I don’t know how am I going to pay it. My job is lost amd I need to pay 300, 000 dollars to my boss… Uh uh ex boss. Wow what a timing.
I took the receipt paper and took out a paper from my bag.
“Give this to Mr Gold” i gave the paper to the nurse and i walked home. My leg was hurting a little and I was dragging my leg and my right hand was wrapped in a guaze. It attracted many people’s attention.
As i was getting out of the hospital, I saw a few similar faces getting out of one of the room ahead of me. I didn’t expect to see them here .
“Looks like life have been tough after you got kicked out .” Sarah said crossing her arms in front of her chest.
” Of course, She’s nothing without our family. Look at her, looks like she got beaten by a group of people ” Mom… Mrs Wilson started laughing ” Don’t tell me people hit you because you tried to rob food for your living. ”
Sarah as well laughed with her.
I didn’t want to talk to them . I don’t want to say anything about my living nor about my wounds. So i turned back silently and moved forward.
But suddenly Sarah pulled my wrist and turned me back “Don’t you think you can melt dad and came back home.”
“Don’t worry I won’t ” i pulled my wrist back .
“Your life is this bad, do you think we’ll believe you? ” Mom said angrily.
I shook my head and said ” I won’t mo…. Ms Wilson. Even I’m dead, i won’t came back”
“You better keep your words” she warned me.
I turned to leave. But a loud voice came from behind.
“You are no one to dad now. He hates you for leaving him while he was broke. He thinks he had done a mistake by taking you back from orphanage ” Sarah said loudly.
I looked around and now people are looking at me. I felt embarrassed.
I looked back at her and asked ” Did he loves you now? ”
“You…” she pointed a finger at me but I ignored her and got out of the hospital. This was the best hospital in the city ‘Golden Hospital .” I think of the medical fee and sighed.
I took a taxi back to the apartment. When I went to the apartment the apartment was locked. I put on the passcode and went inside.
I looked at the watch. It was going to be five soon and office hour was going to end. I called Anyee. And she picked up .
” Hello. I was about to call you. Where are you. Just send me the location I’ll came there. ” she said.
” No… No. .. You don’t have to. I’m at my apartment now. ”
“Really ?” she asked
“Yeah, i just reached ” i said.
“ok then? Should I came there? Are you ok by yourself ?” she sounded concerned.
” I’m fine. It was just some minor wounds. I’ll be ok. ”
“Ok then, have some rest” she said
“OK ”
“Bye”
“Bye”
After disconnecting the call, i called Cami again. This time Cami picked up the phone.
“You Idiot, now you remember you have a friend too. Where the hell are you? Do you freaking know I’ve been to that damn village all by myself. I move so damn top of that mountain and still you were not there. Just tell me where the hell are you now? ” she started shouting as soon as the call was connected.
“Cami, I’m at our apartment. ”
“where? ” she stopped suddenly and calmed down.
“Our apartment ” i said.
” you just wait. I’m coming ”
She disconnect the phone. I looked at the screen and smiled.
I went to the bed and got on the bed and wanted to sleep but i can’t sleep.
After about fifteen minutes, the door opened and Cami came in.
” Where the hell were you yesterday ?” She started shouting as soon as she came in.
I woke up and sat on the bed. She came quickly and hugged me tightly.
” Can’t you even call me once before you go. You said you may be late but never came. I thought… I thought i lost you” she started sobbing in my shoulder.
I listened to her complains silently and let her cry.
” I didn’t sleep the whole night yesterday. Today i took a sick leave and went to search for you. Thankfully Anyee knew the place you were going. ” she said between her sobbing ” While i was out of the city, I saw a lot of blood at a jungle. I got so scared. I thought i have losted you like i losted my parents. I…. I went to that village, they told me that you returned from there on time. Do you know how scared i was? ”
“I’m fine now. Look I’m alive in front of you. And I’m not leaving you never. ” I consoled her.
I tried to take her off the shoulder but she instead grabbed my hand and asked ” how the hell did this happened ? Is it serious? ” she asked me.
“I’m fine now ” i smiled at her.
“Tell me what exactly happened ” she demanded.
Then I told her everything. She was the only one I could tell everything. Her expression changed from anger to concerned to sad and she was crying at the part where wolves were attacking me. She didn’t object anything when i told her about that wolf who saved me.
” This time you have to believe me. This is the proof of that incident and that black wolf exist. ” I said pointing at my right arm.
She said nothing and hugged me. And I hugged her back.
“I’m hungry ” I said changing the subject .
“I’ll go make something for you. ” i nodded.
She quickly made some eggs, white rice and some veggies. She put them on two bowls and take to me.
We both enjoyed our food .
“What about your job? ” she asked me.
” I can’t get back on time. I need to search for new jobs now. ” i told her.
“It’s good you’re not working for that egoistic bastard. He can’t just send someone that far just because she accidentally poured some drinks on your suit. We’ll find you some other job. ” she said.
“I know. And I need to do it quick, he may ask the money soon” i said.
We went silent for a while. We both knew 300, 000 dollars was not some small amount. We can’t get that much money if we work for few years.
