the story begins with a hectic but boring week during the summer holiday in 2007. At that time, I was pretty frustrated because I had not received any internship offer, while others already have got an intern. All of my applications was rejected. So I had to find other alternative to do during the summer holiday and earn some money. So I decided to learn Arabic and work in a student hostel.
On the Friday, I had received a call from an unknown person and she asked me to call her back. Then I called her and found out that my application for the intern in her company was accepted. I was shocked and very happy. I thought my application was rejected since it was almost 3 weeks after the result of the application was released. Soon I found out that the letter from the company was sent 3 weeks before to my previous address. I made a phone call at a housing area nearby my house. Now, everytime I pass by that area, it reminds me about the occasion- when I know I was accepted to do intern.
Doing internship in that company was really interesting. I really enjoy working there. I had learned a lot from the work experience. Everyone there were very helpful. I made some new friends too. I did the internship for 7 weeks. Even though it was quite short, I am very satisfied. On the final day of the internship, I was called by the HR people to come down to the HR department for briefing. I thought it was just a normal wrap up briefing session. It turn out that it was not as I thought. I was offered to work with them. I was speechless. I had never imagined that I they will ever offer me a job in their company.
After discussing with many people, finally I decided to accept their offer regardless of my situation being bonded with my sponsor since this is a once in a lifetime opportunity. I said to myself, I will reserve all the thinking on how to work with the company in UK after graduation and focus on my studies first.
Now the time has arrived. I have graduated. I had reported to my sponsor, and they already know my intention to work in UK. They said, I need to pay them the full amount in lump sum if i ever breach the contract. No discussion. I have no enough fund to pay them. Therefore it is really difficult for me. I don't know what to do now. I had talked to may people and done a lot of thinking. Still could not see any way out. All I have now is just a hope and belief in Allah. I hope that there will be a means for me to get back to UK.
At the moment I have no idea what will happen to my future. Only Allah knows. Just wait and see what will happen in the next episode of my life.
