Serendipity

I woke up with the bright sunlight stroking my face as my dark room brightened up. I felt something soft caressing my face and I opened my eyes to see my dog, Luke rubbing his fur on my face something he does to wake me up.

"Get off me you bitch"

And there goes my 'oh so happy' day.
He jumped on me trying to break a bone of mine or so i guess.

"Alright alright I'm sorry get aside now" I said slowly rubbing his head.

I got up to freshen up, wear my office clothes and when I was dressed up, Mrs. Liliana called me to have breakfast. She's a very sweet and soft spoken lady. She is more like a mother to me. My mom since I was born has had some serious health issues due to which she was not able to take care of me much.

So Mrs. Liliana was hired as my mothers helper and on few occasions my caretaker as well. She supported us through thick and thin acting like a mother.

The one who's not aggressive.
Hope my mother doesn't hear this.

"Morning Mrs. Liliana"

"Morning dear have your breakfast. I've cooked your favourite today and do call Luke he must be hungry" She exclaimed with her ever existing soft smile as it reached her eyes due to which her face got slightly wrinkled.

I wonder if it's her affection or was the situation not in her favour that she had to work at this age. I have increased her pay, tried to help her with things but this woman is a paper. A piece of paper with which you share words but never the other way around. What is her story?

Well I'll never know for she's hell of a secretive person. I've heard her talking about her daughter and son. They seem like good children which made me think it really was the affection which makes her stay.

With these thoughts I finished my breakfast, sat in my car and drove through the busy streets of New York.

This busy place always makes me wonder if in future we would even be able to live a life.

A real one.

I am the CEO of a company my father gave up his whole life for. He was dedicated to make the company best of all and now I want to do so.

It was difficult though as my father never wanted me to be the CEO, probably because he knew the burden and life that comes with the position.

That man has spent his life dividing all his attention to family and company. Nothing else. One the reason he fears me working for this company as it holds my future.

He wanted me to pursue my dream job but unfortunately this was what I wanted to do. I have always had a wish to open a small cafe but I guess I never considered it.

My mother and father fell in love. Young love. But with family burden and my moms medical issues my father had to work hard. I guess it was another reason why as a child I just wanted to work for the company.

To not let his hardwork die. To not let the memories die.

I got this job but not as a heir, I worked for it just as any normal person would.

And somehow this was the first time my father was not pleased with my success. For the first time he despised it. He was against me joining the company.

I still wonder why.

5..4.. This red light is making me overthink, what is wrong with me.

Suddenly I noticed my assistant- running? She's late as usual and getting ride at this time is real difficult so i think yet again I'll have to lecture her.
