(lance pov)
Its another day again for work, another day that I’m missing my family… I’m alone for more than 10 years. I was six when my parents die and my brother got missing. My aunt bring me to their home and she take care of me, he made me go to school but unfortunately my Aunt got an illness after I graduate in high school that’s why I stopped going to college and find a job but no one accept me, until there’s a person who I’ve saved from danger an he offered me a job in his café, he still young but I grab the opportunity because I need worked that time, to buy the medicine of my Aunt, but after a week my Aunt passed away… Now my only goal is to find my brother but I don’t know where would I start because I don’t have enough money to travel and where should I start, my boss or should I say my best friend offer me money to find my brother I refused it because I don’t want to burden him for that. So, got up from my bed and do my morning rituals, I ate breakfast and grab my bag and go out to my house. I take the bus and go to my destination. When I get there, I greeted the guard a good morning and go directly to the dressing room to change my clothes into my work clothes, after that I go to the working section and greeted them, I go to my best friend office and greeted him a good morning.
“morning buds” I said to him
“hey morning!” he replied. I seat on the couch since its not the time for opening of the café so we chitchat.
“lance where you will going to have a girlfriend, you’re not getting younger dude!!!” he said to me.
“I don’t have a time for that I want to find my brother first before committing a relationship.” I said to him
“but I’m offering you a help but you kept on rejecting it!” he said to me.
“but I don’t want to bother you for that its enough that you helped me to have a job in this café. I can earn it and find my brother.!” I explained it to him why I don’t want to burden him.
“we’re friends… I know your pain, I know your suffering but you keeping it for yourself.!!!” He said a little bit angry.
“I know… but please I want to do it by myself now if I still can’t make it till the end of this year, you can help me.” I said to him
“if that time will come you need to obey me no objection? Do you understand?” he said to me.
“yes boss!!!” I said to him teasingly, because he doesn’t like it when I call him boss even the others worker he doesn’t want it to call him like that because he always says ‘I’M NOT AN OLD MAN’ and I hurriedly go out to his office and I’ve still hear him shouting at me…
“CALL ME BOSS AGAIN!!! I SWEAR I’LL GONNA SMACK YOU IN HEAD LANCE ADRIAN!!!” he shouts it to me, even the other workers laugh because of my silliness to our boss, early in the morning… all of us here we treat ourselves as a family so we really close to each other. Our café has a lot of branches so it is a successful business of my best friend that he inherits of his late parents, he has a sister but she is in France right now. After an hour we open our café and we started working. There are always a lot of costumer here in our café and they say that I’m the lucky charm in this café… most of our customer is students, office worker or sometimes a group of people who wants to come and try our dishes in our coffee. We served them all day and its exhausting me I said a bid goodbye to them.
“bye BOSS and bye guys see you tomorrow.!!!” I said to them and run away to my anger boss
“you!!!” my best friend said. And my co- workers laugh at us. They know what is my problem, they lend me a help but I refuse it. I go home and eat my dinner and go to bed. I looked up in the ceiling. I hope one day if I can’t find brother, I hope there are person who will help me to find him because I miss him very much. And a tear running through my face, yes, I laugh I made a joke but when I’m home I’m hurting and hoping that I’ll find you soon.
