Mirror Soul

Chapter 26 A Start of Darkness Journey

Kendra fastly walking going to her workplace. The sky started to become dark. A drop of water fell into Kendra's hand. Kendra looked at the sky that had begun to rain. Kendra did look at her bag, " Where is my umbrella? I put it here inside my bag. Oh no..I left it on my bed this morning.What am I going to do now?" She put her bag on top of her head and had no choice but to run so fast up to her workplace. She finally came on the right time."Kendra, are you all right?" Teacher Jimmy opened the door and he saw Kendra gasping. "Yes, I am fine." Teacher Jimmy started to light up his cigarette and walked a little side so that Kendra could go inside."Kendra, go inside now, you might catch a cold. There is a towel in my locker. You may use it for now. Its a new laundry." Teacher Jimmy smilingly said and winked. Kendra was laughing hardly."You are really a joker but I like your sense of humor. I will go inside and thank you for your concern." Kendra went inside and took Teacher Jimmy's towel inside the locker. She went to the toilet to dry up herself. A strong voice came to her saying." Be always kind and have the courage, you will save from all the trials that life may bring to you."Kendra suddenly stopped on what she was doing and her hair on her hands stood up. The door of the toilet suddenly opened. "Oopps...sorry!I thought there is no one using the toilet."It was Teacher Jimmy rushingly wanted to go inside the toilet." Actually, I am done. Thank you for your towel. There is a laundry shop downstairs. I may go there during my breaktime and washed and dried it up then return it to you after." Teacher Jimmy said, "Dont bother yourself. Just put it inside of my locker." Kendra still wanted to return it clean and dry, "I insist Teacher Jimmy. Anyways, it is really fun to do laundry while eating." Kendra laughingly explained to Teacher Jimmy. "Well, if you really insist I wont say no. Excuse me, Kendra..I cant endure it anymore. I really need to pee.Its coming now." Teacher Jimmy's face was so destructed and shut the door." Oh..oopss Sorry, Teacher Jimmy." Kendra gigglingly said and left. Kendra started to work. Time was so fast. Kendra could not even see the time of her breaktime. Kendra spent her breaktime at the laundry shop for an hour. Inside the Laundry shop, there was a long chair. She sat there ate her foods while waiting for the towel to be washed inside the washing machine. The washing machine had stopped and Kendra took the towel to the drier machine. She began to yawn and took a nap. She started to dream and saw Tommy crying. Kendra saw how angry Tommy and telling to her something.

She heard this in distinctive voice from nowehere when the drier machine rang so loud. She woke up easily as if it was truly happening but then after a second she realized it was just a dream. She stood up and went to the drier machine to take the towel."How much does it cost all?" The lady was looking at her for a long time and wanted to say something."I saw you taking a nap a while ago. What you saw in your dream was true so dont ignore it." Kendra felt so weird about the lady and asked, " What do you mean?How did you know that I was dreaming when I took a nap?"The lady was strangely looking at Kendra and did try to change the topic so that she wont be scared at all."Nothing, It is only 5$. Take this plastic bag and you may leave. I still have customers. My laundry shop is so busy and no time for long conversation."Kendra really felt so strange to the lady. She felt that there was something that she didnt know. She just ignored it and left the laundry shop. At her desk, she could not forget her dream. It was so real and clear that she saw Tommy. While staring at her computer, she remembered what had happened between she and Tommy. Kendra switched her mind and ignored everything had happened that day. She went to Teacher Jimmy's table and left the cleaned and dried towel with a note "Thank you" from Kendra. Kendra went back to her station and started to make a call. The night was coming and Kendra still working that finished at 10 PM. Days went by. Months went by. 6 months later, Kendra's life started to crumble. The owner announced a very bad news. " This online academy will be shut down today. The business was not running so good for the past months and we needed to close the operation as of today."The teachers were so surprised of the announcement that the owner did."It is not fair. Why there are no notices before you close the business? You dont even think that we are all have family here. It is not fair to leave us all here with no job today." Teacher Jimmy claimed the rights of the teachers."We do understand your claim but even us cant do anything about it but dont worry teachers although you will be leaving this place with no job today at the same time a fresh new start for all of you as the company are willing to compensate you at least 1,000 dollars each of you."The owner apologized sincerely and explained well to the staffs on the decision he had to make instantly. Kendra could not say anything standing together with others and listening. It was a surprised for her but what she could do."I am so tired and I dont want to think of my situation right now." Teacher Marissa whisperly said while still looking at the owner." Can we do anything? None..As if we could! Its already

night so there is no use to complain this company. No one could give time to listen." Kendra just replied with her low tone of voice. The teachers could not do anything only to accept the 1000$ and went home."It is okay at least we do have 1000$ than nothing to receive. A lot of jobs out there. It is always a good start." Teacher Jimmy said to others. Kendra did not agree to Teacher Jimmy." Maybe for you but for me. Oh.. Hell no! I am so tired of repeating scenario that all of the places that I have been working for shut down easily after a few months of working. Do you think it is good? It is totally crazy." Kendra started to vent out what was inside of her heart." It is all right Kendra. You are not alone. Always look at the bright side. Things happen for a reason. Don't you think so?" Teacher Marissa tried to calm down Kendra and made her realized that things were merely temporary. The sun would shine again to her."Let's go home guys. Nothing will change if we all be affected on the sudden bad day we all had." Teacher Jimmy suggested and explained his opinion. All left the workplace and gone home.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
