Firstjob Stories

Aastha's first job lands her in Ahmedabad - smack in the middle of adulting chaos. Dry chapatis for lunch, rushed mornings, and somehow still late to work despite waking up on time. All she wants? To survive the grind of office hours, burnt dinners, and crushing expectations. Karjun Shah runs Shah Enterprises like clockwork - sleeves rolled up, silver wristwatch gleaming, and not a hair out of place. Stern, composed, the perfect CEO... until he's home. There, he's just Kaju -the steady heart of a noisy, loving Gujarati household that refuses to let him be anything but human. Neither planned this. But Aastha keeps catching glimpses of his silhouette and falling a little harder each time. Karjun can't ignore the new drafter with too many things in her tote and an uncanny way of softening his world. Love doesn't always arrive with fireworks. Sometimes, it tiptoes in - slow, steady, and unstoppable. All images/pictures belong to their rightful owners. I do not own any. Thank you. Have fun reading! Started: 30/05/2025 Word count: 70,000

At twenty-two, Tedi Pratama arrives in Jakarta for his first office job with a quiet belief that nothing in life is meant to last too long. Friends come easily. Conversations stay light. Leaving has always felt simpler than staying. The city suits him. It moves fast, offers opportunity, and does not ask questions. People pass through each other's lives every day, leaving behind little more than impressions. Tedi learns quickly how to be part of that movement without letting anything hold him in place. A routine work assignment brings him into repeated contact with Alya Cassandra, a research assistant who lives by clarity, structure, and presence. Alya does not demand intensity or promises. She values consistency, attention, and the decision to remain. What begins as a professional interaction grows quietly through shared routines and ordinary days, without urgency or spectacle. But Tedi has a habit of turning people into memories instead of choices. He records moments instead of committing to them, believing time will eventually explain what he avoids deciding. Alya notices the pattern before he does. In a city where everyone is always moving forward, Footprints asks a simple question. Are the people we meet meant to pass through our lives, or are some meant to leave marks that change the direction we walk? This is a quiet emotional drama about first jobs, early adulthood, and the unseen cost of indecision. It is about the many people who come and go, and the one person who makes staying feel like a choice worth making.
