Love In A Coma

“You must be very silly for saying that to me!” Jayden yelled, his voice echoing throughout the hotel lounge, Everyother concierge at the lounge at that time stood in intense silence with their heads bowed, they all knew better than to try to refuse the Jayden Dela Cruz Request, for something as low as hotel policies. As shocking and as surprising as that sounds that was how things worked over there because Jayden’s cousin and best friend actually owned the hotel, so he was more like a boss there too. Funny, but true!Jayden was the only son to the Dela Cruz family and apparently the heir to all of the family’s assets and businesses.After his father died, his mother could not bring herself to just handover all the properties to him, unlike most sons of her friends and business partners, Jayden was quite irresponsible and he knew absolutely nothing about any of the family business.His mother, Gina actually wanted him to take over the company, stop frolicking around town with differe

Minutes later …The subtle sound of the burning of dried twigs and leaves, echoed alongside the rhythmic sounds of crickets in the bush, the rhythm they produced were actually quite slow and solemn, like they were aware of the catastrophe that had just taken place there.“Arghh!” Jayden muttered lightly as he supported his body with his elbow and gently pushed himself out of the car, he kept groaning, muttering words of prayers, which he never offered before, as he gently crawled out of the car.Just as soon as he crawled a few feet away from the car, it went off just like a time bomb, the whole car erupting in flames.A tiny tear dropped from Jayden’s eyes as he had a quick moment of reflection, seeing that he escaped death by an hair’s breadth shook him further.He was totally weak, coupled with the alcohol and all of the batter and bruise he had on his body, he was completely sucked out of energy, he gently crawled to a safe distance, gently laid back on the floor and gave into unc

“I had a fight with my mother yesterday’s evening, she threatened to disown me if I walked out of the house,”“I thought it was a joke, so I left, I was so angry I had a few drinks with my cousin and I got drunk”“I got into an accident on my way home yesterday, I thought I had died but thankfully I woke up this morning,”“I found my way back home, and realized that my mom actually disowned me, she wasn’t joking when she threatened to disown me,”“When I saw her this morning, she looked at me with so much disdain and said she wanted to have nothing to do with me,” Jayden paused as he slowly looked up at Gabriella and Jessica.“I don’t have anywhere to go, My cousin too has decided to join her in this and I have no family apart from them!” He concluded.“No friends too?!” Jessica asked and he shook his head.“I don’t have any friends,” he replied.“Well with your character, I’d be surprised if you had any friend” Gabriella muttered rolling her eyes as she sat back in her seat.“Wait,”

“What took you so long to answer?! You think this is your father’s house and you can just behave anyhow?!” Gabriella asked with a sneer as he walked out of his room.“Won’t I get changed Atleast?” he replied and she rolled her eyes at him.“Won’t I get changed atleast,” she mimicked angrily as she shoved the laundry basket in his hands.“Relax! Why are you always angry?” he muttered but loud enough for her to hear as they walked out of the house.“I don’t know what’s wrong with your family members, why they’re always angry,” she retorted and he chuckled lightly as they walked towards the washing area.***“Arghh, what sort of human is this!” Gabriella sighed angrily as she slowly stood up straight and placed her thumb and index finger on her forehead, using the other three fingers to cover her face frustratingly.“What did I do again?!” Jayden muttered,looking up up at her. His clothes were entirely soaked in water like he was just coming beaten by a really heavy rain.“What have you

7:00am, Next Morning …..“Congratulations! You can start as soon as possible,” Matthew, the new employer said to them with a small smile, Gabriella’s eye shone in excited as she heaved a sigh of relief. Luckily the first coffee shop Jessica recommended were really short on staff and so it wasn’t so difficult for them to get employed.“Thank you sir, thank you so much sir” Gabriella gushed as she stepped forward and with a grateful smile, elbowed Jayden beside her who just stood with his hands behind him, like he was lost somewhere, far away from where they were right now.He jumped slightly and looked up at Matthew,”Thank you for giving us this opportunity, we promise not to disappoint,” “That’s okay, let me show you to your duty post” Matthew said and led them out of the office.****1:00pm that Afternoon ….Jayden exhaled deeply rubbing his forehead with the back of his hand.“How hard can working in a coffee shop be?!” He had thought when he was about to start, now five hours i
