SHOT, OLD LADY AND BOSS

SHOT, OLD LADY AND BOSS

The event I'm writing about happened very quickly.

In a day or a night, who will know?

After a long search, I finally found a job in a construction complex. It was a large corporation that was building an apartment block, intended for people who fled their country due to the state of war.

As a beginner, I didn't have a lot of responsibilities at my workplace. I mainly supervised the works and controlled the condition of the construction site. But one evening, with my company, I stayed for a long time in a bar. As I drank a little more alcohol, I walked to my apartment. The next day I woke up with a fever and a high temperature.

The doctor diagnosed pneumonia and sent me home for treatment.

After three months of my illness, that day was the start of my first day at work. It was the beginning of December, nice warm weather for that time of year. . At the end of the city next to the river, the investor has started the construction of six tall solitaires. At the solitaire where I worked, a concrete slab was made on the top floor. It remains to finish the construction of the roof.

On the first floor, there was a waiting room, a reception room, a smoking area, as well as a toilet. I did all the work, everything my boss assigned me. Then strange things started happening! I saw an elderly lady climbing the stairs to the top of the building, I had never noticed her before.

I thought, maybe an inspector inspecting the construction of the building. Almost an hour passed, but she didn't come back. Then I got worried! He might have suicidal intentions if he doesn't intend to jump into the abyss from the terrace of the building. I decided to go upstairs and find her. I climbed the stairs to the top floor and stepped onto the roof terrace.

Likewise, I had something to see! The lady was sunbathing in a bathing suit. "Madam, you must not be here, you might get sick," I told her in a stern voice. "You know now, in the time of COVID-19, it's best to get vitamin D from the sun" best for immunity" he answered me. "Madam, please leave the building immediately" "I don't want to lose my job because of you". "What if my boss comes and sees me with you ?asked her.

With lightning speed, the lady lifts her leg and kicks me in the crotch. I just fell forward and found myself on top of her. She hugged me tightly and said, "Well, now get comfortable and let's get some sun together:"

I began to struggle desperately to free myself from her grip. I just wanted to get away from the sight of the crazy woman as soon as possible. While trying to free me, we heard a loud shot. The blow was strong.

It sounded like thunder or the sound of an airplane breaking the sound barrier. We ran away from the terrace at high speed. I couldn't spot where the lady had disappeared to. When I got down to the first floor, all the workers were already there. Everyone was talking loudly about what happened. Everyone had their version of events. The owner asked us who fired the gun.

Silence. Then all in one voice "none of us" Do any of you have a gun? Did he continue with the question? We answered "no" again. Then he scratched his head and started thinking about what to do next, how to solve that shot. If I were the boss, I would search all the personnel and immediately call the police. The police have ways to solve the case. Our police are the best in the world!

The boss didn't remember that because he was stupid. After completing the firefighting course, he was appointed by his uncle, the Minister of Construction, as the chief solitaire.

Nepotism!

Widespread in my country. We've been used to it for a long time. When he couldn't hear us, we called him "Course man" as a man who completed the firefighting course. He did not have the university education necessary to manage the construction of the solitaire. He was supposed to be a civil engineer.

But. Suddenly, a man from the neighboring solitaire ran into our room and told us that their director had a son this morning. And that he was shooting at buildings out of happiness, which is a custom in my country.

That's how our boss solved all his dilemmas about the shooting. He was very happy that the case was solved. I was also happy because no one found me with the lady on the roof. That night, when I went to sleep, I couldn't fall asleep quickly. I could still smell the sunscreen of the unknown lady I was lying with on the roof of the solitaire.

My God, I wondered what dream you would bring me tonight, what story would I have for tomorrow?

Goodnight.
