Reaching Hope

Chapter 144 First Day Becomes LC

"What's wrong, ugly?" ask Clara.

"It's not about that, but why did you change your appearance to such an extent? Wanna be a whore, you?"

Jhony's words were painful for Clara even for Dinda. How could Jhony have such a small mind, just because he changed his appearance he could put out such a harsh word.

"How rude are you, Jhon? Do you think every blonde woman keeps dressing sexy it's l*nte, huh? You think I'm that kind of woman, too?"

Dinda was offended by Jhony's words, because she indirectly called herself that.

"It's not so, Din. It's different, you and Clara are not the same. You dress up like that because of the demands of the profession, but her? Why did he change his appearance so?"

"I want to be LC, Jhon. I need a lot of money right now, just being a waitress is not enough," this time Clara spoke up.

"What's? Don't be crazy, Clara, what your parents would say if they found out. I know you need money, but not by being an LC. You never get drunk, what if they take a chance. Anyway I disagree,"

Jhony left the two of them just like that, it seemed that he was really angry. Clara can understand his feelings, because when Jhony had been lapsed, Clara was also angry with him and did not agree with his choice.

"How is this, brother? All this time he's never been mad at me, now he's been so scary so,"

"You just wait here, let me talk to him,"

Dinda immediately followed Jhony, she just went into Jhony's room. Although both are night workers, but their courtship style is not vulgar like the others. They still know the boundaries, they are determined to take care of each other until marriage later.

"What are you doing here? No need to persuade me, because I still won't agree,"

Not saying anything Jhony has given an ultimatum, but not Dinda's name if you can not seduce Jhony.

"Why are you so angry, honey? Do you think that LC is the same as a prostitute?" ask Dinda with a face made sad.

"Not so, I just don't want Clara to fall too deep. He went with me to this town, there is a responsibility from his parents that I must take care of. I beg you to understand, help me persuade him to abandon that intention,"

This time Dinda felt guilty, she could understand Jhony's position. But Clara also has a strong desire due to economic factors. He cannot blame both.

"I see, I don't just agree either. But he had no other solution, whereas he needed a lot of money. You know for yourself how the family is doing now, I'm so confused about how,"

Both of them seemed to think, if only their financial condition was good it would definitely help Clara with pleasure. It's just that right now their lives only depend on their current work as well.

A few moments later.

Drowsiness began to cloud Clara's eyes, but she could not fall asleep. Jhony's words kept ringing in his ears. Never had his best friend said that to him all this time. Clara was crying, her heart suddenly hurt.

'I'm not a whore, I don't want to be a whore. I just want to work as an LC to make a lot of money' inner Clara.

"Clara, Clara, let's get up,"

Clara seemed to dream of someone waking her up, but the drowsiness that makes her sleep.

"Clara, I have something to say. Let's get up first,"

Dinda shook Clara's body a little tight for the girl to wake up. Sure enough, the girl woke up despite enduring the drowsiness.

"Sir Dinda, what is it? What do you want to talk about?" ask Clara.

"You should get ready tonight, because we're gonna start work,"

"But I'm still hesitant, let alone Jhony being so angry earlier,"

Clara looked sad, her face turned moody.

"I've talked to him, we'll always look after you during work. So there's nothing to worry about,"

"We? You mean Brother Jhony agrees?"

"What's right, brother? Seriously brother?"

Clara's eyes were perfectly rounded, she did not expect Dinda to persuade Jhony.

"Well, Dinda is right,"

They laugh together, whether what happiness they will get so they feel this happy. What is clear is that this togetherness makes them more familiar and more understanding of each other.

Her night.

"Dude, don't be so sexy. It's your first day, just wear another one,"

Jhony commented on Clara's appearance, he felt uncomfortable seeing his best friend wear a short dress with a hollow model in the back. Jhony just saw him become literate how the men there.

"When this is how?" ask Clara.

"Yes, you just wear it,"

"Eh you guys really, really long time ago in waiting," said Dinda.

"I've changed clothes 3x Kak, Jhony was told to change directly from earlier," replied Clara.

"The end of the wear is too open, anyways you give Clara kok clothes that are too sexy anyway. He's not used to it yet, honey," this time Jhony said with a little affection.

"Well, let's go, let's go, let's get it back,"

They leave by car invitation from where they work, fortunately the other friend was willing to wait for them even though a little long.

The frenetic sound of music filled the room, it seemed that a female DJ was playing his part quite well. Dinda immediately brings Clara and Jhony to meet with the employees as well as other night workers.

"Someone asked for a new item, it just so happened that there was Clara. The guy subscribes here, well and doesn't like to drink alcohol. He just loves karaoke, so it fits in perfectly. You want one, Clara?" ask the woman whom everyone calls mommy.

Clara looked doubtful, she looked at Dinda for an opinion.

"Had taken it, we'd always be watching" Dinda said.

Finally Clara agreed, she was immediately escorted to the man's room. It turned out that the man was not too old, he was still around 45 years old. Beside him was also sitting a woman like him, meaning this man ordered two women.

With a little awkward Clara started to approach the man and introduce herself.

"You're the new kid, huh? I've never seen you,"

"Yes, Sir. I'm just starting today,"

"Just relax don't be so stiff, I don't bite," he continued.

Clara smiled and immediately sat not too far away from the man.

"You must be a karaoke guy?" ask the man.

"What?" clara's mind went nowhere.

"You can sing, right?"

"Oh, yes,"

The man told Clara to pick a song and sing for him. He chose his memorable song with Juan first, he sang wholeheartedly and soulfully. The guest was so happy, the man was so sad to hear Clara promise.

"Clara, here's a tip for you. If one day I come back here again, accompany me again yes,"

Clara saw the sheet of money that the man gave her, how many tips she got, she was moved to receive the money.
