A JOURNEY TO WORK
He usually got up at the crack of dawn.
That day, as usual, he got up early. He did not get out of his bed immediately but remained a moment in the warmth of his bed, trying to shake off the cobwebs of sleep. It wasn't easy for him to leave the comfortable bed after a deep sleep.
After a cold shower, he was totally wakened up. He made himself a cup of coffee, and sat at the kitchen breakfast bar, glancing through the newspaper as usual.
At 7 o'clock, he left home to the station. It was a windy and cold morning. He was walking with a wind coat on top and his usual working formal suit underneath the coat. the street was not very crowded at that time. Whenever he saw any familiar faces along the street, he gave his nod with a friendly smile. He really enjoyed himself along the ten minutes walk to the station especially in this fresh cold morning. The fresh air made him felt good. Looking at the friendly people on the street and looking up into the deep blue sky, he wondered,"what a wonderful morning."
He worked in London. He took a tube to London everyday. In the train, he saw some of the familiar faces who had been taking the same train with him for the past few years. He was trying to look for her trace in the crowd. The train was congested that it was difficult for him to find what he wanted to find. Finally, in a distance, he found her standing in the corner at the entrance of the train. She was in white long sleeved blouse with her thick blonde curly hair dropping unstylishly on her shoulder. That was all he could see. He was happy and kept on starring at her waiting for her to turn towards his direction and smile at him. She smiled at him once. It was the week before and that was really an unforgettable memories.
Next station, the train stopped. People were rushing in and out of the train. It was a chaos suddenly. After a few minutes later, the train departed again. He was trying to trace for her again but then she disappeared without a trace. He felt disappointed and yet with a grin, he wondered," I might be seeing her again tomorrow. There is always a TOMORROW."
After the train, he took a bus to his office building. In the bus, everyone was a stranger to him. No familiar & friendly faces but stressful and miserable faces. Doing nothing, he stared at the passing scene outside the window.
After fifteen minutes of journey, he reached his destination. He went up to tenth floor. When the lift door opened, he saw one of his colleagues stepping out from the other lift beside. He tried to call her but she was walking too fast rushing into the office.
He went into the office, everybody was busy starring at their screen without noticing his appearance. "What a stressful atmosphere!" He wondered. Quietly, he sat at his desk and started his work........
