Let Me Hate

Episode 1's

Astari jumped to the Transjakarta bus stop and ran quickly while saying an excuse to make people who were walking in the bus stop corridor scream and protest because they sometimes nudged her, but he just said sorry and kept running down the bus stop which was very long and tiring.

" Hopefully there is still time" he said inwardly as he arrived in front of a very tall and magnificent office building.

Astari just received a reply email to a job application letter that she had sent to a company engaged in the trade and hospitality industry .He felt very irritated why he followed his friend for the holidays when he should be aware that he needed a job and should not be desperate to keep trying to make a job application, he said, if possible, go to all the companies. And now he's really mad at himself.

With a breath still wheezing he entered the office lobby and asked the receptionist who looked arrogant .

" Excuse me, I'd like to ask Miss, the room where the Wira Pratama Corporation company interview was conducted where is it ?."

" On the 4th floor of room 7B," he answered hesitantly because he saw Astari's appearance that looked messy.

" Thank you, and may I ask again?, which elevator should I take?," asked Astari .

He felt confused because there were so many lifts in this lobby while the time was very urgent.

" The two doors are the leftmost, but you should trim your hair first because here it prioritizes neatness and cleanliness," the receptionist suggested making her smile in embarrassment.

" I can hang out under the ga Miss?," he asked hoping.

" I'm sorry you can't, if you want to go behind us a little so as not to be too flashy and protected," shows the back where there is a barrier wall.

" Thank you Miss" Astari replied .

Quickly he immediately pulled out his side and did a touch up so that his face was not too wrinkled and greasy. When he finished he immediately returned to the elevator .

" Thank you Miss, pray that I can be accepted to work here yes," he said, while stepping quickly to make the two receptionists look at each other smiling uncertainly.

Astari's footsteps were less fast because when she arrived the elevator door had just closed making her back was was was was and always looked at her watch. But he was grateful because the elevator door to his right was open and he immediately entered and continued to pray that he was still given the opportunity to do a job interview.

This interview is actually a continuation of the work test that he did through online and only yesterday he received an interview call so he and his friend immediately looked for a ticket back to Jakarta and it felt so painful to fill his wallet because he has to spend money that is quite expensive in order to get a ticket home so he can do an interview and arrive on time. But here he was full of worry because he was already half an hour late from the appointed time.

Astari was already on the 4th floor and headed for room 7B and she was so surprised because in front of the room looks not like a person waiting for a job interview queue but more like waiting for a call from a client.

" Crazy, this is really mo office work?, why are their clothes frenzied so yes," he said in his heart to see who was present looking very sexy with super mini skirts and blouses that are very tight to show their body shape. While she only wears a calf-length skirt and blouse that is not too tight at least she does not have to hold her breath to look slim.

Astari was still standing in front of the door when a woman approached her.

" I'm Lidya job applicant registration section, and you ?."

" I'm Astari Rahayu, I'm sorry I'm late because I just arrived this morning after getting an email yesterday afternoon" Astari replied.

He spoke so quickly and he immediately bit his inner cheek because he felt he had blamed the company for making him late because of his very sudden notification.

Lidya looked at him sharply and he checked Astari's name and found her roster as a prospective employee who would conduct interviews.

" You're 30 minutes late, hopefully the boss accepts your excuses but sorry I can't promise if you can follow or not ."

" Well, I'll wait," Astari resigned because she felt defeated before the war saw the present look very convincing and especially they were on time.

About 15 minutes Lidya came out of the room which was where her interview was conducted.

" You're lucky because your scores during the test are so high and the leaders let you take the session, but the last number," tell Lidya to make Astari breathe a sigh of relief .

" Thank you Miss," Astari replied feeling grateful.

Astari immediately looked for an empty seat and her footsteps and presence became the center of attention of those who looked at her with reproach .

" It's up to you to look at me until your eyes and mouth hurt too it's your right, I'm normal anyway, there's nothing wrong with my clothes anyway" Astari said in her heart. To eliminate saturation he looked around the room and noticed a painting and smiled because he had been there as one of the foreign tourists who got a gift from the quiz he followed.

Ahead of the office break his name has not been called and still leaves five job applicants .

" It could be until the afternoon is over" a woman said to her friend impatiently.

" He uh, every one that goes inside must be a long time out" he replied exasperatedly but made his friend laugh .

" It's not that it's fun anyway," and they laughed making Astari look at him in surprise.

" It is not good to say that" again He spoke inwardly. Astari sees Lidya receiving a call and approaches them.

" Sorry the interview will be done again after lunch. Means the next 1 hour you should be back here," tell Lidya .

" Okay, thank you" they answered.

Astari approached Lidya who was tidying up her desk.

" Excuse me if the mosque and canteen are where ?."

" Mushola is on this floor is also located the rightmost while the employee canteen is on the leftmost 3rd floor. Go to the cafeteria first or musholla first ."

" Cantin only, so there's no need to go back and forth" Astari decided what to do first.

Lidya looked at him for a long time and he felt that this woman in front of him was different from the others.

" If you want to go to our canteen together, so you don't have to spend money on your lunch ."

" Why can it be?, is here provided free food?," Astri's face looks sparkling because it means there is no spending for lunch. He had imagined how many dollars he had to spend in this elite office area.

" Here the employees can enjoy the food for free during the lunch hour and also at 5 pm if they have to be overtime," Lidya told as she walked followed by Astari.

Astari was very surprised to see the employees and staff of the company who filled the cafeteria which was actually more like a restaurant because it provided a variety of food and beverage menus.

" It's really free Mom?" Astari really doesn't believe all the delicious food in front of her can be enjoyed for just a minute.

Astari takes several types of food according to the portion.

" You didn't take more?," Lidya felt astonished by the portion that couldn't be said much.

" Otherwise, my stomach can hurt Mom," Astari really enjoyed her lunch making Lidya once again laugh.

After finishing enjoying the lunch Astari returned to the 4th floor where there is a mosque.

Astari performs djuhur prayer using mukena that is already available. When finished he immediately rested while tidying up his makeup and hair that often made him hassles.

After his body was refreshed and his appearance was neat Astari saw his watch which already showed a time less than ten minutes from the scheduled time.

Astari again sat in the seat that had been provided where the waiting room was quieter.

Lidya noticed Astari's movements that like her could not stand still. For a moment he saw the painting then he moved away, then fixed the location of the potted plant sitting back and then made a picture of the decoration of the room while standing near the entrance not far from the table Lidya.

" Why ?, bored ?," said Lidya, watching him pacing back and forth.

Astari just nodded because she was really tired and tired.

" When you're up ?."

" Body dawn I just arrived in Jakarta after being battered looking for tickets back to Jakarta Bu, the holiday season can be very expensive tickets," Astari half complained because of the mistakes he made.

" Patience yes, there are only two more people left, may luck be on your side" Lidya encouraged Astari, and the girl just nodded with a listless smile.

" Where do you live ?."

" The home of parents in the Bekasi area and the mother must know how to jam."

" Hem, in other words you have to be willing to cost if accepted to work here because we always prioritize on time and also so that your time does not run out on the road."

" Yes, ma'am."

Astari noticed the expression of the woman who had just walked out of the room where the interview was conducted. His expression was very upset and disappointed.

" It's rude of you all to be clearly interested in my appearance" he said angrily.

Astari noticed the clothes the woman was wearing, the skirt was worn very short even she thought it was free she was wearing a skirt when she bent over directly showing her underwear .

" Actually the purpose of him applying for a job here is for what the hell?, if you want to open a stall yes do not here," he said slowly but quite heard Lidya who laughed.

After the umpteenth time he paced back and forth finally his name was called and he felt very relieved.

" Miss Astari please come in!," said Lidya also felt relieved because it meant her work was done.

With a confident step he knocked on the door and immediately entered after getting an answer from inside the room .

In the room Astari was stunned because he saw not only 1 person but 5 people who were all neatly dressed and seemed to have a high position in this company.

" Are you going to keep standing and spend our time?," scolded one of Them and Astari saw his nametag which apparently named Derry the financial part.

Astari stepped forward and suddenly she felt like she was accepting the trial as a suspect because they were looking at her full of judging and probing gazes.

Cold sweat suddenly flowed profusely and he took a breath trying to calm down.

" Good afternoon in the afternoon Mr-Bapak, my name is Astari Rahayu. And I received an interview call on Wednesday exactly 23 hours ago," for some reason he felt irritated all of a sudden, whether he wanted to be accepted or not, he was really tired.

" Just the name you say, is there no other data ."

" I'm sorry sir, all information about me is already on the job application CV in front of the father. I just don't want to spend my fathers time listening to me introduce myself" he replied with confidence.

" Miss Astari, you volunteered as a marketing officer, give us a reason why we should accept you as part of our team!," a voice from the marketing department called Krisna Wijaya sounded.

" I applied as a marketing officer because I think the marketing field is not a foreign part for me, because since High School and college I helped my brother in marketing his cake products ."

" Why not continue his work ?."

" Will you continue to enjoy the serabi cake, while outside the father can enjoy the cheese cake?," replied Astari freely making them hold a smile at her answer.

" In this company opens job opportunities for the fields of financial data analysis, staffing, marketing and also secretary. Why don't you choose one other than marketing" the HRD section also asks questions.

" For the analysis of financial data I feel less capable because it is not my field, for staffing should not have sharp senses so as not to be wrong in placing employees while for the secretary to apologize most likely I can not do it ?."

" Why ?."

" Because I can't look like the women who were here ."

" Do you think a secretary should be like that and have no skills ?."

" I don't mean that, I just think to apply for a job as a secretary will certainly have a very big competition. I just cut the chance ."

" Miss Astari here says you are 19 years old and you have completed your Bachelor's degree . What age did you start in education."

" I entered Elementary School through psychotes because I was young at 5 years less."

" You're a great woman, may I ask what is your purpose in fixing the paintings and plant pots outside?," a voice sounded from behind Astari. The voice was very deep and filled with emphasis making those in front of Astari stand as welcome as paying homage to the new coming.

Astari immediately turned around and she was unable to divert her attention from the figure of the man who had just entered the room. The man's aura was as powerful as hypnotizing himself. His gaze was glued to his extraordinarily handsome face with all the adjectives that Roman had in his book. His eyes were sharp as a hunter's laser beam. The man wears a very expensive suit, but it fits him very well in an athletic body and he believes such a man is always diligent in exercising and always gets praise not only from the opposite sex.
