Chapter 1 : Promotion

Today is a special day dated Oct. 10, 2020.

So I dressed nicely before going to work.

I was wearing my newly bought formal blue shirt.

The company that I am working with is a 2 minutes walk way distance from my apartment.

While walking I can smell the sweet scent of roses from the new flowershop besides the big church of St. Teresita. I can sight a pretty  lady with long curly hair buying some pink roses and wearing a formal work attire. Every morning, she was buying roses and i am always looking at her from far away.

The weather today seems fair. Sky is clear and seems like snow will fall soon.

On the front glass of our company door, i can see my handsome appearance. Being a man with white skin, pointed nose, thin muscular body and slanted eye that can attract lots of ladies.

I worked here at Sat B as a software Engineer with 29 teams of Engineer.

Today I was expecting for my promotion approval being submitted by my Sypervisor. That's why i was too active today and I'm  showing formality in my voice.

Actually 2 of us were expected for promotion. Mike and I who shows excellence in our work in our team.

After 8 hours of working, i was called by my Supervisor on a conference area.

"Math, i want to tell you something."Mr. Harold said.

"Yes, Sir.What it is? "I replied with a smile because i think it was the approval that I am waiting for.

"I'm sorry. Mr. Yaki rejected your promotion approval. I was also disappointed because your almost 2 years in our company and you did great."He sadly said to me.

I honestly felt bad about his words.So i just accepted the fact that the main boss doesn't trust my capacity. I also understand that I wasn't so close to our main boss and even if I am good at work, he won't advance me to the next position...

Despair about what happened, i decided to go to church after work.

I prayed that still i believe that God will soon one day help me to make my dreams come true. To have a job in a high position and to have my worth keeping woman of all time.

Honestly, I was also unhappy in my currently  status. I am in my 26 but still single. I had my dream woman but was already married by someone.

I was totally lost and felt so unlucky.

While walking, i heard two women talking that there was a woman being accidentally hit by a fast running car. The two were pointing on the highway near the flowershop on my company. Potentially the pretty woman that always buy roses is the one being hit.

I went outside the church and decided to sit on the near pinkish bench on the front of the church.

I closed my eyes for 2 minutes and started to reminiscence my childhood memory that i was a kid with lots of achievements but now it seems like nothing at all. I am a worthless guy.

Because I am alone, I started to cry liked a weak man.

I cried until a pretty woman in a short bobcut hair with pink floral dress in a high heeled shoes appeared infront of me.

"Please don't cry... Don't get jealous for not having what you can't have right now. Life isn't perfect anyway. If you can't have it then someone can make it happen for you."She said silently.

I looked closely into her face. She seems like a ghost because of her glowing skin and different tone of voice.

"I am Genei. I can grant you 3 wishes. Ah, 3 is few, 7 wishes."She said.

"A genei? Not in the bottle.Am I getting depressed or crazy? I said as i touched my whole head.

"I am real. "I'm Genei. I mean I am a Genei. Your Genei."She said.

"If your a Genei, how can I make a wish? " I asked.

"It's easy. Just say what you want from your heart and then kiss me on my lips."She said seriously that gives me goose bumps.

I stared to her lovely face and tried to think that a strange ghost is playing with me.

"Are you from evil forces? "I asked as I looked into her charming appearance.

"I am not. I believe in God, angles and Jesus like you. As a matter of fact, Jesus allowed me to grant you wishes."She said.

"Okay. Since there is no harm in trying.Let me try a 1 wish."I said while thinking.

"I want to be promoted in a very high position."I said to her.

"Master, your wish is granted." She said as she kisses me for the first time in front of the church.

The feeling is so warm and gentle.

Is it the feeling of kissing a human too? I asked myself as our both lips sucked each others side. Am I dreaming? It was honestly my first time to kiss a woman.

My watch suddenly stopped and the woman disappeared.

"Maybe i am crazy." I silently said as i walk down the road going to my dorm.

My phone starts to ring, Sir Yaki, our main boss, is calling.

"Prepare a nice speech for tomorrow. You will jump into a Supervisory position.You are too lucky."He said to me.

I was shocked, I am promoted into a high position.I means my wish just come true. The Genei is true. So i immediately returned back into the church to thank her and to get the ghost, so that nobody will be her master except from me.

I didn't see her on the place. On next day. I am now a Supervisor. I no longer have a Supervisor. My Supervisor now and me are on same level.

"I didn't expect that Sir Yaki has a big plan for you aftrr rejecting my approval of level 2 position. I tooked 8 years to be in this position but you just took this for 2 years." My ex Supervisor said in a jealous tone.

"Well, my luck just came quickly."I replied with confidence.

I'd never lost hope. I returned again into the church. I can't see the pretty ghost. I felt tired so I sit into the pink bench.

I had an increase of salary but i want more and it was more money. I want to be rich.

"I wish to be rich. To be richer than the rich."

I silently said.

Then suddenly, from a smoke Genei appeared.

She smells like a rose. A fresh rose for a living person.

"Your wish is my command." She said as she kisses me again while holding my cheeks.

I suddenly notice that her hair grows a little.

I closed my eyes as I believe that I'll be soon rich.
