Nightmare
“Noo... Noo... Noo...” Mia screamed.
Mia was shaken by another nightmare. It was always the same scene. It felt like it was happened yesterday even though it was years ago. Mia sat up on her bed and tried to calm herself.
“You can’t cry Mia, crying is only for the weak and you’re not weak anymore. Endure everything Mia until you make it.” Mia took a deep breath convincing herself. She got up from her bed and went to her bathroom to freshen up and start her day since she couldn’t back to sleep anymore.
It was only 5 in the morning and she was already on her way to the company. Mia was a wedding fashion designer but now she changed her course of career. She's currently working on one of their subsidiary companies.
Mia’s mother didn’t agree at first, but Mia’s father convinced her that maybe it was a good distraction for their daughter. Mia’s mother reluctantly agreed but she was still worried about her daughter’s well-being.
Mia arrived at their company where there was no employee around except their security guard. It is still dawn outside and their guard isn’t even surprised when he sees her. At first month, he was surprised at how early Mia went to the company but now his used to it.
“Good morning, Ma’am.” The guard greeted Mia and opened the door for her.
“Good morning Mr. Ben,” Mia said and smiled at him. She went to her private elevator and entered some code, and it went up to her floor.
Mia walked to her window and looked outside, staring at the beautiful city view. She watched the sun rising in slow motion while spreading its beautiful light to the sky. It has been her favourite scene so far in her office which helped her emotions to calm down.
Mia thought that she was like this Sun, no matter what happened and how many times she stomped she would rise repeatedly and be stronger than before.
After some time, she settled to her table and started her work. She was focused on reviewing her documents.
Time flies by and outside of her office, the employee started to arrive one by one and start their routine for the day.
Knock…knock…
“Come in.” Rose her assistant and friend came to her view.
“Good morning. Do you want your usual coffee? Rose asked professionally. When they are in the company, they treated each other professionally but outside they are just like a normal friend.
“Yes please, and those documents are ready,” Mia said, and Rose picked it up to distribute to their designated department.
“Okay, how about breakfast? I guess you didn’t take one again.” Rose asked again laced with some concern in her tone. Mia was always early and alone in her office and she couldn't do anything about it.
“It is okay, just coffee, please.” Mia said and smiled at Rose and the latter walked out of the room.
In no time Rose comes back with Mia’s coffee and a sandwich on the side. She got her favourite sandwich since she knew Mia didn’t eat her breakfast again. It becomes Rose's habit since she knows Mia's routine.
Rose put down the sandwich and coffee on the side of her table and left quietly. She knows Mia doesn’t want to be disturbed once she is in her work mode.
Mia’s day passed by with meeting after meeting, and it was already evening. She was all alone once again in the company. Everyone left on time since it was Friday, and everyone was excited for their weekend to start.
Mia prepared to leave the company and decided to blow off some steam. She drove to her usual place at the Paradise. She didn’t even bother to change her office clothes. She confidently entered the club with her office suit without a care, even though people are staring at her weirdly.
Mia was on her way to the counter bar when suddenly she bumped into an unknown man, the man was ready to lash out at her, but the man was taken aback when he looked up and saw Mia’s beautiful face.
“Oh, I’m sorry.” Mia apologized immediately and the man just continued to stare at her. Mia known this look but when she looked into his eyes it was different from the others. But she didn’t entertain this idea and let it go. It feels like he was hypnotizing her and she was drowning bit by bit that she finds it too overwhelming; she immediately avoided his stare and continued her way to the counter.
Mia settled to the counter bar and ordered her usual drinks. She was planning to be drunk today so she could fall asleep immediately when she got back to her place. She drinks shot after shot. When she felt the kick of the alcohol in her body, she walked into the dance floor and danced in her little world. She danced to the rhythm of the music. Her body swayed easily and followed the music, she wasn’t even aware of how tempting she looked. She made every man present go wild and crazy for every move she made and made every woman jealous of her.
One song ended and another started, but Mia continued to dance without a care to her surroundings. After a while, Mia got thirsty and a little tired so she decided to return to her seat at the counter bar and was ready to order again but was interrupted by some stranger.
“Would you care to join us at our table? The stranger man asked her with a lingering lust in his eyes. This always happened to her when she was alone but she never cares about them. A fly was always ready to land on every single beautiful flower around and she felt annoyed by that every single time.
Mia was ready to ignore the stranger when suddenly she heard a voice behind her back.
Whose might this voice belong with?
