College Village 2

Monday
Work Day.
4:00 am

Jenny gets herself ready for work to find that it's freezing cold outside, she goes out to find that people are already quing for the bus, she waited to find some guy in a M4 convertible passing by slowly, she looked closely to find it was Pule, their eyes connected for a while till the person behind Jenny pushed her to rush in, Pule and Jenny lost contact and Pule passed by quick.

Work
Jenny gets to work to find that there isn't too much inspection going on so she spent the whole day on surface and not underground. She realised that having a car is good for her cause she travels alot, to school, home and work. She thought about this long and hard and decided to try her luck . She knocked off early and went to catch a bus home, while she waited and other people came to join her, other workers from her workplace and neighbouring plants, as she waited she over hears some ladies talking about a man who found her girlfriend of 3 years sleeping with another man who's of higher rank than him, from another mine, they added by saying that he kicked her out with the same bed she found her girlfriend flaunting her thing with the other man, the guy then continued his life by living on and avoiding dating. As few minutes passed a white convertible passed and the lady said,'that's the guy shame, I feel sorry for him if only he'd see the beauty in me I'd make him happy again', miners loved convertibles so she thought it was someone else of higher ranks car to find that it was Pule's car. Her jaw dropped on the floor and was hurt.

On her arrival, Jenny couldn't stop being amazed at who the women were talking about, the cute young Pule. She goes to take a shower and comes back, to find a bunch of roses on her doorstep with a note,

'A Thousand roses picked can only wilt through time but time is only defeated by remembrance'... P.

She knew where they were from but was still amazed by what Pule thinks Jenny has.
Time passed and it was Supper time, she picks one rose and goes to the cafeteria to dish up, Pule was a bit late when he saw Jenny already dishing up, as she turned he saw she was holding a rose and smiled passed her. Jenny arrived in her room and watched music videos while eating when suddenly the was a knock on her door, she opened and it was Pule holding his own container with food,

Pule: Can I join you, I wasn't feeling like being with the boys tonight.
Jenny : You really going to annoy me, I should think of relocating and finding my own place yaz.*making way for him*.
Pule: Thanks. You have drinks, today at the cafeteria they said they don't have drinks.
Jenny : I guess I do.
There was too much of silence until Jenny offered Pule some fruit juice, Pule was quietly watching music videos until Jenny said,
'So how does things here work? How does work work?'
Pule: *laughs* Is that how you start a conversation?
Jenny : No, I just wanna ask you a question without making you feel uncomfortable.
Pule: Well just ask, I'll never know until you get straight to the point.
Jenny : How long have you been staying here?
Pule: Is that the question?  Ok, it's been 2 years now.
Jenny : I'm not a gossiper and I know it's not my category to ask you this but, I overheard some ladies talking about what happened to you a few months ago about... The mattress thing and stuff.
Pule: laughs* why do you wanna know? Can we just watch the videos without getting on each others nerves, I avoided a similar question from the guys and you asking me something along that line too? Just give me a break!
Same time Jenny popped up wine and poured him a glass,  the atmosphere was tense cause everyone was quiet Jenny could see the disappointment in his eyes so she decided to watch a movie on her laptop and invited Pule to watch with him, still quiet, they both watched the movie before the movie was half way Jenny was already out, leaving Pule all giggling alone, he saw that Jenny put her roses everywhere in her room and the remaining on the windows bunk, the card with the message was in her Bible next to her bed, Pule thought it was a winner but he wanted to see the verse that she was reading. He got her Bible and opened it,
Psalms 5:11-12
He thought long and hard to realise that those who also pray for him are those he truly loves, he closed the Bible and shook Jenny to tell her that he is leaving and that she should lock the door on his way out. As he left Jenny put on her PJ's and slept . Few more days passed without seeing Pule nor hearing him, he wasn't coming to the cafeteria anymore.
