It's been 5 years,both of them had lived these years in search of something.
It's morning. The alarm ring…. A hand comes out of blanket to shut the alarm, then again goes in.
Suddenly Alora popped out of the bed and looks at the clock.
"Ah I am doomed! It's 7. How can I get ready and reach hospital in an hour?" Jumping and pulling her hair. "wait I have only 30 mins." Running towards bathroom.
The room was totally mess. Not even a single thing was at it place. Late night snacks, rags, her smelly clothes, her things were everywhere. She took bath and wore long oversized shirt with a skinny pant.
nothing changed in her appearance other than she became just more feminine. still beautiful and cute as always.
The door knocks. "Hey alora! alora!"
She replied 'Yeah aunt?'
Her auntie. Mrs. walker shouted from outside her door 'Why are there so many mails for you? Hey take this. Your electricity bill, here your water bill and here is your rent.' Sliding bills through opening.
Mrs. Walker was sister of Alora's mother. She looked after Alora for 5 years, from the collage days. A confident, fickle minded, materialistic woman in her 50s.
'Aunty isn't it unfair? Who takes so much rent from their own nephew.'
Hearing her words Mrs. Walker jumped in, pointing her finger towards her and her hands on her waist she said.
'How dare you. Think of it as a favor on your parents. they asked me to look after you until your internship. All these years I look after you. Hey how much I spent on you? Anyway Just pay me on time otherwise go back to your parents.'
Alora turned around to dry her hair and said in a blank tone 'Aunt, I'm getting late. I will pay you when I get my monthly okay. I don't have a single penny now. If you don't mind, can you move you are standing on my bag.'
Aunt replied 'Look at this mess. That's why your mother told me to have a special eye on you. The boy last time dropped you….' Alora stopped her
'I said I'm getting late can't you please leave. I will pay you for sure.'
'I'm going anyways. just came to inform you.'
As she leaves alora started murmuring "Starting in the morning. first that annoying alarm. I didn't sleep even for 4 hours and my dear aunt. what?! how much you spent? Bullshit!"
Putting makeup
"She didn't make any meals for me Not even on my graduation day. Care? Shit! Shit! Bullshit!! Always money. Electricity and water bill now rent. On the top of it you want my food balance? Alora just, just, endure. It's matter of just one more month. After that you can move from here." She collects everything on the floor. She ran. As fast as she could. The bus has already arrived at the bus stop.
In the bus.
Passenger; 'driver uncle what are you waiting for let's go!'
DRIVER; 'sorry but just wait one more min. a girl will be getting on.'
'So what? We are getting late. You can't do this. Is she your daughter?'
"Just 10 secs more sir. it's her habit of getting late."
"No! get moving driver"
Alora shouted "Wait! Wait!" she gets on the bus.
With a big smile. 'thank you, uncle.'
'Hey can't you be early. I will not wait even 10 sec. next time.'
'I'm so sorry. I won't do this next time.'
Saying sorry to everyone. She sat at the second last seat. Rumbling her bag.
