Freya is lying on a thin, uncomfortable looking mattress on the ground. The sound of birds chirping gave her a reason to wake up as she wasn't having a sound sleep anyways, because of her job interview today. Slowly opened her almond shaped eyes and hindered with the fear of being late for interview she moved her hand around the pillow to find her phone, as she got her hand on the phone she pressed the power button to check the time. Oh! Thank God... Hhhhaaa... it's 6:47 am. I am earlier than my alarm she smirked and whispered to herself. Feeling relieved she tried to sit comfortably tilting her neck backward on the bed behind her. She closed her eyes and started thinking about today's interview, will I be able to get this job or fail like last four times, I really need to get this job.... It's so generous of Leena to let me stay in her room for around two months, she was deep in her thoughts that at once Leena mumbled while sleeping and kicked Freya's head.
Wooohhhh.... Freya put her hands on her head, turned towards Leena with bitter expression but as her sight landed Leena's face her pain was overcome by her innocence she couldn't help smiling... Freya whispered to herself at least someone in this room is enjoying a sound sleep. Freya slowly pushed Leena's leg under the blanket at once the alarm rang Freya turned around grabbed her phone and quickly turned off the alarm then looked at Leena. Freya didn't want to disturb her sleep, but Leena was not worried any less she mumbled wake up Freya today's your interview her words were unclear but Freya understood. I am already awake sweetie! You are? Leena removed her sleeping mask from one eye to be sure that Freya is really awake and not gonna be late for interview. Leena covered her eyes again and kept on mumbling You don't have to be worried I doove a frrrriend who's said.... Freya was looking at Leena with clueless expression as she couldn't understand what was she saying. Hey! Hey! stop mumbling, I can't understand even a single word. Leena sat on the bed removed her eye mask pushed away the blanket and went to the restroom. Freya saw her going then sat in a comfortable meditating position imagining blue light falling on her from the sky while inhaling the positivity and exhaling all the worries and negativity out through her nose. Freya's every morning started with meditation.
After a few minutes Leena came out of restroom and started talking to Freya ignoring that she is in deep meditation.
Today is your day girl.... I say today is your day... Freya doesn't move nor opens her eyes but softly replies to Leena, you say it every time I am about to go for an interview. I don't say I'm hopeless but I'm not excited either.
Oh! C'mon this time it's different Dae said they need staff who are fluent in English. the reason for failing in last job interviews was that you don't speak Korean language. Freya shook her head with frustration flew her hands in the air and dropped them down on her knees making a sharp sound... she finally opened her eyes now she was looking at Leena anxiously I am trying to learn Korean language you know it... Leena sat right in front of her putting her hands on her shoulders looking into her eyes... it's totally different scenario this time they need staff who are fluent in English language nothing to do with not knowing Korean but yes of course you must learn the native language to communicate and that you are gonna do it's been just two months to you in Korea and you can have basic chit chat, I'll teach you everyday you'll be fluent in it soon.
Leena's words comforted Freya, she moved her head down sighed softly... hhhhaaa.... again looked back at Leena I don't know what would I do without you! Amgs Freya uttered these words her eyes sparkled..... and tears rolled down her cheeks, spreading innocence on her beautiful face. I'll do everything to see you on your own because I know how much it hurts you being dependent. Leena wrapped her arms around Freya. Freya puts her head on Leena's shoulder they stayed like this for a moment now both move back look at each other with comforting smile. Freya stands up saying you get ready for work I'm making breakfast... Leena frowns at her no way you're going to the kitchen I'll make the breakfast you get ready Dae will be here with in half an hour. Freya asks surprisingly.... why is Dae coming so early? Leena replied, to pick you up! Freya repeated Leena's words being surprised, pick me up??? Oh! no please! I'll leave early and take public transport. Now you are wasting time arguing... wait! didn't I tell you Dae works at the same company you are going for interview... Leena explained. What! Really? Well that's a bit relieving.
I will make us a quick breakfast! Leena rushes to kitchen and Freya starts getting herself ready for the interview.
Freya had a captivating personality, her height was 5.4 inches, she had wide hip bones so she had to eat clean and work out every evening to keep herself slim, as she was totally obsessed with herself looking perfect. Her facial bones were structured in a way to make her look expressive with cheek bones, that are naturally contoured. Deep, almond shaped eyes, that could haunt anyone if she give a death stare when angry, that could attract all the attention if she talks to someone, or that could look through ones heart, or that could agonize you if fill with tears, or that could simply mesmerize you if they become flattering which never happened since a very long time.
Freya slipped into her black slacks, white button down shirt and navy blue blazer. Finalized her look with subtle no-make up look, brushed her natural, light brown, wavy hair, till shoulders, tiny white gold ear rings that she always wears, completed her look, and of course, how could she forget her favourite perfume Mystic... now she smells like rosses buried in an old book for years, smelling better than fresh ones.
Leena enters with a glass of banana milk shake and one large sized oats cookie, place it on a small table, without wasting any time Freya starts helping herself with the cookie, meanwhile Leena's phone rings... Its Dae! I think he has come, says Leena looking out side the window, waving at Dae.
Freya gulps down the milk shake, puts down the glass, now runs towards the dresser to take a tissue paper, wipes her mouth giving herself a final look, quickly grabs her bag and phone. Opens the door slipping into her shiny black peep toes. Leena opens the door for Freya... says, Good luck girl! Freya thanks Leena leaving the apartment nearly running down the stairs...
