Chapter 3 – Suprised
The officer who was there could only shake his head repeatedly. Angela burst into tears in front of Naomi and said she hoped her best friend would be accepted at the company. She did not respond to angela's words, and when it was time for Naomi to go, she asked permission for the girl to give way to her.
Naomi couldn't move because Angela was still trying to hold her body and hinder the girl's movement. But when someone close to Angela called the girl, he asked her to forget about her best friend because they would soon meet again. What Angela had done made the people there feel hampered, and she finally left after being released with a heavy heart.
Naomi was invited to enter and sit in the space provided. Those who became the interviewers felt strange that she didn't bring notes or writing materials when she entered. But after hearing that, she found it late and unprepared, and Naomi was ready to answer without needing it.
They muttered a bit and continued the interview this time. She managed to answer according to what she remembered smoothly until finally, the judge told the girl to come back after lunch. Naomi came out so relaxed, and Angela approached her sadly.
Those who have got the interview quota are welcome to come out and rest, but before that, she put the names of the employees there, followed by Angela, who almost forgot to put it down when she was grieving. Naomi invited the man who had helped her so that Angela would not burden her to go inside.
She was about to treat the man at lunchtime. But Angela whined because she wanted to eat with Naomi, and earlier, she had promised to pay for lunch to help her hold the elevator door for herself.
"It doesn't matter tonight. We continue the party for accepting workers at this company, and you can treat anything." Naomi said.
"How can you be so sure that we will be taken for granted." ask angela. She threw the question at the girl for helping her provide a cheat sheet for today's interview. Finally, they went for lunch close to there.
At 1 pm, the youths who had completed the application stage and no one else would be left behind finally found the office where they would work for several months. During the three months as the holder, they will be given a position by what has been passed.
Naomi, angela, and the man who had just met each other were standing on a noticeboard outside the office. This meant that entry and exit were not blocked by the crowd of many people who just wanted to see if they would be accepted, but the company let nothing wrong happen, so they kept their guard up outside.
As expected, Naomi was ranked first and held the first division for three months as a trial worker in that company. This time, the position was top-notch, and many people were aiming for the job. Angela shouted because she had been accepted at the company, but when she asked about Naomi's position, she found she was the furthest away from her best friend.
"Congratulations on your position, Miss Naomi," Taka said.
"Thank you." Answer the girl shyly. Angela intervened in their conversation, and the guards and officers there announced they could work starting tomorrow without having to come drunk because they had too much fun.
Those who heard this laughed, and some who did not like the decision went home with a gloomy faces. Those who have been accepted receive guidance and work placement according to the office that has been prepared. Angela invites Naomi after work to have a party according to her invitation earlier. She nodded in agreement as the workers placed the places they would use while working there.
She limited her drinking activities even though Angela insisted on holding three rounds to enjoy the party. The accepted workers also attended the event, which took place suddenly until Naomi finally went home first, using the excuse that her brother needed her.
Naomi came home right when it was 8 pm. She didn't want to stay up all night because she was still trying to understand what had happened today. She entered a room that was only the usual size. Naomi's view is fixed on an hourglass on the table. She was startled by lightning that suddenly struck loudly, and a familiar shadowy figure appeared by the window.
She was sure the man using the umbrella had done other crazy things to come to that place. The suit is neat but not tight. She is curious why the man doesn't get wet even though the room's balcony is raining. He turned his body and walked as if nothing had happened, but Naomi's fear arose because a strange man entered the room.
He glanced at the hourglass that had moved, but the girl did nothing as agreed. He withdrew to explain Naomi's situation because she was cornered whenever the man approached her. Naomi couldn't get out quickly because the door was immediately locked, even though she had just entered and done nothing.
Thoughts floated when she tried to take a cell phone to call someone. It floated toward the man. He said nothing but pointed the stick in his other hand toward Naomi as if dominating his actions. Not long after, he pointed at the hourglass and the little boy who reminded him of that time suddenly appeared from behind the man's shadow.
"Do you still want to die?" asked the little boy, now his figure had changed, but Naomi realized she was previously a scary girl. She stared at the man who protected her from the light and forced Naomi to leave.
"Shouldn't we give him a chance?" Said the man, but a moment later, they argued in a minor argument, and Naomi almost fainted because her head could not accept the situation. As expected, she finally fainted, and they left leaving her there alone.
