This is a story about two individuals from opposite worlds.
They're so different from each other's.
*She is from a lower middle-class family.
*He is a business tycoon.
*She loathes the rich people (there is a valid reason thou).
*He is misogynist...
I was so engrossed with my work, the vibration of the phone startled me. I glanced at the screen of my phone. It was George who was calling me. Ignoring the call. I started searching for a file lying here and there messily on my desk. Again the phone rang and this time it was an extension. It should be Lucy, my secretary. Apart from her, no one can call me on this line.
"I'm sorry Mr. Griffith, I had to disturb you in spite of your warning." Lucy spoke in one breath.
"Alright, go ahead with the matter" I said in my famous cold tone.
"Actually it's your father who insisted on connecting the call with you. But I kept him on hold so that I could get your permission first" said Lucy.
"What! Did dad call you? I literally screamed. And I checked the time on my Rolex watch and the time reading was 11:40 pm already. Oh f#@k! How can I forget that dad's birthday is approaching?
"I will call him by myself" with that said I hung up the call." I scrolled down my phone, there were 3 missed calls from dad, 8 missed calls from George and 5 missed calls from Laura. Laura! Why did she call me? Just seeing her name on the screen of my phone makes me so irritated. As I was about to call my dad, the door to my office opened with a thud.
Bang... With a loud sound opening the door, George entered.
"Wtf are you still doing here? Did you forget that we celebrate dad's birthday and the new year at the strike of 12? He sounded pissed off.
Who do you think you are? How many times did I tell you not to enter my cabin without knocking. I said calmly yet with a rage on my face.
"Seriously Jaz? Is this the time to check whether I knocked on the door. Look, dad is waiting for us. I met him already after reaching Russia, but there 's no news from you and dad expecting that from you. At least you could have informed him that you were busy. And if we don't leave now, then for sure, we're going to miss dad's birthday cake cutting and the New Year party too."
George was right. After landing here, I didn't contact dad and the entire day I was working on the project in my office. Dad must be upset now and even more when I missed his call.
I was about to open the car door. I heard a familiar voice calling my name.
"JaZee"
I turned toward the direction from where the voice was coming. As soon as I saw the person I just wanted to bang George so badly that for at least two days he shouldn't get up from bed. It was Laura. I looked at George, who was giving me an apologetic look.
Avoiding her, I was about to get into the car. She came running and all of sudden she hugged me. This made me beyond angry. If it was not George who pulled her away from me and made her sit in his car immediately, I don't know what would I have done to her.
"What the hell is she's doing here?" I literally bashed at George.
"Hey, cool down dude. look i know that you don't like her but it was dad who wanted Laura to receive you. And you know very well how adamant our dad is. George excused himself by again mentioning dad.
Whatever, but make sure she stays away from me. Saying this, I got into my car and started driving without waiting for them. "I just don't understand why God even created these female creatures on this earth. Isn't it Eve the one who made Adam eat the forbidden fruit at the beginning of this life? Why did God even spare her? God could've destroyed the female creature right then after. I was murmuring to myself", until I reached my house. In front of the gate I could see my dad waiting for me. I pulled over my car and got down.
"Oh my son, you're back!" He hugged me with bone crushing force.
"I'm sorry dad, actually I had an important work to do so I didn't get any time to let you know and answer your calls, I said with an apologetic look on my face.
"Don't be sorry dear, I know now you are a big person who has a lot of responsibility to take care of. And it is enough that you are here today with me" replied Dad. He was happy.
After celebrating his last year's birthday, I was in New York for the entire year working on my new project.
"If the drama of father and son is over then please start the cake cutting ceremony, the clock is going to hit midnight soon." George interfered with the conversation as the time reading was already 11:55. Thankfully, the distance from the office to my house is just about ten minutes, so we made it on time.
The party set up was on the lawn and we all moved forward to cut the cake. I didn't realize so many guests had turned up to attend my dad's birthday party and New Year's, until I heard the claps sound.
In the dark sky, the fire-crackers looked so beautiful with those colorful lights. Everyone was screaming at the 'Happy New Year'. Everyone seemed so joyful and merry. My dad is so lucky that the whole world is celebrating his birthday on this New Year's day.
