She walked out hopelessly. She knew that she didn't deserve this job. She had never done so bad in her interview. She couldn't face him. She remembered the day when she saw the job ad in linkedin. She suited the profile. The pay was good. It would meet all her needs. But he was the only reason that she couldn't work.
She had applied the job though knowing the fact she couldn't face him. But her desperate need made her apply the job. She felt that she could face him. Unfortunately she developed cold feet even before she met him.
Fear can even make strongest go down. However it depends on one's way of facing fear. She wanted to leave. But the HR had kept her waiting. She knew the results. She was rejected. She didn't understand why the HR kept her waiting. These formalities! It could have been done when she had left.
The HR had appeared again. But this time, she was not alone. The HR was with him. He had changed a lot. He looked more organised and smart. He wore grey suit. His hair was neatly combed. His face was clean shaven. What startled her was him wearing the watch she had gifted him years back.
Strange! He hadn't removed the watch yet. He wore a poker face. Unlike those days, when he used to smile sheepishly. She searched for the smile that ignited her heart, She was about to leave. He stopped her. "There is one more round, please wait.", the HR said.
Dhriti was irritated. She wanted to go. She had another interview to attend. The HR left her with him. He spent few minutes to let everything to settle. The silence occupied between them. he words took it's time to arrive.
