....Riprendo la metro ancora inebetita e mi dirigo, stavolta, verso Knigthsbridge....vicino ad Hyde Park...altro posto meraviglioso....
Paola, non mi ha detto dove lavora precisamente...è rimasta sul vago...ha risposto solo Sì e NO alle mie domande per capire dove collocare il suo ufficio, ma nulla di più, perciò rimango a bocca aperta quando arrivo all'indirizzo indicato e mi appare un palazzo favoloso di fronte, ebbene sì, ai grandi magazzini Harrods...la meta dello shopping turistico di tutto il mondo!!!!!....
La chiamo per paura di aver capito male...di aver sbagliato...ma no, è proprio lì...aspetto ancora qualche minuto, faccio un giro per le strade illuminate e piene di colori, negozi e gente, tantissima gente.
All'ora convenuta entro nel palazzo e la mia meravigliosa amica mi viene a prendere alla reception con un sorriso a 32 denti!!!
Mi dice che è dispiaciuta, ma un suo collega sta andando via e stanno facendo una piccola festicciola di addio, ma per me non ci sono problemi...non ci penso due volte a dirle che posso aspettare o posso anche andare via e tornare in un secondo momento...lei però insiste, dice che posso rimanere...mi conduce verso il bar...e li per li non afferro bene la cosa...penso al bar dell'azienda presso la quale lavoravo in Italia...NO COMMENT....qui naturalmente è tutto diverso....bar molto alla moda, luci soffuse, tantissima gente che chiacchiera e che è già in modalità "dopo-lavoro"...direi atmosfera fantastica, meravigliosa...festa di addio al collega....in gergo: AMAZING!!!!
Senza dire una parola, mi danno immediatamente una bottiglia di birra in mano e iniziano ad avvicinarsi alcune persone per conoscermi e per chiacchierare....la mia amica è fenomenale, non mi lascia mai sola, ma allo stesso tempo mi fa fare conversazione autonomamente...alla fine anche io rido e scherzo con tutti...alla mia terza birra...decidono di spostarsi in un altro posto...ma stavolta sono davvero esausta e...devo prepararmi per il giorno dopo...inizio il mio nuovo lavoro, la mia nuova vita...bla bla bla...
Devo essere un minimo preparata e riposata!!!!...saluto tutti con promesse di rivedersi presto ed auguri per la mia futura carriera e mi dirigo verso il mio albergo...
Buona notte Marianna....che meravigliosa vita ti attende!!!!
AMAZING
Paola has not told me exactly where she works ... remained vague ... she just answered YES and NO to my questions to understand where is located her office, but nothing more, so I remain open-mouthed when I get to specified address and I get a fabulous building in front Harrods ... one of the most important tourist shopping destination around the world!! ...
I'm afraid of being misunderstood ... I was wrong ... but at the end, no, it's right here ... I wait for a few minutes, tour through the lighted streets and colorful shops and see people, lots of people.
Within the agreed time my wonderful friend picks me up at the reception with a 32-tooth smile!
She says it's sorry, but a colleague is going away and doing a small little party of farewell, but to me there are no problems ... I do not think twice to tell her that I can wait or I can leave and return to later ... she insists, however, I can stay ... leads me to the bar ... I think about the bar at the company I was working in Italy... NO COMMENT ... here, of course, is totally different .... very trendy bar, soft lighting, lots of people talking and they are in "after work" mood ... I would say fantastic atmosphere, wonderful ... in slang: AMAZING!!
Without saying a word, immediately they give me a bottle of beer and begin to approach some people to know me and chat .... my friend is phenomenal, never leaves me alone, but at the same time makes me have a conversation independently in the end ... I laugh and joke with everyone ... my third beer ... they decide to move to another place ... but at this time I'm really exhausted ... and I have to prepare myself for the next day ... I start my new job, my new life ... blah blah blah ...
I must be prepared and rested at least!! ... I greet everyone with promises to meet again soon and best wishes for my future career and I headed to my hotel ...
Good night Marianna .... what a wonderful life awaits you!!
