Love of the Times...! // காலங்கள் ஓய்ந்தாலும் காதல்...!

Friendship

Me: Enough kidding me. Let's talk about you. What's happening with your crush?
Musi: Crush mine? You mad or what? I just forgot that...
Me: Ohh really?

Musi was lying and I could see that in his eyes. When our bestie is trying to hide something, we can easily sense that yeah? I did, I could...

Me: Okay. Enough is enough. Call that idiot and ask him to come back. I have important stuff to discuss.
Musi: Whom? Riky? He just left... and we are done with the meetings.

Me: I'm not done yet... (I shouted unlike anytime before)
Musi... are you sure it's us? I don't know. I miss ourselves. Aren't we faking around?
I don't wanna talk anything until you make a call and ask him to come.
Musi: But it's being too long since I spoke to him. I have no idea even if he'll answer my call...

Me: What the hhh hell..? Just call him and ask him to come. If he doesn't answer, I know what else to do.

I still remember it was within a few rings that Riky answered the call. They both were silent for about thirty seconds.
Come up, Ozi wants to speak to you. Musi said.
I guess he was expecting that call from one of us. It didn't even take five minutes. Riky had come back.

Riky is the fair smart guy of the gang since school days. There was no one fair like him. I could see his face blushed in happiness after talking to Musi.

Come sit here. I said and dragged the sofa towards me.

Me: Guys I wanna speak to you both. I don't want you both to speak in between until I finish what I wanna say. Yeah?
I looked at both of them until they shake their head gave me a signal that they're ready for it.

Okay, guys, I'm gonna tell you a small story that I have never shared with you.
"During my earlier days when I was hunting for a job, I might have attended more than Fifty to Hundred interviews. Once I remember, maybe that was one of the very first interviews I had faced. I was insulted..."
I still remember... I started tearing up when I said that.

With a stammering voice, tears in my face I was continuing to speak...
"I was insulted guys, just for the fact that my CV was not up to the standard. I didn't know anything about Curriculum Vitae. I went through few templates on google and I thought I could make my own style of a CV and I did.
I never knew that my CV which I made was completely wrong. I never had consulted anybody to get guidance on how to make a Job Resume.

I still remember guys, there were two people to interview me. They asked me who prepared this CV and I said it's me, myself. I said I wanted to make it in my own style. Then they looked at me like a joke and their response shattered me, unlike anything. I was insulted.

I don't wanna tell you what they told me...

I can tell you one thing. When I went inside that room... I had few qualifications and confidence with me. For an interview, you must have more Self-confidence than your qualifications. Only then you can perform better.

So basically, when I went inside that interview room I had my self-confidence with me...
but when I came out I had lost all my self-confidence and I only had my tears..."
All three of us were silent. We couldn't talk anything beyond. I could see both of them staring at me without knowing what to tell me.

"I only had my tears, my qualifications did never look great to me. I was that insulted just for the sake that I had prepared a CV for myself.

When I came out, I was in tears. I was continuously in tears for some minutes. I couldn't even peacefully cry. I was so immature to go through that tuff time and I had to run to the washroom. I went to the washroom and cried enough.
