Joe's Pov

"thanks for helping me brother jim."

we are here now in my rented house to get my stuff but later i can't call this my rented house anymore because i won't be living here, and it's good for me because atleast i'll stop paying rent every month.

and it's funny because yesterday i was looking for a job just to pay the rent, but now it turns out that i will leave here.

well the lord has a different plan for me haa, and i pray and i hope that this new job will continue so i won't come back here.

"you're welcome, boss also ordered me to help you." brother jim said.

right, speaking of our boss, brother jim warned me about him that i don't make any mistakes because that's what he hates the most, and he couldn't stand it when people made mistakes. But doesn't everyone make mistakes? even him? he is not god, he is a human too, he can make mistakes.

nevermind. if he make mistakes, i will laugh at him. mark my word!

"joe..."

"yes brother jim?"

brother jim laughs then said, "i'm right, you didn't hear what i asked."

"ohh, sorry brother jim, what is that again?"

"i said, is this enough? so we can go back home."

"ahhh yes!" i smiled, then we got out and went to the car.

fast forward -

when we get home, brother jim still helped me put my things in my room.

"thank you again brother jim." i said after putting all my things in my room.

"it's fine and welcome here, so it's up to you to fix your stuff there. i will leave it you now."

i nodded.

"by the way, here's another piece of advice for you joe, be careful around the boss." he said before he leave my room.

i furrowed my brows, why should i be careful around him?

then i remembered what happened earlier in the office. is that what brother jim means?

my thoughts were conflicted already!

fast forward -

night time, and it's time for rest but i'm lying on my bed, tossing and turning, still thinking about what brother jim said to me earlier.

unable to sleep, i decided to go outside for some fresh air 'cause i wanted to relax then i'm searching for a comfortable spot.

later on, i found the garden and some chairs so i sat down - the air was refreshing, calming, and it eased my tiredness. i smiled, closed my eyes and enjoyed the cool breeze.

but minutes later, the refreshing and calming of the air was replaced by dread because i felt something strange - i felt that someone was watching me so i immediately looked around.

"who is that?" i called but no one answered me, then later on, i heard something behind of not so small and not so long tree.

"there are no ghosts here, right?"

i sighed, "nevermind, ghost is not real joe..." i comfort myself, then i decided to went inside but when i stood up, i stumbled on the chair - i screamed, closed my eyes and waiting to hit the ground but after a few seconds, i hadn't hit the ground, instead, i felt something hard beneath me.

i opened my eyes and i saw him, my boss, his hands were holding my waist - he was so close, i could feel his breath on my face. i felt my heart was pounding until a cat came out from behind the tree, so it was a cat earlier.

both of us looking at the cat, after that, looking at each other.

back to my senses, i immediately got out of his grip and bowing my head, asking for his forgiveness - brother jim just told me don't make a mistake, but now, it went wrong right away.

"i'm very sorry boss..."

"what are you doing here? why are you still awake?"

"i... i can't sleep boss so i decided to go out of my room and have some fresh air here, but i felt drowsy now so i'm going back inside, boss. i... i'm very sorry again."

"okay, you can go." he said without expression, just a serious mode of his face.

i bowed again, and i was about to go back inside but he spoke, so i stopped.

"maybe, you'll still not used to being here, that's why you can't sleep well."

"uhh m...maybe boss." i said hesitantly.

"but you have to get used to it, and you will get used to it because once you live here, you can't come out anymore. goodnight joe."
