Shinny's Point of View

"Mom? Dad?! No, no this can't be."

"Jayson? Jayson wake up!"

"Is there anyone out there?! Help us!!! PLEASE HELP US!!"

I wipe my tears as the bad memory crossed my mind. *sigh*

Stairing at this graduation picture of mine with the whole family for the nth time this year. How I wish were complete once again.

I'm Shaine Lee Miguel, I've lost my family last year bacause of car accident. It is a tremendous event in my life that keeps haunting me. I believe that it is not a simple accident because it was planned. Although the police closed the case as an accident, I will never give up on finding the truth. I will never stop until I discover who is the man behind the accident.

"Shinny, can you please make me a cup of coffee?"

I stopped from thinking so deeply when I heard the charming voice of my grandma. Yes, I am not alone. I still have my grandma that is why I choice to continue my life. She is the very reason why I'm still breathing today.

"Ofcourse, Grandma. Anyway, good morning to the most beautiful grandma in the world!" I greeted her lively.

"Good morning my favorite granddaughter," she replied.

"I'm your favorite because you only have one granddaughter."

And we both chuckled at the thought.

"By the way, how is your application going?" she asked.

"I don't know how many companies I've applied for but I'm always denied. I can't even count them on ny fingers." I answered her while serving her coffee.

She just smiled to me. Her brown eyes gives me comfort. I hug her and said, "Don't worry grandma, I promise to you that this day I will be having my first ever job."

"I'm sorry, Shinny. This is because of me. The money that your father and mother left you has been wasted because I'm sick." She said with her teary eyes.

"Grandma, don't say that. In fact, if mom and dad are still alive, I'm sure, they will do all the possible things to get you cured. So please, stop blaiming yourself, okay?"

I roam my eyes around and say,

"This small house is no different from the house we used to have before. We sleep, we eat, we do chores, and we make memories.....But don't worry grandma, I will take back our home, I will take back what belongs to our family." I added.

"Oh, it's already 8 oclock, I'll get going grandma, I don't want to be late for my another interview. Goodbye!" and I gave her a peck in the cheecks.

****

"Good God, please send me a blessing today." I murmored while I'm waiting for my name to called for the interview.

The recruitment hub of the company is so gorgeous and looks so modern. It's motif is a combination of colors which gives playful vibes that balance the seriousness of the people who work here.

I'm applying as an accounting staff of the company since I graduated Bachelor of Business and Accountancy Major in Accounting.

"MIGUEL, SHAINE LEE" finally, it's my turn. I pave my way and let out a deep sigh before entering the room.

I saw a man's back. I think He is the one who interviews applicant. I decided to stand at the side and waited for him to finish his talk and offer me to sit. Just for formality since I'm applying and I need also to please the interviewer with my personality so, I think this will do.

"BUT I'M NOT OVER ACTING! DAD, I DON'T WANT TO GET MARRIED!"

Hmmm... So he has a serious problem huh. But I also have a serious problem. More serious than him. Lucky is he for he only face that kind of problem. As for me? I need to take care of my grandma, provide everything in the house. However, I'm not complaining about it.

"I wonder if this room is soundproof?" I murmured.

"And what if its not?" I got shocked when I heard his voice. It seems like powerful and authoritative that everyone should follow and obey his order. I slowly lifted my head to look at him. And there I see him staring blankly at me. I can feel his dark aura in every corner of the room. A while ago I was nervous because I will be in an interview again but now, I'm getting nervous because the man in front of me might eat me alive! Oh good God, please save me, I want to be with my grandma T_T. But in that case, I will be able.to be with my parents and brother again in heaven. I'm not afraid of the death anyway.

"Are you just gonna stand there or you don't want to get interviewed? If that's the case the door is not locked you may leave this room now."

"Ahhh no sir, I'm ready for the interview." I said while panicking a little.

"Have a sit." He said coldly.

Just a while ago he looks like he'll gonna eat me alive but now it feels so cold, its freezing me.

"Okay, so you are Shaine Lee Miguel, tell me something about yourself." he said.

"Good morning sir, I'm Shaine Lee Miguel, 22 years old from ********. I'm a graduate of BS Acoountancy Major in accounting."

"So you are applying for the position accounting staff. Do you have any experience or background in this position?"

"I actually don't have any experience yet, but I believe with my educational background I will be a contribute for the development of your---"

*Ring!-Ring!-Ring*

"Excuse me." he said.

"Yes sir, its okay."

After that He went to another room which I think is another office. And the place where he interview me is the receiving area only.

Sigh* Would I be able to get the job when there's so many interuptions? And why they always ask about experience? I just graduated last year, and this was my first time applying for a job. T_T It's really hard to get hired.

I was in a.middle of thinking when the door from the office opened and he was there standing and looking seriously at me.

"You, come here." he said in a cold voice.

I was hesitant and a bit nervous but I followed what he said because he has this strong aura that I should follow him.

The office is so clean and everything was in proper place. It is a combination of black and white. The room is shouting its elegance and beauty.

"Ms. Miguel"

"Yes sir?"

"Do you have a boyfriend?"

0_0

Am I day dreaming? Is this question related to the job I am applying for?

"I'm dead serious, miss. Do you have a boyfriend? Are you maried? You have kids? Can you please tell me." he said with a tone that even I don't understand what his feeling at the moment. Mixed of emotions but more of he is annoyed.

"Are you listening?" I was shocked when I realized that he is already in front of me and I could smell his masculine fragrance and breath that smells like mint. My knees were trembling because of his presence.

"No sir, I don't have." I managed to answer.

"Good. You are hired...as my wife."
