Joya

I am right now standing in front of The Ahmed Company. Like it's not that huge building but big enough. Without further due I went in.

I asked the receptionist about the interview. And she told me to go to the second floor.

So I went there. I saw some people was also seated there. So I also took a seat.

After sometime I saw a man getting out of a room. If I am not wrong he will be like 23 or 24 by age.

He stood in front of us and told us that the interview will be start in a minute.

Then he called a girl's name and told her to go inside that room. I mean office.

After sometime that girl went out. Then that guy called my name. So I prepare myself and knock the door. From inside a male voice told me to come in.

So I opened the door and entered. I was admiring the office until I saw him. HIM.

What is he doing here? So, I was right that this is his company. Shawn Ahmed the Ceo of the Ahmed Company.

I was a little bit shocked but I managed myself and greeted him with a Salam.

"Assalamualaikum", I said.

He looked at me for a second.

" Walaikumus Salam. Come have a sit.", he said with a straight face.

I went there and have a seat. He was looking through my CV. He was acting professional so was I.

"So Introduce yourself.", he said.

"My name is Joya Khan. I am from Purscar city across the country. It's a small town. However I have graduated in the Marketing department. So I think I will do my best in this position in your company. Thank you.", I said confidently.

He was attentively listening to my words.

"Okay. But why should you think I will hire you?", he said.

"Sir like I said I have graduated in this subject with a good percentage, if you have seen my CV. Again I need this job for my self Independence also. If you hire me I will make sure that I will be giving my best to profit this company.", I said.

He then thought for awhile.

"Okay. Ms. Joya we will call or email you if you have gotten this job. You can leave now.", he said.

"Thank you sir.", I said and proceeded to the door to went out.

Then he, "Umm, Ms. Joya?", called me.

I looked at him,"Yes Sir.", I said.

He thought then he said, "No, no. You can go now."

Weird right?

Whatever I went out and went to my second destination. The rented house in front of a forest.

I took a bus and went there with the help of google map. After 30 minutes the bus stopped in the bus stand. I went out.

As from the google map instruction, The house was 5 minute away to the bus stand.
Pretty good.

So I walked there. After 5 minutes, I saw a small house where it says that It will be rented. There was a bell. I rings the bell.

After some seconds, a old lady in her 70s came from the house.

"Yes? Who are you?", she said.

I first greeted her with a salam. She received it.

"Ma'am, is this house will be rented out?," I asked politely.

"Oh. Yes, yes. Darling come inside.", she said smiling.

Masallah how cute her smile is!

She told me to come inside. She leaded me to that house.

"May I know you name sweetheart?", she asked me.

"Oh, yes you can call me Joya.", I said.

She smiles. She then told me about everything in this house. What opportunity I will have. Honestly I knew all this becouse it was all written in the internet.

After sometime she asked me, "So Joya. Do you like this house?"

"I liked it.", I said.

"So, I think you know about the monthly rent right?", she asked.

"Yes. I know.", I said.

"Actually you have to pay one month rent beforehand for the commitment.", she said.

It was not informed by that before. It's not like I can't pay the rent for one month. I can even for two month. But then if I don't get that job what will I do?

I was thinking that then my phone ringed. I took out my phone. It was an unknown number.

"Assalamualaikum. Who's this?", I said.

From the other side, "Walaikumus salam. Is this Ms. Joya Khan?"

"Yes It is.", I said.

"Well congratulation ma'am. You got the job as a assistant manager at the marketing department in the Ahmed Company. "

I was shocked. I really got that job.

Alhamdulillah.

"Thank you ma'am. So when can I join?", I asked.

"Ma'am you can start from tomorrow at 9 am."

"Okay, thank you. ", after saying I cut the call.

Finally, I can rent this house.

"Ma'am. I will rent this house. And I will stay here from today on. Here is the one month rent. ", I said happily. I took out the money and gave that to her.

The old lady smiled at me.

"Yes sweetheart, you can. And you can call me Aunty. My name is Afrida. And also i will be living beside your house. Both of the house is mine. So if you need any kind of help. Feel free to ask me.", she said.

I smiled. After that she went out of the house. Finally, finally I will be living on my own. Hope Allah will help me from now on from every tough situation.
