Leo's life will be bliss soon....read on...
Leo pov
Dad woke me up to verse on the sea; it will be dawn soon. King crabs are numerous on this time because the ocean is relatively calm at dawn. We have to catch more crabs than others; I don't have much opportunity to enjoy the stupendous bluish beauty; the canvas of orange,yellow and blue may create auspicious beauty but I have little time; often I think I'll voyage in other part of the Mediterranean with love of my life. But, I've not found her yet.
My nose is attacked with salty smell ,me and my dad started journey in our fishing boat.The boat is old fashioned,does not attend much speed; but we don't have money to mend,it's our final destination.
'Yay', I rejoiced as I got a cluster of crabs.Dad hugged me,'Bravo son,you saved our day'.
'Sure dad,we will have much profit today',I said gladly but saw his face suddenly darkened !! now I understood the reason,he doesn't want me to sale them,he want to sale himself....after all his boat,his money !!
I was roaming lazily on my boat; I am enjoying solitude; 'Hey Leo,what are you doing',hearing a smooth voice I looked back to see Johnny uncle smiling at me.
'Hey,what's up....are you boating like me?',I asked.
'I think I asked first', said he ,'I know,you are busy with useless things'.
'How do you know? I caught king crabs today; it's my leisure time',I answered hiding the real facts.
'Son,you are hiding something',he confidently replied,that made me surprised; am I that obvious? I couldn't answer.
On seeing me silent he said,'Will you work in my tavern?'.....those words were really angelic to my ears.
'Obviously....but I can't cook',I smiled,'I will serve foods then'.
'Sure,then join from tomorrow',he assured.
I felt so satisfied ; now I have job,dad won't be able to denounce me.I'll be free. But,I don't know what experience I will gain.The idea of setting myself free ravished me.I know,mom will be happy,but surely dad will object;he objects my anything and everything.
I lazily walked into my home; mom was weaving a small nylon net; the nylon nets are useful on catching small fishes.
'Mom,I got a job',I announced straightly. I saw mirth in her eyes. But dad replied in melancholic tone,'Do whatever you like,not my business'.
His answer pissed me off but I know,he didn't accept my sudden freedom. And I care a hung of his acceptance or rejection.It's my life,I have to fight single handedly.
