Of Roses & Briefcase

Chapter 1

Bzzt.. Bzzt.. Bzzt..

What's that sound? That vibrating sound is so darn annoying! Who in the world is calling me in the middle of the night?! Razlan blabbered to himself. Disturbance, was the first thing that was on his mind. He quickly searched for his phone where was no where to be found, most probably had fallen off the enormous King sized bed with stripes of blue and white duvet that really matched with plain gray fitted bedsheets. Lazily, he crawled down his bed and reached for his phone thus placed it on his left ear.

"*yawns* Hello? Don't you know what time it is now to be calling at this hour?!" He raised his voice over the phone while rubbing his eyes back and forth. What a waste to be awake at this time, I, in fact was dreaming of riding a unicorn, flying over the rainbow with Miss Betty, the hedgehog. It felt so surreal, how carefree it was totally kept my mind off things, burdens on the shoulder as if was lifted away from me, seeing the 7 colours of the rainbow was like tasting a slice of delicious rainbow cake made from heaven, the air that I breathe was like inhaling a mixture smell of greens and rain. Oh how I wish I could actually live in my dream, worry-free.

Lol, I'm a grown man, why did I even dreamt of unicorns! Said Razlan to himself while knocking his fist on his chest.

"RAZLAN! YOU ARE LATE! Don't you know what time it is?! It's 10am, have you forgotten about the meeting you were supposed to attend at 9am with Mr Albert regarding the project in Sarawak?!"

That voice. I think I recognize that voice.. Oh my! It's Mama! Oh dear, I am so dead, I'd be a roasted chicken once I step into the office later!

"What..? It's still dark in my room. Oh no, I forgot to switch on the blinds to automatic when the sun rises! I'll be right over Ma, just give me 30 minutes! Bye love you!"

Razlan immediately jumped out of his gigantic bed, grabbed his blue towel and off he went to the toilet.

Blue. His favourite colour since he was little until now, at the age of 28, every single thing would be in blue. All shades of blue. Even his walk-in wardrobe room painted with soft blue, the wardrobe itself is in navy blue, almost all his shirts and T-shirts are in blue, from the darkest to the lightest shades of blue. But still there are some other colours like green, red, yellow, black, gray and white too. Of course, all of that were definitely not him who have bought it, gifts from loved ones, mum and his sisters. He picked up his dad's traits more than his mum. Especially in this term.

After showering, he put on his blue coloured shirt with all white suit. Rubbing a little bit of gel over his straight dark brown hair, styling them just like Josh Duhamel's hair. His feet slide on gently and carefully into his black leather shoes from Aldo, said goodbye to Miss Betty and drove off to work in his blue Volvo.
