6 . . . . . .
It was the twenty-seventh march and I could not take it anymore. I’ve had enough of his bossing around. He treats me like his dog.
Just like him, I am human. It was that very same day that I realized that my boss was the biggest chauvinistic pig ever. Because of all his money, he walked with his nose in the air and bossed everyone around. No one ever stood up to him because, our jobs had meant the world to us, our poverty stricken lives made us desperate and because jobs were so scarce. But that day I finally decided, to hell with his work. I could no longer take it. I was not prepared to be anyone’s dog anymore. So the very next day I handed in my resignation form. It was a week later and after all I had done for him, he did not even phone to ask if I would please come back, but then again with the amount of pride he had, it was no surprise. I have humiliated him in public and spoiled his name completely. I even reported him to the daily newspaper and had done everything in my power to put him to shame. People mocked at him and looked at him in disgust. I succeeded in bringing him down.
Not realizing that later I would need him the most!
It was a month later and I had still not found any means of earning a living. My daughter had been waiting for her dream wedding to happen. I had been saving all my life for that day and I was very close to getting that amount, but unfortunately my arrogant boss had drove me to my resignation. My daughter had meant the most to me and I would do anything to see her happy. Ever since she was a child I had watched her plan and draw every detail of her dream day. I did not want to disappoint my angel daughter, so I plucked up my courage and swallowed my pride and went to go ask my ex-boss for a loan. I begged and pleaded. I had no one else and needed his help desperately. My wife had earned just enough to put a little food on the table.
After everything I had done, he had given me the loan, after everything I had said about him, he forgave me! This had made me realize that everyone has to work hard if they want to be big someday. I had no idea on how to repay him, so he had given me my job back and changed his habits towards his staff. I was also promoted and got a better salary.
