Life Of A Saturn's Agent: Leaving


“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.
