“Good afternoon ma’am, I’m here for the transport.”
Triel handed her documents to the lady at the counter.
After looking t
the details, the lady swiped her ID card and typed on the keyboard. Triel
wanted to see what was on the computer screen but it was blocked from her view.
“Weird…” the lady
at the counter said.
Triel was going to
ask what was it about but the lady was busy typing again.
A while later, she
handed back the documents to Triel.
“Your profile
won’t unlock. You have to go back to your officer. I don’t have the authority
to do unlocking. Next please.” The lady said and went back to her work.
Weird… why was she
denied entry? Taylb had given her all the documents… had he forgot to unlock
her profile? No, he wouldn’t be such a careless person… She had updated her
file regularly too… what went wrong?
Triel then went to
Taylb’s office.
Inside, Taylb
looked at Triel, his eyes show no emotions. They talked a little…
“Do you want some
tea?”
“No, thank you.”
“I’ve looked
through your report from yesterday. It was good.”
“Thank you, sir.
Sir, I went to the transport section and they’ve denied my acess.
“Triel…” Taylb
dragged. He didn’t know how to say to her.
“Triel, I pulled
you out of the probation program.”
“What? Why?” Triel
couldn’t believe her ears.
“I pulled you out
of the program because there was another trainee with more experience here.”
“Who is it?” Triel
got curious of this person.
“He’s from another
department, from the administration. Triel, you will still have a chance.”
Taylb, even if he didn’t showed it, something pricked him inside when looking
at Triel’s disappointment.
“Really? When’s
the next selection?”
“In another 9
years.” Taylb said. He knew what she’ll say.
“Thank you, sir.”
Triel said, the magical sparkle in her eyes gone for that second.
“Triel left the
office with a heavy heart.
Back in her room,
Triel tidied her things.
What will she do
now? She couldn’t stop thinking. Where does she want to go? Suddenly, she
didn’t know what to do. For once in her life, she was lost.
After putting her
things into boxes, an envelope in hand, she went to Taylb’s office once again.
“Are you sure?”
Taylb asked while receiving the resignation letter.
Triel nodded.
“What are your
future plans?” He asked the girl.
She gave him a
smile as an answer, chasing the grey atmosphere away.
“I see you have
something in mind.” Taylb felt happy to see her smile, even if he didn’t show
it.
“Thank you, sir,
for everything. See you next time. Bye!” Triel beamed. She has a plan now and
she’s feeling very good about it.
Outside the
company, Triel walked while carrying her belongings. The things were heavy, but
bearable. Her eyes were searching, her head turning here and there, towards
each shop that was on the street.
“There it is.”
Triel thought as she stopped walking.
She dialed the
number that was on the wall and waited for the other end to answer.
“Hello?” An old
man greeted.
“Hello, sir, may I
speak to Wril?” Triel asked.
“I am Wril. Is
there anything?”
“I’m now in front
of your shop. I would like to purchase it? Along with the second floor?”
“Sure, we shall
meet at the coffee shop opposite? The Breeze Brew? I will be there at about
1.30 afternoon.”
“Okay, sir. Thank
you!” Triel then ended the call and crossed the road to the shop.
Inside Breeze
Brew, Triel took a table and ordered a freeze-coffee. Still an hour before Wril
comes, she took out a novel and read it.
