*Pffff…!!!!!* "HA HA HA HA" Akhil suddenly bursts into laughter.``Damn, this is lit , it's just so funny! How does he even come up with these types of jokes?" He said while watching his favourite mytuber, on his phone.
"umm…excuse me, Sir?"
Hmm?
Akhil looked up from his phone and took off his ear plugs, to see the beautiful waitress standing in front of his table, with a smile plastered on her face. But if anyone looks carefully, they will notice her eyes are not smiling at all.
"Sir, could you please speak slowly, other customers are getting disturbed" said the waitress, maintaining the same professional smile.(again her eyes were not smiling).
Akhil looked around the cafe room, to see people giving him strange looks.
He awkwardly coughed *chough* *chough*
"a-ah...sorry 'bout that" and apologised to the waitress, while rubbing the back of his head.
*smile* "It's fine, Thank you for your consideration." "If you need anything, please let me know," said the waitress before walking away from his table.
Akhil kept stealing glances at her back 'part', while sipping his 'now-cold' coffee. The girl was a real beauty, it wouldn't be surprising if she was a runway model.
*Haaa...* But akhil could only sigh. He knows well that, with his face and the ' family pack ' hanging down his belly, he will never get a girl like her.
It's been many years since he became an orphan. He was in middle school at that time, now he was already a college graduate.
He doesn't live a very healthy life, mostly eating fast foods and no exercise at all. Thus, turning him into this fat, ugly dude he is today.
Though a graduate, Akhil has no stable source of income, he was still unemployed. He mostly does miscellaneous work here and there to earn some money.
Akhil took a file from his bag and started to go through it.
He doesn't usually come to such fancy cafe's, as the prices here are far higher than any other. But today was a special day.
Recently he applied for a job with good pay.
And today he was meeting with the people incharge of taking his interview. He was really excited and equally nervous about that. To not get anything wrong and leave a bad impression, he came one hour earlier than the assigned time.
Akhil looked at the watch on his wrists, and thought 'It's already passed the assigned time, why aren't they here yet?'
The meeting time was 1pm, and it was already 1:10 pm, but there was no sign of his interviewers yet.
Bzz~Bzz~Bzz~
While he was contemplating, his phone started to buzz.
" Oh! Hello! Sir, I am already at the meeting spot waiting, may i know when you will be here. " said Akhil, while picking up the call.
" Mr. Akhil Ray, good afternoon. "
greeted a blunt voice from the otherside of the call. " Would you spare some of your time? We have something to inform you."
" Yes? What is it? "
" The thing is mr. Akhil, we will not be able to conduct the interview, we apologise. "
said the blunt voice.
Hearing this, Akhil's mind went trance.
" E-excuse m-me! I didn't understand! Would you please repeat that? "
" Yes mr. Akhil, we will not be able to conduct the interview, we apologise. " repeated the blunt voice at Akhil's request.
"B-but why!? YOU CAN'T DO THAT!! YOU PROMISED ME THE INTERVIEW" yelled akhil loudly, earning the strange stares from the people present in the cafe again.
" Please calm down mr. Akhil. There is a reason behind it. " said the blunt voice in a calm tone.
" What is it?! "
" Our owner passed away this morning. " said the blunt voice, maintaining the calm tone.
"What?!" Now this was Akhil's time to be surprised.
" Yes, and this morning after he passed away, our company got a notice from the bank saying that the owner has a debt of over 25 million, which has remained unpaid." said the blunt voice still maintaining the calm tone.
"WHAT?! 25 MILLION? That's a lot!!"
" Yes, so the bank said that they are going to take over the company." said the blunt voice ( calm mode is still ON).
"Hah?" akhil's mouth hung open
" Yes, and that's why the company is disbanded and all of us employees are now jobless, my childrens are still in school, I have all my house bills left pending, I have my EMI to pay, I have my wife's hospital bills to pay as she is in coma for 10 months AND YOU ARE YELLING BECAUSE YOU CAN'T GIVE A FUCKING INTERVIEW?" yelled out the blunt voice before returning to the usual calm tone. "Yes, so that's how it is. I hope you understand our situation. I will be putting off the call now. Please take care". Saying that he cut off the call.
Akhil was just sitting there stunned by the development. Honestly he was feeling very sorry for that guy. He can't imagine what is he going through.
*Haaaaa…* 'fuck!' He could only sigh and curse his rotten luck.
He got up and went to the counter to pay the bill for the coffees. His heart ached when he saw the amount on the bill. But nonetheless he paid the money reluctantly and walked out of the cafe.
While walking down the road with heavy steps Akhil heard a sound.
Meow~ meow~
He looked around to see where the sound was coming from.
After searching, he found a small kitten was stuck in cable wires in a corner of the alley. It was trying hard to get out of the binding but couldn't.
"owoo, tch, tch…" Akhil clicked his tongue lightly. "Looks like your luck is rotten today too buddy. Here let me help you."
Saying he went to free the kitten.
After removing the cables, he looked at the kitten and mused. "whoa, you are so handsome buddy, bet you get a lot of girls, unlike me." *HA HA HA HA*
While akhil was talking to the kitten, something magical happened,
"wh-what!?"
the kitten started glowing brightly and the bright light enveloped Akhil.
And the next moment Akhil's entire existence vanished from the spot where he was.
**************
In the middle of a vast desert, spreading as much as the eyes can see, was standing a boy with ugly face and round belly, wearing modern clothes.
He had a dumb expression on his face.
"WHAT THE F*CK DID JUST HAPPEN!?" Said Akhil, our protagonist.
