"HELLO, Krillin? Are you going to visit Goku today?" Bulma asked Krillin as she talked to him over the phone. She is currently in her office and busy signing paperworks and checking out presentations sent by their clients.
"I was about to, but Master Roshi said that maybe it's not a good idea to do so, considering how he treats us right now." Krillin replied. He could hear Bulma fumbling on her computer on the other line.
"You know, I'm really worried about him. I have called him for like a thousand times but he never bothered to call me back." Bulma said as she scanned on the presentation that is currently running in her computer.
"Maybe he didn't get your messages." Krillin said, though he himself didn't believe that. He also tried calling Goku once, but the one who answered him was just a voicemail.
"Krillin, we both know that's impossible. There's no way he won't be able to get those messages. I think Goku's just trying to ignore us, and that is what I'm worried about."
"Bulma, we should try to understand. Our friend had been through so much pain when Cell attacked and killed Chichi and Gohan. They're the only family that Goku had known besides his Grandpa Gohan, and he loved them very much. I myself don't know what I would do and what I would become if that happened to me." Krillin stated. Like Bulma, he is also worried for Goku and he pities his bestfriend just like the rest of them does. Goku never deserved what happened to him, for he is a great man who had done nothing all his life but to protect others and maintain the safety of the Earth.
Bulma sighed on the other line. "I know that, Krillin. But seven years had passed. And in case you don't know, Goku is still acting as if everything just happened the previous day. Surely not even Chichi and Gohan wouldn't want him to act like that."
"Yeah, I get your point but we have to understand here that our friend had witnessed his wife and his son die. He had seen them meet their gruesome fates before his very own eyes. Do you really think it would be that easy for him to just forget everything?" Krillin pointed out.
"Seems like you're right..." Bulma concluded. "But just the same, I'm still worried about him. You might not believe this, but even Vegeta is worried about him as well. He doesn't directly say it, but he always asks me if Goku is coming over to Capsule Corp or not. He says that he wants to train with Goku in the Gravity Room, so he asks me to call up Goku. But that's where the problem arises, for Goku never answers nor returns my calls."
"Maybe we should just let Goku be.." Krillin said.
"We can't just do that, Krillin. Almost half of his life, Goku had Chichi to care for him and attend to his needs. How he managed to live without her for seven years is actually quite a mystery to me, but I am greatly worried that if this goes on, Goku would end up dying as well. He's depressed and heartbroken, we don't know what thoughts are exactly running through his mind. That's why we still have to keep watch over him, because he might do something crazy." Bulma explained.
Krillin became silent for a while as he pondered on what Bulma had said. "You have a point there, Bulma." He said. "But how can we watch over him and keep track of his activities? All of us are busy. You are the president of your company so you can't afford to just take your leave. Besides, you have Vegeta and Trunks. I can't do that for I have my family as well. Even Yamcha and Tien won't be able to do the job. They have their own lives as well. We have to find someone else who is qualified enough to watch over Goku 24/7 and attend to all his needs if that's what you're saying."
Bulma was about to answer but then someone knocked at her office door. "Hold on a minute, Krillin." She said, then turned towards the door. "Come in."
The door opened, revealing her secretary. "Miss Bulma, the applicants who are for final interview were already chosen. Should I ask them to line up outside your office now?"
"Oh, yes.. Yes. Please do so. How many of them are for final interview, by the way?" Bulma asked.
"We started from having fifteen applicants but now they are down to five. I'll go ahead and ask them to line up outside now, and by the way, here are their resumes." The secretary said as she handed several papers neatly tucked in a folder to Bulma.
Bulma took the folder from her secretary. "Ok, tell them to line up outside now and wait for their turn. Just give me a minute to review their profiles. I'll call them one by one once I'm done here." She ordered.
"No problem Ma'am." The secretary said as she left to call for the applicants who had qualified for final interview.
"What was that about?" Krillin asked on the other line. Apparently, he still hadn't hung up.
"Oh, my secretary told me that they have already chosen the applicants who would go for final interview." Bulma answered as she turned to the folder that her secretary gave her. She studied the resumes one by one.
"Applicants? Do you have a job opening? For what position?" Krillin asked.
"Yeah, we have a job opening for a company nurse. We need one here, since our current company nurse had filed her resignation letter a few days ago." Bulma replied.
"Oh.. I see." Krillin said. He went silent for a while as an idea slowly formed in his mind.
"Hey Bulma. You said you're looking for a company nurse, right?" He asked.
"Yeah, why?" Bulma asked as she continued to look at the profiles of their applicants.
"What if you hire two nurses? One for your company, and one for Goku? You know, since we can't do the job of watching over him and attending to him 24/7, then maybe you should hire someone else to do that job for us. What do you say?" Krillin suggested.
Bulma went silent as a smile slowly formed on her face. "I think you're right." She said. "I'll hire two of them, one for our company and the other one will be Goku's private nurse. Afterall, she would do nothing but to attend to him, but that would mean that she would also be staying with him in his house."
"She? You mean you're going to hire a woman for the job?" Krillin asked.
"Krillin, all the applicants here are women. And besides, what's wrong with that? Goku needs a private nurse who would be able to serve him and care for him just like the way Chichi does for him before, and I believe that a woman is more suited to do that job." Bulma answered. "Hey, I have to hang up now. I still have to do the final interview for these applicants. I'll call you later to give you an update." She continued.
"Allright. Bye Bulma." Krillin said on the other line.
Bulma hang up her phone and called for her secretary to call on the applicants who were sitting and waiting outside her office one by one so she could begin the final interview for each of them.
AMI felt nervous. There are only three of them remaining after the company president had started conducting the final interview. This is her first time to apply for work and if luck would be on her side today, this would be her first ever job. She had just graduated from college a few months ago and had just acquired her license after she passed the licensure exam for nurses held just last month. She had been truthful enough to put in her resume that she didn't have any previous work experiences but she is really hoping that she would be chosen or hired today. After all, she knew that she would still undergo training before she formally started her job as a company nurse, not to mention that the salary is very promising, especially for someone like her who wanted to be independent.
"Ami Mizuno. It's your turn."
Ami turned to the secretary who was standing on the door of the office where the company president was. She stood up and breathed deeply before straightening out her clothes, then she walked towards the open door to enter the office where her final interview would be held.
"Ami Mizuno?" The beautiful woman inside said as she smiled at her. Ami realized that the company president is not as old as she had thought before. And she is a woman, contrary to the image of the company president she had formed in her mind while she sat outside and waited for her turn.
"Yes, Ma'am. That would be me." She answered in a clear voice.
"Sit down please, and by the way, I am Bulma Briefs. I am the company president and I will be the one to conduct your final interview." The woman said.
Ami sat down on one of the chairs in front of the woman's table. She felt really nervous but she tried to hide her nervousness as best as she can. Minako had told her before that one way to impress employers and interviewers during a job application is to not show them that she is feeling nervous but instead try to project an image of self confidence. According to Minako, that would give the employers an impression that she is qualified for whatever position she is applying for.
"SO you are a fresh graduate, and you just passed the licensure exam last month. Congratulations on that, Miss Mizuno." Bulma said to the young woman in front of her.
"Thank you Ma'am." Ami answered.
"Since you are a fresh graduate, this would be your first ever job, I take it? Or have you tried working before?" Bulma asked.
"Do part-time jobs count, Ma'am?" Ami asked back.
"Yes, we could include part-time jobs." Bulma answered.
"I have tried working before when I was still in college, first at a restaurant and after my contract there ended, I applied for another part-time work, this time in a bakeshop." Ami said.
"Interesting. What job did you apply for in the restaurant and in the bakeshop?" Bulma asked once more as she secretly studied the girl.
"I worked as a cook in the restaurant and also as a baker in the bakeshop. I was always in the kitchen, Ma'am." Ami replied.
"Oh, impressive. I take it that you know how to cook." Bulma said as an idea started forming in her mind.
"Yes, Ma'am. During my summer break in middle school, I enrolled in some cooking classes because I really wanted to enhance my cooking skills. I just had the passion for it, I guess." Ami told Bulma.
Bulma smiled at her. "All right. Congratulations. You are hired."
Ami blinked in surprise. "I'm sorry?"
"I said, you are hired." Bulma repeated.
"Do you mean to say... Oh, thank you, Ma'am. Thank you so much. This is my first ever regular job and I'm thankful that you trust me enough to be able to fulfill all the tasks that will be assigned to me." Ami said gratefully.
"Yes, I am indeed trusting you, but Miss Mizuno, you will not be working here in our company." Bulma said.
Ami's eyes widened. "But you said I'm hired, right?"
"Yes, you are indeed hired. But not as a company nurse. I am hiring you as a private nurse." Bulma told her.
"A private nurse?" Ami repeated. When she read the advertisement on the newspaper about Capsule Corporation's job opening, all she read about was them accepting applicants for the position of a company nurse. There was nothing indicated in the advertisement that they were also looking for a private nurse.
"Yes. A private nurse. Don't worry, your salary will be much, much higher than that of our company nurse, since you will be working 24/7 and you will be staying in the house of the one whom you will attend to." Bulma explained.
"So does that mean I would be forced to leave my current apartment as well?" Ami asked.
"Yes. After we're done here, I'll ask one of our drivers to take you back to your apartment so you can start packing your things. I will have you fetched once more this afternoon, so I can introduce you to your ward." Bulma said to her.
"Oh.. So does that mean my job starts now?" Ami clarified.
"Yes, that's right. Your job starts now, Miss Mizuno." Bulma told her.
Ami felt overwhelmed. A few hours ago she was going through all the difficulty of applying for a job such as lining up on long queues, filling up various forms and completing various exams but all her efforts paid off, for here she is now, hired and about to formally start working in a few hours. With that, she left immediately after Bulma gave instructions to one of the company drivers so she could start packing her things and putting everything in place before she left off to formally start her job as a private nurse.
"SO how did it go?" Krillin asked when Bulma called him up once more.
"The interview went well. I already hired two of the applicants, one for our company and one for Goku to be his private nurse. I told the girl to go home and pack her things so she could formally start being Goku's private nurse later after I introduce her to him." Bulma replied.
"Really? That's great. At least now we found someone to take care of Goku for us." Krillin said. "What's her name by the way? And how does she look like?"
"Her name is Ami Mizuno, and she is a very beautiful young woman." Bulma said to Krillin in reply.
"Oh. Can't wait to meet her as well. So what made you hire her?"
"Well, she told me that she worked as a part-time cook and baker before because she had a passion for cooking, enabling her to also enroll in some cooking classes during her middle school days, and that prompted me to hire her. Of course, if she's going to care for someone like Goku, the first thing that she should know how to do is to cook." Bulma explained.
Krillin laughed on the other side. "I totally agree with you on that."
"I am just a little worried as to how Goku would treat her once I introduce them both to each other later. I don't know if Goku would be fine with the idea of him having someone to take care of him and attend to his needs." Bulma said with a hint of worry in her voice.
"Yeah, I agree. That could be one major problem. What if Goku rejects having her?" Krillin said as both of them fell silent, both of them thinking of the worst possible scenario when Goku meets Ami later and realizes that she is about to be his private nurse.
Bulma thought for a while before she spoke. "Let's just pray that he will react to it positively, after all it's for his own good.." She said though deep inside her, she had already formed several scenarios involving Goku and Ami as she thought of what might happen when she introduces them both to each other later. She also thought of the possibility of Goku rejecting to have Ami around, which would mean that she would have to take Ami back along with her when she leaves his house deep in the mountains.
I just hope everything turns out right.. Please don't let him reject Ami, Bulma thought as she let out a sigh.
