Slave..... Will I Ever Be Free??

Meeting

The continuous ringing of the cell phone made the owner of the house sleeping peacefully groan in frustration. A hand reached out for shutting off the culprit that was continuously screaming over the top of the voice. The person blinked few times before finally opening his eyes completely and then staring at the screen that reflected an urgent number.

With a much annoyed face, he pressed the answer button and placed the cell phone against his ear while answering in his croaky voice, "Helloo...." He dragged the last syllable as he still tried to shake his sleepy brain up.

"Ae, we are having meeting with Pitchaya so I was expecting you to be present. It's already time, I expect you to be there in another 30 mins." He heard the voice from the other side. His sleep disappeared at that very instant and he dashed in the direction of the bathroom.

"Damn hell!! Where the heck is my toothbrush!!" He grumbled while rummaging through the cupboards. Cursing all the time, he finally found the object in the toothbrush holder, looking at him innocently. He grabbed it and almost emptied the whole tube of toothpaste over it in hurry.

He brushed his teeth in haste and then moved to shower. Just spending two minutes in shower, he appeared out naked searching for his towel. "Shiyaaa!! I am already late!!" he shouted looking at the watch. He walked out of the bathroom naked with the water drops still dripping from his body.

He grabbed the clothes and wore them, caring less to check whether he looked presentable enough or not. He rushed out of the bedroom making his way to the door. "Sir!!" the call from butler stopped him. "What is it?" he asked impatiently.

"Sir, your shirt.... It's not buttoned." The butler replied. He looked down at his shirt to find it hanging open. He hurriedly buttoned it up while walking in the direction of the door. "Sir!!" the butler called again. Ae halted in tracks and turned around with annoyed face. "What?" he asked in frustration. "Your tie!" the butler sad handing him the piece of cloth.

Ae grabbed it and then rushed outside the building while searching his pockets for the car keys. "Damn!! I forgot the keys again." He said while turning around to head in the direction of the building.

As he was about to make a run to get the keys, he saw the butler standing at the door with the keys in his hand. A wave of relief washed over him and he hurried to get them. "Thank you James." He said while snatching the key and making a run in the direction of the car. "Sir, please take this!!" James said while handing him the sipper. "Thank you James." Ae replied while running.

He unlocked the car and threw himself inside and hastily started the engine. He glanced at the clock that was indicating his deadline. He stepped on the accelerator, pulling out of the premises and driving at a full speed.

"Por, is gonna kill me if I happen to get late for the meeting. I should have set a reminder." He spoke to himself. He picked up the sipper and sipped the juice. His one hand was on the steering wheel while other was holding the sipper. He would sip the juice occasionally while making his way towards the destination.

Finally, after breaking 4 signals and almost missing two times, he reached the destination just one minute early. "29 mins 15 secs." Ae's father stated looking at him. "Err... There was traffic and then an old lady was driving at a very slow speed-" "and then the cop stopped you and started with the inquiry. Isn't it my boy?" the father interrupted Ae's explanation.

"Exactly por!! How did you come to know?" Ae asked pretending to be surprised. "Well son, I was notified about a speeding car that broke 4 signals and missed 2 of them. And the person was in real hurry!" the father spoke sarcastically.

Ae looked at his father guilty and then tried to make a puppy face. "Do you think that you can make me fall for your tricks? You are already grown up Ae. You should learn to be responsible. This is the last time I am excusing you for your behavior. There wouldn't be next time." The father threatened. Having rich and powerful father, and especially the one that had his eyes on his son all the time, wouldn't miss a single detail about his only son.
