Between the North and South Poles (You & Me)
CHAPTERS 1. SURPRISE

Aaaaaah....

Shouted Mischa when she had arrived in the capital Manila, riding a pick-up car, which suddenly went nongol when she hid behind the bushes. Mischa is forced to flee her village.

Previously Mischa sent her application to a well-known company in the city of Manila. After graduating from one of the top universities in the Rizal province of Antipolo. And get his diploma he immediately sent a letter of application through an email listed on one of the internet sites.

Mischa is grateful that she has finally been able to leave her hometown. Although he was forced to leave his parents in trouble with Mr. Burhan.

Mischa was surprised instead of playing when she heard the honking sound of a car that almost hit her. Also because of the curse thrown by the driver of the car. He looked back at the traffic lights that showed red. "Shouldn't the car stop and pedestrians cross? he murmured in the heart.

The city of Manila is very different from the city of origin. Just arrived there were already a few things that made him sprain. Mischa had also seen with her own eyes a pickpocket in the street, a man who was fondling the body of the woman on the edge of the building, until finding that the woman was just a pleasure to be treated like that.

Maybe they are a couple, but they shouldn't be in public places, right? His murmurs noticed everything he saw in downtown Manila. The morality that Mischa upholds is disturbed. Countless How many times had he sighed and stroked the chest.

"He was forced to argue with a handsome man, while he was in a Manila park that looked beautiful and suitable to remove the burden of thought for a moment. As a result of the sound of his cry, which spilled all his heart, before he left for the office. But unfortunately the debate between Mischa and a handsome man makes him have to go late to the office.

"Sir I want to go to the office "How many ALC?" ask Mischa to the motorized rickshaw brother who again hangs there. After the discussion happened.

"Twenty thousand yes Ate (sister)," replied Abang Beca

"Can't be less sir? far away from here? pinta Mischa

"Ate, where did it come from?

"I am from Pao Pao Village in Rizal province, sir, this is my first day of work. Just came from the village."

"Yes already Ate, ten thousand yes, consider it as a welcome in the city of Manila.

Mischa smile sumringah. "wah thank you sir!

Mischa climbed up and the rickshaw brother immediately drove to the destination. The young girl enjoyed her trip and looked at the view of the city of Manila which was dominated by tall buildings, in contrast to her original place which was filled with shady trees here and there.

He was amazed to see the number of vehicles. And Mischa idly calculated how many cars were found during the trip. Understandably in his village only rich people and village officials who can have a private four-wheeled vehicle.

"Kok Ate, just got here already working? asked the curious rickshaw brother with a loud voice trying to defeat the roar of the wind.

"Over the story, sir, it's a big thank you that I made it to Manila. Yesterday almost dragged by a loan shark." replied Mischa with a voice no less loud.

"Well, how can I Ate? the rickshaw brother showed his surprise through his voice.

"Yes sir, in my village both my parents have debts to one of the loan sharks or a rich man in my village. Since my parents couldn't afford it on time, the jerk asked me to be his fifth wife.

"Well...

"Wife 5?

"Yes sir, so I fled by riding a pick up car from my village until I arrived in this city of Manila.

"Waduh...., is there still Ate, kayak so in modern times kayak now?here even a lot of spinster Ate, in busy work so do not think for the marriage response brother rickshaw.

"It's the same in my village, sir."

"yes Ate."

The trip was filled with other pleasantries, while the driver introduced some things about the city of Manila . Although feeling confused, Mischa should be grateful to meet with a good-natured rickshaw brother today.

Abang rickshaw told me about the beauty of the city of Manila and told Mischa to visit the monument.it is like an obligation if traveling to Jakarta. Moreover Mischa will be working here for a long time.

After arriving Mischa gave money worth ten thousand and thanked Abang becak. Thanks to the rickshaw brother Mischa can arrive at ALC, but he was again surprised when he saw the office area.

"Where is the office?

Mischa was dumbfounded and confused as to where to look. He looked at the ranks of tall buildings in the high-class office. He remembered how many of his friends had said, welcome to ALC and seemed happy when he received the announcement of passing the interview at ALC, located in the Manila City area.

They say Mischa will have a promising career here. The only thing he thought about, was by working in an elite place, this was hopefully he could send more money for his parents. Especially now Mr. Komo, Mischa's biological father is sickly.

But he was confused as to where to go. Although walking slowly while checking his office address. Maybe he should ask people back then. He also began greeting a woman who walked in a hurry despite wearing high heels.

"Ate, ask dong!

"I'm sorry, I'm busy not having time to handle the insurance promo. Our office already provides insurance.

Mischa was again dumbfounded as the woman passed handsomely staring at her face. Who would offer insurance? he looked at the clothes he was wearing. Then compare it to the suit worn by the woman who just left it.

Maybe he looks like an insurance agent. But he did not give up, still trying to ask people through his problems his efforts remained in vain.

Mischa wonder why people want to ask questions are not discussed here. Unlike the village, Pao Pao village if there is a newcomer, ask the address or direction of the village should not be answered, the newcomer will be delivered directly to the destination by the villagers who are questioned.

In stark contrast to the situation here, none of the people he rebuked would stop or at least listen to what he wanted to ask.

Mischa then looks at the watch, and is surprised that she is 15 minutes late to enter the office. He ran a little and tried to guess. Who knows the name of the building that will be read during the trip.

"ALC...Group."like Netra Mischa kept muttering the name of her office." because she was busy scanning the names of the building while walking Mischa did not realize that there were two people who were fighting with their mouths in front of her. Then he was surprised when the two men doused him with a bucket of water. The water was the water from the floor mop they used.

"Ahhhh!

Mischa cursed and retreated a few steps, after she was hit by the water of the comb. The two men who were watering also looked surprised to see near them. One is a security man and the other is probably a janitor.
