Mirror Soul

Chapter 27 Following the Voice

Kendra left again with no job. "Why life is so hard and unfair? I have been so nice that I could possible be to the people around me especially to my parents and siblings. I only wanted to fulfill my dreams and goals and live with it. I thought life would be easy for me when I started to be independent. I thought I would be living happily, and freely." Kendra continued crying until she got tired and fell asleep. A strong voice from no where kept saying to Kendra "Be always kind and have the courage, it will save you from the trials that life will bring to you. Get up Kendra and walk around outside then you will find the solution of your problem." Kendra suddenly woke up,"Where is that voice coming?" She looked out around her room. She got out her bed and went to the bathroom. The water continued flowing so fast and she washed her face. She look at herself on the mirror. A strong voice again, as she clearly remembered what she heard. "Be always kind and have the courage, and I will save from the trials that life may bring me? Walk around outside and I may find the solution of my problem?"Kendra kept saying it to herself again and again. Her hair on her hands stood up. She literally did not even want to ignore the voice. She felt that there was something that she needed her to follow it, so she did follow the voice. She would still do her best to be always kind and have the courage for the sake of her own dreams and goals."I dont want to give up no matter what. I will just go with the flow of life and be flexible. There is nothing gonna happen in my life if I would only cry inside my room." Kendra rushingly prepared herself. She wore a black business attire and tied her hair with determination and motivation. She took her folder with her resume inside, left her apartment and started to walk around the street. She walked so long and she began to get exhausted. She saw a convenient store. She went inside the store and bought something to eat."I wanted this and that.. I love sweets. Oh my God the bread that is my favorite." Kendra was having a happy moment on the foods she saw and took."Excuse me, Are you going to buy or not? If you are not going to buy then could you please move a little because I wanted to get something there. You are blocking my way." A tall, dark, handsome, with a mustache on his face wearing a long dark blue polo arrogantly popped up to Kendra's face. When Kendra saw him, she pretendly smile and gave him way to get his item and started walking to the cashier."Arrogant pig!You are handsome but acting like a woman. Oh, Kendra.. He is not really my type." The man heard it and

looked at Kendra, " Are you saying something?" Kendra looked at the man and saw the man looking at him with a serious face so she turned her eyes up," Hmmm.. No..I am not saying anything. I am just talking to myself." Kendra was at the cashier and took the change to the cashier boy. She left the convenient store fastly. She again started to walk around the convenient store while eating her favorite bread. She was so hungry to death. She walked more then saw a travel agency and with a post that needed a staff."I think today is my lucky day. Any job as long as it is decent and legal. My dream job and goals please forgive me as I have to set aside your for the mean time. I just needed this job right now so that I can survive and pay my bills!I cant believe this.. Is the posted job true? I cant even pronounce the name of the agency. What is this kind of language?" Kendra ignored the name of the travel agency and push the glass door." Good Morning, How may I help you?" A driver named Eric, a very thin guy wearing a casual clothes asked Kendra what she wanted." I saw this post. I am looking for a job and I want to apply." Kendra had showed to Eric the post at the front door." Yes, you may apply but the owner is not yet here. My boss will be here after an hour. No one can interview you except my boss. Are you willing to wait?" Kendra looked at her watched. She didnt have any choice because she needed a job right away." YES! Ofcourse, I am willing to wait."Eric offered Kendra something to drink and showed her the office while waiting. Kendra's phone was ringing, her mother was calling."Excuse me Eric, I have a call to take." Kendra went out of the Travel Agency and took the call."When will you send the money?We needed to pay the rent for this month. It is okay if you didnt want to go home but dont ignore your responsibilities here in the house. I sacrficed you to be borned on this world so you have a debt of gtatitude to me, remember that!" Kendra's mother was still the same so controlling, impatient, unreasonable and demanding. If her mother could not get what she asked for, she definitely threw a lot of bad, negative, rude and judgemental words. Kendra's ears were totally irritated. She didnt even expect that her simple act of kindness in the past by giving them a little of her salary would turn into an obligation. She was forced by her mother to pay for the rent of their house even if she was not living there anymore. She became a breadwinner. Kendra's parents and siblings were too dependent to her. She didnt want problems to think so she just ignored it. Kendra learned to be more patient and be always kind to them as she remembered the strong voice told her that she has

to be always kind and have a courage and it will save her from all the trials that life will bring to her." Dont get mad now, i will be sending the money tomorrow. I am only busy today." Kendra suddenly hanged up the phone and went inside of Travel Agency that she was applying for." There she is boss. I would like you to meet, Ms. Kendra. She is the one wanted to apply for the position." The tall men were standing in front of her, when Kendra looked at the 2 men in front of her, she was so surprised."Wait a sec, I think I know this woman. Where did I see you?" Kendra's heart was beating so fast as she got recognized the guy in the convenient store."Sir, I think the one you saw is maybe same face of me but its my firstime to see you. We do have same faces with other people. I am certainly not the one you saw in whatever place it is."The man still looking at Kendra's face seriously as he went to her closely so that he could remember the woman he met at the convenient store." That was you at the convenient store. I recognized your face that one who called me Arrogant Pig!" The man really stressed the word how Kendra called him. Kendra could not speak at all."Am I fired?but I havent applied it yet. Please, I needed a job right now. Can you just forget it?It is true you are arrogant pig."Eric and the other tall man were shocked at Kendra and both were laughing at them." Hahaha, You two looked like dog and cat. Ms. Kendra no need to worry and Gabrielle stop fighting with her. I am Justin Landrieu the boss and the owner of this Travel Agency. You may leave Gabrielle for a while. I will be talking to Ms. Kendra for a few minutes inside my office." Both were stop talking."I thought you are the boss. You acted so authoritative and still an arrogant pig." Kendra was so annoyedly left Gabrielle where both stood up. Gabrielle was continously looking at Kendra with a smile.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
