Chapter 6

After five minutes of waiting, they finally reached the top floor. The lift came to a stop and everyone was kicked out of their business.

Shelly tried to get a serious expression, to the extend she can. She turned to see Ray staring Lia. He notices her staring him and blushes. She smiles and notices Lia still busy in her own world. Lia was pulled out of her own world when Ray asks her if she's okay.

She nods and smiles a fake smile. Ray suddenly hops at the corner and gestures his hand " Ladies First!"  Shelly punches him playfully on his chest and smirks "You playboy!" Then she steps out of the lift and Lia follows her while Ray trailing behind them.

Lia turns her head to notice the floor. It's different from others as not a soul is seen there. While downstairs, people are hovering all around.
She notices an artificial tree in the centre with a dark blue trunk and branches of a light shade of blue. The leaves were complementing the beauty of tree and overall, it's a magnificent blue tree. The desks are organised in a circle around it . They had a blue tint and floor was shining with white marbles. Why there's everything blue? She thought. May be it's favorite color of Mr. Watson.  The desks had computers on their right and some chemicals , test tubes and stuff on the left.
The arrangement was unique, but beautiful.

The tree seemed attractive so she dragged herself over there in hope to see something new. She turns her head to see Ray and Shelly busy in their conversation , teasing each other. Lia dragged her legs in front of the tree. Its details are more distinct now.

Six of the branches were beautifully coordinated while the seventh one seemed isolated. It was painted in caramel brown to give a look of dry branch. Suddenly her gaze falls on bigger leaves, hung each from every branch. It seemed that something was written on them. Lia leaned closer and read on the top of the tree

Create your own Destiny.
And
Survival is the real Truth.

Strange! Then she takes a big leaf in her hand one at a time and reads

On the top- Bravery
She turns it to see if something is written and saw Fight your Destiny to get what you want.

Then on the branch in left - Smartness
She turns it to read - Use your resources well and get whatever you want.

Then to the bottom of it -  Intelligence
She turns it to read - Use your intelligence to snatch your desire from Destiny.

Then on the right branch - Innocence
She turns it to read - Everything happens for a cause and I believe in good cause.

Then on the bottom one - Curiosity
She turns it to read but the space is left blank.

Then to the left - Protection
She turns it to read but that place is also left blank.

Then she straights up her back and read on the branch -"Anger and Jealousy "
She turns it to read - Do anything to survive.

It's. ..It's.....totally strange. What are these things? Why are these quotes written here? What do they, whatever they are, mean? Why the last two are left blank?

Uhhh!! It's so much confusing. I can't figure out a single thing what's it for. Strange things are happening with me and I am left helpless. Please!!!!! I wanna know. I have to.... She thought.

The beach of her mind was again hit by a tsunami of thoughts and again she is not able to survive in this. She is getting annoyed, frustrated and mad, really it's  driving her crazy.

She was again ready to disappear in her world when someone called her from behind. She turned and saw Ray. He was saying something.

"Hey! Are you okay? I had called your name twelve times and you look.....what are you thinking? What's bothering you?"

"Calm down ! Take a deep breath. "

Lia smiled and Ray frowned. Then Shelly came in their direction smiling "Guys Aren't you excited?"
