A tough day…

Miah didn’t want to leave her home either…

When she got up and saw the outside, her arms extended loose towards the floor. She had prayed for rain, but didn’t happen. She walked toward the kitchen, put the kettle on the fire and waited for the water to boil. Slowly, as if she didn’t have strength, she filled the biggest cup she could find in the cabinet and walked to the dining table. She sat down, held the cup with both hands and silently looked at the sunrise.

«Dear God, if you can hear me, make all the possible so Mathew doesn’t come. I don’t want anything bad to happen to him, but I settle for something small that makes him stay in bed…», she thought.

She drank the coffee, left the cup on the table, got up and went back to the bedroom. The pictures of both of them in bed, enjoying that moment, appeared in her mind again. She took a deep breath to assume the big mistake, walked to the closet and picked a turquoise shirt and some jeans. She did her hair in a ponytail and left her house.

«Why does it seem to me that everybody is making more noise today? », she asked herself at the same time she put on her sunglasses and walked towards Mrs. Duffy’s house. «I’m sure that old Monty served us poison instead of beer…».

She went up the stairs to the entrance of the hostel and knocked the door. Even the slightest knocking bounced in her head as ringing bells.

“Good morning, Miss… “greeted Kathy”. I hope the night ended much better than it started.

“Yes, I can assure that. Although, I beg you not to raise your voice. My ears seemed to be more sensible than the rest of the days and I can hear how your nose puffs.

“I don’t puff, I breathe. And what’s happening to you is normal in a hangover “ she scolded her with a maternal tone”. Have you had breakfast? “Miah moved her head forward, but quickly stopped and put both her hands to the sides of it”. Come in, Virginia is in the kitchen finishing putting the food she’s cooked in the baskets.

“But… does that squalid knows how to prepare anything besides boiled vegetables? “she asked as she was walking in”. You know how people are here, if they see anything green on their plates, they give it to the horses.

“Don’t be mean, Miah. The girl has done what she could. If sure more than one will eat her food without spitting it. “she walked with her to the kitchen where Virginia welcomed her with a big smile.

“I won’t spit it in front of her “she said before replying to her new friend’s smile.

“Good morning, Miah. Could you get home or did you get lost in the way?

“And you’re telling me not to be mean with her?

“She learns easily “smiled Kathy”. I’ll leave you two alone for a moment, I’ll go change my clothes. Save the nails for the field, I’m sure you’ll need them.
