The light of the sunrise reached the sky looming over the city of Jakarta. Though the capital city only slept for a few hours before a new day arrived, it's time for the residents to begin their day as usual.

When Lisa woke up from a deep sleep from the alcohol drink last night, the sun was already a little high and the air was getting hot. She got out of bed with a heavy head and swollen eyes.

Lisa stared at the clock on her cellphone and was shocked when she saw that it was already 8 am. What Andien said came true, drinking beer the day before the interview was not a good idea.

Andien was still asleep like a baby beside her. Lisa did not dare to wake her best friend, so she immediately rushed to the bathroom to take a shower and change clothes for an interview.

"Damn it! I'm late! Hopefully I can still make it!

" She complained to herself.

After taking a shower and getting prepared, Lisa immediately rushed to order a taxi and went to the interview venue.

During the trip, her mind was very unsettled. First, she was afraid of being late, leaving a bad first impression on the interviewer. Second, if she left a bad first impression, it was certain that the company she was applying to would not consider her to be an option so she would not pass the interview stage.

Lisa took a deep breath, trying to calm her messy thoughts. Praying that she would arrive at her destination on time, at least less than 10 minutes late.

***

Meanwhile at the apartment, Andien just woke up an hour after Lisa left her. She wondered where her best friend had gone, then suddenly remembered that Lisa was going for a job interview.

Remembering this made Andien's heart even more restless. This morning, she turned on the laptop and checked his email. There was no reply from the hundreds of companies she applied for. Several days ago, Andien also went for walk-in interviews but none of them bore a good result.

Today, Andien felt so drained both physically and mentally. She decided not to push herself too hard to find work. She needed a break, at least a day or two.

Suddenly, Lisa came with a disheveled face and a sweaty body. Andien immediately jerked from where she laid, staring at her best friend who looked not okay.

"Why did you come back? How was the interview earlier?

" Andien asked anxiously.

"Ndien, please get me some water first. I'm really thirsty!

" Lisa pointed to the gallon.

"Here, you can calm down first. I swear you look like a thief after being chased by the police,

" Andien teased while trying to comfort Lisa, who seemed displeased. Then she handed a glass of water to her.

While taking a quick sip of water, Lisa sighed and then took a deep breath.

"It's really crazy, I didn't drink at the interview!

"

"So how was the interview? How come it felt so fast?

"

"Actually, it went pretty smoothly. It's just...

"

Andien immediately sharpened her sense of hearing. Her gaze focused on looking at Lisa seriously.

"Just what?

"

"My company has many subsidiaries, okay? It just so happened that one of their subsidiaries is in need of an accountant, but I'm confused whether I should accept the offer or not,

" Lisa explained flatly as if she wasn't interested in her new job.

"Why is that? You already got a chance for this job, right? How can you not accept it? Are you going to stay jobless and wander around the street begging for a job?

" Andien replied, trying to convince Lisa.

"The problem is they want to put me in Bekasi. They offered me a position as an accountant at the hotel owned by the company where I was applying. The hotel isn't really bad, it's just that it's far from my mother's house and the pay isn't as much as in here,

" Lisa continued.

"Well, just take it! You shouldn't waste this chance. Even though the pay is not much, the problem is you still have to support your family. Don't let yourself regret it later,

" said Andien, still trying to convince Lisa.

Lisa hesitated a little. She frowned while thinking and considering. Andien's words had some truth in it, it was very difficult to get a job in Jakarta these days. But if she took this offer, she inevitably had to move to Bekasi and her opportunity to visit her mother would be reduced.

In her heart, Lisa was a little reluctant to move to Bekasi, but in order to provide for her family, she had no other choice.

"Listen to me. As your best friend, I won't let you fall. I know, moving to another city from where you were born is going to be hard, but it's for the sake of your family. It doesn't matter whether the company pays you a lot or not, just think about it. Maybe you have to work in Bekasi first but who knows if there will be another job offer with better pay someday? No one knows what lies in the future, right? So just take it, even though I'm a bit sad that you'll have to move from here,

" she said, patting her friend's back.

"But it doesn't matter! We can still make time to meet!

" Andien added, patting Lisa's shoulder.

Her words just now had some truth. Lisa was faced with a difficult choice, but for the sake of her family, she couldn't help but accept the offer. It was not certain that Lisa would get another job if she refused to work in Bekasi.

"But we are going to be far apart. I can't possibly stay here, there's just no way I'm going back and forth from Jakarta to Bekasi for work. I don't want to break my body!

" Lisa sadly said.

"It's okay, just move for your family. You don't want your family to starve, right? This is your duty.

"

"Then what if I move to Bekasi?

" Lisa asked softly.

"Hey, I'm already grown up like you. So far, I also live alone in Jakarta and am fine. You don't have to worry about me. It's sad that I can't hang out with you often, but what can I do? The important thing is that we can still meet, although not as often as now,

" Andien replied bluntly with a smile blooming from the corner of her lips.

Hearing what her friend said just now made Lisa's eyes water, she immediately hugged her tightly for a long time. Without realizing it, Lisa's hug made Andien's eyes also tear up.

"Thank you very much, Andien. You've supported me so far! I will really miss you!

" Lisa said while shedding tears.

"Never mind. For the good of your family, you have to go to support them,

" Andien rubbed Lisa's back until her friend returned to calm.

"Promise to always send me news, okay? Even though we will be apart later, you are still my best friend,

" Lisa said, sobbing.

"Hey, it's okay.. I won't leave you as long as you don't change your attitude towards me. I'll always send you some news,

" Andien replied, smiling.

Lisa then wiped her teary eyes. She was silent for a moment then closed her eyes, trying to calm her heart.

"Would you like to go to the Sky Lounge and send my greetings to Dimas? I haven't contacted him for a long time. He also seems to have changed his number,

" Lisa said suddenly.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely tell him,

" Andien answered.

"I pray you can get a job soon, okay? Don't be discouraged. I'm sure you can do it!

"
