"Captured by a White Skirt" (The Story of Yosef and Mari) - Chapter 3

Posted by Mia at 5:40 AM

Triggered by her broken-heart and her search for “the one”, Mari decided to loose weight and get in shape. Diet 101 was her drama. She thought that nobody would like her if she retains her flabby bod! She started eating healthy and changed her lifestyle, but things got only worst when she became too conscious. And because of that, instead of becoming in shape, she got Secondary Amenorrhea and got thinner.. and thinner.. and thinner.

For Yosef, he got so consumed with his work. He got so consumed, but his love for Rhianne is still within him. With Rhianne working in another City, Yosef still finds time to continue pursuing her. However, Rhianne is playing hard-to-get, and that spoiled up Yosef’s enthusiasm. He’s starting to lose hope and entertained thoughts of finding another girl. But at the back of his mind, he would like to give it a last shot with Rhianne.

On her senior year in college, Mari was obliged to go through an apprenticeship. And with the help of her classmate, Mae, she got accepted at CPV and Associates- a budding audit firm. At first she was scared, but when she started working, she was glad because her “bosses” were so welcoming and kind to her, except for one named Yosef. The first time she saw him, she thought: ”He’s cute! Sayang lang, medjo nerdy!” . Whenever Yosef comes around, cold air quickly gyrates down her nerves. And as much as possible, she doesn’t want to have any close encounter with him. She knows it’s inevitable, but she’s trying hard to avoid him.

Not until one time when both of them arrived so early in the morning. She had no choice but to greet him with a sweet “Good Morning Sir”, with matching smile on her face as a sign of courtesy.

“Hi! Good Morning”, he replied with a little fake smile. Then silence followed. After a few minutes of silence, Yosef tried to break the silence by asking, “are you really required to do some On-the-Job Training?”.

“Yes sir, it’s part of the curriculum”, Mari answered the query.

“Ah, okay. I just wondered because we don’t have that in our school”, Yosef commented.

“Really sir?! Maybe because your school is a university and mine is not! Hehe!”, Mari reasoned out once again.

Then came Mae, breaking up the conversation between Yosef and Mari. After Mae’s arrival, neither of them attempted to open another conversation again. Then, Mari felt that Yosef was irritated with their presence in the office. But she didn’t care because she knew her very reason to be in that office is to become an apprentice and not to please Yosef.

Because of that encounter, Mari got more conscious in the office, especially when Yosef is around. She tried her best to do the things she is asked to do so that her working relationship with her other bosses would be good. But as to Yosef?! She does not care!
