INAAYA'S POV

Every morning is prejudice. Waking up, doing your routine, the normal stuff.

But today wasn't like any other day. Today I woke up because I wanted to, not because I need to.

Today is my interview and I'm going to M.K and Co. where.............

My thoughts were cut short when my phone started ringing knowing exactly who it is I picked up the phone without checking the screen.

"Yes beesh! Wassup?" I said childishly.

"Is this Miss Mathew speaking?" A deep harsh husky voice asked.

"Huh, Zara? What the hell?" I asked.

"Sorry to disappoint you miss! But this is from MK and Co reminding you for the interview to be held! " the person whoever the hell he was replied.

"Oh, oh, am sorry, I mistook you for someone else!" I said exasperated.

"So, Can I confirm it?" He asked.

"Yeah, you can" I replied.

"Ok, then bye"He said and hung up.

Rude much? Okay!

I decided to get ready and leave for the interview.

Remembering to wake up Aubrey, I went to her room to find her bed made and empty.

Huh, where is she?

"Aubrey, Aubrey, Aubrey" I started calling out when I realized, shit!!

I forgot! I freaking forgot my own sister. What kind of sister am I!

I frantically searched for my phone!

Where is it? Where is it?

Found it! No wonder its dead, freaking dead. Connecting it to charger, I switched it on and saw 20 missed calls- All from Emmett's mom. She might be worried.

Calling her, I waited her to pick up the phone.

"Hello" she said.

"Hey! I am so sorry! I didn't mean to forget! But my mind was too occupied and what kind of sister forgets her small sister! Am a very bad sister. Oh my god!

Where is Aubrey? Is she okay? What is she doing? " I continued to ramble until she cut my rambling short.

"Hey Calm down ...... she's fine! And I realized you might be occupied. So, I thought maybe Aubrey could stay over that's why I called you" she said.

"Yeah oh..... my phone died last night and I fell asleep that's why I didn't notice the calls! Am really sorry for troubling you! Did Aubrey trouble you with her little tantrum?" I asked.

"No, No, Aubrey was a sweetheart! Anyways, it made Emmet happy! So, I am more than okay! "She said.

Then I remembered about the interview and she didn't have school today.

"Actually I wanted a favor! A small one! Its urgent that's why! "I said.

So that's how I left Aubrey at Emmett's house and she was more than happy to stay there till the evening.

I just hope I didn't trouble Emmet's mom.

My interview was at half past nine.

After making sure about Aubrey, I made myself some toast with coffee and as I ate I stared at my outfit for the day. To be exact the outfit I had put most efforts on. I knew that this was my day to shine.

I put on my dress and also some eyeliner and a dab of lipstick (This was all that I did for any big function). I hurried out as I didn't want to be late.

As you know the first impression is the best and I wanted to be portrayed as ambitious, punctual and capable.

I started my car and played the radio. I drove past all my usual spots but everything seemed livelier today.

At sharp half past eight, I entered the premises of M.K and Co. The compound is huge. The security outside asked my details and directed me to the parking lot.

Damn, the parking was in the basement and that alone was way too huge. I drove down two lanes but still didn't find a spot.

By this time I got nervous and concluded that I would definitely miss my interview because of a stupid parking. Well actually because of not finding a spot among all these luxurious cars. I sort of panicked and there I saw- a perfect spot.

I quickly parked and looked at my watch and saw that it was 15 minutes to 9 only. I got out of my car and took the lift to reception floor.

The minute the lift opened, I was mesmerized like a kid in a candy shop. I stared at the huge M.K and Co. logo behind the reception counter and walked slowly up to it. I enjoyed every bit of being here even though it had just been minutes.

At last I reached the reception.

I had my most pleasant smile and greeted "Hi! Good day to you!"

"What do you want?" the rude receptionist asked.

She was dressed in a beautiful blue suit and had a May I help you badge. I always thought people with these badges should be nice but I guess it's not always like that.

"I have an appointment for an interview at half past nine", I said not letting her rudeness affect me.

"Wait, let me check" she said.

As she searched through the appointments of the day, I once again glanced around. She then looked up from her screen and asked my name. Then she asked me to wait in the reception till I'm called.

I turned to go be in the comfort of the luxurious yellow sofa when she called me again to tell that my meeting was confirmed with Mrs.Rao.

Now this is when my nerves actually kicked in. Till now I was mesmerized by the wonders of the office that I had forgotten I had come here to do maybe the most important interview in my life. I had prepared the basics but what if she asked me something more? Something personal maybe? Do they do that in such interviews? What if I went blank? Maybe worse what if I went mute?

All these thoughts were rushing through my mind.

I faintly heard my name being called through these thoughts. The lady at the reception asked me to go to the second floor then left and straight. That's where my interview was to be held.

I walked in through a door with a big board Mrs. Rao. The room was huge and I swear the interior as perfection. Yep I did glance through the room quickly.

I greeted, "Good Morning! My name is Inaaya."

Mrs.Rao: "Good morning please take your seat."

I thanked her and sat. I placed my portfolio in front of her. She took it and went through every detail carefully. I can still see her serious concentrated face in my mind. After about ten minutes of that, well seven to be exact, she looked at me.

She asked, "So I have seen that you have excelled in your school and college. But my question are not related to that. Tell me why exactly should I hire you?"

I thought for a second and replied, "Well let me first introduce myself to you."

She gave me a stern look and said, "I don't need unnecessary details. I have your portfolio. So answer to my point."

"Okay then you might be wondering what is so special about a girl who has excelled in her degrees! You might be seeing a thousand of me every day. But I have always aspired to work here. My hard work through my studies was only so that one day I could come here at least for such an opportunity." I said.

She had a much different expression that before and said, "Impressive!"

"What are you expecting from us?"

I said, "Well If I am fortunate enough to get this job, I would love to start my career in one of the best places. I would prove myself. Also if I get the opportunity to be her you could see how passionate I am in my work."

"Great! Are you free on Monday?" was her reply.

"I'm sorry?!" I asked.

"You are appointed and your training period starts on Monday unless you don't want this" she said.

I interrupted saying "No no Monday is perfect- the most appropriate actually."

I couldn't contain my excitement. I was appointed in M.K and Co.

I stood up, thanked her and left the room with my portfolio and the biggest smile.

I was ecstatic today. Never in a million years did I imagine any of the things would even be there in my possession.

I still remember in high school, aiming to be a doctor, I had went through that chemistry physics bullshit and look at me now, achieved something not evening closely related to them.

But I guess there's always a reason behind everything that happened, God only plans the best for us right? Plans which would keep us happy?

I never thought I would get jinxed and how wrong I was to think like that.

"Modest doubt is called the beacon of the wise."
