The Caretaker of the Woods

After having a bit of breakdown in the airport, I finally calmed myself and dragged my feet to go home.


I took a cab and my short journey was silent. I didn't had the mood to talk with the driver as usual and just sat at the back staring blankly at the view outside. 


Along the way, I saw an airplane flying on the sky. I wonder if dad is on it. "Impossible, he already flew much earlier" my conscience reminded me. As I plopped myself on the back seat, I decided to close my eyes and gave myself a nap-to take a break from my reality.


"Sir, we are here" a voice I heard. I slowly opened up my eyes and it revealed the cab driver waking me up. Flustered, I sat up immediately and uttered a sorry and thank you. Luckily, the guy have a heart of gold and just smiled at me. It looked like he noticed that I didn't have a great day because he shortly showed me a sympathetic smile. 


Anyway, I bowed at him, got off from the cab and walked towards our house. After opening the door and locking it after getting in, I went upstairs straight ahead in my room and plopped myself on my bed. Making my body finally relax after going through a lot of stress from earlier and because I finally get to rest, my eyelids became heavy and not long short, I drifted into slumber.


I got woke up from my sleep because of my hungry stomach. Ugh. I groaned at myself and rolled on my stomach and tried to sleep again. To my dismay, my stomach growled louder which gave me no choice but to head downstairs to eat dinner. 


Because I'm alone, I just decided to cook myself an instant ramen. Didn't have much mood to cook and I'm too hungry to prepare the ingredients anyway so yeah. After waiting for the noodles to cook, I sat down and started to feed myself. 


Half an hour or so, I finally got full and rubbed my belly. I grabbed my phone and it showed me that it's already 9:00 PM. I took a deep sigh and messaged my grandma asking what day will she come to get me so that I could prepare my things.


After sending it, I placed it back on the table and drank a glass of water then brushed my teeth and wiped my face. Then, I checked the windows if they're locked including the door before turning off the lights and I went back to my room.


Tossing and turning, I still couldn't bring myself to sleep. It looks like my body has rested well earlier and now my eyes are so full of power that I can't sleep again. I groaned in frustration and rolled on my stomach. I grabbed my phone and played Genshin Impact to let the time pass. Hoping that sleep will come over soon.


Busying myself on completing my quests, a notification bell pop on my screen. I looked at it and it showed that it's grandma saying that she will come here tomorrow morning. Oopsies, I gotta start packing up. 


And so, I quitted the game and went to get my luggage and grabbed some clothes and underwear from my drawer including my other necessities as well and placing them to my luggage in an organized manner so they would fit. And also, so that I will not receive a scolding from grandma when she sees my mess. Ha! her and her clean-freakiness.  


Satisfied, I finally closed it and placed it beside my drawer and went back to my bed. I looked at my clock and it showed me that it's already 1:00 AM. Damn, I didn't thought that packing would take this long. 


Moreover, I plopped myself on my bed and rubbed my face on my pillow-a habit I got since then before actually sleeping. Then, I grabbed my blanket to cover myself and turned off the lights then shortly after, sleep finally came over and brought me to dreamland.
