6. New Employee - CreaGo

Now all I could think about was how to tell Zetta. She's a typical possessive friend who gets hurt easily when it comes to secrets like this. She doesn't know at all! I deliberately didn't tell her, so for the six months I was in bed- resting at home, I just said I was busy working.

Today, I decided to end the confusion. I wanted to tell Zetta today, after all now I could walk normally, no more pain.

I dialed the number of my number one friend. The smart, beautiful, and talented student. She has just realized her new talent. She is good at singing, her beautiful face also made her flooded with jobs as an advertising model.

"Em... Finally, you remember me too!" She said with a snort. I chuckled.

"Hellow, my best friend till the end of the world." I greeted them in a cheerful tone.

"Let's see... where have you been, how come you can remember, that you still have friends?"

"Ish... don't say that. Let's meet up, babe!" I invited her directly to the main destination.

"Sure, I'm at the cafe in front of campus. There's Rama too, is that okay? I have a job in the city tomorrow, so it's better if you want to meet now."

"Oh.. okay. I'll be there!" I said and immediately left the room. I asked my mom's permission and headed to the location. Rama is Zetta's eldest brother, as far as I knew he had graduated from college, maybe he is working now. Honestly, I rarely met him, all this time. Although Zetta's mother said, when Zetta and I were in junior high school, Rama often picked us up from school.

I arrived within an hour. Yes... understand, it's the worst traffic jam ever!

"Hehehe... sorry. Traffic jam bebs!" I grinned. In front of my best friend is a lot of food and some drinks. Rama is still as charming as I remembered. I smiled in greeting.

"How are you?"

"Fine, thank God," he replied politely. Yes...he is more pious and polite than Zetta. His way of speaking is also not as crazy as ours. He used polite words rather than swearing, which we use as our daily live language, me and Zetta I mean.

"What's wrong, suddenly remember me? You're a career woman now? Too busy to call?" Zetta asked sarcastically.

I chuckled again, scratching my hair that I'd tied up carelessly. 

"I want a confession. Heheheh."

"Confession for a good six months of your disappearing to the where the hell, so?" She asked rudely again.

I nodded, grimacing. This is how scary my best friend is.

"Where? Don't tell me you're married first! We agreed not to waste our young age in marriage!"

"Not really. Hehehe... I got into an accident, six months bed rest for recovery." I said quickly.

"Heh! What?" she squealed, even Rama is equally surprised.

"How come? What about you Li?" Rama is also worried.

I smiled a little, "It's... Well, I am healthy like before. Although there is a long and wide scar from my waist to the nape." I touched the outside of the scar. It is a scar that still tingled a little when pressed.

Zetta stood up, and she examined it herself with her hands. She felt the scar from the outside. It isn't difficult, because the scar is quite bad. It's uneven! So yes, my skin in that area is like a highway that is passed by stone trucks every day and not renovated at all.

Instead of getting sympathy and prayers, I got beaten up.

"So why are you telling me this now!! Oh my God! ... why is my friend like her anyway!" Shout to Zetta who is now hysterical.

"Well, don't cry. I'm already fine. That's why I'm telling you now, I'm more afraid of getting this kind of punishment." I said sarcastically.

"Hem... good. Self-realization!" she said again.

"So what do you do now?" asked Rama, who is now looking at me with a compassionate gaze. "I'll take you to a special doctor, can I? A dermatologist. Consult, if the time is right, you can do skin grafting or something like that?"

"Duh... no need. I want to find a new job instead. It's okay, it's not visible."

"Well, if you get married, your man can run away, if he sees that!!"

"I don't intend to marry either. Huhuhu. I'm too lazy. Just wanna make money to get rich!" I replied, but it is true.. honesty from the bottom of my heart.

"Wait... are you looking for a job? Just go to Rama's office! You said you were looking for an admin, right?"

Now Rama nodded enthusiastically. "Do you want to have a shot, Lili? There's an admin vacancy, I can refer you to the personnel person."

"I want it.. poor bas. I'd like to."

"I work for a publishing company, it's not a big company, we have less than fifty employees now. But everyone is doing their best. We need an admin... hold on, I'll text the personnel."

Wow... what a coincidence!

"Li! Bring your resume tomorrow! Give it to me, we'll meet tomorrow, how? Want me to pick you up?" he offered. Zetta nodded in agreement.

"Yes, please pick her up! You're so rich! Don't you dare make my bestie ride a motorcycle alone! Crazy!"

"It's not late at night. But if he picks me up... I'll be a bother to Rama. I'll feel bad."

"Eh? Feel bad? With Rama? You! We've been bothering him since middle school!" Zetta sometimes likes to be sadistic when she talks. Already knowing I was embarrassed by Rama, she even added more.

I grimaced.

"Ehhhe, sorry Bro. It was our mistake to be your burden."

"Yes... yes. Don't listen to Zetta. I'll pick you up tomorrow. I'll take you to the office."

Since then, I found a new chapter in the life of a woman named Lili. I was hired on the same day, and I was able to adapt quite well, I was accepted by the team and quickly became comfortable with everything. I started my career as an admin at CreaGo Media.
