Chirp! Chirp!
The alarm tone chirped loudly. Nivritti sat up with a jolt and urgently searched for her phone. She forgot that she slept with her phone in hand. So, the first place she looked was her side table. But her phone was not there. She then looked on her pillow, the phone was still elusive.
Chirp! Chirp!
The alarm tone kept chirping.
"Ahh… where are you?" she groaned with frustration. She inserted her hands below her pillow, and there it was, her phone, tucked between her two pillows. Immediately she shut the alarm off. The first thing she noticed on her phone was the notifications. She dragged the notification bar and looked around.
All were marketing notifications from various apps. She was disappointed as there was no reply to any of her messages. Neither Young-Chul, Jung-Hwa nor Kyung-Soo, replied to her back. She exhaled loudly and slouched her shoulder with disappointment.
