KARMA FIRST LOVE

Re-encounter

Ten years passed after I disappeared from the sight of those who did not expect me, I was forced to return to that city feeling uneasy.

I came back when I heard that my mother had a stroke and Dad was starting to take care of her alone.

Incidentally there is a company that offers to become a secretary with a large income.

Enough for the cost of maternal care and the needs of our family every day also pay the installment of the house that I give to father and mother.

After bathing my mother, I kissed the sleeping mother's stiff hands and looked at her for a while with a sad feeling

"Mom.sorry me, I won't trouble you anymore.Please pray that I get accepted to work today ma'am..."

I set out after saying goodbye to my father who finished sweeping the courtyard with a neat blazer and a knee-length skirt I set out.

****

I stood in front of the Well company building nervous, hoping that this building would always be where I work.

After waiting, it was my turn to be called.

I entered the interview room feeling nervous, my competitors were very convincing in terms of appearance making me even more anxious.

But I can't back down, for a sick father and mother.

I bowed respectfully and sat before the interviewers, I read one by one the signboards lined up on their desks.

Roan Welly Wijaya - CEO OF WELL COMPANY

Spontaneously I closed my mouth in shock and began to walk down the person sitting behind the signboard.

He looked at me in wonder, my heart was pounding watching him who was far away changing.

The old ash suit with his neat hair made him look dignified, and even more handsome than ten years ago.

I immediately controlled my expression and lowered my head, hoping that he would not recognize me.

I'd love to be able to get out of that room, if I don't remember how much I wanted this job to support family life.

My God, why did you find us again!!!

My grunts are in my heart while closing my eyes.

"Do you know me?"

The familiar voice in my ear asked me to make my heart beat more and more

I shake my head strongly

No.. I don't know you, just give me a job, I won't bother you, Roan!

That old feeling was probably just a sad first love story so I didn't want to expect much when this meeting happened.

He smiled at me and opened his draft and looked at me again.

"Lyra Anastasia...You look familiar, your name also seems to have heard ya..."

Gleck...

I swallowed my saliva, trying to be as normal as possible

Maybe he's married, let alone he's a CEO at least he must already have a girlfriend right??!!

I'm trying to get my brain to work with that logic, so I can answer interviews.

"So my secretary is not easy, you have to stand by 24 hours and run immediately if I call.I don't like slow people!"

"I'll try my best sir"

I stifled my nervousness, he looked back at the draft on his desk.

"You ever drop out of school?"

again - again I was like in a lightning strike, I couldn't say I quit school because I couldn't stand being bullied and didn't have the face to see him after the message, right???

"I quit for personal reasons, sir"

my neutral answer made him frown

"What's that?"

He looked at me sharp again, my brain was getting unassailable to think.

"What about getting married?"

the question was to upset everyone in the room.

She thought I was pregnant and married while I was in school?!

"No, there was a calamity that befell me and made me have to rest for a year "

the lie came out of my mouth.

I actually had an accident, but that was after I left school.

I had a back injury that was severe enough that Dad had to drain all of his savings that I should have gone to school for.

But I only rested for the remaining six months I spent crying in the room lamenting my misfortune.

"What endowment?"

Ask again with curiosity

"Sorry Lyra, we just want to know the origin of your education"

I smiled wryly looking at him

"A traffic accident, I got hit by a car until some of my bones cracked requiring me to rest"

This time the honest answer was hoping he didn't want to know any deeper, he nodded his head and went back to looking at the draft.

After that, the other interviewers took turns asking me about my views on the work they were going to do with me.

I knew that my heart still trembled when I met him again even though ten years had passed, but I could not deny the message from him that made me feel like dying at that time.

I should have hated it ....

If only he had confirmed it directly to me, if only he had asked without directly blaspheming me like that...

Maybe I graduated well even though the upperclassmen bullied me every day, at least the sweet memories of him that I would use to strengthen me.

Being treated with contempt by the person we like is the worst thing I felt at my young age, making me foolishly go far and sacrifice my parents' feelings at that time.

I'll pay for my parents' disappointment, they're not long enough to wait for me to repay their affection.

Whatever my obstacles after this, it's not what - what's on the appeal of my situation at that time.Toh, he didn't recognize me right???

I don't think he can remember, even if he remembers me maybe I was just a nightmare for him.
