Chapter Six
"Rise and shine Sarah Young! This is a beautiful new day! Nailed it girl!" Her mantra as she opened her eyes.
"Hi Self, what is your message for me today?" Mantra, Reflection, Meditation, and listening to her instinct are what she learned in the last book she had read and she's applying it all right now.
She was earlier than her usual time to get up to do all the things mentioned above.
"This is useless… 30 minutes isn't enough to do all those things. Hays! I should eat now." Her complaints as she got up from her bed and fixed it, after all of those, she's now preparing her breakfast.
"I still have two hours before training today. Hmn… I can't believe it, this is all fast. Yesterday, I was still having verbal war with those foes and a cold war with life and now, here I am facing a different life. Next chapter sassah… What chapter would it be? By the way, this is a new path… a new job. On The first day, how should I start it?
"Hi my name is Sarah Young but you can call me sassah… I'm twenty seven years old and I am now living two blocks away from here because I hate traffic. I was able to finish a four year business course in college with a marketing major. I know how to cook and I am also into computers, writing, and graphics. I believe that we should choose our fight well. There's a good and useless fight. A useless fight can exhaust all your energy for nothing. While a good fight can also exhaust you but it will cause changes. It either makes you or breaks you. Now, I choose to restart my life and do better than my previous self." Her long narration as she facing herself in the big old mirror inside her room. She also did her make ups and went to take a bath. She smiles."Perfect!"
She's always talking to herself and trying her desired make ups before taking a bath – that's her hidden weirdness. She went to the Blue telecom building two blocks away from her place wearing a white semi-formal corporate blouse and plain cut red pants, and rubber shoes. She's a call center agent trainee now.
"I will claim this day and make it perfect for me." She smiled to herself. Everything is returning to its previous place now. The government declared that Quarantine is over and the virus is gone. People went back to their previous life. Reality of working life went back to the heavy traffic. Her phone vibrates as she presents her valid ID to the building receptionist to exchange a building pass for the elevator and the doors. She gave her thanks to the receptionist before she headed in the elevator and checked her phone messages.
>>>This Alpha for Batch 1001 reservist, this is to inform you that we will have our first meeting in the recruitment bay place indicated below. We need one hundred twenty warm bodies to start conducting reservist training for basic military service. Kindly confirm for attendance by sending your information<<<
She resigned from her previous job from the international well known brand of coffee shop to enter military service. She passed the entrance exam already and was waiting for the officer ship examination. She still signed up for reservist to gain basic knowledge before she applied for an officer position. She's a decisive person. She always makes sure that she's one step ahead of what is expected from her.
The elevator stopped on the ninth floor. She was mesmerized by the floor full of transparent glass that you are able to see on the outside. She has had fear of heights before but since she's pursuing an exciting and dangerous job, she's trained herself to overcome her weakness. Now, she feels excited whenever she's at the highest place as she looks down and sees what's down there. Her heart still pounded exotically and she smirked.
"Hmn…do I still need to beat you more huh?! Fragile heart?"
The trainer called them and discussed the activities for the whole day. It was an eight hours training session. They will train to adapt to western life since their clients will be American.
