Last day at work

In a busy tavern filled with chattering sound of drunkard, everyone was either busy chatting among their group or busy with flirting the young female servers of tavern.

A boy hardly twelve years old was busy cleaning the mess on the table caused by some drunkards who just left the area. The boy after noticing that no one was paying him any attention picked up some leftover food from the plate and took a quick bite.

Just as the boy had picked another piece of chopped cucumber from the leftover and was in a hurry to put it in his mouth he mistakenly hit the glass mug from his elbow. The glass mug fell downand broke and pieces along with few remaining droplets of beer scattered.

A hand suddenly grabbed his wrist tightly and voice that shook him to his very core reverberated in his ears like thunder.

" You little brat what do you think you are doing?"

As the little boy, who was none other than Karan lifted his head to see who had grabbed his hand, his legs started shaking uncontrollably just from the single glance at the western face who had grabbed his hand. He knew just by looking at his face that this person was one from the so called " upper class " who despised the poor people of the contry of Essennor and even more so poor people like himself.

Karan was shaking uncontrollably unable to utter a single word due to the angry stare from the man in front of him.

The man shouted at Karan " are u deaf? Do u even know how much this trouser and shoes of mine are worth that u just spoilt."

These series of shouts attracted a lot of attention from the people present but no was willing to meddle in the affairs related to these western citizens. They maintained their distance while feeling bad for this little kid who had mistakenly offended this so called " upper class ".

Many among the crowd were feeling resentful towards these foreigners who were Bossing around in their country, but were too afraid to say anything as this thing was going on for the past two centuries.

Hearing the shout of the angry western citizen the owner of tavern stood up from his counter and saw this foreigner holding the wrist of karan and the sight of Karan shaking.

The owner just from a glance recognised the foreigner as Christopher wight, the brother in law of Matthew Scott the person controlling the town of konta as a whole.

Understanding the situation quickly went towards the western citizen while bending forward submissively said in a humble manner " Mr. Wight please calm down, this kid is dumb and can't speak please show some mercy allow me to apologise on his behalf. Your today's consumption is on the house. Please show some mercy."

The owner of tavern knowing the westerner's temper quickly apologised and concocted a lie about karan being dumb, to save him from the wrath of Mr. Wight.

After hearing these lines from the owner Mr. Wight expression eased a little and he said with a neutral face " Sukh, in the face of our past aquiantance I will let it slide this time but make sure to not to hire such people for work."

Sukh, the tavern owner hearing Mr. Wights replied quickly gave a friendly smile and said " thank you Mr. Wight for your great kindness. Please allow me to leave to lead you to your private room."

Karan saw as Sukh took Mr. Wight away, slowly gathering his senses he understood it was his last day at work in this place.
