Throw Your Ex-Lovers On The Trash Can

City X

The next day

A light shone through the gap in the window and hit my face. It made my body squirm uncomfortably. I moved my eyelids which were still closed. Then I blinked for a moment before my eyes finally opened completely with my arms spread wide and yawned shamelessly like a roaring lion.

Hoam!

After yawning freely, I got out of the bed and walked towards the bathroom. Yes, the damp all-white tiled room was my go-to.

My schedule for today was quite busy because there would be a meeting with a business partner and Eros.

Checklek!

Blam!

When I entered my bathroom, the first thing I saw, was a medium sized mirror. I saw my own reflection on the mirror, a man with charcoal black irises. I had beautiful iris, which were similar to the beautiful woman who brought me into the world.

Yes, that was what I saw.

Although actually the man in the mirror looked a mess with his droopy eyes typical of someone after waking up. But strangely it didn't reduce his good looks and instead he looked even more handsome?

Ok, I was just kidding. Let us forget that one. I was afraid that later there would be a lizard in my apartment, which would convulse and die instantly, because of my narcissism.

Back to my ritual in the bathroom, I took a toothbrush with lazy movements. I added a tip of toothpaste on top of the white brush. I brushed my teeth with my other hand busy massaging the back of my neck that felt hurt.

My neck felt hurt, maybe because I just slept in the early morning. I couldn't sleep because I couldn't stand to see the state of my own room, which was the same as the living room in my apartment. It was a mess.

Zoya was really too much. She succeeded in making me unable to rest right away with her behavior which really annoyed me.

After finishing with the ritual of brushing my teeth, I stepped my feet to walk towards the shower and immediately stood under it after taking off all my clothes. Under the cold shower, my mind was busy contemplating fate.

The journey of my life was through many kinds of events. Starting from the fun, the sad and even the very unpleasant one was there.

If you thought that I was a perfect man because I had a handsome face and an established career, then you were wrong. The truth was I was not perfect.

Skip

The bath ritual was over. I got out of the bathroom and walked casually to the walkin closet with a towel hanging on my hips, and hands rubbing my half-wet hair.

Every now and then I stretch my neck, while choosing a shirt that hung and lined up neatly in front of me. The color of the shirts that I had, was mostly dark color. Among them were black, navy, gray and dark red. The gloomy colors matched with my days that were getting gloomy.

The only bright colored shirts I had, were white and sky blue. Outside of that color, I had absolutely none.

Today's shirt choice was gray, with a suit of a matching color. I immediately put it on, while walking to another place.

The clock on the wall in the room was already past seven, which meant I still had about an hour left. That was enough time for me to call the apartment to pick up the trash bags from last night's cleaning before I left for work.

While waiting, I made a cup of black coffee in my minimalist kitchen, which unfortunately became also the target of Zoya's anger last night. I think Zoya was really angry with what happened yesterday afternoon, that she took it out by messing up the contents of the apartment instead of getting angry at slamming me.

Oh, of course, it was all because she knew that I didn't like messy rooms.

Ok, never mind. I didn't want to go back to swearing irritated, because I had less time to rest last night.

The distinctive aroma of the coffee I made began to waft, making me unconsciously inhale it deeply. I really liked this black drink, even though coffee wasn't my only favorite drink. But still, coffee was the first choice to accompany me in the morning.

Ting! Tong!

I think it was the apartment janitor. Immediately, I put the cup on the table and walked to open the door. Before opening it, I peeked a little in the peephole of the door to see really who was coming.

Ah! I was right. It was a man in the typical cleaning uniform of this apartment. Reaching out my right hand, I flung open the apartment door and nodded back when he said his greetings.

"Good morning, Sir. Can I help you?" said the officer.

"Hmm. Inside there are several trash bags, can you take them to the dump? Actually, it doesn't contain all garbage, but there are some things that are still good but I don't use them anymore." I explained to the officer briefly while pointing at the balcony door, where I had intentionally placed three trash bags.

There was a saying, throw the garbage in its place and I was doing it. But it was not trash, it was my ex belongings that she didn't bring with her.

I didn't care if she came and asked where the rest of her belongings were.

Who's fault to piss me off and messed up the whole room in this apartment.

"All right, I'll take them all, Sir," replied the officer obediently with a friendly tone and nodded his head.

"Hmm." I muttered and leaned over my body, giving the officer access to my apartment.

Before entering he took off his shoes and placed them neatly next to the outside door of the apartment. Then entered and walked towards the balcony door as I pointed. It didn't take long for him to haul three trash bags from the balcony to the exit. It took only five minutes and he was back at the door, wearing his shoes.

"Do you still need any help, Sir?" asked the friendly officer.

I answered him with a slow shake of my head.

"Hm. Nothing, thank you," I replied and he nodded in understanding, then said goodbye to me who was about to close the door.

"Then I will excuse, Sir," said the officer before I actually closed the door.

"Hmm."

Blam!

"Ok, what time is it now? " I mumbled and found that the clock on the wall was seven o'clock.

I should quickly finish my coffee and go to the meeting place. I didn't want to be late and ended up with Eros teasing me all out.

But that would not going to happen. Because of what? Because I knew that he was not someone who liked to waste time, by coming outside the allotted time.

Seriously, I got to pat myself on the forehead, when I remembered this fact. He said clearly that time was something precious. I knew that very well, at first I wanted to pat him proudly on the shoulder. But all changed, as he explained his remarks about timing which were annoying to me.

"So, if we have a lot of time before the predetermined time comes, why don't we use it by doing other useful things. For example, relax while playing new online games or stalking instakilo your favorite artist, hah. Am I right?"

And I could only growl in annoyance to restrain myself from making a mistake at that moment. I wanted to curse my own friend, with cursing at the zoo and its contents, but unfortunately I was afraid that it would added my sin.

Just kidding... Besides, I knew it was all just a joke.

All right... Time to go to work.
