Chapter Two

EROS' POV

I have been working since morning and if I say I aren't tired then I am a freaking liar. I even forgot to take a lunch break and as soon as I remembered it my stomach growled. I shut down my laptop and checked the time and it was past 9pm. I came out of the lobby, it was empty and dark as usual. I left and went down to the garage got into my car and zoomed off.

As soon as I got home it was 10pm already and all the lights has been turned off. I turned on the light and saw my dinner carefully covered on the dining table with a note stating "heat up and eat whenever you come back". I guess it was from my mum. I think she has gotten fed up of always waiting for me to come back home so that she can serve me dinner.

I took the food, placed it in the micro wave and when it tinged, I brought it out and sat down at the dining and started having my dinner. This has always been my routine everyday since I started working at the Eros Corporation and I kind of like it like that.

After my dinner, I went up, washed off and layed on my bed and within minutes I was out.

The next morning after having my bath and preparing for work I came downstairs. I checked the time and it was already 7:30am. I hurried downstairs and went to the dining and my mum and dad were already seated and Aunt Alice our cook for over thirty years was serving the breakfast.

I sat down and greeted my mum and dad but they didn't respond. "Mum, Dad is there any problem?" I asked

My mum just looked at me and ignored me. Okay that's new, I was really baffled. "Dad did you offend your wife last night maybe you didn't satisfy her enough" I joked

"Actually I am the one that is really dissatisfied with you at the moment so don't even get on my nerves" my mum replied angrily.

"Mum I really don't understand what is going on can you atleast enlighten me on why you are angry with me this early morning" I told her.

My dad just kept quiet all this while and I was expecting him to help me out here atleast, bros before hoes right, I thought to myself. Instead the man casually started sipping his coffee.

Since no one was saying anything or telling me what was really going on and I could clearly see my mum brooding so I decided to let them be and have their breakfast alone.

"I don't understand what is going on here so I better have my breakfast on my way to work" I said while standing up to leave.

My mum sighed and started crying. Jesus Christ what a fake drama queen I thought in my mind.

"Okay that's it young man get your ass on that seat " my dad shouted at me. Actually my mum has my dad wrapped around her fingers, he basically does everything she says even before she thinks it.

Then I looked at my mum and she gave me a hideous smile that gave me the creeps.

"You see husbands and wives always gets their spouses backs in whatever situation and you my dear son has no one at your side" She said while sticking out her tongue at me.

Sometimes I just wander if she is my mum or if there is actually a five years old in her body.

"So what's your point mum " I asked her. She gave me a bright smile and relaxed on her chair.

"It's high time you got married" she threw the bomb at me. "What?" I shouted, my eyes almost about to pop out of their sockets.

"I'm just 26 mum, I haven't even started my life yet" I replied grumpily.

" You know you cannot win me on this" She said smirking. I stood up and picked up my work bag.

" I just lost my appetite thanks for breakfast mum" I said and I made sure to emphasize on the "breakfast mum" and left angrily.
