I'm Not Trash

"Sorry, Mr. Davis. For now, you still cannot join our company. Maybe next time." For the umpteenth time Bill Davis heard the rejection sentence after a job interview. Though initially he felt quite optimistic, but in the end he was still rejected too.Bill left the company building where he had applied for the job feeling uneasy. This was the thirteenth time he had failed in different places. Surely Miranda, his wife, would not be happy to hear this."What should I tell Miranda?" Bill muttered to himself. Still ringing in his ears were the words his wife had spoken this morning."This is your last chance, Bill. If you get rejected this time too. I really don't know what to do anymore. I don't want to be your cash cow for the rest of my life."Miranda had said that before in a low, calm tone, but it sounded so threatening. It felt like Miranda was really going to dump him if he still failed to get a job this time. Ah, just imagining it Bill couldn't bear it. It felt really horrible if

Three days had passed since Bill was kicked out by Miranda. His first day on the streets, he had to sleep on a park bench because he had no place to stay. On the next day, he joined the queue at the homeless building to get a room, so he also needed to sleep while enduring the cold air again. As for his stomach, Bill had to endure hunger all day, until it was time for the free bread distribution near the bakery he was passing by at the time. "How long do I have to live like this?" Bill grumbled to himself as he ate the peanut butter-filled bread he'd gotten after fighting with the homeless people.Bill felt annoyed with his current situation. Whereas before, he had been determined to prove to everyone if he was not a sampau, but if the situation continued like this, how should he change his fate? In fact, just to fill his stomach he had to wait for bread that was no longer sold."If it continues like this, being successful is just nonsense." Bill grumbled again. He chewed roughly, bu

Bill downed a glass of water, trying to quell the anger that was now flaring up inside him. He realized that he shouldn't get carried away because he saw Miranda with another man after kicking her out. Not only because Joana was present, but also because they were in a public place. Bill didn't want to make a scene that would get Joana into trouble."Are you okay, Bill?" Joana asked when she saw the change in Bill's face."Ah, yes. I'm fine," Bill said as he forced himself to smile at Joana.Joana smiled back and continued eating. She didn't ask any more questions, but in her heart she knew that something was wrong with Bill.Bill also tried not to be bothered, but his table and Miranda's table were close enough that he could hear what his wife was talking about with her mistress."So have you kicked out your useless husband, darling?" asked Miranda's affair man in a tone that sounded so sickening to Bill's ears."Yes, I've kicked him out. Now we don't need to have a secret relationsh

Bill was stunned when he saw Joana handing him many bags of groceries. Joana had said she was going shopping, but Bill didn't expect her to buy things for him."What's this, Jo?" asked Bill as he glanced at the contents of the shopping bags. There were new shoes, belts, and clothes. There was also an expensive watch and perfume that Bill knew cost more than a thousand dollars."If you want to change your fate, then the first thing you have to do is change your appearance." Joana replied."Really?" Bill still seemed hesitant to accept the items because they were all too luxurious."Have you ever heard the wise man's saying? Good shoes will take you to good places. Good looks will also bring you good fortune." Joana explained."Is that so?" Again Bill looked unconvinced. It was enough that he could eat and drink for free here. If he still received other things too, it really felt like he was shameless."Hey, what are you thinking about to make that expression on your face?" Joana asked

After leaving the registry building, Joana didn't want to go straight home. She drove Bill to a place that turned out to be an amusement park."Are you serious about coming here?" Bill asked with some surprise."Yes. You remember when we were kids, we often wanted to go to amusement parks, but we never did." Joana said.Bill was silent for a moment. Memories of their childhood in the orphanage flashed through his head, like a movie playing back."But weren't you adopted by a well-established family after that? There's no way your foster parents never took you to an amusement park, right?" Bill asked."Of course they did. But it would have been different without you," Joana said."You speak as if I were your soul mate, Jo." Bill said.A crunchy laugh immediately came out of Joana's mouth."That's true, too. People who hear it can misunderstand." Joana confirmed with a chuckle. "Never mind, let's go and have fun!"Joana got out of the car excitedly. Bill couldn't help but follow his fri
