Call Me a Rose
Chapter 63

Jelita observed a row of curriculum vitae lined up on her desk. There are several candidates in the company who are predicted to replace Diara. Yes, Jelita knows many of his employees are eyeing Diara's position. Especially the reason if it is not a lucrative salary? But Jelita is not sure there will be people who will be as sincere and loyal as Diara when working for him. Therefore Jelita ended up crossing out all the candidates' names, because she felt they could not make her believe.

Jelita then chose to open a new job vacancy, specifically for people who are experienced in their field. Jelita's been doing it since Diara's been working. But even until Diara had completely stopped, Jelita had yet to find a suitable candidate. The CV series was only viewed without interest. Higher education at a reputable university is not a guarantee. The experience of working in a bona fide company is also not a criterion. I don't know what Jelita's looking for. Jelita not only wants an assistant, but Diara needs someone who can really be trusted as well as reliable for all jobs. And for some reason out of all the candidates no one interests him

Jelita busied herself to work and work. Diara's absence makes his work pile up. And Jelita had to finish it all by herself. No more friends to share the joys and sorrows in the midst of all the busyness that sometimes makes his head almost explode.

Finished with her work Jelita lay down for a moment her body on the soft sofa in her room. Jelita smiled smugly looking at report after report through her tablet. His hard work was not in vain. Despite having to handle a lot of work, Jelita did not lose his ability and was able to solve problems well. The problems left by Gunawan one by one have been handled well. And the company's finances are gradually stable. Even the company experienced significant growth.

Jelita turned on the television in her room. Just looking for entertainment in the middle of working hours. Diara sat up with one leg and occasionally sipped her favorite caramel coffee. Jelita changed the television channel whose broadcasts look boring. Until then Jelita stopped on breaking news broadcasts that caught her attention a little. Breaking news that features news about the development of pornographic video cases that have been viral lately. Two people have been named as suspects. One person is a person who is scapegoated as a perpetrator of porn videos in exchange for a large enough payment as well as guarantees for his family. And one more is Arya, the actor and the main target of Jelita who is accused of being a recorder and the first person who neglected to spread his personal activities to the viral.

Everything went according to Jelita's plans and wishes. The legal process against Gunawan is running smoothly and the company is slowly recovering. Arya has also got a proper reply for the crime she used to do. But somehow, Jelita was not satisfied either. It was as if there was a hole in his heart that remained open. There was a real emptiness he felt and his mind never felt at ease.

In the excitement, suddenly entered a notification message that turned out from Diara. It felt like just yesterday they had completely separated because Diara had chosen to resign. But Jelita already felt far away from her best friend. Maybe because lately they often quarrel until there is a cold war.

Jelita feels bored and tired with work. Coming to a funeral is not a bad idea. And maybe there he could meet Diara. I don't know what Diara's relationship is with Arya. But Jelita could feel that there was an unusual connection between the two. Things that yesterday made him upset and felt lied to. But now his annoyance and suspicion had already disappeared. Maybe because Jelita felt like she lost Diara more than anything. Jelita no longer had any feelings for Arya. His anger yesterday was more because he felt unwilling if his best friend Diara, associated with criminals like Arya.

With delivered by Mr. Bin, Jelita finally came to the funeral. It seemed that he had arrived late, for the burial place was already deserted. But Jelita was lucky when she saw the woman she knew was still there. Jelita came closer to say hello.

Jelita scatters and hugs Diara, a friend she misses dearly.

But the reply he got was precisely the words that slapped his heart.

"What is your wish achieved, are you satisfied now?"
