Second Year of Promotion

Surabaya, 16 August 2024

This week, everyone is celebrating their achievements. Some of them are going abroad for study, some are getting promotion to new positions. It is the second year I don't find my name on the list. Even, my juniors are getting promoted, while I am not. I feel disappointed, angry, and sad. What have I been doing wrong?

I always think that it is my fault. I didn't pass the tests. If only I could stay a little longer. If only I could endure the pain. If only I could manage my emotions. If only I could be a statue that has no feelings. But I couldn't.
