Hi Love Come Back

chapter. 5. New Office

I wake up in the morning excited. Because today will face an interview at Grande Corporation. After breakfast and farewell to Aunt Gina, I also left by public transportation.

Embrace the feet with confidence accompanied by prayer in the heart. I hope to get through all the stages smoothly.

Being too excited I accidentally bumped into someone..

"Ah, sorry!" my bow did not dare to raise my head.

"Hmm.." replied the man immediately passed.

I saw from a distance the tall, full-bodied man walking with his strapping. Every now and then the worker who runs into him bows his body in salute.

I continued my steps towards the interview.

***

I was in a beautiful room with a shiny floor. There is a nice sofa set that seems expensive in the middle of the room, plus beautiful lighting. In front of him was a table occupied by a sweet lady. On the wall that is also shiny there is the inscription Grande Corporation.

I met the lady and asked..

"Excuse me. I'm Sally. I got a letter for an interview today. Can I meet the personnel section?" I said as I showed him the letter I received three days ago.

"Oh." he replied indifferently

"Wait a minute, you'll be called" he continued, with his eyes fixed on the computer.

"Thank you" I replied as I headed towards the sofa set in front of his desk.

I almost sat on that soft looking sofa. The lady then rebuked me.

"Eh!! Don't sit there dong! klo's waiting to sit there!" he said while pointing at the long chair in the corner of the room with an annoyed look.

"I'm sorry." I'd like to sit on the couch, and walk in the direction he's pointed out.

10 To 20 minutes later, came some people who seemed like the same as me to do a job interview today.

I met the girl next to me. Her name is Ann, she's from this town.

"Hi, I'm Sally.. You're going to take the interview today?" I said opening the beginning of the conversation while extending a hand.

"Hi Sally, I'm Ann. That's right, you too?" he said while shaking my hand.

"Yes" I replied, followed by a nod.

Ann is a friendly and fun person. We met for a moment, it felt familiar. We hope to be equally welcome in this company.

tok tok!

"Yes, come in" replied someone from inside the room.

"Excuse me Sally" I extended my hand to the Father in front of me.

"Yes Sally, I'm Rey, please sit down" Mr. Rey said as she shook my hand.

After going through all the processes. Today I was accepted as an employee as a warehouse administration staff at one of Grande Corp's subsidiaries in Agria city.

***

Six months passed, I was working in the city of Agria which is 1000 km from the city of Hope. Apparently, Ann was accepted and kept the same city as me. We live in the employee Mess provided by the company.

Agria is a beautiful little town in my opinion. The atmosphere is not too crowded, and consists of green hilly areas. It's good to treat my longing for my hometown.

The people in my new office are fortunately friendlier than Miss receptionist at headquarters. At first it made me worry that I would experience more than what that Miss did to me in this office. Thankfully, my worry did not happen.

Our boss here is Mr. Greg, he's a good-natured middle-aged man. Think of us as his brother or his friend.

Senior-senior at Sinipun quite friendly although firm. Especially outside the office, we can be familiar to go or eat together like a family.

Ann and Lazo were my new best friends while I worked here. Even so, I still often send letters to my friends in the hamlet of Asri Valley.

According to the last news I received, Mena is married. Kela already has a lover. Tom disappeared somewhere. The story of Mena and Kela, one month after my departure to the town of Harapan Tom went from our hamlet and there was no news from him.

I remembered the day I was leaving the hamlet of Asri Valley. At that time Tom seemed to want to say something, but undone it. I should have forced him to say it. Maybe he'll tell her the problem and not go missing like this.

But what to say. Everything has happened. Tom has freedom over what he wants to do.

For college, there hasn't been a single word on the scholarship that touched me. Maybe I'll try again next year.

Even if I don't get accepted into college on a scholarship. I'm determined to keep saving hard for my first time attending private college next year.
