Unlucky day

Irene was holding back the money she has accumulated for a year as a result of her hard work but she has to give up her precious savings just so she can buy the latest exorbitant cellphone.

"Sorry miss, you have to release the money to make the payment." The shopkeeper woman was seen clenching her teeth while trying to keep a friendly smile and trying to pull the money out of Irene's restrained hand.

"There isn't a discount, is here?" Irene was still trying to compromise, at least leave five cents for her to go home by bus but the shopkeeper girl shook her head making Irene forced to give up the money.

"Thank you for coming to our shop, we will inform you if there are new products released again..."

Irene tried to smile even though her face felt stiff. Oh come on, she just received her exorbitant cell phone and the shopkeeper was already talking about another product coming out? They're crazy!

Luckily Irene still has some common sense because she didn't sell her organs to get the cellphone that is now in her hands even though she had to grumble like a crazy woman. After all, she didn't have a penny to even get on the bus.

Take a walk in the late afternoon and hopefully, it won't rain.

Ok… She shouldn't have hoped so because the rain suddenly came down very hard making her clothes wet but as much as possible Irene tried to protect her cellphone from the rain even though she said the cellphone she bought was waterproof but still this cellphone is too valuable for Irene to take the risk that she might sell her organs if her new cellphone breaks.

"How long do I have to stay here?"

Because she had to walk So Irene chose to cut the road into the forest, if it wasn't raining then she would have arrived at her house but it was raining very hard.

Irene looked up at the dark sky not only because of the overcast clouds but indeed the day of Sudan at night and unfortunately, she was trapped.

"Let's hope there aren't any beasts!"

Looks like the universe hates her because she just prayed but a second later she heard a wolf howl which scared her moreover she couldn't climb a tree in case the wolf approached her and her precious cellphone…

Irene sighed, now she doesn't care if the wolf comes as long as her new cellphone isn't damaged.

Not wanting to take the risk, Irene finally chose to break through the rain, she just needed to follow a grassless road for sure she would find a way out but on the way, she heard the howling of a dog getting closer along with the sound of a wolf.

Irene turned her head and a large husky dog ​​ran towards her, followed by three wolves chasing her from behind. The dog hid behind her body and the hungry wolves stared at her as if she were their prey.

Irene tried to fight the wolves with whatever object she found nearby until finally there was nothing but wet grass and brittle twigs but then she looked at her new cellphone, saw it with a grimace before finally throwing it at the wolves and hitting one of them. them until they all run away.

"My precious new cellphone…" Irene could only whimper after opening her cell phone case and her cellphone was already broken. "Even though I haven't worn it yet..." Irene cried in annoyance, she then turned to the big dog that had been hiding behind her for a long time.

"Just watch I will sell you to replace my broken new cellphone!"

Irene then took the dirty husky dog ​​to the basement where she lived and hopefully the basement owner doesn't see her bringing a dog or she will be kicked out of the tiny place with very cheap rent.

"Don't look at me like that, you are not cute at all! Wait until tomorrow I will sell you!" Irene said as she took off her clothes one by one in front of the dog and stepped into the bathroom but she came back out of the bathroom and decided to take the dog to bathe with her.

"Don't get me wrong, okay, I don't want to keep you… I'm bathing you to make it easier to sell you tomorrow." Again Irene continued to talk to the white mixed with a gray dog. They are soaking in the same bathtub with a size that is not too big.

"It's so annoying, why do I have to have an unlucky day today? Among all the days why does it have to be the day when I buy a new cellphone?" Once again Irene hugged, she leaned her body against the tub and straightened herself back up quickly.

"This is all your fault, you bastard!" Apart from swearing, there was nothing Irene could do to vent her frustration.

But the look in the dog's eyes looked different, and Irene suddenly felt embarrassed and turned the dog to turn its back on her and started bathing him.

"How can an expensive dog like you enter the jungle? Tiffany had of the same breed as you, should I take you and show you off to everyone tomorrow?" Irene spoke again, she realized she was talking a lot now because usually, she was always alone and sometimes sang in a discordant tone to overcome her boredom. Irene still had parents but she chooses to live alone because her drunk father likes to beat her mother but her mother never wants to leave him and sometimes takes her frustration her, being poor and having a disorganized family is a reality that Irene wants to cover up in her life.

Irene then turned to the mirror, blinked a few times because she saw her reflection with a man in the bath even though there was only her and the big dog in front of her but Irene who logically chose to shake her head and threw a towel over the mirror to block her view.

"I'm so angry that it's driving me crazy!" Irene said while looking at the dog. "You're adorable but I have to sell you tomorrow for that cellphone. It's your fate, Garry..." Irene fell silent again, loneliness seemed to make her unconsciously give the dog a name.

"So fresh... Look at this beautiful face, you are too beautiful to be a poor woman..." Irene said as she looked at her face in the mirror and put toner on her face, the price of toner is very expensive equivalent to a month's salary but her beauty needs her to keep her always looking like a rich young lady.

"Look what I got on the black market yesterday." Irene then stepped into her shopping bag and saw a beautiful French designer dress and vintage style clothes which she bought at very cheap prices because they were secondhand but branded clothes, she had to fight with many people when the clothes arrived at the port.

"Fortunately nothing was damaged, I just need to wash it so I can wear it tomorrow. Vintage style never fails."

Irene then returned to the bathroom, she washed her clothes and dried them then returned to her room which was also her place to do everything because there was no other room but she canceled her desire to sleep because she saw the husky dog ​​look cold because his fur is still wet. Couldn't bear it, Irene then dried his fur before finally falling asleep hugging the dog.

Right in the middle of the night, the dog turned into a human, a handsome man with jet black hair and sharp gray eyes, he stared at the woman who kept talking to herself.

"Of all the women in this world, why should you? You're not my type at all!"
