Episode 6
"You are up" Andrew voice filled the room.
My heart pounded so hard that I could hardly open up my heavy eyes. I tried to move but my body was sore as if I had so many drink and woken with a bad hangover.
I grunts sitting upright with my eyes barely open.
"What about Lily? I held my head ignoring the weird headache.
"Who? He questioned with surprise in his tone.
"The little girl I was with" I muttered.
"What girl? Are you sick somewhere George?
"What the Hell happen last night to make you drink until you can't feel your legs, I had to carry you on my back and bring you here! He yelled this time
"W-what are you talking about? My brow scampered in confusion.
The weird headache sudden feel to fade away.
I glanced at the ceiling, it was different , immediately I realized the mattress didn't feel like mine.
Glancing around the whole room, clothes were hang on a half open drawers. It was completely different from my room.
"Is this your room?
"Do you think I borrow this? He scoffed into the air.
I was confused and my mind was filled with questions.
"What about the gunshot? My wound? I travel my hand on my chest immediately but it was really weird
Nothing was wrong, I couldn't feel a pain.
His black eyes keep staring at me with surprise
"What the hell are you talking about? Are you getting nut Man? He stepped into the kitchen.
Was it a dream?
"Where the Hell do you find me? I rushed out my question
"At the usual bar, is something wrong? He glared at me walking back with a mini tray which I never bother to care about.
"Was that really a dream? I whispered underneath but I was sure he heard that.
"What? Do you have a bad nightmare? He questioned passing the plate,
"To cure your hangover" He muttered softly.
An omelette with veggies and lot of cream sodas
"Obviously, It was a very scary one " I huffed into the air.
"What was it about? He questioned with sense of curiousness in his voice.
"Never mind, I just happen to make some stupid decision in my dream" I muttered munching on the omelette
I felt so glad that it was just a dream.
I will rather travel through the soft path than going through the hard path.
"You should hurry and return home, your wife must be waiting" His voice interrupted
"Who?
"Cynthia of course" He shuffled his feet around the house.
"She left" I whispered.
"Left? What do you mean? He raised a brow turning to my face.
"We got divorced, she said she was tired of everything" I whispered sincerely
"I can't believe you are back to Single Man" He cracked
"Seriously? Is that really funny? I scoffed
"My bad" He growled
"Andrew, between going the soft path and going the Hard path, which path do you prefer? I was forced to question.
"Going through the Soft way of course, What are you thinking? He raised his shoulder.
"Never mind" I rumbled getting off the bed
"Where is the bathroom? I slid my feet into the flip flops which was right beside the mattress feet.
"There" He pointed at the closer door.
"Wait a minute, Are you planning to do something to Cynthia? His voice stopped me.
I turned around and simply looked at his face.
"No, Am only trying to get rich for myself and I will going through the soft Path and not the Hard path... I can't risk my life" I lock eyes with him and left him in darkness.
"What do you mean? Are you planning to do something evil? Like Rob a bank? He screamed
"More easier than robbing" I grinned before twisting the door knob.
I was welcome by the pleasant smell in his bathroom
"This smell really nice" I inhale the pleasant scent with a soft smile.
"I can't just believe you" He scoffed dashing towards the mini kitchen.
Within a blink of an eyes, He was back.
"Perhaps, Can you allow me to follow you through the soft path?
"Get away! I slammed the door at his face.
I crouched down as I watched my feet submerged in the water.
The atmosphere was calm and quiet as many thought ran through my head
My knee wobble remembering Cynthia but I was really done sobbing over her.
The door creak as I open it quietly and slowly
"Can you let me stay here for more days Andrew? I peeped through the small space
"No way Mister! His horrible voice shunned me off.
-
"Where the hell are we going? Andrew grunt behind me
"We are going through the soft path" I hopped on the tiled road
I stared beautifully at the stunning environment.
The Billionaire's Road, The name says it all.
"Hey, Are we going to keep walking under this scorching sun? He glanced at the sky
"We have no choice, or should we just get a car? I turned backwards.
"Car....Tesla? Benz? Audi? Which brand do you prefer? He shrugged
I chuckled
"Your choice and I will get you " I sounded so serious.
"I prefer Mercedes-Benz" He grinned.
"Consider it done, It would be deliver at your doorstep" I added.
He began to laugh uncontrollably.
"You must be crazy Man, How on earth will you afford it? We hardly had three times meal" He laughed loudly like a maniac
I stay quiet and keep on walking
Finally, I was at the door step of the soft path.
I sigh at the sight of the Big Mansion. It was a tall pretty building that was painted white which was similar to the cloud that hovered in the sky.
A man with a White and Black attire arrived at the door.
"What do you want Mister? He stared vividly at my face.
"Am here to contest as a groom for Rodriguez's Daughter" I never knew when those words left my mouth.
I chooses the soft path to become rich.
"Am sorry but it too late, The portal is closed!
The smile on my face instantly disappeared
Did I... choose.. the wrong path?
