'Birds chirping, I feel the light, coming through the windows . It's so quiet that all I keep hearing is the birds chirping sound . This is so peaceful . I wish I could stay like this forever . ' - Lia thought to herself - still fidgeting in her bed . Slowly, she opened her eyes to see the sunshine .
It was a beautiful morning with a clear sky . There were no clouds which made the sunshine spread wide across the sky, giving it a beautiful orangish color . Lia smiled looking at the scenario . She stretched out her arms and turned around to see the time .
Time - 7:30 AM, Wednesday
"The time is 7 . . . : 30 . . . AM . . . Wed . . . nes . . . da . . . y . " Lia read the clock display at a slow pace .
Next thing, the quiet peaceful morning turned into a nightmare . Lia screamed out loud . She ran out of her room and found no presence of her mother, Giselle .
'Mom, where are you? Is this a dream?' Lia feared .
Quickly, she went to the living room, kitchen, bathroom and finally to Giselle's room . Steadily, she took step by step, opening the door and searched for her mother .
Lia's face turned pale . She saw her mother on her bed, still asleep . Lia went from pale to furious within a second . She walked towards the bed and stood near her mother .
Giselle who's sleeping peacefully heard a loud noise from her sides . The screaming sound increased by seconds and haunted Giselle in her dreams . With a quick and sudden movement, Giselle sprang out of her bed . Her breathing was unsteady . It looked as if she got choked while dreaming . Giselle had to calm herself down before becoming aware of her surrounding .
A few seconds later . . .
Giselle turned to look at her nightstand . She noticed Lia standing there, glaring at her mother . For a second, Giselle thought it's was a child ghost . When Lia moved further towards her mother, Giselle got startled . She moved away, literally taking Lia for a ghost .
"Mom," Lia shouted .
"Mom? Me?" Giselle looked at the kid .
It was Lia . Giselle exhaled . "What'up baby?" Giselle smiled leisurely .
"Mom, do you know what time it is?" Lia grunted .
"What? It's . . . " Giselle looked tried to look out . Her room never received the morning vibes entirely . All she could notice is that 'there's light outside' . Giselle came to the conclusion that it was early morning . She patted Lia on her head and replied, "It's morning, Lia . "
"Mom," Lia shouted again . This time she didn't give her mother a chance to reply .
"It's Wednesday morning . The time is 7 . . . : 40 AM now . " Lia's eyes widened as she talked .
Giselle's mind took a second before realizing that Wednesday is when Lia starts her school . Slowly, the mother's reaction went from low to extremely high level of anxiety .
"WHAT" Giselle shouted this time . She crawled out of bed and took her mobile phone to check if Lia's saying the truth .
It was real . They slept off and woke up late . Giselle's mind filled with horror and fear . She had to calm herself before rushing things . She looked at the time once again and devised the plan:
The time now - 7:42 AM
Classes start at 9:00 AM
Must be there at School by - 8:30 AM
Remaining time - 48 minutes .
"Lia, go brush up first . I'll make breakfast for you . Did you have your dress ready?" Giselle asked .
"Yeah, I prepared it last night . It's ready . "
"Alright, go brush up first and then take a shower," Giselle walked out of her room . Lia followed her . With a concrete-like plan, the mother and daughter combo moved their butts faster on Wednesday morning .
