Chapter 4 – She plained
Naomi's phone rings, but the girl can't pick it up. At precisely 3 in the morning, she woke up with a pain in her head. An object had struck her. Naomi tried to get up from her bed using the chair's handle and sat down. When she saw the hourglass, Naomi's memory was awakened when a scary figure visited her.
She was about to throw it away, but Naomi got a flashback about her life again, and the intention to commit suicide was the primary goal. No wonder, from yesterday, she felt she had lost something just like that. When that determination reappeared, Naomi was grateful for having returned before something terrible happened to her.
She was sure that before Naomi believed so much, she had given up her life to die in the forest. But now her feelings of fear were haunting her. When the two creatures had disappeared and left no traces, even though they were only raindrops, she was still shivering to ensure that what she was experiencing was not a bad dream.
The hourglass was on the table again as if to indicate that it must quickly complete its objective to survive this time.
"That's right, I've already hung my life once before," Naomi said, accompanied by echoes of lightning extinguishing the apartment. she stood fixing her side well as if nothing happened after cleaning herself up. Naomi put the hourglass where it was easy to see and the slap rope in a box beside the study table.
She sat down and took her notebook, writing everything she had experienced before returning and getting that horrible incident. Naomi was fortunate that her memory of this matter had not disappeared because, from the stories she often heard, there were many cases of memory loss when she was reborn.
The digital alarm rings while the owner is already tidying up in front of the mirror. One night Naomi didn't put herself to bed. She had subconsciously prepared and recorded it in an entire book, hoping that everything would be noticed and it would end well.
She had prepared work equipment and remembered tidying up the items for the next few days. Naomi went down using the elevator when it was still dark and few people were passing by. She only greeted the security guard who had worked three months. Many said that the man was often in and out of work because he interfered too much in other people's affairs.
However, they still hired him because the company's agency saw their strengths in him, which was useful several times. She saw that the person looked normal, and not long after, a service delivery truck arrived in front. Naomi lowered her gaze and ensured she was right to order their services.
The man came down and greeted her. Without asking further, Naomi handed over the cardboard box to them.
"Address as ordered, huh?" asked the officer, the smell of blue clothes smelling good, indicating that they had just filled the first shift of the morning. Naomi nodded her head. After sending the package, she waited for a taxi and rushed to the hospital. She arrived too early and didn't want to disturb Nara, who was still asleep.
Naomi only left the basket for the nurse who was about to enter the room. She previously received an offer to visit for a while, but Naomi refused because there was still a lot of work. After doing activities, she returns to the office, which takes a long time.
"Sir, is there a package that has arrived at my desk?" asked Naomi. The security guard did not recognize her because she was a new employee, so she asked for an identification card. Naomi showed the card hanging around her neck. After staring for a moment and checking using the computer finally allowed her to enter.
He also said that the package was already there because he had just delivered it to that place. Naomi thanked him for helping her move her things, and she left the security guard, who was still staring at her through the window. He salutes Naomi's enthusiasm for coming to work early while the sun has risen and the company will only open in a few hours.
She went through the places according to the worker's status and seating position, and nothing changed except that Naomi's work was more exclusive than the other colleagues. She got her glass-walled workspace to ensure that Naomi holds an important role in the company.
It sounds like a joke, especially when the company needs employees in important positions when they could have promoted other employees who have worked hard for the company for a long time but prefer to recruit new employees. Naomi promised to take advantage of the opportunity and use it well.
Since she arrived at her company, Naomi has worked on assignments to be given and at the first meeting with introducing new people. They were gathered in front of the corridor. Angela ran irregularly, and it was clear she was still drunk.
Naomi couldn't bear to see her best friend in that state, or else she would let her vomit on her first day of work and give her some pheasant medicine. Angela expressed her gratitude to Naomi; even though she clung like a child, she cared for much. When their senior explained several things that had to be obeyed and what was prohibited by the company. Finally, the group of people on the first day of work disbanded.
"Have you received a package from me, Angela?" asked Naomi.
"Yes, but I didn't have time to open it because I was in a hurry to come to work." Answer angela. She asked what was in the package, so Naomi asked if Angela had received it. Naomi explained that it was a gift because it had been received at the same company.
