Our Scars Written

1

Tit.. Tit.. Tit.. Tit..
Who else sounds like this, other than that stupid alarm? But I won't blame that shit because it was made to wake people, right?
I rolled my eyes and quickly wake up to get ready for my very first job.

I stood up and starting to grab all of my stuff for my face cleaning. I don't use any skincare because I'm naturally have clear skin.
Furthermore, I have that kind of sensitive skin if I  use any cream for my face. If there are any pimples coming out, I will just wash my face using clean water and go to sleep early as possible.

Once I'm done with showering myself, I quickly dry my body using clean towel and wear my uniform. I glanced at my own reflection and calm myself. I was a little bit nervous but at the same time, I was very excited.

I smiled to myself. I did it.
It was a very hard for me to survive few years ago.  Too much work, too much rude words, and strict people I've met and received. But hey, look at me now. I did it.

Doctor.
My very first big achievement.
Back to few years ago, I have wasted my teen enjoy age, to just study hard. I deleted all of my social media, and less playing my phone. I rejected many boys, and even rejected the family trips. They had enjoy, but I didn't.

My friends?
They all are married and even have kids. They married in such 19+ age and that's a very young age to get married. With God blessings, I could avoid all of that by keep rejecting and praying.

Study. Study. Study. Study.
That's all what I have done to be a doctor.
But hey, all of my efforts worth it.

All of my memories fade away as I heard my phone rings. I took my phone and smiled slightly as the caller was my father. I miss him and my family, even it has been only 3 weeks since I left them for my job. I swiped the green button up and put it next to my right ear. God, I miss his voice so bad.

" Hey, my only daughter! " He giggles.
" I miss you, dad! " I mumbled and he laughs.
" Do the best for your first day, you can do it! "
" Thanks, dad. I'll send you my uniform's pictures later, okay?
" Waiting. " He replied. I chuckled.
" I'll call you later, I have to do something. Send my regards to mom, David and.. " I paused.
"... whoever, whatever. " My dad laughed.
" Okay, bye! "
" Byebye! "

Tut..
He presses the red button to stop the conversation between us. I smiled.

ABCD.
Alliana, Bennedict, Charlotte, David.
That's my every family's name.
Although David is the oldest, I still got the capital 'C' first. Hehehehehhe.

My mom, Alliana, 39, works as a tailor. So everytime I got my clothes ripped, I'll just ask her. How lucky I am.

My dad, Bennedict, 40, works as a science teacher in primary school, where I went to back then I was still there. Everytime I became naughty that time, he will be mad or just gives some advices.

My brother, David, 23, works as a math teacher too, but in secondary school. I can't imagine, he must be living in such a hell place. He told me that everyday, there'll be letters and gifts on his table. I mean, my only brother have such cool and perfect face, so why not?
I laughed everytime he come back home with colourful bags. I got foods, freely.

I sighed. My smile faded away.
Now, as we all are kinda busy, we don't have much time to spend together. But, I believed that one day, we will.

I sat in front of the mirror. I tied my hair into a low ponytail. Well, I looks good with this style.

I took my bag of make-up. I don't use any make-up to much, so I just use my lipbalm. My both cheeks are naturally blushing, so I don't need to wear the blusher. Once done, I stood up and took some selfies. I poses and after that, I sent those pictures to my family.

I grabbed my lipbalm, my purse, my small note book with pens, and lastly my phone and put it inside my black sling bag. I wore my white sneaker with low white stokin. I went outside once I was done locking the front door. I make my way to the nearby bus stop and wait for the bus to come.

I felt relief as the bus came. I won't be late on my first day. I smiled.

I went inside the the bus. There was almost no more seats but thanks God, there were. But in the back. I sits and looked outside.
'I'll be living like this until I stopped working'.
I said to myself. It would be better if I have liscense and a car.

I was enjoying the sun rise view but then I heard someone at the outside asking the bus to stop, while running. I quickly speaks loudly to the driver.

" Uncle, stop this bus! " , And it immediately stops. The man with same uniform as me rushed came inside after having talks with the driver. He sits next to me. It was very awkward so I pretended like I was sleepy, but actually I wasn't.

" Hi? " His deep voice making me turned facing him. I love men with deep voice. It's.. attractive.
" Me? "  I asked him back. I still could hear his fast breathing, maybe because of tired running earlier.
" Thank you. " He smiled.
" It's okay. " I replied his smiles back.

The silence was just going to start but then he speaks again. I looked at him.

" Don't tell me.. today is your first day working? " I'm sure, he saw my uniform.
" I am. " I replied. His eyes goes widened.
" So.. we.. two.. together? " He seems shocked.
" I guessed. Well, I just realized. " I giggles.
" Hoah, new friend! " He giggles too, making me laugh.

" So, your name? "
"Jake. Yours? "
" Charlotte. "
" Nicknames? "
" Chae. "
" Cool. "
