I have been waiting for my new visa and labor card for about 6 months now. I have been waiting for my pending salary and other benefits for almost 2 months now. I am spending my own money savings while waiting, and if my problem will not be solved at the soonest, i might have an empty pocket in the next few weeks.
But still, i really wanted to give my sponsor a last chance.
Sunday, 08/01/2012, i checked my ATM account and to my surprise, OMR20 has been added to my previous balance.
Alhamdullilah!
I sent message to my officemate informing that i have received the amount and also reminded him that only until Thursday i can wait for my pending 2 months salary and other benefits. I really wanna go back to my country or be with my brother in UAE.
Thursday, 12/01/2012. My sponsor failed again. He failed to keep his promises again and again. For the last time, i tried to call him but he's not responsive at all and so reality knocked at my door on that day.
The realization has come to me now. I think in all situations, people can or cannot understand but in my case i have given so much time to wait. I have given the high level of patience and understanding that not everyone can have this kind of attitude. I believed, I have given them more than enough.
I have high respect to my sponsor, to Omani people and to other people of whatever nationality they belong to, specially the ones i've worked with. My family raised me well so i believed that i have this good character as a person wherever i may be going.
I really don't have any intention to question each and everyone's credibility or destroy anyone's reputation. I believed that I have shown them kindness and professional capabilities and competence in my work during my stay at the office.
Now, I just really want to get what is right for me.
Whatever happens, i'll still be grateful and give the high respect to my sponsor. I really treasure the job experience i've got in this country as well as the culture and traditions i embraced for a long time.
I really love Oman especially Salalah. I considered this place as my second home. Yes, I may be leaving soon, but all the people whom i shared my life with and the memories we've created for more than two years and a half will never be forgotten....
