The Interview

Looking out the window, there are alot of high rises building and busy traffic down the roads under the beautiful blue sky and sunny morning. She walked back and forth in her opulent office, which was located at the largest commerce building in the country. Then, she decided to sit down behind the desk and rest her shoulder on her chair. She did some slow breathing, so she wouldn't hyperventilate and looked nervous. Over and over she looking at the computer's screen with pride on her face and tried to ignore the fact that her heart was beating double-time.

Her thought went back to the incident which was happen ten years ago. One night during her friend's 19th birthday party, her boy friend intentionally dumped her in the middle of the party. He made an announcement that he had a relationship with the birthday girl. That night she left the party with broken hearted and spent three awkward months in campus before she moved overseas to live with her cousin.

The mourns that she brought with her to the new land was not last for long. She accidentally found her new way of life after she hit ONE MILLION JACKPOT!!Then, she rent a fancy condo and study hard to pursue her degree in the university so that she could enrich her life even better. Time had gone very quick and life lend her a good job opportunity. At the age of 29 she has became a director of an oil company and the advantage for business traveling around Asia and Europe was unquestionable.

Suddenly the intercom rang and stoped her from her traveling to the past. "Yes, send him in please" she answered her secretary. Few minutes later, a tall young man in his thirties appeared from the door.

"Good morning, may I come in Mam" he greeted her with polite smile and confident voice.

"Yes, Good morning, Mr. Harry. My name is Anita and I've read your CV from my human resource consultant. Lets get to the point, the reason why you are on my short listed is that I think I know you"

"Am I fit to your requirement, Mam?"

"Yup, definetely. You are smart, young and you have the experience and ability that our company needed" Anita answered and rose from her chair.

"May, I ask something about your company policy?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Harry. You are not here to be an interviewer but I am and I'll ask you to speak when I needed. Well, Mr. Harry do you really can't regocognize me?"

"I'm afraid, I'm not Mam. I've been meeting alot of women and being interviewed by women bosses many times. I think this is my first time to come to your company and meeting you"

"Great! I'm so glad that you dumped me ten years ago. Now I know that you are a perfect idiot. Harry! Do you ever think that I couldn't sitting on an opulent office and having a good position in big company like this? Was that the reason you dumped me because I wouldn't get a good life as you know it?"

"Anita, oh! Are you my classmate when I was..." Harry didn't continue his talk as Anita shut him up.

"Shut up Harry! I have not done any plastic surgary on my face but all the big things around me had made you lost your memory, do I look better with all this things? Wake up to yourself Harry and I actually I'm not here to hire you but I rather want to show you, how good my life is. And I feel sorry, after I have read your resume. It seemed that God was not being so nice to you, huh?"

"Right, Anita. I know you are boss but I'm sorry... You have no right to point your finger and judging my life. If you got a good life, do enjoy it. I'm leaving!"

Harry rose from his seat and collected his map from the desk. His face looked red and mounted with anger,embarrasment and humilitation but he tried to hide it and make sure he wouldn't commit unlawful acts.

"Hang on...Hang on...! yeah, of course you can leave but I just let you know that all these years not even a second you ever crossed in my mind or even wanting you back to love me. It just happened to notice you when I was looking some profiles on HM consultant website. Any way, I'm going to get merried next week I wish I could invite you but I'm sorry... I'm afraid you going to ruin my day. Ok, now you may leave and thank you for coming!"
