Author’s POV
Naomi wiped her sweat, today she has to prepare food for her father's sale. Benny sells mie ayam and bakso, and every day Naomi helps him prepare his ingredients. Seeing Naomi who seemed exhausted, he asked her to take a break and leave the rest to himself.
"Dad, it's okay... Well, it's almost done," she said while making meatballs.
Benny smiled calmly, he was lucky to have a daughter who understood his condition. He felt very guilty for what had happened to his family. Starting from a decline in their family's economy, until he put a burden on his only daughter who should be having fun at her age. He never heard her daughter complain about their life, never.
"Yosh! Finally done," said Naomi with a proud smile.
It was still 6 in the morning, and Naomi only got 3 hours of sleep because this dawn she was working on a CV to send to Louis Studios.
Naomi looked at her dad and called him while he was making meatballs, "Dad, I'm applying for a job, you know," she said with great enthusiasm. She had almost forgotten to talk about this to her father,
"Is that true?! Where do you apply it?” asked Benny also with enthusiast,
"It is, It’s at Seira's office. Incidentally, they need a senior 3D artist. I've already submitted my application, but later if my CV is received, they will call me for an interview, "said Naomi with a smile that did not leave her lips. Benny also smiled seeing his daughter who was smiling at him.
"Today, I'll help daddy, okay..." asked Naomi who was shaken strongly by Benny,
"No need to... how about your freelance work, have you finished it?" She shook her head. Luckily his father warned her because she also just remembered that she had a deadline in the afternoon. With an unwilling heart, Naomi lift her head, "Okay... but dad, be careful..." she said to which Benny nodded. The two of them helped each other to tidy up and put the meatballs into Benny's cart. After everything was done, Naomi went to shower. After she finished showering, she went back into her room and opened her laptop. She returned to work on the deadline this afternoon.

"Yosh!" she murmured happily.
Naomi has already completed the character design for her to send to the client. She stretched her stiff body because she was doing his job very seriously. Sometimes she yawns because she lacks sleep.
Seeing her bed which seemed to call her, she then slammed herself on the bed to release all her fatigue. She sighed and tried to close her eyes.
As soon as she closed his eyes, the image of Alex began to haunt her. Immediately, she rolled his eyes lazily, why should she imagine the figure of Alex?
She thought about Alex's words as if he wanted her back to him. She just chuckled, maybe that tall man was joking because until now he had not shown himself.
Disappointed.
She shook her head quickly, why was she feel disappointed if that man didn't serious about what he said? She recalled her encounter with Alex which was completely unexpected. If Alex hadn't gone after those sissies, maybe they wouldn't have seen each other forever.
But why did he has to be chased by sissies?
There's nothing better, right? Again, she imagined how different he looked from what he was before. He grew taller and of course, his face became more masculine. Not only that, his body was getting stronger and wider than before.
Her thoughts went deepened, remembering how that body had given her a sensation she had never felt in her life.
She admits she misses that body,
However, to miss and return to that man, she doesn't think that it will happen because the wound that he inflicted on her is not an ordinary wound that can be healed. Alex is the beginning of all the wounds that exist from her.
It's supposed to be unforgettable.
Her eyes watered, remembering what she had been through. Starting from the trauma that that man inflicted on her to the trauma that someone else stalked on her. Her life is full of sad drama and she hates them very much.
Why did all this have to happen to her?
What she wants was a stable life, a good career to become a successful woman, both in terms of career and life. She still holds her dream of starting her own company even though she is currently at a point where it is impossible to achieve it.
No one has the right to stop her dream. She didn't care about other people's reproaches once they hear what her dream was. She will continue to try even though she may become a successful person at a young age.
"I have to try," she said, looking up at the ceiling. It didn't matter what people would say, but she believed in herself.
Her mind couldn't stop thinking about Alex and she hated it. She bit her lip furiously, why didn't she stop thinking about him earlier. She opened her eyes with a ragged breath,
She wished that man would just disappear from her life, but why did she keep thinking about him?
"You know, Naomi. Don't fall in the same trap," she thought as she patted her cheeks,
It was already 7 p.m. and soon her father would be home. She turned her body back to the left, trying to hold back the sleepiness that was starting to attack her. Until finally, she decided to get up from her bed and started walking around incoherently, to relieve her sleepiness,
Then, she heard a knock on the wood which he believed was his father who had come back home. Quickly, she stepped on and helped her father to take out the rest of his father's product which had started to run out. Naomi smiled happily, her father's product was selling well today.
"It's about to run out, huh..." said Naomi who was putting the rest into a container,
"Yeah, thankfully it is..." he said with a smile that she liked. After she finished putting the chickens into the container, she moved to the kitchen to put the chickens in the refrigerator.
After that, Naomi pushed the cart to a place that was still accessible by the roof of her house, so that if it rained, the cart would at least not get too wet.
"What are you cooking today, Naomi?" asked Benny as Naomi had just put the wagon in its place,
"Today, it's just tofu and eggs..." she said slowly. Due to economic pressure, they sometimes only eat their leftovers food. It was very rare for them to eat meat like they used to eat so often.
So don't be surprised if sometimes she doesn't cook anything.
Benny nodded in understanding and invited his daughter to come into the house. There, they were joking while enjoying the side dishes that Naomi had cooked.

Author’s POV Naomi stepped out of her house and met her father who was getting ready to go to sell mie ayam and bakso. "Well, today Naomi will join you, won't me, Dad?" Naomi asked very strongly, it could be seen from her holding Benny's hand as a form of her request. She wanted to join her father sell their wares together. "What about your work, is everything done?" asked Benny to which Naomi nodded, "It's okay, I am free today," she said, and she immediately ran towards the cart that his father was supposed to bring. This time she took the initiative to push the cart, replacing her father who always did it. Benny could only nod slowly as he followed his daughter who had already started to push the cart. The two of them walked hand in hand with Naomi pushing the cart. Arriving at her father's usual place of selling, she wiped her sweat, waiting if there were buyers who would buy her father's wares. This wa
Author’s POV Naomi straightened her gaze again, pushing her cart to get to their house. Along the way, there was no meaningful conversation between Naomi and her father. When they got home, that tiny black-haired girl cleaned herself up before she went back to her work. After a few hours of working on the design, she stretched her body for a moment to relieve the tiredness and fatigue she felt. Often she also yawns because she takes her bedtime back to do her work. "Keep on going!" she said as she pulled her fists, After fewhours, she took a break by opening her phone and social media. Naomi just got an email from a client who wanted her to revise the character she has drawn. She immediately worked on the design according to the client's request. Shortly after she submitted the design, she moved on to another job waiting for her to be done. She couldn't deny that she often complained about his life. But she really likes producti
Author’s POV What an unexpected encounter. He was even stunned because he was too shocked by what he saw. He wasn't wrong, was he? He checked again the works and CV she had been sent. He did know that she had always loved to draw, but to apply to his company as a senior 3D artist was an unexpected thing for him. Even Alex had to enlarge the CV poster to see the photo on the poster, to make sure that it was Naomi he had known all along. And all he coulddo was speechless by what he had seen. A feeling of surprise and joy was mixed within him. He looked back at the CV poster and he entered Naomi's number into his phone. With a crooked smile, he clicked OK to save Naomi's number for himself. But his smile immediately faded because he remembered that this girl was only a candidate from the 10 chosen people. If he looked back at the works of the other nine people, the others were no less good than her. Huh... he wanted
Naomi smiled, she was lucky to have a big sister like Seira who helped her and her family a lot. With everything Seira did to her, she would not waste her opportunity to enter a giant company like Louis Studios. There was a thought that made her a little curious, she wanted to ask Seira but she was a little confused about how to start. She struggled with her mind, she took her phone and she looked for Seira's contact. She made a call for her and when Seira picked up the call, Naomi started to ask, "Um... Seira..." as she called her big sister, "Yes, what is it?" "Are Louis Studios have a good salary?" she asked carefully, hoping Seira would not be offended "They are, especially if you're already a senior. If you are the one who is elected, I will be the manager. And this company is environmentally friendly.” "Wow, you're the manager? Seriously?!" said Naomi in surprise. She didn't expect itbefore, "That's right, coincidentall
Naomi started to enter a very spacious room and in that room, there were Adrian and Seira who were waiting for her to enter. As soon as she entered, her first gaze fell on Seira who looked at her as if both didn't know each other. She was invited by Adrian to sit in the chair provided.Politely, she nodded and started to sit her butt on the chair. She sat up straight, to give the impression of being dominant and assertive."Hmm... Naomi..." Adrian said while looking at the sheet of paper he was holding. He glanced at the photo on the sheet for a moment before turning his gaze to Naomi."Tell me about yourself," said Seira who nodded understandingly byher,“I am Naomi Tjahara, previously I was an alumnus of computer science from Unijaya University, Jakarta. I've been working as a freelancer for the past few years," she said in a friendly manner. As much as possible for her to be calm in explaining and answering all the questions which be asked
Naomi held her chest, which was still beating hard. She was grateful that she did not show her nervousness when she was interviewed earlier. But she also didn't think that she could be so confident when she answered some of the questions that were asked forher. At this time she began to enter the empty elevator that had just opened in front of her. This building has 20 floors high and she was currently on the 14th floor. Naomi entered the empty elevator and pressed the button for the ground floor. Naomi sighed heavily. She wanted this nervous sensation to end quickly. She caught her breath and began to close his eyes, "The important thing is that I gave my best," she thought, adding a smile that soothed her soul. Ting! The elevator opened and several people got into it. She started to shift herself as soon as a group of people entered. And not long after when the lift opened again, everyone came out on the ground floor, so did her.
Initially, Naomi intended to stop working as a freelancer while waiting for the announcement that she would get from Louis Studio. But she can't wait in uncertainty, because she also needs money to survive, So she keeps doing some work while waiting for the announcement. On the sidelines of her busy life, someone called her. When she saw that the number was not in her contacts, she started to take out her phone and slowly she put it to her right ear, "Who's calling at this time of night?" she asked with a curious mind, Naomi wrinkled her forehead because no one was still on the phone. After a split second of thinking, she finally decided to open her mouth, "Hello?" she said doubtfully, The wrinkles on her forehead did not go away when she also did not hear anyone's voice there. She tried to raise his voice, but no one was heard on the call, Naomi removed the phone from her right ear and stared at the screen with a frown that ha
It's Friday and until now there has been no information from the Louis Studio company regarding the acceptance or rejection of Naomi in the company. Even so, Naomi continues to carry out her activities, namely helping her father. The girl did not let go of her warm smile to the customers who bought their wares. Even though she has a small body, her face is very beautiful to look at even though she is only dressed in ordinary clothes. No wonder she sometimes gets temptations from male customers who adore herbeauty, Naomi only thought the compliments and temptations were just a thing of the past. She just smiled kindly and ignored the temptation, no matter how handsome the man who complimented her. And now she was giving a plastic bag of mie ayam and bakso to a person who had been asking for her contact. "Oh, my question hasn't been answered before," he said to her, "I broke my phone, sorry..." she said politely. The man looked disappo
