My dignity

Sunday...

It's half past nine in the morning...

The place was crowded, and the voices overlapped to throw insults at me from the angry owners. I was trying to pass with difficulty; crowds of people were jostling violently. One kicked me, another pushed me, another pushed my back, and another slapped my cheek unintentionally! I even pushed the others against my will, and we fell to the ground over and over again!

If I do not go out with the paper with me, I will die under their feet without them noticing, and if I come out with the paper intact in my hand while I am alive, I will be grateful!

Excuse me, go away a bit, will you? Hey you, be careful! Sir, you are stepping on my feet… please put your hand away! Get your hands off my bag.

The place is very crowded; it looks as if we are in a shopping center, and there is a discount offer on prices, and it is not a place to present training results papers for students who were captured by fear and anxiety of discovering the result only.

I appreciate the enthusiasm of the students, but they should not act so chaotic and barbaric!

I've been in a bad mood for a whole week because of that scum, and I have no energy to allow me to tolerate any provocative behavior by anyone.

These employees…they should have been more organized and tidy, instead of all the last year students being present at the time!

If we were in the first year, the situation would not have been like this, but... because we have been studying nursing for all these years, here we are waiting for the results papers after this cruel, mean, and pleasure-destroying field caused us to isolate ourselves from life and destroy our mental health and rage like monsters! It was my turn at last, and I received the paper, and I hurried out of this crowd, holding my hand up high, holding the paper so that no harm would happen to it, as if I were raising a golden cup.

I straightened and took a deep inhale and arranged my hair and appearance, which had been spoiled by the crowd, then smiled as I looked at the paper with apprehension.

One of the girls screamed with sadness and resentment, which caught my attention, and her friend calmed her down, saying, "It's okay, dear; there is always another chance."

But she denied with sadness and concern: You don't understand anything! All members of my family are elite doctors, and it would be a shame for them if they found out!

Another young man kicked the trash can hard, shouting hatefully, "Damn the effort that was wasted."

His friend: There is something wrong. Perhaps that professor who you quarreled with had hatred and overthrew you, taking advantage of the opportunity to teach you a lesson in assessment. But look at you; if you were taken to work in the hospital, lives would be lost and the sky would be crowded with them. You even broke a record among most of the students who lose consciousness whenever they see an emergency!

His comment ended with provoking the other side very hard: "Another word, and I will send your soul to heaven already and curse you for life."

I sighed sadly for their situation and then quickly ignored them and wondered whatmy evaluation of the previous training would be. If I do well, I will be accepted into the job I previously applied for, and then I will have secured my job immediately before I even graduate! I only have the final exams.

I was tired of training as a nurse in the institute, and I can't imagine my failure after all this! Frankly, I will not be satisfied with a poor evaluation after two months of trouble.

I did my best and gave my time and life just to get the franchise mark! I didn't even have time to scratch my scalp...

My father and mother were always bothered by my isolation in my room and my sitting in front of papers and the computer all the time! Then Sam comes to tease me and tries to provoke me and ruin my studies, as well as Ethan, who makes me want to tear books and papers and throw them in his face hard.

I stood at the bus stop and sat on the bench with complete integration to put the rebellious locks of my hair behind my ears as I read carefully and slowly as if I was delaying time, and quickly cried with joy and enthusiasm to attract the surprised and confused eyes around me, then I corrected the matter and let out a strong sigh of relief that came out from my depths. When I learned that my performance evaluation was excellent!…

Well, this means that my vacation will start with a piece of mind.

And after it ends, I will do my best to study for the exams well.

I will rest for about two months, and then I will take a few theoretical and practical exams and end the torment of studying forever.

I whispered with satisfaction and enthusiasm, "The apartment remained only..."

I agreed weeks ago with the owner of the apartment that I would rent it from him, and he accepted a reasonable amount of money, and thank God I found the apartment at this time. Good, I have an apartment and work soon, so I will not need my parents or Sam and Ethan in this period, especially since my parents want to be alone a bit away from the noise and work.

They have the right to take a rest, and it seems that they will extend the rest period by spending the vacation on one of the islands.

At least, they will not be spoiled by any of the work atmosphere or the concerns and worries around them. The wonderful thing is that before they left a few days ago, they gave me a party for my twenty-first birthday. It was a modest party, but its simplicity made me happy as well. It is enough that the smile did not leave us all on that day.

For me, happiness does not need a flashy path to enter my heart; sometimes the simplest things make us happy instead of our eyes being occupied with beautiful things that are beyond the limits of our reach.

In any case...

I was very tired today, as I woke up early to reach this city. It is about an hour away from my city, but because of the crowding today, I was late for more than half an hour, and I want to rest a little.

I searched the information network for apartments for rent and found an apartment a few days ago, and here I am. Today I am going to see her. If you are wondering why I moved from my city to here, it is simply to work in the largest and most prestigious hospital in this city. This is what I aspire to.

My thoughts were cut short; the bus arrived and stopped directly in front of me, so I straightened up and headed for it.

A reasonable period of waiting and stopping at two stops beforehand… Then finally!

I got off the bus and stared at the place, meditating and looking for something in my eyes. I went to get the keys to the apartment that overlooked the beach, and here he was standing in front of a small store waiting for my arrival. I smiled at him and said in a gentle and calm tone, "Good morning, Mr. Edward."

He is a relatively old man and appears to be in his late fifties, with a thick brown scarf around his neck to keep him warm, and his dark eyes staring at me as he turns and smiles and shakes hands warmly and gently: "Ah!" Miss Charlotte, good morning!

We talked a little about the apartment, and he seemed to be talking quickly, making short words as if he were busy!

My expectation was correct, as he said that he must return to his house quickly and he cannot be late any longer, so I took from him the key and the exact address of the apartment.

The problem is that I haven't seen her yet... It's foolishness and recklessness on my part, right? It's crazy… I just

I saw some pictures of her through the website where I found her, and I didn't bother to check more.

It doesn't matter what matters is that I just found an apartment!

I got into a taxi and gave him the paper on which the address was written. He said it was a nearby address, and when he got me, I paid him the fare and took my small bag, in which I put simple clothes and some necessities temporarily for a few days only until things settle down, and then move the clothes and other things.

I walked two steps and then stopped admiring the place. It was beautiful and comforting. The apartment overlooks the beach and is surrounded by wonderful, simple, fashionable restaurants and stores. The place is not crowded but very quiet and beautiful, with everything from services to facilities to markets. Frankly, this made me wonder at this moment about the price of renting the apartment compared to its impressive location!

I moved my feet towards it; it is not an apartment within a building but a separate apartment a few steps up, and next to it are many apartments similar in design. Here I am stepping a few steps until I noticed a shadow behind me. I ignored it; there was nothing suspicious, but when I extended my hand to open the door, I extended another hand and turned curiously. Surprised, but my eyes soon changed to annoyance and sharpness, saying in great distress, "You?!"
