Everyday with You: 01
Around 8 AM.
Oliver's apartment.
Oliver
After years of trying, I manage to get a job for myself.
Oliver
I got accepted as a faculty member of a college.
It was his long-awaited first day at the job.
Oliver
Hello. I'm Oliver, new recruit. It's nice to meet you.
Boss
We're quite behind. So, I hope you will get adjusted so soon.
Boss
Jake, guide him to his seat.
Jake
Please come this way.
With an excited heart, I greeted everyone and went to my seat.
There was a huge pile of document to finish on his desk.
Oliver
[Is this really happening?]
It turns out that my predecessor quit his job after being absent without notice.
So that position was behind its work. He quit out of the blue?
Oliver
[I had to start with nothing and learned the work the hard way.]
Oliver
[I had to work overtime every day.]
Oliver
[Even though I worked late, my boss only scolded me.]
Boss
Hey! How come your draft is still a mess? When will you earn your keep?
Boss
You always make excuses, saying you're still getting adjusted.
Oliver
I apologize. I'll work harder.
Boss
Don't just work hard.
Boss
Do a good job instead.
Boss
A pro only speaks with results.
Every word he said hit me hard like a dagger to the heart.
So I felt really small and depressed.
So I went out for a drive to 'get somme air after work.
Oliver
[I played the music really loud and drove wherever the road led me.]
Oliver
[That helps me to relieve the stress.]
Oliver
[After sometime, I drove onto a deserted road.]
Oliver
[From Far, something caught my eyes.]
Oliver
I don't know there is a place like this.
Oliver
Something in the wood was sparkling.
For some reason, he thought he should go and check it out. And soon.
Oliver
[I felt cold air from the tips of my feet and that made me come to senses.]
Oliver
My feet.... Were in the water and the water reached up to my ankle.
Oliver
[I lifted my head, all frustrated.]
A reservoir unfolded before his eyes and his car was parked randomly parked behind him.
Strangely, he didn’t got out the water instead just staring at the reservoir without returning to house.
After that strange night, he eventually ended by coming to the reservoir daily... Even without eating, without sleeping, missing important meetings....
Oliver
So, I spend my time with the reservoir everyday.
