Your Time

Chapter 1: Eyes According to internet in biology life can define as " the condition that distinguishes animals and plants from inorganic matter, including the capacity for growth, reproduction, functional activity, and continual change preceding death " 2. the period between the birth and death of a living thing, especially a human being." In religion life can also define as: 1. Either of the two states of a person's existence separated by death (as in Christianity and some other religious traditions). "too much happiness in this life could reduce the chances of salvation in the next" - 2. Any of a number of successive existences in which a soul is held to be reincarnated (as in Hinduism and some other religious traditions). "a spiritual pilgrimage into her past lives" A life can define in different way, and different words also, but if you keep scrolling you can find the sentence People also ask and there's feedback. You can see the different questions but what caught my attention is the first question wherein the question goes like this: "What is the true meaning of life?" According to Frankl, meaning can be found through: Experiencing reality by interacting authentically with the environment and with others. Experiencing reality-- around 7.9 billion is the total world population this year so that means around 7.9 Billion billion experiencing the true meaning of life? I will make exceptions. Life can be complicated sometimes one of a reason why some people make their own fantasies. They were hoping that one day they will met a man that can love them unconditionally spoil them on all things having handsome face, well built body that have six packs abs obviously and most important is he is millionaire or billionaire, a usual life you can find in a pocket book or ebook that is famous in this generation. Almost of the people same age with mine have their own fantasies but they prefer calling it as a "dream" When I ask them why they chose to call it a dream they say "Trust me it's more likely to happened in a future maybe in my 20's." But that's not a case when you are talking about me. As I grow up I never dream to met a man that can love me unconditionally, can spoil me in all things having handsome face and billionaire. I just wanted to live a simple life that can gave me a peace of mind. And I believe that it can be only found six feet under the ground. We're now on the 21st century, when you don't work no one will give you money. Let's be frank If you don't have enough money you can't gain the respect of other people. The people now a days respect you based on the standards of your living. "Miss, with pink shirt you didn't pay me for my service" I can feel the forming cold sweats in my forehead as I shifted my gazed to the taxi driver my eyes widening each second. Everyone's attention was drawn to me even the street food vendors around the streets bother to turn their gazes to me. Some squinted as if they were judging me. I just lowered my head, and silently laugh in my mind, when I see that my pair of rubber shoes is now old fashioned it's color already changed to it's normal color. I didn't know where the hell is this shoes came from as far as I know someone just sent a surprise package in our home and the package named after me, at first I'm confused and also surprised I even hesitate to accept it but the delivery boy insisted I don't have a choice but to accept it for the sake of the man who deliver. I ask the man who deliver where the pair of shoes came from but he say he also didn't know but he told me that this package is not part of his job as a rider who deliver the things that customer ask to. Because when someone called him to pick up the package it's already not his working time he told that on the other line but the person really insisted and said that he can gave a 3 bars of gold and 1 diamond in exchange he will deliver the package the man ask to , at first the delivery man laugh he thinks that the sender is taking drugs that's why he is hallucinating and out of his mind. Out of boredom he agree to met the sender to the nearest fast food chain but when he arrived someone text him. "I can't met you right now, something got out of a hand, It's emergency. Please proceed to the table 8, the table behind the powder room, I ordered something for you to eat then the package you will deliver is in the box with yellow ribbon in top, then I gave also something for you I put it in the black satin bag as a thankfulness to the favor that you gave" The delivery man is having hard time to find me because he doesn't know my address and the sender don't give address she just gave my name But we know that delivery man always have a ways. - When I reach the taxi, the driver open it's window, and released a heavy sigh. "If I don't call you, you won't pay." He looks so disappointed and stress I feel so embarrassed with that. "I'm so sorry sir, I just forget, maybe because my mind is too preoccupied right at this moment. " I explained my side to let he know that I don't have a plan to run without paying. I went over my things to get my wallet. I heard the people talking obviously the topic is me I opened my wallet and held the money to the driver. When he already hold the money that I pay, I waited for a second to wait for my change because I know I have given too much. I didn't expect what he do next, he close the window of his taxi and drive away he didn't bother to gave my change. I worked hard to earn that money I can't do anything I hoped that money can convert his stress face into happiness "Young people nowadays seems like don't have manners, Maybe their parents don't have time to teach them, Maybe her mother is a w***e then her dad is a gambler and she's the outcome, She's quite beautiful but don't have good manners, beauty is nothing when you don't have manners, such a waste. When she grown up she will be another problem of the government." I was barely taken aback by what I heard, I slowly lifted my head. It came from a women maybe her age is around 30's she's discussing it with the street food vendor. The vendor just chuckle a bit. "Maybe she just forget about it, you know teenagers in this generation is busy thinking about random things, Don't judge her by just what you see." "You're really on her side, aren't you?" The women is now pissed off. I shook my head and released a deep sigh I arrange my things and walk away. But the fate is playful sometimes In coincidence We were together When we were crossing the pedestrian lane. "Miss can you repeat what you said Earlier?" I asked uncontrollably The woman don't answer. Reason for the annoyance to rise in my chest "Can't you see that it was an honest mistake?" I pause. "And by the way don't you dare to include my parents with your stupidity" I said trying to control the demons inside me "I paid, I didn't run away my debt. I'm minor but I can earn money by my self. I don't ask money to my parent's even a single centavos" I stated. Trying to control my anger. "Don't stick your nose in others business woman " I coldly said those words in her ear and walk away but I can feel that she froze for a moment but I don't bother to turn my gaze to her. - "You're 10 minutes late, Kharter." The manager scolded me when I arrived here in coffee shop she using her authoritative voice while typing something on her phone. "I'm sorry ma'am, I will extend my working hours if you allow me to" I lowered my head because of the embarrass I felt. "If you say so" Our manager shrugged and had her final sentence and walk out when someone called her. I started my job here in coffee shop 3 days ago I make it as my one of my part time job I took the night ship because in daylight I'm going to school. I'm now in my last year as a junior high school. "Hi Allyson" Chin my friend and also she's co worker here in coffee shop greeted me she's also a working student like me and we are on the same grade but different section. This Coffee shop is really have a big help to the teenagers like us who wants extra income with only 5 hours working time I greeted back and proceed to the locker room to change my clothes. When I'm finish I go out and move to my station which is the counter. "Hi sir welcome to ACS cafeteria, May I take your order now?" I said sweetly, That's the thing that our manager told us to do, I don't know what's the reason or logic behind that but I still do. For the sake of my work. "Oh uh One large espresso and one small caramel latte miss" he said shyly and smile that make his left dimple appear maybe his age is same with mine, I nodded and pressed his order. "Do you want to add up some desert sir?" I ask again, that is one of our strategy to increase our sales and make bigger profit. "What's your best seller miss?" His question really click something in my mind.I smiled sweetly. "Tiramisu is our best seller sir. You should try it." I said directly looking into his hazel eyes he immediately nodded looks like he doesn't think about it "Tiramisu -- Tiramisu not familiar to me can you explain what is Tiramisu and what is the ingredients behind it? and it's taste?" The guy shyly asked. He even turn his head side by side to assured that no one is looking when he asked. And he started to massaging his nape. "Tiramisu is a coffee-flavoured Italian dessert. It is made of ladyfingers dipped in coffee, layered with a whipped mixture of eggs, sugar, and mascarpone cheese, flavoured with cocoa." I pause "The main flavor of tiramisu is a sweet, creamy, coffee flavor. Tiramisu has a very unique flavor profile which adds to its popularity. Its is a sweet combination of coffee, creamy mascarpone cheese, cocoa, and rum" I gather my thoughts and briefly explain to him. "Yes, I'll get one Please" he responded. I type his order and wait for the receipt to came out. "Sir kindly write your name here" I handed him the receipt and ball pen and ask him to write his name to the back of the receipt. "Yeah, yeah" he starts writing using his left hand, Someone told me that the left handed people is good in drawing and the penmanship is good, let me see. Alexander When he finished writing his name he handed it to me "Is anything wrong miss? You can't read my name? Is my penmanship really that bad? " I can feel that Alexander saw that my eyes is focusing in his name I lifted my head to see him he's quite handsome . "N- No Sir you have a good penmanship and I heard left handed people is good in drawing, I suggest sir you can take architecture when you will step college your skills can be a great help to you" I stated but Alexander seems enjoying he even laugh out loud. My co workmate heard the laugh of this f*****g man, they even look me using their judgemental eyes some even turn their gazes to me then turn to the guy then smile like a crazy. "Sir I will call you on the mic when your order is ready" I gave him the table number. When I gave him the table number he also quickly hold my wrist and I can feel that there is something in his touch. It's like he's controlling my body or even worst he reads my mind but no-- I am the only one who can control it. As we exchange looks, I could feel that there is something in his hand that I can't put into words I tried to turn my head on the other side and my heart beat is rising when I see that everyone is stop working their are froze. When I turn my gaze to the wall clock it also stops working we are the only one who didn't stop moving even the customers eating froze for a moment. It makes me shiver, The cold sweats in my forehead starts multiply their numbers . my knees are trembling. my mind is not working. "Wha- What Happened?" I gather all of left courage and nervously asked. Any moment from now I know I will passed out but I managed to be strong but my voice don't cooperate. Every minute my knees is Weaken. "Your eyes change it's color " Alexander said flatly directly to my eyes. I lowered my head and I tapped my feet multiple times to the ground to stop my knees from trembling and to calm my self. but it's no use. My heart really beating so fast to it's normal state I'm so nervous, it's feel like I'm floating. I can't utter anything even single word.
