FREYA

Half of my face was hit by sunlight coming from my window, near my bed. I woke lup when felt the light in my eyes. The wind blows my curtain so the sun's rays can't help but hit me. I looked up at the door of my room.

"What just happened?" I wondered the question to myself. I stretched out on my bed and saw the ceiling the room, at the same time I felt the sunlight hit all over my face.

I looked out in the window and saw it was open a little. I felt dizzy so I closed her eyes — it also brought drowsiness. I want to sleep more, to get rid of my drowsiness. After I closed her eyes, suddenly I phone rang.

I heard the ringtone of MY phone — so MY eyes widened and woke up in a daze. I grabbed it and so I quickly turned it off. I do I forgot something?

I read what was written on the reminder of my alarm clock, "Job Interview today," after I reads it, my eyes widened again. I slapped on my forehead as I remembered that today is my Job Interview.

"All of a sudden, why did I forget this? ... Urghh, I should need to prepare now." I said and stood up on my seat. I need to wash my body and prepare other things.

"All set."

I said in front of a mirror and smiled at it. "I hope I'll be accepted," I prayed in front of the mirror and sighed when I remembered— everything was I am applying for. All I need is wait for the company message, sometimes they say bluntly that I'm not qualified for the position in a company.

I thought and regret my course I've study for in college. I finished studying Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, until now I still not found anything a proper that fit for my position.

I shook her head and smiled, "If still I'm not qualified, I'll probably work at fast-food chains or sales lady," I suggested if I don't have choice anymore applying for the company. I nodded and agree about what I've suggested if I'm not still qualified for this position.

I'm sitting in the desk and in front of the Interviewer, "Tell me about yourself," she said.

I feel nervous while looking at the Interviewer, but I need to grab this and force myself to smile. "I'm Freya G. Ylana ... A graduate Academia State University, I am person who always works deligently in task. A person who is curious into something that is eager to learn to," As I introduce myself I feel my hand shaking.

"Why should we hire you?" She ask me. I can't help to swallowed and remembering the things that I've review for.

"Well ... if you hire me, it will be a great platform to showcase my skills, Whatever goals I set, I ensure to complete them within stipulated time," I answered and silently sighed. She nodded at me, I think that I answet it properly.

"Do you have any experience?" She ask me again. I felt stiff in my seat and was forced to nod then grin. She seems noticed my facial expression and then arranged her papers which lay on her table.

"Okay. I tell you honestly, we don't accept employees if you don't have 2 years experience, also you don't have any eligible where you can be hired quickly. So I'm sorry to tell you this that you will be vaguely accepted. here in the company . . . ” She told me bluntly, I lose my hope and bow my head

I regret to know about this and I couldn't help to be saddened about this. "But . . ." She added. I look at to her ang hoping that she would changer her mind. "W-what is it?" I incredulously ask to her. A middle-aged lady, wearing a eyeglasses that matching her sharp eyes that shivered me in fear.

"Wait for the call from the company," She said and made me dumbfounded.

I sighed, but she only smile at me, "Thank you, ma'am," I said and stood up in my seat.

I don't have a choice and I'm going to be jobless. I don't know if I have potential to out grow myself but I suggest to myself that I'm going to apply some fast food chain.

As I go outside of the company, I still bow my head as I walk in pathway. I was discouraged knowing that I was rejected again. I sighed and rode the bus station back to my apartment.

Inside the bus, I looked at out the window and feel saddened by what was happening. I sighed, "I guess ... I don't have a choice, I think I'll just apply for a saleslady or cashier. Maybe, there's still a big chance that I'll be accepted there."

Until I reached my home, I was still dumbfounded with despair. "Why life is like this to me?" I asked tearfully and don't know how will I live to earn money.

I opened her wallet and she saw a picture of her Aunt. I can't help but cry as I misses her. I kissed the picture hoping that Aunt would still by my side.

I had nowhere else to go for help. I'm living alone and depending on the funds left by my Aunt. She died last 2 years ago. Only the money she left and something I kept right now. Also, her memories within me. I also see the photo of my parents. I turned my gaze to it and just stared for seconds.

Since childhood I didn't met my parents, also knowing them. Only my Aunt took me in. But when she died, I feel hopeless and don't know what to do anymore to survive. I remember that last sentence she said.

"Please forgive me ... and treasured this picture-- picture of you parents," she said and before she lost.

Until now I was looking for her parents and hoping that I would find them. I shook my head at the same time, I hid my wallet back in my pocket.

As I walked back heard a man shout, "HELP ME!" My eyes widened and stiffened in my stance. I looked around to see where it came from — also watching the people passing by.

"SOMEBODY HELP— ARGH!" A man groaning again. So I couldn't hold back and I followed a shout from an alley. I I to take out her cellphone to call 911. Freya ran at the same time, I feel my heartbeat quickened as I thought about what would happen to me because of helping this man.

When I arrived, my eyes widened at the witness and dropped my phone holding in fear.

My phone's rang and caught the attention of the man standing there. He looked at me with a deadly expression. "A deadly raven . . ." I mouthed.

A man who's holding a knife and his eyes were pitch black, like an emotionless– or dead. Meanwhile on his underneath there's another man lying on the floor, also his blood spreads. I was shocked and covered my mouth as I watched someone in front of me, dying. The man grinned and said.

"You'll be my next prey." He said and pointed the knife at me.
