Chasing you with Pellets
10. Dream Manager

Since hearing the promise of the Mama who will help him get his dream man, Aprilia's work spirit that had decreased was re-awakened.

That morning Aprilia left for work with a happy face to imagine herself being close to Ricki the Manager. Seeing the face of his son who was always smiling made Fitria's heart warm.

"Mama will do whatever you want to make you smile like this, son ..," muttered Fitria.

"What did Ma, Mama say what just now ?" aprilia asked while looking at her mother.

"Ga exists. Mama just said no one left behind rich yesterday," said Fitria lying.

"Oh that. No one else missed Ma. Mama, just calm down" said Aprilia with a smile.

Fitria nodded then continued her breakfast which had stopped.

Shortly thereafter Aprilia took a break from Fitria. The girl got up from her seat and kissed her mother. Afterwards he walked to the door followed by Fitria with his wheelchair. Fitria always takes Aprilia to the doorstep. He was happy to see Aprilia waving at him from afar.

Aprilia arrives at her 'office' and is greeted by the sweet smile of her colleagues. After greeting each other Aprilia rushed to the employee rest room to change clothes. Shortly thereafter Aprilia came out wearing the exact same uniform that her colleagues wore.

"What's the reason Lo's with Mama Lo now Pril ?" lisa asked as she watched Aprilia from head to toe.

"Ga exists. Mama I'm used to squirming I go to work wearing casual clothes. Richly he was tired because I constantly talk about clothes" said Aprilia with a laugh.

"Yes yes. Surely Mama Lo ga believe if administrative employees wear T-shirts plus denim pants to the office. Usually, office employees wear skirts and blouses. Neat and dapper again," Yuna said with a sneer.

"How else would Yun. Instead of Mama I'm getting worse, I better lie a little about the work. He might not even come here to see what I'm doing" said Aprilia.

"Yes yes, I understand. The important thing is that the salary is big and it can help Mama Lo. Is it ga ?" yuna asked as she clasped Aprilia's shoulder to give her support.

"Yes" said Aprilia with a big smile.

While chatting casually the bell sign began to work also rang loudly. Aprilia and her colleagues who joined in one group immediately docked to form a line. It is done every day before work. The goal is that the supervisor is easy to approve employees who attend. In addition, there will usually be little direction from the supervisor about the target job they have to achieve that day.

Ten minutes later Aprilia and her colleagues seemed to disperse and then headed to their respective desks.

Aprilia steps up to the table where she cuts the materials, Yuna to the pattern-making table, while Lisa and the other employees go to the sewing machine.

Aprilia began her work by praying in her heart. Although not a devout Muslim, Aprilia believes praying before doing work will help protect her from the slightest job risk.

"Aamiin ...," Aprilia muttered as she rubbed her face with her palm.

Then Aprilia started working. While working Aprilia recalled her conversation with the mother. Aprilia smiled bitterly as she recalled the lies she had told.

Everyone including Fitria believes that Aprilia is an office worker. But the office where Aprilia works is not a multi-storey building whose employees work behind desks and struggle with sheets of paper or computers. The office in question Aprilia is a garment factory, a manufacturer of ready-to-wear clothing.

Aprilia's been lying. He said he worked at an insurance company as an administrative employee. Aprilia lied because she did not want to make both her parents and sisters disappointed.

Aprilia was almost desperate. He who insisted on proving himself and said he was able to work other than in the company of the father began to falter.

"To Papa's company, shame. Because my value is so low. But if you don't go there, I don't work dong. Mom will say that all the talk is true. Only Papa's office can receive academic grades as low as I. That's because I'm Mr. Benzo's son. I don't like to be pitied. I want people to appreciate I because of my ability and not because of Papa's big name," Aprilia muttered as she violently damaged her hair.

When Aprilia was agitated, a group of women dressed in uniform with the logo of the name of a garment on the back flashed. They seemed to talk while laughing. I don't know why Aprilia likes to look at them because they don't seem to have the burden of life.

It wasn't just once that Aprilia saw the women. And Aprilia was always curious about their work. And that afternoon Aprilia could no longer hold back her curiosity. He approached them and asked them about their profession.

Yuna and Lisa are the first to welcome Aprilia. Both of them clearly explained what their work was in the factory located not far from their position at the time.

"Oh that's ..," said Aprilia while nodding her head.

"Yes. Why?, Lo is interested in working in our rich garment ?" ask Yuna.

"Mmm ..., is there a vacancy for me ?" ask Aprilia.

"still. If you want, Lo's coming tomorrow. Coincidentally the garment factory where we work again open a job vacancy," said Lisa.

"Ok, I'm coming tomorrow. Thanks ...," said Aprilia while shaking Yuna and Lisa's hands alternately.

"Either. Hopefully Lo accepted and we can one division later," said Lisa.

"But I'm sure Lo accepted Pril. Companies need a lot of extra energy. Moreover, orders are also many more," said Yuna.

"Aamiin ...," said Aprilia and Lisa together.

Then the three of them separated after exchanging phone numbers.

The next day Aprilia comes to the garment factory where Yuna and Lisa work. When we got there, there were many applicants who came. After submitting the job application file, Aprilia sat down while waiting for a test call and interview.

As Yuna guessed, Aprilia was immediately accepted to work there even though she did not have work experience. Aprilia is happy not to be upset because she can finally get a job in a normal way. And even more exhilarating because Aprilia was placed in the same Division as Yuna and Lisa.

Aprilia ended her daydream as a rowdy voice rang out around her. Aprilia held her head up and understood what caused the uproar.

Turns out Ricki, the handsome Operations Manager is passing by to observe the performance of all employees who are dominated by women. Yuna and Lisa who are also heavy admirers of Ricki seem to be unable to calm down. They clearly showed their interest in the handsome man. And Aprilia as well.

Even so focused on Ricki, Aprilia did not realize that she had mishandled the materials.

"What are you doing Aprilia ...?!" ask Ricki loudly.

Ricki's loud and anxious voice surprised everyone including Aprilia. And when Aprilia realized that the reprimand was on her, Aprilia panicked.
