Chapter 11 - why I am so useless

Rehan says,

"After all this effort, I didn't get the job. Do I have no skills at all? Can't I even do a simple job? It seems like I'm destined never to have a job. What will I tell Grandpa when I get home? He has so much hope in me, expecting me to get a job. What will I say to him now? I don't even want to go home. I'll just be a burden to Grandpa. I feel like I have no talent. I can't even protect anyone from a beast."

(At that moment, the young man approaches rehan and says.)

"Are you the same person who accidentally bumped into me?"

Rehan says,

"You're the same guy. What are you doing here? Didn't you get the job either? Seeing you makes me feel even more down."

(The young man sits down next to rehan.)

The young man says,

"Yes, I was rejected from the job interview too."

Rehan says,

"But why were you rejected from the job interview? I saw that you were well-prepared and had many important documents with you."

The young man says,

"I was rejected because of my age. They said I'm not old enough to work yet. But why shouldn't I be able to work? Oh, I'm starting to ramble again. Why were you not selected for the job?"

Rehan says,

"I was rejected for many reasons. They said I have no experience and that I wouldn't be able to handle thesays

Rehan says,

"Why would you want to work at such a young age?"

The young man says,

"Family problems."

Rehan says,

"Okay, I understand. You don't need to say more. Everyone has their own problems in life."

The young man says,

"It seems this was your last chance for a job interview."

Rehan says,

"Why did you say this was my last chance?"

The young man says,

"No, I thought you might be an uncle. That's why I said it might be your last chance."

Rehan says,

"I might look like an uncle, but I'm not that old. This was my first job interview, and it just wasn't meant to be."

The young man says,

"I thought you were older, but you're actually my age. How old are you?"

Rehan says,

"I'm only 25 years old. My name is rehan."

The young man says,

"I'm 19 years old, and my name is Asahi. If you can't get a full-time job, would you consider a part-time one?"

Rehan says,

"Nothing in life is easy. I feel like nothing is possible for me. I'm a useless person. After this job interview, I have no hope of getting a job."

Asahi says,

"If I were in your place, I wouldn't give up after just one attempt. I'd keep trying. We can't expect to get everything on our first try. If it doesn't work out, we'll try again, or keep trying until we succeed."

Rehan says,

"You're right. If I give up so easily, I won't achieve anything in life. I need to try again."

(Rehan thinks to himself, "If I give up now, what will I tell Grandpa and Gogo? Just because I didn't succeed this time doesn't mean I won't succeed later. I'll find other opportunities.")

Asahi says,

"That's the spirit. I've decided I need to learn a lot more about the job market. After that, I'll go for another job interview."

Rehan says,

"So what will you do now? Will you go home, or will you prepare further for the job interview?
