*****SHADOWS FROM THE PAST***** EPISODE 2 Few minutes later the other applicants walked into another door from the reception one after the other. Tina sat down praying within herself that she gets the job as she is the breadwinner of her small family, her ageing mother and two younger ones who are both in the university. Then it was her turn. She stood up and adjusted her Navy blue suit over a knee-length skirt and a white inner shirt. She stood up and marched in the way others had done. He open top shoe making sounds as it kisses the ground. “Oh Lord please be with me.” She said as she checked the map that was given to her to see the next line of action. She ascended the stairs and got into another reception on the third floor. Without much ado, she greeted the receptionists and stated her mission. “You are here for the interview right?” One of the ladies asked. “Yes ma.” Tina replied. The receptionist collected the first map that was given to her and handed her another one which shows every department on the third floor. “Good luck ma. My name is Rose.” She said. “Amen. I am Tina.” She replied smiling. Tina walked towards the door and greeted the second receptionist who only waved her hand. She got into the next hall and began to search for the personnel recruiting department which according to the map is in the laft wing. She entered into the department hall and met about ten workers busy with their systems. She didn’t bother to greet them, she pushed her way through until she got to a door with the inscription. ‘INTERVIEW COMMITTEE.” She pushed the door open after knocking for a few seconds and was asked to come in. She walked in to meet seven prying eyes staring at her. She didn’t allow that to disturb her, she walked into the hall properly. “Good morning Sirs and Mas.” she greeted the committee members numbering up to seven. They all looked comfortable and well to do. They are all in either their late fifties of mid fifties. “Young lady. How may we help you?” A woman who has a low cut asked. She seems to be in her late fifties. “Am here for the interview.” Tina replied. “Interview? In a committee cnference room? You are in a wrong room.” Another man in his early fifties said. “But according to the mad I was given, the committe room was marked as my next destination.” She argued. “You have to retrace your steps. Why don’t you follow the other applicants?” The low cut woman asked. “None of us knew the way around here. And I was directed by the receptionist to come here. I know she can’t mislead me.” Tina replied sternly. Then the head of the interview panel picked up his intercom and punched in some numbers. “She passed.” He said to whoever was on the line with him. “Congratulations. Go into the next hall. You’ll be told what to do.” The head of the panel said to her. She walked out of the room wondering what the man meant by the words ‘she passed.’ She kept her calm hoping that her curiousity would be solved when she gets to the next room. –to be continued–
