Avry's POV
Time already passed by but the agony I felt when I saw my dad lying on the floor with a gunshot on his head still haunts me every night as if I was living in an actual nightmare.
Together with the tick-tock of the clock, I can still hear my mom sobbing in pain while taking her last look at my dad's unwell face.
It happened 2 years ago when my family had a conflict with their business rivals due to our company's financial problems and lack of employees. My mom already told me that I'll be the one who will manage our company soon so I must prepare different possible solutions. But that's all what she'd said. She never mentioned about the threats they've received before so I didn't care that much. If I only knew about it, I must have stopped it. If I only knew about it, I must have saved my father's life.
It's already 4AM in the morning. Just like any usual nights, I didn't sleep well. I overthink a lot, I'm still in the process of recovering and accepting the sad fact. My dad is gone. My mom is here but I can't feel her presence. I never wanted this life. I never dreamed of this. Who on earth would like this anyway?
After graduating in college, I temporarily applied in a coffee shop near here in Vladimir. I never told my mom about this because for sure, she won't let me.
I'm in love with coffee since my dad let me witness how he makes his specialty for my mom since they were just in high school. I can still remember how my dad's eyes sparked when he gave it to my mom. I miss those type of moment so badly.
7:30AM. I locked the door of our house because my mom went to the company earlier without telling me. It's always like that. We seldom talk for almost 2 years. I miss her, the old her. She's the complete opposite of herself now. I know that she's hurt after what happened to dad, and I understand it very much. But why is she ignoring me for so long? Can't she remember me? Am I not worthy in her life? I don't know, I really don't.
I rode on a taxi and lend my fare to the driver. It took us 15 mins to reach the coffee shop where I'm currently working. The shop's already open but there are only few people drinking different types of coffee. Others are drinking with their partners, some are alone. Before they caught me looking at them, I directly went inside and take in charge on the vacant counter.
"Maybe it was just a wrong number, Liershan. Calm down" the man wearing a blue corner tshirt said as he enter the shop.
"Shut up, okay? I'm not scared or what. You look scared, don't you?" the man who I think is Liershan said in a sarcastic tone.
"Nah, I'm just out of my mind right now. I think Cappuccino will bring me back to normal. Hmm, Miss?"
"Me?" I suddenly said which made me palpitate. Oh gosh, what's happening?
"Yes. You. Who else would be huh?" Liershan said as he rolled his eyes and put his hands on his pocket.
Damn it. Balloon headed. Grr
"What's your order, Sir?" I shamely asked both of them. They pointed at the TV screen while uttering some words. I can't understand them! I'm still nervous.
"That's our order, Miss" they said as they proceed at the table near the window. I'm about to call them but I was voiceless. What's their order again? Was that Cappuccino? Espresso? Ristretto?
After 10 minutes, I then bring their orders but I'm not sure if this was their order. I hope it is. Our boss might fire me just because of this crap.
I roam around 'til I reach their table. I think they are both working in a prestigious company. There are some files scattered on the table and I guess, they went here to plan. They look so stress which made me feel more nervous. What if they'll scold me for being coward? What if --?
"What if?" Liershan said while staring at me, so deep. I said it that loud?
"Uhm- I mean..." He didn't let me finish what I was saying because he get the coffee on the tray and put it on the table. Then, he's back to his normal state. He read and read and read. He didn't bother to complain about their orders so I guess, I got it right. Thank God.
Afterwards, the two men left the shop and rode on their car. I don't know why but all of a sudden, I proceed on the table where they sit. The table is already clear but there's a piece of paper left. It says " Liershan Hidre Y. Isles; Isles Company; the presentation is on June 15. Bring all the documents for approval. To let you know, this one is also needed there."
This one is needed there? But how would I bring this back to them? Where would I get the courage to do this? Their pen is also there. It has a mark, "Liershan's". Woah, that guy isn't that careless huh? As I get the paper from the table, I saw a sticky note on the cup. It says...
"You didn't hear my friend? He ordered Cappuccino. But you gave us Espresso. Tss, consider yourself lucky bcs I kept my mouth shut." -L
OH NO.
