Chapter 16 - Grabbing an opportunity

 10 pm at GIA room,

Maya stop! "Stop drinking, you have to go tomorrow! You need to stop okay". GIA was full of concern 

"Maya turned off the alarm"... One of the roommate said, Maya looking for her phone while her head buried in her pillow 

She watch the time. Ahhh! I still have 10 minutes to sleep more... 

Maya..Maya! Get up " why are you still sleeping?".her roommate said

Maya got up in panic and hit her head on the roof of bunk bed 

I am doomed.. she said to herself.. within five minutes she got ready and run towards the examination hall.

She expected the hall to be fully emptied because she showed up so late.

But there were still few companies holding an interviews.

Maya looking around to see her own but nothing was there so far 

Miss Maya! Professor Joseph summoned you to his office 

Maya heart beat raise..she knew.. 

She never went to his office not after when she beat up one her classmates for bullying fresher's three ago.

Professor Joseph was there department head.He had put alot of potential on Maya

 knock knock 

Come in! Professor Joseph said in gravy voice 

Maya entering the room and her face went red seeing Alan there too

Sit Maya! Profferesor pointing at the chair Infront him

Maya felt the same vibe from professor's office.It was still the same as it was three years ago

A large table in the middle,a window that opened towards outside, flowers pots and nine clocks on the off white painted wall." Each clock on the wall showed a different part of the world, their hand never in sync."

When the silence take over the room.Maya could feel the pricking pain on her chest 

"Maya I didn't expect..it.Not from you ". Said professor Joseph clearing his throat 

I have known you for four years,you never disappointed me or yourself. I won't ask for the reason. Because I know you would have got yourself in trouble like always..as it is one of your favorite hobby.so that's you why you couldn't make it..right! Said profferesor Joseph with a confident tone.

Maya said in a guilty voice I overslept.

"Pardon me" profferesor frowing 

I overslept sir.Maya said clearly 

At this Alan showed a laugh.. profferesor looked it him

Sorry sir! Alan said controlling his laugh 

"Maya look at me!." I have always treated you as my own child.but this mistake can't be undone.Therefore I recommended Alan instead of you".

Maya looked at profferesor Joseph so fiercely.she felt wrong.

Maya couldn't excuse herself.she was shaking with fury 

Okay! Professor Maya said in a crying voice 

Maya hated looking pathetic.she knew she was not crying.whenever Maya felt extreme anger her voice became sobby .

She stood up and slightly bow down and left the office followed by Alan.

"I didn't knew this day would come. I have always wanted to beat you.. even if it was once in my whole life".Alan said sarcastically 

Maya looked back with red eyes.

Ahh! Don't blame me okay.its just.." God give me an opportunity and I grabbed it"!

Good for you Alan, Maya said in a savagely tone 

" If it wasn't me I wonder what will would have happened to you ".

Maya pushing him to make her way.

"I know you would say that now that you can't do anything". Alan said

Maya stopped.

"At least I don't climb on people back to get success". From the look on Alan face Maya knew she stabbed the arrow into the spot .

How dare he Maya. GIA said furiously 

Maya its okay. you are talented.. opportunities like these will come ang go.okay !

Hey! You guys are here, the club wanted to see us all.said their club members.

"Let's see what's next".. Maya said while holding an ice coffee to calm her nerves

The room was full of pictures and showpieces, pink bright wall which Maya hated the most and there was nothing to sit on.

She had always wonder about their club budget but never asked 

Today, as usually we all gonna wrote down what we wanted to do and put it in a box..and when I pick up one of the folded chit.we gonna do what's written inside.

As instructed, everyone wrote..GIA wrote cancelling the next meeting.Becaue she had exam coming up and she didn't wanted to miss the fun.

As for Maya she had been putting duck for all these years but unfortunately never ever a duck was chosen. She wonder if the leader knew her trick and double trick her for removing her chit.

Because the club was just for fun.

Now I am gonna get one chit out from the box and we will do whatever it is.

The room filled with pleased applause 

Okayy ! Here we go..we will do

Hiking!

Hiking? Ohh not again.i am gonna kill this person who wrote this GIA said

Maya knew it was the club leader..he loved hiking but didn't said anything.because she felt this is the best thing to relieve her anger, disappointment..

In her room,Maya was going through some assignments when an unknown email popped up on screen. She clicked on it.

Maya didn't paid attention to it .when she laid down..she kept thinking about it.

She left the message on seen. 

"You should go Maya!" If I was you I would have gone there.even if it's a scam their is no harm in it .

Maya felt an unknown assurance in GIA words.

The sun was bright,the studio was on busy street and was far from her university. She had to take two buses. At was a two story studio.In entrance Maya saw a Young girl smiling at her ,she was the reciptionast. Maya told her that she is here to met Noah Cyrus.

The girl told her two go upstairs after making a call.The first floor was quit furnish.There was picture of famous Architect and their achievement on the wall.

She was about to climbing the stairs when the reciptionast signal towards the open left..

"I am alright" Maya said with faded smile.

There were few people working on the 2ND floor.

Four women and five men Infront of their desk 

The hall was not that much small.The whole roof was designed as aquarium.. giving totally different asthethics 

The whole studio was quite geniusly design.

The CEO office it the right said one of the girl on desk
