The alarm strikes as usual at 5.30 a.m. but I felt lazy to get off the bed as it was Sunday. So I thought to turn off the alarm and pressed tightly my head to my soft cotton pillow and I started to sleep more. My parents warned me yesterday that they will visit my sister's house and they will come tomorrow. I have completely forgotten it and I just kept on sleeping. 

 With half- eyes opened I just started to gaze at the birds who were busy pecking some worms, I just started to sit on the bed and started to scroll down and up on my mobile phone, there was a number of Gossips on Facebook so I just read them as I didn't have anything to engage with. I felt I must make my morning bed tea and I just to sip it...oh!!! Shoot..!! What I have added instead of sugar, it's salt...how careless am I ?? I was too lazy to make another one so I just spilled it and went to my bed by dragging my legs like a small kid who is forced to go to school by their parents. 

 " Mama, I'm hungry. Mama...where are you ??? Mama...Where are you ??? I'm hungry..."

  I started to shout at the top of my voice as a small kid, oh no....!!! They went to see my sister ...Alas !! I have to prepare my breakfast. The clock struck to 9 a.m. I was just wasting my time with the stupid mobile phone with Gossips.


 I felt like crying but I hold it as I'm not a kid anymore, I checked the refrigerator for some vegetables...Oh...No!! It's empty, I must go shopping too... I just went to the washroom and washed and get dressed and I ran in the streets. I could hear my tummy is shouting, I felt embarrassed since the cashier smiled and gave me the goods. 

  I just brought some tomatoes, green chilies, and onions to prepare a tomato salad.. one of my favorites...Oh...God!! Spared my life, I came home...my whole body was sweated and I was like a dead body.

 Alas!! Where is bread ??? Oh...God... I have forgotten to buy bread. How can I have tomato salad without bread? Again I started to run down the streets by praying to God not to make me meet the same faces that I met before they would assume I was a Mad girl who is running on streets with messy hair.

 Oh!! I just got the sight of a bakery. Thank God !! for sparing my life. I quickly took bread and I ran and ran towards my home like a thief who stole bread from a bakery. 

 Finally!!! I was at home... I just got relaxed and I prepared a tomato salad humming and whistling to myself. Mmmm...what's this sugary taste....in tomato salad...I was just thinking to myself...Alas !!! I have added sugar instead of pepper. My mind was like a train that is running out of track. I can't starve anymore, the clock struck to 12 ....Alas... it's time for lunch...but I'm still on breakfast.  

 It was a breakfast that I never forget in my life...
