The Unforgettable Saturday
at Homestay
My homestay was the annoying place. Everyone
did their own businesses which made it crowded all the time. They speak loudly
each others, listen to the highest degree volume of music, and have an impersonal
chat when they were standing in line in front of the bathroom. All of my
friends usually go home on weekend. Unfortunately, my roommate also went home
this weekend. Somehow, I decided to stay at homestay because my home is too
far. Having a little surprise at the end, I have to pass my day although I was
alone.
I woke up late on Saturday morning. I
glanced at my alarm clock on the table. Then, I closed my eyes to sleep again. A
little while later, I was shocked that it had already 7 a.m. “Damn it! Why does
no one wake me up?” I screamed. “God, I
am alone here”. I realized it while scratching my head spontaneously. I felt
hungry; I looked for something rashly in my food box. In fact, I found nothing
to eat. I began either despondent or desperate. At noon, I was definitely
starving. No one existed whom I could beg for some foods. So, I decided to buy
some foods in the nearest shop. I rode my bike quickly, but I only got two small
pieces of bread there.
When night came, my homestay was
really quiet. It seemed that I was in a horrible grave. Therefore, I watched
some funny videos on my laptop to kill my fear. Suddenly, the lamp turned off. I
could not see anything except the little light from my laptop screen. After
that, I heard someone knocking the door of my room. The sounds of knocking became
harder and harder. I opened the door fearfully and found the person right in
front of me. She is the owner of my homestay standing with her daughter. She
gave me a red square box. The tempting fragrance came from it. In hurry, I
opened the box and saw a crunchy fried chicken with mayonnaise, a bowl of warm
cooked rice and some fresh veggies. It was a box of KFC as a gift of her
daughter’s birthday. “Thanks God!” I smiled happily. Fortunately, when she knew
that I was alone, she gave the other small oval box of cake to me.
A little surprise at the end made me
feel glad. Staying at homestay alone gave me chance to be more autonomous. I should
decide everything by myself. Although I was alone, I tried to enjoy my life as
good as possible. That was the memorable Saturday for me. ^_^
