Interview

Taera walked over to where Yola sat. She was very nervous. She doesn't know why this is all a coincidence. Then Taera thought, Maybe this is on purpose she interviewed me because she knows I'm close to Ardilo, Taera thought.

Yola smiled when Taera sat in front of her. Taera sat nervously.

"Hi. Taera, huh?" Yola asked, holding out her hand.

"Y...Yes, Sis," Taera answered nervously, then she shook hands with Yola,

"Don't be nervous. Just relax," said Yola, then smiled.

Taera just nodded and smiled stiffly.

"Okay. Let's start the interview," said Yola in a friendly tone.

In Taera's heart, she thought that maybe many people like Yola's friendly personality. Taera nodded again. She's still nervous.

"Welcome to the Open Recruitment interview for SEB members of the Faculty of Economics. My name is Yola Permata, from the major of Management, level three. For the next 10 minutes, I will interview you."

Taera nodded once again.

"Okay, now please introduce yourself," said Yola, then smiled. A smile that has been confirmed can make a boy cocky.

Taera was silent for a moment. "Oh... yes, sis... My name is Taera Fanisa. Usually called Taera, from major of Accounting, level two," said Taera introducing herself.

"Okay, now I want to ask you a few questions," said Yola, then smiled.

Taera just smiled briefly. She's nervous.

"I saw that while you were in college, you didn't have any experience joining an organization or committee," said Yola while re-checking Taera's form.

"Yes, sis."

"Why? You're not interested in organizations or committees?" asked Yola.

"It's not that I'm not interested, Sis. Yesterday, I preferred to enjoy my time to focus on studying and doing my hobbies," Taera answered honestly.

"Oh, I see. What's your hobby?" asked Yola again.

"I like reading comics. Keep watching dramas. I also like to draw and paint," Taera replied.

Yola nodded while looking back at Taera's form.

"Okay. What is your motivation to register to become a member of the SEB of the Faculty of Economics?" asked Yola.

Taera looked confused.

"Not because the chairman of the SEB is handsome, right?" asked Yola again.

Because the chairman of the SEB is my future boyfriend, Taera thought.

"Not really. My motivation is because I want to learn about leadership and teamwork. I also want to hone my soft skills through this organization. I hope I can be accepted. I will try my best," Taera answered firmly.

Yola then smiled and continued her interview. Yola then asked about her commitment to the organization, the department she chose and her reasons, the experience of the committee she had attended in high school, about organization and leadership, and many more. The interview lasted about 10 minutes.

"Okay. Later there will be an announcement if it is accepted. Thank you, Taera," said Yola, then shook hands with Taera.

"You're welcome, Sis. I'll say goodbye," Taera said, then went home with Stefa, who was waiting for her at the exit.

"Where are you from?" asked Hyona.

Taera just got home around 10 p.m, because she went to eat and went for a walk with Stefa after the SEB interview earlier.

"After joining the SEB interview, sis," Taera answered, then ate the egg martabak that seemed to have just been bought. Still warm and delicious.

"Eh... why you eat this? That's my food reserve to stay up late working on revisions to my thesis later," said Sonia.

"Just ate one, sis. Very stingy," said Taera, then took another egg martabak that made Sonia glare at her.

"You registered for SEB? Since when are you interested in joining the organization?" asked Hyona.

"Yes... Since yesterday," Taera replied.

"It's not because Ardilo is the chairman of the SEB, is it?" asked Sella, who had just come out of her room because she heard their chat.

"Nope," Taera replied, trying not to look at them.

Moments later, Tae's phone vibrated. There was a call from Ardilo. Taera immediately ran to her room and closed the door.

"Well? What's wrong with her?" Sonia asked confused. She was still staring at the door of Taera's room.

"She's mysterious sometimes," Sella also looked at Taera's door.

Hyona took the opportunity to take Sonia's egg martabak, "I don't know why. Maybe she got a call from her boyfriend."

"Who's her boyfriend, anyway?" Sella asked confused.

Everyone looked at each other. Suddenly, they became suspicious that Taera had a boyfriend.

Taera picked up the phone from Ardilo.

"Hello."

"Hi, Tae. You're home, right?"

"Yes. Why?"

"It's okay. I just saw you taking part in the SEB member interview."

"Oh... Yes. I don't know if I will pass or not. But I'll just try. I've tried my best."

"I'm glad you want to try and always positive thinking."

"Hehe."

"Tae. I'm sorry."

"Sorry, for what?"

"At that time, I told you that we would often go out and eat together at the same restaurant at that time. I'm sorry we rarely see each other because I'm still busy."

"Oh... It's okay. I understand."

"Thank you, Tae, you already want to understand me."

"You're welcome. You just got home?"

"Yes. It's just arrived at the room. The interview just finished at almost half past 10 I think. Then there will be an evaluation for a while."

"Then you should rest first. You must be tired, right?"

"Yes. I was tired. But after hearing your voice, I think I'm tired immediately gone."

Taera's face turned red. She wanted to scream with joy, but it was already night.

"Okay, I want to do my homework first. If you don't have anything to do, just sleep. Don't stay up late."

"Okay. Enthusiasm to do your job."

"Yes. Goodnight."

"Goodnight."

Ardilo hung up the phone. Taera then lay down on the bed, "Ardilo, if this is the story, I think I'll fall in love with you. I love you, Ardilo."

Today is the announcement day for the acceptance of SEB members of the Faculty of Economics. Taera paced in her room because today is Saturday, and she has no class off. She holds his handphone. Occasionally see if there is an incoming SMS notification. She was very nervous. She wished she could escape. She also did not forget to pray that Stefa would also escape.

"Tae.... Don't you want to come to the movie? We want to watch it," shouted Hyona because Taera closed the door.

"Nope. I'm lazy, sis," replied Taera.

"Okay, okay. Let's go first," shouted Hyona again.

"Okay."

A few moments later, there was an incoming SMS to Taera's handphone. Taera hurriedly checked it.

It turned out that she was accepted into the Department of Arts and Culture. She was jumping with joy. She then checked the web address of the SEB of the Faculty of Economics. She saw who was accepted. She is in the same department as Danisa, Gaga, Anna, Erlita, and Koko. With the head of the department, Belinda. Stefa was accepted as secretary 2. And there Taera also saw Yola's name, as secretary 1.
