2024-10-29 19:42:56It was morning ..the day was still young but the city was not like as usual as the road were rare and there were only a few people walking along the road .Weeks before the eclipse happened,all medias announced that there would be eclipse that happens only once in a hundred years..and it was hazardous to see the eclipse straightly since it can cause blindness.People can see through something...a sunglass or through water ,Fin didn't recall precisely,all she remembered was what happened to her when she walked along the pavement.She believed that it was not necessarily fear too much to go out ,as along as keeping the important point to not looking at the sky where the eclipse was there ...it is one of nature phenomenon. Well ,that would be rare views when you know it was total dark for some moments at daytime when it's normally clear..
Experts from all over the world came to observe..it was really important time for everyone then.
Fin walked straightly ..her eyes were wet ..and she began to sob as she realized none care ..none even look at her for a second...that's city people....so she knew that she could cry not only in her room but also outside ...even maybe if you yell out loud none will give a damn .
The pain was getting deeper when she knew she was really alone ..well..there must be God...
But does it ever happen,God helps at the moment one got a big problem?
She kept on walking ,it took about an hour or so to get the train station.lt saved a bit money and it's good to walk health...is it still good to walk under the heat of sun ? She didn't care ,she walk under heat and under big rain as well .
"Come again next week for the next level " said Mr Lim .
Fin knew he only buying time to make her come again . Actually he could make it in one go for the 3 or for tests .
People use people
People need people
Sure it is .
In a decent or indecent mean .
That's the point .
Fin walked more slowly ,taking a small paper note from her bag and looked carefully, suited the address..
Should she go backward or forward ? Well go forward..she made sure if she chose the right line..that one was odd number ...and this one was even ...
Ok..she found it at last ,with heart beating faster .. each time ones go for applying a job,it's a real challenge... whether ones have qualified enough to be accepted for the job or not ..but you must gain your self confidence while ...
She looked around ..yes ,that's the name which on the advertisement..
A waitress for massage needed ...
There was music played in the background.. such French romantic music .
An instrumental with title "Emmanuelle" .
Fin stepped one more inside .The room all pink ,there were some plants at the side walls..and flowers on the bar where a receptionist sat.
In the dim light ,she smiled at her.
"Good morning"
"Morning,what can l do for you? "
" I read on the ads ,here a waitress needed...l would like to apply"
" Ok ..wait ..l am going to tell the manager "
Not long after ,the boss came . A thin Chinese with white shirt .
" Yes ?"
" I would like to apply for the job in the ads that you put in the newspaper,sir "
"Ya , vacancy for massage waitress..what is your job now ?"
"I am a freelance teacher at secondary school,sir ,l can manage the working time as lm freelance or l can resign from the school so l can be full time work here "
The boss looked at her some moments with normal expression till almost unreadable.
" Do you have experience in massage service?"
