Last Chance

Jacob walked hurriedly into his apartment, entering with all the emotions he had been holding back since going out two hours ago and now, it was enough for him to endure something he could no longer endure, namely anger that was ready to detonated.

"Knock ... knock ... knock ..." he knocked roughly on my door. Without having to ask who did it, I knew right away that it must be that selfish and annoying guy.

"Hey, get out! I want to talk to you? " He shouted. I, who was busy relaxing enjoying my idle days, was disturbed by his screams.

"That idiot, what is he doing? Oh… he must want to scold me because I already scribbled that stupid face!” I muttered while munching on the apple I managed to get from the refrigerator after struggling to unlock it.

"Yes, a moment ...!" I said as I opened my bedroom door. Only a few inches when the door opened, my eyes immediately caught the look on his scary face as if he wanted to kill me.

“You really don't have a brain, huh? what do you mean? what?"

"What are you saying? I don’t  understand!"

“Stop playing dumb! I know you're just pretending so I think you're crazy! why are you scribbling my face? " he shouted loudly and to be honest it made me a little scared of him. After all he was a well-built man, if I made his emotions explode, it was not impossible that he would push me out of the window.

“L-listen to me! I don't understand what you're saying at all? I don’t do anything!"

"Still don't want to admit it, huh? you really need to be taught a lesson, huh? " he said while trying to break into my room.

“W-what do you want? what are you doing in my room? " I asked in panic. Especially when Lucien took the suitcase I kept behind the door, opened my unlocked wardrobe and took out all my clothes.

"What are you doing? what do you want to do with my clothes? " I said, trying to reclaim my existing clothes on him.

“You have to get out of here! I no longer want you to stay here!"

“What? are you crazy? how could that be? "

"How can what? I'm fed up with you! not yet a month living with you, i'm almost crazy! so now, you have to go right now!” he said, putting my clothes into the suitcase.

“You can't act like that to me? you promised to share a room with me!”

"Promise? when did i promise you? I let you stay here because I pity to see a bum like you sleeping in front of the apartment. But instead you repay me with this damn nonsense. You have to go!" Lucien forced my suitcase, opened the door and just threw my suitcase at the door.

"Hey, how dare you huh ..."

"What? you wanna kick me again? do you think i will let you do it? hah? go!" harshly, he pulled me out and immediately closed the door.

Shit, I was in shock. "How can he just kick me out? I just got fired and now I have to be kicked out anyway! no, I won't let you do it, damn you!" I thought.

I immediately got up from the slump and took out my secret weapon. Namely shouting at the top of his lungs until he gave up and let me in.

“Jacob, open the door…! you can't throw me out like this? Lucien! you cruel man! how could you throw me out after all i did for you? Jake…! ” I shouted, banging on the door and inviting a commotion.

As I expected, the residents of the apartment started to come out and peek through their doors to see what was going on. They whispered and I hope that idiot Jacob realizes that he is currently the talk of the neighbors.

"Okay, I have to do it more sadly, so that they will be concerned about me!" I thought.

“Hiks … Jake, I don't have anything but you! you promised me that you will always be with me, why are you doing this now? Lucien, I beg you not the door! I love you so much… ” I shouted with crocodile tears which started to make people sympathize with me, as if I was a woman who was dumped by her beloved lover.

Meanwhile, Jacob who was standing behind the door tried to cover his ears. He did not know how long this bad luck would accompany his steps.

“Jake, open the door…! if you don't open it, I'll kill myself and my spirit will haunt you… Jake… Jacob…!" I shouted even more crazy.

And just as I planned, he opened the door. I saw the agony in her eyes and I sympathized for it. However, there is something more important than that little suffering. That is my survival if he throws me out of this apartment.

All eyes were on him, people whispered, accusing Lucien of being a bad, irresponsible man. Maybe, he could feel it from the way they saw it.

"Come in!" he said coldly, making the hairs of my neck goosebumps feeling the terrible aura emanating from his handsome face.

I entered cautiously, afraid that he had prepared something to torment me or even eliminate me from this world. When I stepped my feet, cold wind blew at the base of my neck, making me unable to stop swallowing.

"Blaaammm ..."

Jacob closed the door harshly, making me even more frightened and a little sorry for forcing him to open the door. I couldn't bear to look at his face, as he stepped onto the sofa and sat leisurely in front of me who stood like a defenseless goat before being chased by a jaguar.

"Sit!" He said, just like an arrogant and arbitrary boss.

I was scared and immediately followed his orders to sit on the sofa that was right in front of him. I looked down and felt my cowardice appear the moment I met an extremely strong opponent.

There was silence for two minutes, Jacob still didn't open the conversation or at least asked why I screamed at the door when he threw my suitcase on the floor and just kicked me out.

"Are you human or not?"

“W-what do you mean? of course I'm human! isn't it obvious? "

"Because your brain is like a donkey's brain, do you understand?"

"What? donkey brain? hear ya? don't think because you have a lot of money, then you can treat other people like trash!"

“Tch! you never look in the mirror, huh? is someone like you worthy of being compared to humans? your actions are beyond the limits of a sane person, you know? say casually and forget the mistakes that you have made. All humans have limits, but you just go around breaking those boundaries! your actions cannot be forgiven. If I wanted, I could report your arbitrary actions to taking my belongings to the police. So, you should be grateful I didn't! ”

“What … what can you do after that? I did it too because I had to. I have no place to live and I have no money, so I was forced to take your food. I'll replace it when I get a job!"

"Didn't you already work at the supermarket?"

"I stopped…"

"You must be fired?" admit it!"

“Yes, but it's not what you think! I got injustice because of a woman ... "

“Stop blaming other people! huh ... damn it! why should I be stuck with someone like you! never mind, I'll give you time until you get a job and money. You can stay here!"

“R-really? are you serious?"

"Of course with a condition!"

“Conditions? what conditions?"

“You have to clean the whole room except mine! you understand?"

"Just like that? that is easy!”

"And one more thing, hurry up and find a job and get your feet out of this house!"

"Where should I work? I've sent job applications, but none of them were accepted!”

"Tch, damn it! you are such a pain. All right, I'll give you a job and this will be the last chance you have. If you fail too, you better just sink yourself to the bottom of the sea and never appear in front of me again!”
