HE IS ...

3-A new pillar

Rrrrrrrrriinggggggggg

The sound of the alarm interrupted his sleep. War slowly wake up from his peaceful sleep and check the alarm.

"Shit!!!! Its already 8!!! The interview is on 9. What I'm gonna do now??"

He started to curse himself.

It is his fifth job interview after his graduation. War never let those traumatic incidents affect his studies. He completed his graduation as a Commerce student with a great rank. He is maintaining his financial needs by doing different part time jobs. Even though James said that he will take care of him, War never agreed to it. He doesn't like to disturb other people. That's why he rented an apartment in order to give privacy to his best friends.

" Ahhh!! Its only 9:10 I'm not that late. Thank God !!"

He reached in front of a building. It has at least 6 floor. Its just a branch office. The head office is located in Bangkok.

Today War decided to wear a blue shirt with white strips and black pants. He knew that wearing a clean style will give more benefits when attending an interview.

"Breath in.... breath out..... You can do it War. Don't get worried. Speak properly. Never stutter. This job is yours. You can do it!!" he talked to himself by holding his emerald bracelet tightly. This bracelet was a gift from his mother. Maya made it purposely for her and War. No one in this world own that design except Maya and War. Maya gifted him by saying that whenever they wear it, they never feel that they are alone. At least they have each other. After Maya's death War took that emerald stone from her bracelet and put it in his own bracelet. Now both emerald stone connects his bracelet. So whenever he wears it that bracelet will give him more confident.

War POV

" Is War wanarat ritthirong here ?"

Finally it's my name and this is my time to shine.

I started walking to the place where the receptionist called my name. she gave me a pleasant smile before showing the interview room.

I slightly open the door.

"May I come in Sir ?" I politely asked.

"Come in" A man who was sitting in the middle answered my question.

It was a simple room where you can find an average sized white rectangle table in the middle of the room and 3 people sitting near to it. One chair was placed distantly to the table. So I believe that's the interviewee seat. There is a big monitor placed on the back wall. They also have a laptop placed on the table.

I walked into the room. I was in a great tension. That made my legs to prevent me from walking. So I used a little force to walk.

"So you are War yes?" A man who was looking calm and middle aged asked me.

"Yes sir." And I started to introduce myself.

"Let me look at your files then" Another person asked. So I gave my files immediately.

There were 3 people in this room. One look so serious. He never look at my face. After I gave him my files he started to study it. He also asked me few questions without giving me a glance. Suddenly it remembered me James. Actually James was my coach. He taught me how to behave at interviews. When he is giving me lessons he also never look at my face. So it kinda made me laugh, but damn I can't laugh on this situation. It will ruin me.

The another person who was sitting on one edge was looking very calm. He is the person who asked me to introduce myself.

And the person who was sitting middle....of course I recognized him in the first glance. He is the founder of Le Hardy Cosmetics. They have many products under their label. The company is also placed in top 5 at the global level. This is also one of the reason why I wanted to work here.

By looking at Mr. Sakdan I can say that he is a nice person. He doesn't ask me many questions instead he was examining the way I'm answering their questions.

"So tell me Mr. Ritthirong why do you want to work here ?" . This sound wake me up from my thoughts. I started to panic. Because this question asked by someone else and I couldn't find this person in this room. This was just a sound coming from nowhere. It was a loud sound so I couldn't find the source where this voice coming from. I started to look around. Tension evident in my eyes.

" Ha ha ha ...you scared him son. Just ask him with little calm"

Mr.Sakdan started to laugh because of my actions. So this was his son but I couldn't find him in this room. After few seconds I realized this was coming from the laptop which was placed in front of me. But when I look at the laptop I couldn't see his face. Because the whole screen was black.

"Sorry Mr. Ritthirong it's my son. Unfortunately he couldn't attend this interview. That's why he is talking through the laptop. I hope you can give him the answer." He gave me a mild smile.

I mustered up my courage and gave him my answer.

There is one thing about myself that I afraid. And I think the person who was giving extra attention to my file found it. I know this is the time where they give me a merely  'NO' sign. So I started to prepare myself. The person who come to knew about this give those files to Mr. sakdan. Ok... now this is the end. But I didn't do anything wrong here.

"So war you are an om"

"You're Maya's son !?"

I was prepared for the first question. But the next question asked by Mr.Sakdan startled me.

"Y..y..yes I'm" I started to stutter.

What happened next gave me chills. It shocked everyone included me in the room. Mr.Sakdan hurriedly stood up from his seat and come to my side then gave me a tight hug. I was totally confused. I don't know what to do now. I was totally blank.

"The world is really short isn't it?"

He grabbed my arm and invited me to another room. Before entering he told the other people in the room to take care of the rest of the interview and they nodded to his command.

He told his assistant to get me a cup of coffee as soon as I sit on a chair.

" Oh War I'm sorry I didn't recognize you. You look more adorable now." He tapped on my cheek and stroke my hair like he was seeing his own child after some years.

Now its started to make me freak out.

"Sir sorry to say. Do I know you?"

"How can you recognize me? You were only 2 years old when I met you."

"Oh I see". I replied. No words coming from my mouth other than this.

"War I know what you are thinking". He smiled to me before he continue.

"Maya me and my wife Salaya were best friends since childhood. We were living in the same neighbourhood. And we are sorry about your mother War. When Maya died we didn't have any courage to come and attend her funeral. It was more than a heart break for us. When you left your house we also tried to find you....but it was all in vain". I could see some sadness on his face.

"War.... Our Maya's son....finally I met you. I can't imagine how much Salaya would be happy when she see you. And now you are attending an interview!?" he started to get worry. "Do you have any financial problems ?. Don't hesitate to ask me son. We are here to help you."

He was so happy to see me. I can see that from his face. But being a burden nah I can't agree with that.

"Thank you Sir for your words. But I don't want to be a liability to any person. That's why I'm applying to this job."

"No wonder you are our Maya's son. I can see her inside you. Ok War, do what you like. But if you find any difficulties inform me huh? And one more thing call me uncle" he chuckled.

I gave him a sincere smile. Those words gave me support and I know from now on he will also become one of my pillar. I can see their love towards my mother. Oh mother you are very lucky to get this kind of friends.

So how is my story going guys? Is it good? I want your remarks guys. And thank you for your support!!!
