Something Best For Me

Big Brother

The next day I woke up earlier, than usual.

Even Noah woke up on time.

We both had breakfast together. But the table was filled with silence. And that too thick of tension.

Neither us knew what to do next.

No doubt I'd to start job hunting. But from where, when, how. All these unanswered questions threatened us and kept roaming in our mind.

Who would even employ me, an uneducated girl who is just 22.

NO ONE!!

But no one knew the importance of this job for me, except my brothers.

To release the tension, Noah spoke, "So how are gonna search for a new job. Have you gone through those advertisements in the newspaper."

"Umm....,ya.......but I couldn't find anything useful. I did read yesterday's newspaper. But I haven't read today's"

"Oh-then let me get it for you"

He goes out of the room and I hear a slamming of the door. Guess Noah will have to buy a newspaper from the market.

Again  I got lost in my thoughts and world. As I was about to dig in deeper into them, my phone rang.

"Hey, Baby Girl!!!!!"

"Isaac"
He sure does know when to call me.

"So how are you and where's Noah? I haven't talked to him for days now. Give the phone to him, I wanna hear my little monster's voice."

"Oh-Noah, he has gone to the market to but the daily newspaper."

"So early in the morning...... As much as I remember, he had never been a morning person. What's up? Is there any problem?"       I swear to god he can read my mind even though he isn't here.

"Oh, No!!! No there isn't any problem. Uh...he wanted to go for an early morning walk so he went out. Everything is fine here. We both are great and really happy." I said sounding too much cheerful than required.

I hope he doesn't notice this. Please God. Please God. Ple-

"Something is wrong, Isla. You sound way too cheerful for yourself. Tell me what's the issue or I'll come down there myself." There goes my praying. I sigh.

"It's just that....uhm..."

"ISLA" That was the tone which made me shit my pants and I'm very close to doing that right now.

"Ohk. It's just that Ivelostmyjobandnowivenoplacetowork." I said that all in a single breathe.

"Can you please speak a language which I do know" Isaac said irritated.

"I've lost my job, Isaac. Now I I've no place to go work and earn for a living."

I was greeted the utter silence.

And then the banger-

"YOU-WHAT??"

" have lost my job" I completed his sentence.

"And this happened......?" And queue the interrogation.

"Yesterday"

"And you didn't tell me yesterday because..."

"I was afraid you will be disappointed just like mom and dad were before..."    That constricted my heart. Talking about their death is way too much for me.

"Isla..." I heard him sigh. "They weren't disappointed, they were just angry as you told them the decision at the eleventh hour."

"Whatever floats your boat" I told him with a sigh.

I know the truth. He doesn't.

"Isla....."

"I don't want to talk about this. Please change the topic."

"Oh, well then have you started looking for a new job?"

"Sort of and that's what I wanted the newspaper for."

And right on queue, the door opened and slammed again and in came Noah, with the daily newspaper.

"Oh!! Noah is here. I'll pass on the phone to him, talk to him."

"Love you, Isla and remember I'll be there for you forever and ever"

"Love you too"

"Noah give me the newspaper and take the phone and talk to Isaac" I told Noah as stood there lost in his world.

"Sure."

He took the phone from me and went out of the room to talk with Isaac.

I started searching through the newspaper for some legible jobs.

Actually happy that I found some, I decide to go for the interviews in the evening or tomorrow morning.

Hope I actually find a nice decent job.

Sorry Guys, I've been the worst writer ever. I know I update really slow but behind a teenage author and the school work doesn't help at all.

I promise I'll try to update more often from now.

Appearance of Mr. Arrogant in next chapter. Just a face for him.

Love you all😘
