SOULMATES

Like being struck by lightning in broad daylight

That morning, was the time when we had to actually select the secretary who would replace me. Igun does not mind to keep paying me, as long as I teach the new secretary how to work.

"Ne, it's you who's calling to my room huh. The application file has not been collected yet?"

ask Igun.

I lupaaa..

I gathered all the files I put in my desk drawer.

Beres.

"Sarah, later if the applicants come, you give them their files, yes. And if anyone hasn't come, let me know. So I can report to the boss" I told Sarah, who was at the front reception desk.

Applicants who want to be my replacement today, there are 10 people, 5 choices from me, and 5 choices from Igun. We purposely split those 2 jobs, as those applying for almost 40 cover letters.

In front of the Igun room, there were already 8 applicants coming. They look neat, beautiful, like a secretary. I smiled at them. I hope there are some who want to work well. The files they took from Sarah's desk have returned them to my desk again, I read the file again.

One by one I called them to the Igun room. I noticed how they were talking, and resolved the questions they had to answer.

"out?" ask Igun. Time has shown at 2pm.

"Lu haven't eaten, ne. Later you will be angry with me, because you eat" he continued.

"Gue is not a laper. I haven't been able to file in from Sarah again." I said, shortly after

tock. tok.

"Excuse me, Ine, this is file 9, the guy just came."

said Sarah while handing over the file.

"Oh, you guys just bring in" I said while handing over the last file without me opening it first.

"Ready, bbak. Please come in" Sarah said to the 9th applicant.

"Excuse me, sir" said the suitor.

That voice, it seemed familiar.

I looked towards the voice. My eyes widened.

I can see my unpleasant face.

I smiled, hiding my surprise. Like being struck by lightning in broad daylight.

"Please" I said, inviting the suitor to the Igun table.

Igun noticed my movements that seemed uncomfortable and misbehaved.

"OKAY. I we're done. Later we call again, later Ineke will contact yes" said Igun.

"Thank you, sir. I hope many will be able to join here" said the applicant again.

I got up from my seat, and pointed it at the exit.

I just kept quiet.

Once at the door, and the suitor passed, I tidied up the files.

"What do you think, Ne? Of the 9 applicants who came today, who is competent for your successor."

I'm still quiet.

"Ne." call Igun. It turned out to be his third call.

"Sorry Gun. Sorry. I drank less time." And I immediately drank.

"Yes already, we eat while talking about the results yuk.. My stomach is also a real laper," Igun asked.

I immediately took my bag, and followed my boss's steps.

On the way, I was still silent and felt confused as well as astonished by the incident earlier.

"Lu why the hell Ne, like abis see a demon. Suddenly it's a pendiem." Igun started the conversation.

"Udah, the real driver, there will be nothing else" I said to my boss who was my friend.

We arrived at the chicken restaurant. Yes, because this place is quite close to the office and the cuisine is delicious.
