Golden Bell

Ariet!!!, come down for breakfast!", Mrs Pearl, Ariet's mother called from downstairs.

Ariet stirred in her sleep, still tired from her late night preparation for her job interview today. She murmured some incorhent and inaudible words for a few seconds before her eyes fluttered open. She closed her eyes back almost immediately as she tried to adapt to the bright environment. She rolled slightly on the bed as her eyes observed her surroundings before finally resting on her wonderfully white ceiling that is intricately designed to her taste.

As though she quickly recalled something, she took a quick glance at her purple alarm clock on her bed side drawer. It read 8:04 AM. She lay still on the bed, her mind still in a haze.

"I set my alarm clock to 6:30AM, I woke up pretty late today. That's rare!", she said more like a question to herself.

"Arie, come down for breakfast! Are you still asleep?", Mrs Pearl called from downstairs once again because Ariet didn't answer her the previous time. "It's getting cold, I won't allow you to microwave it if it gets cold", she added sternly and loud enough for Ariet to hear from upstairs where her room is located.

"She is such a pain in the ass", Ariet mused to herself. "I don't kn...", she paused on what she was about to spurt out abruptly. Her pupils dilated as she immediately remembered that she has job interview to attend at 9:30 AM. As though struck by lightning, she immediately climbed down from her fluffy and comfortable bed, yanking the purple blanket off her body.

"8:24", she screamed in her head as she took a quick glance at the alarm clock once again. "What the f*ck is wrong with me? Today of all days? I'm so done for!", she scolded herself inwardly as she made her way to the neat bathroom.

Wonderful haircare and body care products lined extensively on one side of the bathroom. On a normal day, when she has a lot of time, she would have preferred using the bathtub to the shower but today was definitely not a normal day for her. It was like her mind was playing tricks on her. "Why today of all days?"

She grabbed her sponge and soap, rubbed them against each other and poured water on them almost immediately with precision and ultimate accuracy. She wasted no time in scrubbing her body parts giving special attention to some of them than the others. Having completed scrubbing her body, she dropped the sponge and soap in the soap case and let the water cascade down her wonderfully smooth and curvaceous body. She quickly turned off the shower and stepped away from the faucet. Her body glistened with water as she partially ran to the towel hanger located on one side of the bathroom.
