In the dark
Clothes, phone, laptop, toiletries, Keys okay I've packed everything left of my things. Time to go. My neck is strained from sleeping on the couch. I'm wearing my jeans and blue hoodie... shoes I should put on my shoes and then I'm ready to go. For no point. Maybe it's good, I don't have to get nagged by mom everyday. I'd miss the dreams I get here every night though. I smile in the mirror and oh no no no "Mom!" I shout, no response. I step down the stairs "Mom! You sent away all my shoes" I yell too loudly and she comes running. "Why yes, there are too many for you to carry in a luggage so I put it with everything else, but I put them in a seperate box you'll find them there very easily" yeah, you should have told me so. "You should have kept atleast one pair, what am I gonna wear now?" I lift up my left leg. "Wear what you came home with yesterday" she says nonchalantly. "they're high heels mom, you want me to pair them with this? " I am not going to wear like that. " It's fine, you'll be in the car and then right in your house anyway, now go you still have to eat breakfast " she waits until I go back and come down. Ridiculous.
Okay this is great actually, pictures did this wrong. Terrace with glass fence, lawn to the side, two ways to come and go, 2 floors, the movers are still there. To help me arrange, yes. "Wait Dani, take the trolly inside" I ignore her and lead on. Mom didn't mention once she and Ram are going to come with me. "Here I'll take it" I hear him in the back. "Mam, we already put some furniture in place if you want anything changed." I look around, mom knows what style I like, but she should I always showed pictures of like to change in our own house. As it's a new house, it's all fresh, the grey paint, the cool ceiling.
"yes done, thankyou" the supervisor shakes hand and leaves with his workers. My house is officially rea-... my house. Ram is making the kitchen ready. I head to the main bathroom in the first floor. It's very spacious and clean and dark. Tub looks a little small, hm. I arrange the cabinet then wash my hands. My face suddenly looks like that of a field worker, farming in the sun. Like really looks like it, not just comparing. whoa.
"Dani!" I think they're ready to go. I head downstairs, ay. I rush over and sit down on the new green couch and hold up the flute. "Congratulations Dani" Ram pours it almost full to glass. I sip right away, it's reviving and chill. "Dani, why did you do that" she scolds. I swallow and join their glasses for toast. "Independence to my girl" heh okay that's good. Ram recites same except not the my girl part. We clink and drink. "Alright so, we'll leave now" Ram puts a few small boxes with me. "Call if you have anything to do with me honey, I'll be just a few kilometres away" she laughs. I nod and smile, they wave and leave. Thankfully Ram drove my motorcycle here, so one less work for me. I have to unpack all my things now.
Wonderful, new bed, new house, new atmosphere I am not getting my sleep at all. I get up and look out the window, it's so dark outside, clouds, road and one single lamp post. I'd like to draw this someday. I am so tired I want to sleep. I am alone in my house though hehe excellent. I totally didn't think about. this. I can watch tv all night. So first, let's get some ice cream.
I open my eyes with pain in my neck, and cold. I slept in the middle of the movie. phone where's my phone, ah there it is. "4:37" mmm, the day is endless. Maybe I'll go sleep in my room now. I sleepishly walk to my room and plop on the bed. "ow-ay ay" I roll over and rub my back. Boxes. I open the red one, a knife set, I scoff. Imagine if I opened them and then left here. Next item. It's a scarf. Another, kitchenware..then chocolates. Cool they're all good. Hmm?I shake the last box is it empty? I tear the cover and a black box with some design, cool. I open the lid. " What the fuck!?" I cover my eyes as bright red light fills my room. " What is this?" With my peeked enthusiasm I open my eyes slightly and get up to catch the floating light. Is it hot? I touch it but I'm knocked over, but I felt it turning into bits. I rub my fingers.
" What!" I wake up in a jolt. No light. I look around, piled empty boxes. " wait, where did that design one go?" my my was I dreaming? Then that's awesome, my brain is so creative. I laugh on my morning happenings. But if it wasn't a dream? I look out the window. New house first night, first morning. I look at the clock again, it's 5:00. I don't think I'll be able to go to sleep. What should I do? I'll take a bath, a long warm bubbly bath.
