WHY LOVE
13. Now You're Getting Close

Ten would-be secretaries were already sitting in the waiting room in neat suits. They consist of three men and 7 women. Some are acquainted with each other but there are also apathetic, just fun to play the hapenya. Undeniably, Suci felt his heart beat faster feeling the tension. He felt his rival had better abilities than him.

His gaze was fixed on the tearing of the paper that was scattered under the trash can. Suci went to pick up the trash and put it in the trash until there was nothing left.

Trings.

Suci opens the chat when he hears the sound of a notification. As if it was realized he had not turned off his hape, fortunately the interview had not begun.

"Don't be nervous! Brother sister sure can. Spirit Deck 💪"

Suci was relieved after getting motivation from her brother. He also turned off his hape to make himself more focused. His eyes closed, repeating the recitation of the prayer of Moses.

Robbish rohlii sodrii wayasirlii amrii wahlul 'uqdatam millisaani yafqohu qoulii...

"O my Lord, stretch out for me my bosom, and ease for me my business, and remove the rigidity of my speech, that they may understand my words." (QS. Thaha 25-28)

One by one candidates began to be called, Suci got the sixth turn. With a calm natured he conducts interviews, answers all questions testers in Indonesian and English, continued tests of microsoft and other mastery skills. All candidates get the same exam.

The tight selection has left three of the best people, one of them Sucita. Seven people who failed had to go home with a lunglai. The determination of who will escape will be determined after the break.

"Sir Nico, the three best candidates have already been chosen. Now it's time for Mr. Nico to give you the final exam." Secretary Yola submitted the report of the test results to Nico.

"Alright, you should come with me. Because I'll need your consideration too."

Nico left his study followed by Yola, they headed for the interview room. Now in the room was increased to four testers plus Yola who accompanied Nico. They sit in a long table facing three of the best prospective secretaries who will be tested again.

The first and second candidates have been called, the last test is faster because it answers only the questions of the examiner. They immediately sat on the right and left sides, no longer out of the room. Karema finished interview the last candidate will be announced immediately.

Nico's gaze was transfixed as the last candidate entered, the woman smiled sweetly and bowed her body saluting all the examiners.

Nico felt something was wrong with his vision. "There's no way he's here..." Nico sat up, repeatedly blinked his eyes feeling that this might be a hallucination.

"Thank you for the question, sir. I won't mention the numbers, but I'll ask the company to give me a nominal salary according to performance, ability, and loyalty." The saint answered confidently.

"Next question from Mr. Nico, please Sir..." Yola reminded Nico who was focusing on reading the CV file belonging to the holy.

Nico straightened his body, momentarily neutralizing the soft sighs that were creeping as his eyes skimmed with beautiful, clear eyes in front of him.

"Holy Sister, why did you resign from the previous company ? Though the results of the recomdation say your value A." asked Nico with his distinctive voice full of authority.

"Okay, I explained Sir. I was forced to resign because I had an accident that made my mobility hampered and unproductive. And now my condition has returned to normal after a period of treatment and therapy for approximately five months. I chose to apply here because my domicile is now in Jakarta." Suci conveyed his reasoning with an eye view that was difficult to interpret by Nico.

The Sacred Answer made Nico momentarily stifled and agitated. He touched his neck, which suddenly felt cold. "If he knew, I was the cause, what he would be.." Nico's inner fret.

Nico, Yola, and other examiners engaged in discussions to determine who was elected. All considerations are expressed, because all three candidates have the same capabilities.

Saints and the other two candidates threw smiles at each other waiting for the decision. They looked relaxed after going through the stages of the exam.

"Sister Nanda, Maya, and Suci, you are all compatible to be a secretary in this company. But all we need is one person." Senior examiners began to describe the results.

"And of the three of you there is one person who has a plus. He has a high sense of empathy for the surrounding environment. He was willing to pick up trash nearby, which we were actually deliberately sowing as one form of responsibility test. For that, congratulations to CUT SUCITA sister YASMIN AL KATIRI you were elected secretary, accompanying marketing manager Mr. Nico melviano."

Sacred stood nodding her head and greeted all the examiners including Nico. Sacred Feelings were mediocre, he only shook his hand a sign of respect and thanks for choosing him.

But another with a taste that reached Nico's heart, a subtle sigh crept back to his chest as his hands touched each other in a handshake.

...A planned moment is not held even to the point of being tired.......

...Precisely the unthinkable, now approaching more beautiful...

...That is God's plan......
