Eisen's POV
" Eisen wake up, I'm going to the market. I need to buy some fish for our lunch," I opened my eyes when I heard that loud voice coming from my mother. I sat up and rubbed my eyes as I yawned.
It's been years. It's been 7 years after my father died. That night... the night I will never forget.
my dad died because based on the police report he was hit by a car. But...arrggghh never mind.
"Yes ma!" I answered back as I stood up and walked to the kitchen to get some water. These days I felt that my throat is drained.
When I reached the kitchen. I grabbed a glass and filled it with water then drink it hurriedly like there's no tomorrow. I just felt like my throat is itchy and it's ruining my mood.
kring! kring! kring!
I was shocked because of the the sound coming from my phone so I dropped the glass of water.
"Shaks!" I exclaimed.
"Who the eff is calling this early?!" I said in disbelief and get my phone then answered it.
"Hello?!" I shouted at the phone as I was looking on the broken glass on the floor.
"Mr. Buenviaje.." a bucket of ice.
It felt like a bucket of ice was poured on me when I heard my boss voice. My gosh, I just yelled my boss.
"Y-yes b-boss...?" Sweats are falling down from different parts of my body as my hands were shaking. Okay Eisen relax. Inhale...Exhale..
"Come here in the office, I have something to tell you" He answered. Is my boss angry? is he going to fire me , because I yelled at him?
"W-what time b-boss?" I asked with a shaking voice. Eisen what have you done? now, what will you do if you lost your job? that's the only job you have, you idiot!
"Now." I can't feel any emotions from my boss response. I guess he is really mad at me. Now what Eisen?!
"Y-yes boss!" I said then hang up the phone. After the call I cleaned the broken glass .
Without eating my a breakfast I hurriedly go back to my room and change my clothes.
"I hope he's not mad...I hope he's not going to fire me,"I prayed while I was riding a taxi going to the company i'm working.
********************
(The Company)
"What?!!!" I exclaimed. You wanna know why? augh! It's just that my boss is not firing me but, yeah there's a but!
"Yes, Eisen it's not that hard okay?" gosh my boss face is just calm as eff. He is asking a favor that is too dangerous.
"It's too dangerous boss," I disagreed.
" You said that 7 times already,and how many times O have to tell you that it's just cleaning the basement of our company and find the last article our company made," He replied. Augh, I just can't do it.
"Boss isn't there any other favor? work? I just can't do it, please," I begged.
"Why? it's so easy, it's more easier than writing a whole article. You just have to clean the basement then search for the article last year," my gosh why can't my boss understand that I don't want to do it?!
"B-because..." Arrgghhh how will I say it without making my self embarrassed.
"Because?" and why is my boss face always calm? Can't he see I'm so tense right now!?
"Becausei'mafraidofratsandcocroaches!" I said without taking a break.
"What?, just slow down Eisen okay? I can't understand you.." he said and looked at me with a raised right brow.
I sighed. Okay I guess my long buried secret will be revealed right now.
I looked at my boss with a puppy eyes face, hoping to understand me.
"Don't look at me with that face just say it already," augh, he is so inconsiderate. With a frown face I faced him again and heaved a deep sigh.
"I-I can't do it because I'm afraid of rats and cockroaches," I said then looked down. I think my face right now is like a tomato. I guess my face right now is so red.
"HA HA HA HA ," I was shocked and taken a back when I heard my boss laughed. Like, what the eff? is he laughing because of me?
I looked at him with an asking face.
"Ha..haa..haa..wait I'm sorry, I just can't help it." so yeah, he is laughing because of me. Grrr.. if he is not my boss maybe I bit him already.
"Okay, okay, so you were saying that you can't do the favor I'm asking you because you're afraid of rats and cockroaches?" I can see on the face of my boss that he's just stopping his self from bursting out of laughing.
"Yes, augh, just laugh boss, don't stop yourself from laughing," I answered and rolled my eyes.
"HA HA HA HA HA ," so yeah. He really laughed.
"Okay, ha ha ha , I'm sorry," he said while wiping some of his tears of "joy" on his eyes. Gosh, is he really my boss? where's the calm and serious face now?
"Anyways, I promise there's no rats and cockroaches there, because our pest control is coming here regularly," he continued as he finished wiping his eyes and laughing. Oh great now what?
"Okay? but boss I still don't wanna do it," I said while thumping my feet. Ha ha maybe I'm looking like a child in front of him, but I don't care as long as he will not make me clean that basement.
"Nope, you'll do it wether you like it or not," he said and looked at me with a serious face. Now he is serious. Seriously?!
"But-"
"No buts, and that's final," Arrghh, I just rolled my eyes and went outside his office.
