The Luckiest Man alive
“Peter is not here yet, right?” a group of people looks around to see if the person they are referring to is around. “Nope, he’s not here. And why would he come here in the first place? None of you idiots did not even left a note that tells him to come here.” They all look at each other after their leader gave them a scolding. “I thought he is the one responsible for that.” They all started pointing their fingers at each other which greatly annoyed their leader and smack their heads one by one.
BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM!
“You are all idiots! Fine! Its one me! I will do it on my own!” he yells and walks grumpily away from the group. “That really hurt a lot. Why did the boss have to hit us that hard?” “I think I got a bump- ow!” “Stop whining. This is our punishment and we should just accept that we screw up sometimes.” His comrades looks at him with blank expressions and broke it for him. “Don’t we screw up all the time? That is what I always remember though- kruk!” their senior strangles him and whispered to his ears. “Why don’t you just let him be like that just for now? Can’t you read the atmosphere? He wants to be cool so just let him be for now and be supportive.” He immediately nod his head in agreement and his senior pat his head.
“Good.” He said with a smile. “I thought I was going to kick the bucket there.” He thinks to himself as he touches his neck and ask the others if they can see any marks.
“Good riddance. Why am I stuck with these guys? A bunch of idiots. I always told them to do what I ordered immediately before they forget what my order is.” He said to himself as he walks back and saw Peter walking across the street while talking to his friend. “Look what we have here. I thought I was going to walk all the way there just to tell him but it looks like fate is on my side after all.” A smile crept on his face. “Peter Herring! Come here you bastard-!” BANG! “Ouch!” “Tone done young man. Are you a barbarian or something?”
An old man smack his head with a broom the moment he open his mouth and yelled Peter’s name. “Sorry about that.” He looks at the old man’s house and saw that the old man’s partner is still sleeping and walks away in that instant. “Peter-“ BAM!” after the second slap of broom, he looks around and saw that it was the same old man. “What the heck is this about?! I thought your house is on that part?!” BAM!
“What do you mean my house? This is a home for the aged! You are disturbing all the old people that are trying to live their lives in peace!” the man is too stunned to speak after thinking that it was an ordinary house of an old couple. “What in the world did I eat to be this unlucky?” he thinks to himself while the old man still continues to nag him about being so loud.
“Peter. Do you know that man?” Bun asked as he points at the man getting nagged by an elderly man. “I don’t know him- wait. I think I recognize him from somewhere. Wow- I think that is the man that got his purse got nabbed away a few days ago.” Peter said after he finally remembers that man. “What? His purse got stolen?” Peter nod his head. “Remember the time when I asked you to come with me to buy the limited edition carving by the great Karlo? He was in front of me at that time and there was a single carving left, I thought I was not going to get the last carving since I don’t have enough money, luckily I found a coin sitting beside the alley, it was then that he was about to buy the carving that his purse got stolen.”
Bun can already imagine the disappointment of that man when he was not able to buy the thing that he wanted. “Well, he must have gotten really unlucky to have his purse got stolen from him.” Bun muttered and Peter agrees immediately. “But you know what Peter, i think you just got lucky. I mean, every time we hang out together. Whenever you need something, it will be given to you, regardless of what form it is. And it really got me thinking, does the heavens find you valuable?” Bun thinks to himself as they continue to walking. “We need to hurry, the guild master would be really pissed if we are late for the announcement.” Peter said with an excited tone.
Almost half an hour later.
“Persistent old man. Why do all of the other elderly people have to wake up at the same time? What a hustle.” He said to himself and then slap his face when he remembers that his goal is to find Peter. “Goddarn it!” BAM! “Ow!” the old man nagged him again after screaming and waking up all the other elderly people inside the nursing home. He is then forced to do something about it again.
“Where do you think the boss is? Its almost been an hour now.” His henchmen were still waiting for him.
