How Love Left Me - Episode 6

 

 

 

 

That very day, I got home as early as possible with that big smile all over my face.
My mom couldn't guess the reason behind the smiles but just like every good mother,  as long as I was happy, she was also happy. 

I ate as if I was at a birthday party. I was really happy that day and even in my dreams at night, I saw happiness. I won't tell you the kind of dreams I had that night but trust me, those dreams gave me hope. Stop thinking you can imagine it because you can't even get 1% of the graphics right.

I opened my eyes with a smile, Then I closed my eyes again, imagining how the day was going to be like. The beautiful things that will happen in my life that day. I was actually planning the day in my head as if I had power over how my day should go.

I opened my eyes again following the ringing of my Nokia 5230 Express Music phone. The caller was my boss. I went through the call like this;

Boss: "Joe!"
Me: "Boss good morning!"
Boss: "Won't you come to work today?"
Me: "I will boss, I just woke up and I didn't even check the time but I will be there in about 30mins".

I hanged up and checked the time. Jesus Christ! It was three minutes to 8 O'clock. I'm late.
I rushed into the bathroom, within five minutes I was out in my room dressing up. The next minute, I was in a taxi front sweating like I just dropped out of a marathon.
By the time the taxi gets to the station, I was a bit calm then I alighted. I realized I was wearing bathroom slippers but that was no big problem at all because nobody is going to talk about it and I'm going to be inside the shop all day until we close in the evening.

Then I walked gently like a bridegroom being walked by his best man to meet his bride. I entered the shop with nothing to be nervous about. My boss loved me a lot so my lateness is nothing to get me into trouble.

After few hours of work, I was very hungry so I decided to take some money out of my pocket and get something to eat. I dipped my hand inside my pockets and nothing was found. I looked at my short and realized I was wearing the wrong short for the day. What will I eat for breakfast and lunch?
