600 Words
"Madam,here is your coffee. She took a sip.
Ha! Now say,um...
Inwardly,I congratulated myself. She spat out the coffee.
"You really don't know how to make a simple coffee." She stood and shouted in my ear."Do you just take money for staring at everyone who passes by? You are so useless.
I looked at her in disbelief.
"Excuse me?"
"Oh! So now this person has hearing problem."Madam,you are a customer and that's why I am respecting you. You can't talk to me like that."
"Oh really. Then how should I talk to you?" she then pushed me back.
"Huh? Tell me."
"Come on,useless person. I don't have time." Again she pushed me.
That's it.
No!
Stop!
You have a job. No!
Forget the job.
The person who had angered me was sitting right in front of me. I took the cake and smashed it on her face. She stood there shocked."Now tell me,madam,who is useless." I said with the same smile I had earlier.
She glared at me before marching in my direction"YOU b***h!!"
I held her hand and pinned it behind her then said"Don't even try that. It's not my fault if your sense of taste is bad." Then I let go of her hand,pushing her forward.
"AAHHH!!" She screamed.
"What happened?" someone said from behind me and I immediately recognized the voice.
Oh no! Manager.
I am in trouble!
I turned around looking down.
"Look what she has done." The woman said indicating her face.
"Lily?" manager said.
"Sir,I didn't want to-" I started but he cut me off.
"What the hell did you do? You don't know how to behave with a customer.
"Sir,she said bad words to me and-" he again cuts me off."That doesn't mean you'll do such an act."
"I am sorry,Sir. I got angry and-"
"You are fired"
"What?" I asked in shock.
"You heard me. You are fired.
"No sir,you can't do that. I am really sorry but-"
"GET OUT NOW." He shouted.
I warned you.
I went in and collected all my things. When I was about to leave I saw the woman smirking at me. It made me more angry.
I am fired right.
Yes! You are.
Good then.
Now you can do whatever the hell you want. I won't stop you.
I marched towards her table and took her coffee that was on the table and threw it on her.
With a smile on my face I said"Have a nice day,madam!!'With that I walked out of the café. I could hear her shouting and the manager apologizing to her. I walked to my house.
Oh my! What am I going to do now? I am jobless.
When I reached home I saw Lucy sitting on the couch holding a paper in her hand. I went to her,kneeling in front of her I took the paper from her hand.
"What is it,Lucy?"
I read the paper."What the heck!!"
"Lily,they want to make a hotel in this property. My son has lost this last thing that I had in gambling. What are we going to do,Lily?"Her son is a drunkard and a gambler. Of course,he always creates problems for us. Lucy has lost everything that she had because of him and now this house was the last thing she had and now this too. I hugged her.
"I promise we'll figure something out,Lucy. I will find a place for us soon."
But the question is how?
I lost my job too.
We only have a week time to empty this house.
I can't see her crying. I have to do something.
