This was a story written by me a while back. I sort of modified it in an independent short story. Would love to hear from you all.

"Oh. God! I so want this to work out. I have waited for this chance for almost two weeks." Myra, a girl in her mid twenties told her friend with whom she was sharing a flat, Anjali.

"Don't worry you will get through it. You have applied properly naa? Just don't take stress and give the interview nicely tomorrow."

Myra had applied for the job of Creative Supervisor in a company. She had been trying to get hold on a job on her own independently after she came back to India from Europe. Her father was adamant to make her practice a job in Europe itself after she got graduated and then had planned to eventually get her married to a nice guy.

Myra couldn't sit well with the suggestion. She wanted to stand on her own feet before even thinking of her marriage proposals. She wanted to earn money of her own. After a lot of persuadings and pleadings with her Mom and Dad, she decided to start her base from India itself, as it was her birthplace and also the place where she had completed her schooling. This place was very close to her heart.

So she requested them to give her few months to prove herself and establish herself on her own money. The idea that was so pleasing then, sounded so tough right now. It was no cake walk to earn a living on her own easily in a city like Mumbai.

She had basically applied at many places, but couldn't fit well with them. At some places she didn't like the work environment and others weren't paying her enough according to her.

That's when an advertisement of a job of Creative supervisor caught her eye in the newspaper and that too from a very renowned company.

The next day Myra got up early, ate her breakfast and hurriedly went to the desired place. She didn't want to be late. There were 25-30 people sitting outside the cabin waiting for their turn, they were informed by the P. A. of the CEO, that Sir himself will be taking all the interviews as he was very consequential with the post and the selection of the candidates. And there were only 4 Recruitments to be done so far.

Myra patiently waited for her turn. She was on no. 15. She was nervous as hell. She wanted this job at any cost as she had waited a lot for something like this to happen and moreover she was having all the education qualifications that were required for this post.

Her name was called after sometime. She stood up to go inside the cabin. She was now confident enough to crack it. She knocked on the door slightly and a voice came from inside, "Come In!"

She went inside and closed the door behind her back, the guy sitting infront of her had a file infront of him, his face was hidden. Having sensing her inside, he removed it and looked directly at her.

She expected anyone but him!

Her face fell. His familiar blue-green eyes and well built body was not so new to her.

He signalled her to sit. She didn't know how to react. She sat quietly on the chair infront of him with hands on her lap and fingers intertwined and pressing each other. She was prepared for the Worst.

He forwarded his hand to ask her the file that she was carrying, looking directly in her eyes. She was looking anywhere but him! Mentally cursing her luck but making herself strong at the same time, she gave away that file to him. She tried very hard to keep a straight face infront of him.

He barely went through 2 pages of her file and closed it at once after that. He slid the file on the table to pass it back to her.

He pressed a button of a phone sort of thing kept on his table, and said, ''Next''.

Myra couldn't recollect what just happened, even before she could react, another applicant came inside.
His P.A. told her to move outside as her interview was over.

She gave a last look at him, who was inturn looking directly at her with a blank face as if he was totally unaware of what he did a while back. Having no option left she moved out.

Myra came back to her home, kept her bag on the couch and sat with a thud.

Anjali came with a glass of water and gave it to her and asked her, "Myra how was the interview.?"

Myra trying to control her laugh replied, "Guess, Where did i go?"

Anjali - I don't know. You didn't go for the interview?

Myra - I did. I mean that's what I thought. But guess who interviewed me?

Anjali - Who?

Myra - Kabir!

Anjali - Whaaat.?? Kabir Malhotra.?

Myra - Yes the very same.

Anjali - Isn't he the one whom you..

Myra - Yes the guy whom I Dumped.!

Anjali - Lol. Let me laugh. You both finally met and how.

Myra - Anjali, it's not funny yaar. Why do i have such a Phooti Kismat. I mean I knew it was 'Malhotra Industries'. But..

Anjali - How can you forget your Ex-boyfriend's surname.?

Myra - Trust me i didn't expect it to be him. Plus i didn't know that there were only 1 Malhotra family in this big city. There could be more right. Shitt..Yaarr.
Can you for God's sake stop laughing.

Anjali - Okay sorry. Sorry.

Myra - Some one said it true. Ye duniya sach mei gol hai. Why mee?? And i guess he is still mad at me.

Anjali - Obviously anyone would be. You literally dumped him without even an explanation, moreover you didn't even face him when you did that. You just Ran away. As far as i know. You just texted him 'It's Over' and blocked him after that and shifted to London. Who does that?

Myra - I had my reasons then. And i know he tried to reach me with everything possible through social media and through our mutual friends too but i just changed my number and blocked him everywhere. But Heck it was 4 years back.! I didn't know that i'll face him again that to here all of a sudden.

Anjali - But are you sure he still remembers you?

Myra -  Hell. Yeah!! Otherwise he would have taken my interview. He practically didn't interact with me at all. Everybody else's took good 20 minutes, mine was done in just 5 minutes.

Anjali - Dude. You cannot do anything now. When is the final list coming out.

Myra - In the evening. But there is no use of checking. I know he won't select me.

"Myra.. Myra.. Come fast babe." Anjali called out to her from the living room.

"Kya. Hua.?" she asked all blanked.

"Arre. I was checking your.."

"No need babe. He didn't even take my interview." she replied.

"But your name is here.!" Anjali said enthusiastically.

"How is it even possible.?" Myra came running and went to see the result from her own eyes as she didn't believe what Anjali just said. After few minutes she said, "It's a trap."

"What..?Are you mad you got selected. What else do you need.?" Anjali said and looked at her friend all surprised.

"But. He didn't even.. " Myra could barely speak.

"Shut up. And stop thinking Rubbish. Prepare yourself for tomorrow. Don't disappoint him." she said and pulled Myra along with her to eat dinner after closing her laptop.
