THE BOSSES

THE BOSSES
Chapter 2's



The girl's footsteps looked shaky. Tired of lack of passion. His face implied despair. From yesterday he was looking for a job but not a single one called him to come.


These few days he was helping a mother who was selling rib soup. But the pay is not enough for his living expenses. Sighing tiredly he continued his footsteps. His eyes occasionally stared at the towering buildings. Imagine what if he worked in such a good place.


But come on. where might anyone want to accept SMK graduates like him?


Although he is smart.


His eyes widened when he saw a small child hit by a person who passed by in the troroar. The girl approached him immediately.


"Hey, brother. You okay what?" ask the girl to the child who is biting her lips to hold back the cry. He still falls down. His knee hurts so much.


The girl woke him up. Make him stand. "So you got sick, hum?" his voice sounded so soft.


"S-sick" the boy chirped with a sad-sounding suata.


"Where does it hurt? here brother look"


The boy looked at her timidly. "Said P-papa Malk should not speak to a foreigner hyx"


"Malk's? Mark's? your name Mark?" the girl smiled.


"Silent brother is not a bad guy. Brother want to help you, which one hurts hum?"


Mark lifted a little of the pants he was wearing.


"Your knees are hurting?"


Mark responded.


" Come here." the girl crouched down and grabbed Mark's hand. Put it on the thigh. He rolled a little of Mark's pants up to his knees. Mark's knee was slightly scratched and bleeding.


"Look.." The girl reached into her pocket, she pulled out several bands of funny characters.


"Uwaaa. funny" Mark looked amazed.


"Funny right? Which one does Mark want?"


Mark pointed to a band-aid pictured of a watermelon character. Then retrieve. The girl bagged the bands that Mark did not choose.


He took the band-aid out of Mark's hand and placed it on Mark's injured knee after gently blowing it.


"Hush hushhh her pain goes away hushh" the girl calmed Mark who was still grimacing in pain.


"It hurts to be gone soon oiya sis name Anna"


"D-anna? Flozen?"


"Not baby" girl chuckles softly. Before jumping in shock to hear a high intonation sound.


"MARK?"


"P-pa.." Mark looked at the towering man holding a cup of ice cream. Jeffrey. He suddenly immediately took to his carrier from the lap of the girl named Anna.


Jeffrey looked at the face of his son who was covered in a trail of tears. His eyes were shocked. His heart instantly warmed. Angrier.


"What did you do to my son?!"


Anna was stunned to hear the tone of the voice that was too flat and cold.


"I-I didn't do anything ap-"


"Why is my son crying?"


"I-it's t-tadi.." that cold face and sharp piercing tone of voice made him squeak. Even Anna had not been able to stand up. He looked up at Jeffrey. No matter his neck hurt looking up that high.


"Papa. Don't even this big brother is good, he bought this Malk" Mark showed Jeffrey his injured knee.


Jeffrey saw. He sighed but his face did not display any guilt for being prejudiced against the girl.


Anna stand. Finally, there was a hint of courage to explain. He looked at Jeffrey. "Your son was hit by a man and then he got stuck. And I happened to pass by helping him sir"


"Thank you Anna" Mark said. Makes Anna smile softly.


"I'm sorry, but next time be careful. Excuse me. Dah Mark" Anna bowed respectfully and soon passed from the couple's papa and the boy. Once turned around and waved his hand at Mark.


Jeffrey stared flatly at the girl's departure.


"Mark isn't in the same way that big brother is?"


Mark looked at his father and shook his head slowly. "No papa. big brother is good".


Jeffrey and Mark walked to their parked car on the side of the road. Max who saw the arrival of his Master immediately went down and opened the rear passenger door for them.


"Do you want a bribe hm?" jeffrey said as he sat in the car. Mark shook his head, he rubbed his wet eyes and cheeks just crying. Mark took a cup of ice cream from his father's hand. Choose to eat by yourself.


"Oh. Mark wants to eat alone?"


Mark nodded. "eungs. Malk is already papa's big". Jeffrey broke his son's hair.


"alright then. Max's back at the office".


"Good, Master"


...----------------...


Anna Moore returns to the small, modest apartment where she lived for several years. The activity of 'let's find a better job' he has not yet got. Go home with a tummy. This morning he only ate a packet of bread he bought from the minimarket.


Anna opened the cupboard where she stored food. Inside there are only three packs of instant noodles. Anna took one of them. Then prepare a pot for her to cook.


"Mie again.. when can I fill the refrigerator with groceries? Haahh.. I've been cooking nothing but noodles for a long time" his monologue as he raved the noodles that began to soften in the pot.


Ringgg~


The sound of the phone ringing suddenly sounded. Anna reached into the pocket of her jeans in the hope that calling her was one of the places where she applied for work.


A sigh rang out as he stared at the screen of his phone. Jea, her best friend called. Anna lifted it up and pressed the loudspeaker button. He put his cell phone on a small dining table behind him.


"Anna"


"O?" sahut Anna lazily.


"Hey, what's wrong with your voice? Don't like me calling you?" cerocos Jea over there.


"Yes" replied Anna briefly. Anna took the bowl and moved the ripe noodles into it.


"Guh"


"Well, what's wrong, Jeaa?" Anna sat down on the dining table chair after putting her noodle bowl on the table.


"I have some good news for you" he said.


"What good news? Last time you told me the good news was because you found your missing sock".


"Ayolaaah, this time I'm serious"


Anna put a mouthful of noodles in her mouth. "What?"


"What do you mean? Hey are you eating?"


Anna swallowed the noodles she was chewing. "Ck, yeah, what's the good news?"


"I have a job for you, uh, meaning there's a job opening for you. Babysitter..Will you?"


"Babysitters?"


"Yes babysitters. Selection anyway, the rich families of the foundation are also many but these are free. You want to, right? You like kids and you can take care of kids. How's it?"


"Maybe, when?"


"If you look at the ad anyway, tomorrow. There is no certain criteria just to dress neatly, they will select it themselves. Who knows if there's a chance for you, right?"


Anna nodded in understanding, "Alright".


"Okay, continue eating your address I'll send you via SMS"


"eungs. Thanks Jea"


"Well, it's okay if I can take care of the kids I'll go. I remember you were my best friend. oh! look so good of me"


"Ck, yes" Anna continued eating.


"Huum. has".


The conversation over the phone ended.


Well, let's try this one. I might get lucky this time, Anna thought.
