LEFT ON MY FIRST DAY

I walked into the room with my head held down, my heart had skipped many beats at the thought of getting sacked, why would i forget such an important thing on my first day of work, but on a second thought why wouldn’t i forget, like who in goodness name comes back from a trip and starts work immediately, when i entered he was already seated on his chair, he wasn’t facing me, immediately i entered his office he bombarded me with tonnes of question;

“were you not briefed about how i work?”

“how did you get the job as my personal assistant?”

“how old are you?”, he said sarcastically

He would have not stopped if i didn’t interfere, he was already reaching a thousand and one question so i just had to cut in;

“sir”, cutting in

“i am Park Sung Min and i applied for the job in your absence and what happened earlier was that, i....”

“you are what” cutting in

“don’t you know or did you forget how i love to do my things. I’m sure the person that employed you did not forget to tell you what to do”, he said out of annoyance

“sir i forgot”, i said feeling embarrassed

“you forgot? How old are you? If you cant handle your first task how in Gods name will you handle my office”, he shouted at me

“i’m sorry Miss Park Sung Min, you are not fit to be my personal assistant”

“you are fired”, he said with a calm voice

At that moment it felt like my world had come to an end, how could i get fired for just a single and petty mistake? I messed up big time, how would i cope with life if i don’t have a job. Before i could pull myself back together he had left the office.

Wow! I could not just bear that pain, i was too much, i knew what would help, a bottle of hot chocolate and burger, wait did i say “a” i meant a lot of it. I really felt pain in my heart but just had to bottle it up, i did not want to show it, i was sad there at tha office but when i got home, my tears knew no bounds, i’m such a big failure, how could i get fired on the first day of work, how would i survive this world without money, all this is hard to relate to but i never gave up, i kept sending my CV to other companies but no response, i went down on my knees one day and took a big sigh and remembered my uncles words when my parents died, the event of their burial flashed my mind.

I was dressed in a all black, as the rain kept on pouring, my lips were shivering and i could barely walk by myself, being the only child it was so hard for me to endure, my aunt kept on consoling me but the more she did the harder i cried, i could not still believe it, i could not still believe that my parents were dead until the burial was over, i went ahead to take a last look at them and i immediately broke down, i remembered my fathers words, he told me never to give up because i’m a girl and my mothers word kept on ringing in my ear, i remembered how she would drop me in school and always pamper me, there was nobody to do it now, i poured sand unto their graves and said my last goodbye with tears flowing down my cheeks, after all of that, my wicked uncle came to me and made me sign some papers which i guess were the property papers, i put myself together and just signed the papers, the next day my uncle and his and his wife came to my house and claimed the owners of the property, they sent me to an orphanage and when i was about to leave my uncle looked at me and called me a failure. Those words were bitter but encouraging because all my life i have always wanted to prove to my uncle that i can be somebody, that i can make it even without the help of my parents, but i guess those dreams have been shattered now, now that i was fired, i cant even add that cruel mans company name to my CV because i would be asked why i left the company and inquiries will be sort from his company, but not to worry, i never give up, i would find a job within a week,

“within a week i will get a job”, i said to myself

Day one, i went to this place called the Giant hubs, i never knew what was going on in there but i still went because i saw a vacancy board right outside the building. I went in and the pace ws so scanty, i wondered what was going on in there, i saw a small bell at a table that was meant to be the reception, i rang the bell and no one answered, it was a very small building so i just walked into a room and what i saw was beyond my eyes, there were naked and he was on her, i said to them

“i would close my eyes, just tell me where the manager is, i’m here for the vacancy”, i said pretty much in a hurry

“who are you”, the man said furiously

“i’m nobody just give me the managers room”

“the last room to your left when you get out of this room”, she said

“okay thanks”, i said and left

That was weird how can such activity be going on at work, are they not supposed to be working or something.

I being a girl with zero knowledge of what the place was still carried on to the managers office. I got to the office and knocked at the door

“who is there” the manager said from inside the room

“i’m here for the vacancy” i said abruptly

“i’ll be out in a few” he said

He came to open the door and i went in, he asked me what i wanted and i told him the reason.

“i would have to check if you are capable” he said

Then he stood up from his seat and came closer to me and told me to stand up. I did has i was instructed, then he came closer and closer to me and the next thing he wanted to touch me, my father would always sing a rhyme to me when i was little and tell me never to forget, he said i should use it whenever a man or a boy trys to touch me, he would sing

“when ever a man trys to touch you way, kick his balls and run away”

And that is what i did, i kicked the mans balls and ran as fast as i could. Giant hubs, what a folish place, i went home after all that, i could not bare to go further that day in my quest of finding a job.
