The Career

Chapter 3

The clock was 9 in the morning. Today there were no lectures, Marvin opened his phone and saw the notification that came to his phone from last night. It turned out that the high school group was excited about the reunion that will be held tonight.

Suddenly, one of his high school friends called. Hello, marvin? "Said that someone. "Ohh yes, don" replied marvin. "Why didn't you join in the group? Tonight others friend invited you to meet up, did you come along? "Asked his high school friend named Doni. "Hmm, I already have an appointment" said Marvin trying to evade, even though he had no event anywhere today.

It was just that he was lazy to meet his high school friends who on average have become celebrities and were famous, unlike himself who was just an ordinary student. "Well, it's not really that good, the point was you have to come, we didn’t reunite often, right? how come you couldn’t spare time to meet us" said Doni.

Marvin was just silent and did not answer
"Hmm wait, how about I'll pick you up later, because I drove alone tonight "Asked Doni, still trying to persuade Marvin. "Allright, it's up to you". Marvin hung up the phone. He continued laying down again, it felt very difficult to live without popularity.

At 8.15 pm, marvin sat in the living room with his Dad. Not long after, a car horn sounded from outside, it seemed like Doni. "Dad, I left first.” said marvin. “Ok, be carefull” replied his dad.  Marvin walked and got into Doni's car. "Sorry, it took a long time, it was really stuck on the crowded road" said Doni breaking the silence.

"Chill, by the way the one who gathered a lot huh? "Asked marvin pleasantly. "Yes, it's okay you know, some of our high school alumni have entered the world of entertainment, bro, it's changed really now, it's really cool," said Doni, "I was also doing my business right now, try opening channel, even though the content was random and the viewers were not many, at least they could see, if I was also trying to find my own career, "Doni continued.

Hearing that Marvin was only him and did not want to say any more words. Let people see him as an ordinary man who was only famous and sparkling a dozen years ago, but not now. Now he's just an ordinary student who wasn’t have any popularity.

Arriving at the reunion location, marvin got down and walked inside. In fact, there were quite a lot of people who came to this reunion. Marvin forgot to saw the faces that had changed. Even though he only graduated about a year ago, their change was very fast.

"Marvin? "Called someone. He turned to the source of the sound. He tried to remember who this woman was "cal liss taa? " said marvin quietly, he was afraid of the wrong person. "Have you forgotten me? "Asked the girl. "Calista right? My high school friend who used to sit behind me" asked Marvin.

"Yes it's me, you look like a grandpa, you forgot everything" she answered. "Yes, as far as I know, you used to be black, now became be white" marvin joked. Calista laughed at that. "Let's sat, we talked here" invited Calista. "It's been a long time I didn’t hear about you, what were your current activities? "Asked calista. "Hmm, I went to college at Padjadjaran. How about you?”. Hmm I didn't go to college. Since graduated from high school, my friends and I just for fun making a team, at first we created a channel together, and we create content about cooking and music, well thank to God many people like it and now we have built management that we built ourselves. ” explained Calista.

"Oh, it’s cool, really cool to be able to create content together" replied Marvin. "You like singing, didn’t you? Why didn’t you create a channel? Who knows anyone will like it, right? "Asked calista. Calista's question made marvin think hard. "Hmm, I haven't thought about it yet, I would try then."  "What if you just joined our team? If you joined us, we would become the six of us, what did you think?" bargain calista. Again, Calista's question made Marvin confused about what to answer.

"Ahh, I was not ready yet, I was afraid it wouldn't match the target" replied Marvin. Calista replied with a smile. "Okay, if you were not ready, it's okay, but just thought about it, the opportunity wasn’t come two times" said Calista. Marvin just smiled. Calista changed a lot now, she was wiser and more mature than when she was in high school.

When he got home, marvin changed his clothes and immediately lay down. The reunion meeting didn't feel so boring, instead it was fun. Especially when he met calista he felt very interested in joining with Calista and their team. Without thinking, he took his phone and tried to contact calista.

"Hello?" replied calista. "Hi ta, it's me marvin" "oh yes vin, what's wrong? "Asked calista. "Hmmm, I wanted to join in your management" said Marvin. Hearing that Calista laughed softly. "I already know you were definitely interested.  okay, tomorrow, could you join in the gathering or not? "Asked calista. "What time? Because I had plan to go to college " asked marvin. "at 5 pm, could you? "Replied calista. "Hmm okay, let me know tomorrow" marvin said. After closing the phone, marvin closed his eyes. He hoped it would be a good start.
