughter between “well talking to you has helped me a lot I guess is a goodnight or i should say good morning” “morning Jason see you at the office “she said and hanged up the phone Ann dropped the phone by the bedside and rested her back into bed she closed her eyes finally Mr. sleep found his way into her eyes and Felix found his way into her dreams. At the drop of a hail it was morning. Ann stood up all sleepy, but had work to do she dragged her feet lazily like a fat old cat to the bathroom after a warm shower and quick brush she was out “just a simple cloth would do” she said to herself as she unlock the door to the wardrobe in 30mins time. She was already quick tea and bread did it trick Ann came out of her apartment locked the door with a glance at the other apartments besides her she walked down the stairs of the contract house finally she was out. By 7:30am Ann was at the bus stop waiting for the commercial bus through the glass of a car she noticed the loose in her hair she turned to the glass window behind her to pack her hair properly while doing that the bus passed, Ann couldn’t believe her eyes as she ran after it but unlucky for her the bus had left Ann had to wait for another 30mins before a taxi came through the expense was high but she had no choice cause she was late. Ann arrived at the big store a minute earlier might have saved her. She ran as quick as she could into the elevator before she miss it in the elevator with order workers her heart beat fast Mr. Williams do owner of store who always watch her like a hawk and accused her of being late every time and Jason wasn’t goanna be there to save her goddam ass.
