Only one

It was one step closer but then I took two steps backwards.
That strange fate brought us closer but I turned it down.

*****
It was super strange and jaw-dropping to hear that the mister who offered me that job, was really really kinda beg me to accept that offer, and I was kinda almost said yes seeing his intensity but I was overawed when he told me that vacancy is for a clerk! He said he used to have two clerks but one of them resign when she get married. This means, the other one is YOU-KNOW-WHO! And I'll be the second clerk? I was gasping for air for a moment.

Soon after that encounter, I got to know that there are few bad gossips about me. It was just a few misunderstandings that can make others have a bad view about me. God knows how haywired I was. Luckily it ended with me solving that misunderstanding with the person directly, and that mister can't give me the job cause I am underage. I blew out a relieved whistle.

First, I don't think I can work under him. Second, I'm quite aware about bad mouths that might talk about me that me, who is no body suddenly jadi mandat besar. And, after that misunderstanding is settled, my only choice is to get back up which was my first choice after all. So, maybe this is it. :)

And for THAT, I believe, if fate could bring us that close, it could do it again some other time, right? It's not a once in a lifetime chance right? Insya-Allah kheir. :)
