John was the last one to be called for the interview.Biting his nails in anxiety he thought of walking out of the office campus.This was his third interview and he really wish it would end with a positive outcome.His funds were running out and the only nice shirt he has is loosing it's color."I shouldn't have washed it with detergent" he thought and suddenly his name was called .He entered the room of panelists with a sheepish smile.
John had no last name.Weird , but his mother never wanted to give his drunkard father's last name to her only son .so he remained just John for his 23 years of miserable life.His mom bid her good byes to join the kingdom of God or that's where she wishes to end up in when he was just 19 years old.
Your parents death will leave you with no love or no one to love you. Especially without any inheritance left,you will turn invisible to your extended family.John had a brain ,enough to clear his bachelor's degree in a college without campus placements or a fan in a working condition.sometimes he felt the latter is the most annoying considering the long lasting summer which drenched him in his own sweat.
John's talent is to sing , or play some guitar which he had learned from his father's younger brother Joseph,who has nicely settled in the United Kingdom with his family .He once in a while calls him without his wife's notice out of guilt or just to check whether he's still alive.
A child without parents is often a burden rather than a responsibility or that's what Joseph's wife told him when he insisted to take John to live with them.Not my kid ,not my responsibility.Aunt 1 uncle 0.
He remained a zero after aunty has entered his life ,poor soul.John stopped singing and focused on hacking.He was not recruited as a hacker by a gang of thieves to heist a bank or steal diamonds .So he has to try his luck on ethical hacking, hoping to make a career out of it.
John played the game of 'complete the sentences ' with the panelists gaining their displeasure and annoyance, a deadly combination to make you jobless.
" Mr.John you've done so well in the previous rounds,we expected so much from you . honestly you'll never get any job if you're not able to communicate and how you could think about even appearing for this interview with your communication skills" said the grey haired man sporting a disgusting look in his eyes.John wish the earth to swallow him . He was filled with so much rage to shout at the panelists,but remember he's an introvert, he'll not shout or even raise his voice.he sat still in defeat.
" What's happening here ,it's been two days have you not found a single candidate ,I need you to find someone ASAP or you'll be fired" shouted a female voice in an intercom out of nowhere .
" But ,.."
"No ifs and buts can't you even do this one job , What's wrong with you people " ,again the lady shouted in a higher decibel .Blood drained from their faces and John was enjoying the sight.but he kept his face devoid of any emotions .
" We just now found the right candidate,will send him immediately" replied the grey haired man with a sly smile looking at John.
" John please meet the boss for your next round ,best of luck" said the same guy who just insulted him minutes ago.
John was shocked he wasn't expecting the outcome at all .He wiped his sweat clad palms in his wrinkled trousers .
" Now she'll know our pain,this guy will surely fry her brains out "
" Poor guy ,it's going to be the worst day of his life
He heard those voices as he left the room and walked forward,fixing his shirt collars and his stomach making weird noises of being empty for the past six hours .
