I return to the office the next day and my office is surprisingly shiny.

Apologizing.

Cool.

I walk to my table he is under it digging documents.

"What are you doing!"

I chased.

"Uh...oh..Fixing them in order..."

He is shaking.

"Those are important stuff,get out!"

He speeds his skinny legs to the exit.

I really hate him

Aunt's calling, inviting me for dinner.

After work I retire over the side wall,it's been such a long day.

I call for him.

He stumbles inside.

"Let's go together we're already late"

I said as I discover more missed calls and text from Mara on phone.

"Where?"

He asks confusingly.

"Your house,aunt's having a feast back home you're not aware!?"

"No it's already ugh ended!"

He murmurs.

What is he..?

"Alright then I'll go back home I guess and you can complete your work and go home too."

I sigh relief and headed for home.

Back at home,

Nobody's there...?

I went in the kitchen and arranged a meal out of leftover bread pudding and some vegetable rice.

Mara's calling.

"Where are you? I'm surprised you're late!"

She says teasingly.

That idiot!

"I wouldn't make it,apologize on my behalf"

I say gritting my teeth.

"What!? Why?"

I hang up.

Not in a mood to even speak right now.

Why did he say it was over?

What's wrong with him?

The next day.

I showered my burning presence over him.

"Why did you keep me away from going to your house! I need your answer!"

I said leaning over his table.

He bends back on his chair and soon he's on the floor.

Yes it was an conspiracy, I wanted him to fall.

I walked inside my office as he followed.

"Ugh oh ...I ...ugh. I thought we were already very late"

He says very unsurely.

"Oh is that so, why weren't you home till midnight? Dad said he couldn't see you there?"

I ask pressing my lips together and hands now folded.

"Because I was working!"

He at once presents his excuse.

Won't tell. (Previously Abraar) [wattys2016]Where stories live. Discover now
