The sunlight hits my eyelid.
The alarm clock rings and it's reaching my hearing. My eyes automatically open and stare at the white ceiling.
It's just a plain white ceiling. Do I need to paint it and turn it into a beautiful and fascinating ceiling?
I yawned and scratched my head. I don't want to stand, yet I should go to school.
After stretching and yawning, I decided to go down to proceed in the preparation of my food.
No one will make it for me, so I should do it while it's still early in the morning.
However, I don't want to do anything today. After a few minutes, I decided to go down and go to work after my morning routines.
I went to the kitchen, open the stove and put some oil on the pan. I will fry some ham, bacon, and mixed beans with rice.
It's delicious and easy to make. Just buy a pack of mixed vegetables, take note, it's already cut into pieces.
When the pan was already hot, I open the pack of ham and put it down one by one. Furthermore, I decided to wait while sitting.
My head turned to the water dispenser. I want some juice for this morning!
Additionally, it will be a great combination! I plug the water dispenser and wait for it to be cold.
Don't forget to flip the ham, so it will not be going to be burn. I just fried five ham, and the next is Bacon.
It's a little bit hard to fry because the oil is going anywhere when they touch together.
Next, rice, I mixed the rice with the mixed vegetables, and put some little bit of seasoning.
Stir it and mix it well, it needs to be mixed properly, so when it is in the frying pan, the vegetables will be automatically cooked.
When I'm done frying the Bacon, I put the rice and let it sit on the pan. Mix it well, so the rice will not stick to the surface of the pan.
After a few moments, then it's done! The water was cold. I looked for some juice powder on my grocer shelf, luckily, I found a sachet of orange juice.
I need to buy some goods for this house. I'm out of stock.
Furthermore, I prepare the food and started to eat. The orange juice is pretty much good, together with the ham, bacon, and mixed vegetables on rice.
While I'm eating my breakfast, my phone suddenly rings.
“Hello? Is this Miss Astrid?” the manly voice asked from the other line. I remained silent and waited for him to continue his words.
“If yes, please answer me, our company received your application for being a tutor for preschool children,” the man stated.
My heart starts to pump and it feels like it's going to throw up.
“Hello? Yes, this is Astrid, I'm sorry for not responding immediately,” I said while preventing myself from shaking.
I need to remain calm. Last week, I applied for being a tutor for preschool students online.
I found it while scrolling on my phone and searching for part-time jobs.
Additionally, it's for gaining experience, besides, I want to have an extra income.
Although, the coffee shop pays exactly and fairly.
“Congratulations! You are qualified to be a preschool tutor! In fact, there's someone who requested that they want you to be their private tutor!” the man from the other line seems cheerful and proud.
My mouth automatically draws a wide smile on my face.
“Thank you so much! When I should start teaching the student?” I asked while smiling.
I know they can't see it, but I'm grateful for having this kind of opportunity.
To be honest, I'm not good at talking to children. My temper is short, so I guess, it is a different challenge for me.
“I will send you the basic information of your client, her Guardian agrees to send the basic information between us.”
I stand up and looked for a notebook and pen. Maybe, I just need to write it and note it on my phone later.
“The name of the child is Yunah Avanzado, she's around 4 to 6 years old, she loves to read, write and listen to poetry.”
I'm writing all the information from him. It will help me to identify the personality or traits of the kid.
“She doesn't want if someone is waking her up, she will be annoyed to that person in her whole life.”
My eyebrow arched. “Uhm, excuse me, Sir? Is that for real?” I asked while waiting for his response.
The line became silent for a while. I forced myself not to laugh.
It's because who will be happy if someone disturbs you while you are sleeping. Imagine, if you are in the midst of a beautiful dream, then all of a sudden, you will hear an annoying voice waking you up in the morning.
“She had two brothers, but the names are not written in here, I will email you the location, please wait.”
After he said those words, I click the email and refresh it multiple times just to make sure that I'm going to receive it.
And there is it! I smiled a bit and tell it to him. “Received. Thank you very much! I will send you an email when I'm going to their house!”
I heard his cheerful voice. “Alright! That's nice! Good luck to your first student!”
The call ended. I finished my breakfast and stood up. I need to prepare all the things that I need in teaching.
The crayons, pencils, a ballpen, and paper. I bought the crayons yesterday at the school supplies.
I did my morning routine and dry my hair before deciding to wear my outfit for today.
When everything was set. I walked out and locked the door. Fixed the gate and walk away.
I glanced at my wristwatch, it was already 9:10 in the morning. I shouldn't be late this day.
My mind started to wonder and ask myself what will be going to happen today? Will the student be happy with my service?
Maybe, the student is a boy, but it's also possible that the student is a girl.
While I'm standing at the side of the traffic light, someone sent me a message. I need to walk on the pedestrian lane and wait for the go signal for pedestrians.
“I'm going somewhere, please be careful when you're going anywhere.”
My eyebrow arched a bit while reading his message. “Who cares? By the way, take care and watched the road,” I replied to his message.
The sign went green, it indicates that the people are allowed to pass the street. I'm walking together with the busy people.
Some of them are carrying bags of groceries, while some of them are holding a bunch of objects.
I'm walking carefully, and do my best just to avoid them, so it will be less hustle for them. I successfully passed the streets.
My phone vibrates again, “You care, can I ask you something? I will determine this as a request, please?”
I shrugged my shoulder while staring at my phone just to reply. “Sure, what is it?” He has seen my message.
I'm waiting for his response while searching for a car.
“Can you go to my house? Yunah was alone and her tutor is going to our house, I think, she needs assistance for preparing for a portion of food and a companion.”
A taxi arrived in front of me. I went inside the car and asked the driver if he was willing to go to the address that I'm telling him.
“Yes, Miss, the place is one of my destinations, I will bring you there if you want?” the driver's voice was echoing.
It's soft and calm. I looked at the rearview mirror, he looks fine and kind.
I show him the map and the exact address of my student.
My phone vibrates once again. “I will send you the address if you agree to my request.”
“Oh, how I'm supposed to do it? I have worked this time, and I don't think I can go to your house just to accompany and help your little sister,” I replied to him.
The car started to move immediately.
“Are you busy? Should I fetch you? Should I look for someone to assist my little sister?” he asked in messages.
“I want to help your sister, but this time, I have work, I'm currently traveling to go to my student, it's my first time teaching, however, I'm excited because it's preschoolers.”
He saw my messages after a few minutes.
“Is that so? Congratulations! If that's the case, maybe I should go home and prepare the things for my sister, sorry for disturbing you, take care!”
