Sidiqa: I got jobless for a period of time. One day, it happened seeing a friend of mine who was a high ranking officer in ones of governmental offices. After a brief conversation I dared sharing my situation to him. He promised that he would find me any possible job and told me to send him my educational documents. I took my documents to him the next day. While receiving the documents he said that he would arrange me with job conditioned on I receive his call. What for he would call me, I asked him. You have to share bed with me and I would not bother you coming every time, we have to meet once or twice a week, he brazenly relied. Gotten completely astounded, furious and irritated I reproached him as harsh as I could. Witnessing the occasion, I sensed a deep feeling of hatred toward that man. I started criticizing myself of how degraded and contemptible was I that had referred to a wicked mind for arranging me job.
Fazillah: I was looking for a job. I asked one of my friends who was a teacher at a government-run school. He introduced me to a man, whom he described a sympathetic and trusted one. I contacted the man and he told me to meet him in his office. I went to his office and briefed him about my education and work experience. Right after my briefing, he said that it was no big deal and encouraged me to think this concern resolved. Looking at me he interrupted himself saying that there was a minor problem which I easily could fix. What problem exactly exists? I asked him. You have to go with me and keep me contented, he replied. At that minute I did not comprehend what exactly he meant. As a result I did not react to his treatment. But while returning home, I recalled his words and held my mind thinking about his rude and mischievous action. I shared the story with my mother and sister as I reached home. Then again I called my friend and told her to warn the man that he had mistaken me as lewd. “I am proud enough to remain my whole life unemployed rather than meeting the demands of such evils”, Fazillah said zealously.
Lima: I was working at a Production Company. I would do my best to meet all requirements the company was looking for. My supervisor however would always object me of not doing my work properly. Time and again he would interrupt me telling how to carry out my work. One day he bothered himself sitting next to me and began guiding me. Having touched my leg, he asked me if I had learned how to do. I got staggered and disordered. Standing up furiously I moved to the manager’s office and announced my resignation. The manager however called supervisor’s deed a normal occurrence which takes place in every office. After witnessing his reaction, I concluded that I was not safe in Production Company. I finally abandoned it.
