I reached the gate with a silent hesitation and bag of appliances. The bag had a bunch of stuff I didn't want, like a few A4 sized papers and some stationary. Well, hiding the weird stuff in my body was the best part. Cause I had a tracker in my head and some safety pins and knoves in my bra.
Yeah, that's wire but if you wear a large sized sports bra, things be easier.
Anywy, the security guard wouldn't allow me.
I showed him my slip of printout that Rayan had forwarded of my job application.
The black dressed man was sus, ofcourse. He ran his eyes over me again and again, then took the paper.
"No, we need to call sir"
There were two of them. Their name tags hung ion their pockets;
'Uranus and Pluto"
Woah, code names for the securities too.
That was unanticipated.
I didn't say a word, instead remained silent. My dress was as formal as possible. It was a black skirt and a white shirt, that I wore to college often. But it was neat and ironed now. It looked at its best form and yes, I had to leave the best first impression now, or else I would lose even before I started.
"Yes sir"
Pluto came to me after rushing to his cabin and taking a call.
"We need to searchyou madam"
I nodded and followed them. They took me inside, and my eyes wnt up in awe. The gates straight led to a beautiful fountain, which flushed a large amount of water. It sore and rose into a large height, finally breaking into its channels.
That eventually gave way to a white marbled pathway, into the entrance.
The V shaped entrance was itself spotless and crores of decorations stood on either side.
The smell of air conditioned perfume came across, and the cold air made me cough. Creepily followed by two security guards, with a bag and an office look, I was supposedly the joke in there.
Everybody I met eye contact looked poised and too less interested in me.
Its the rich after all.
They had their own policies.
Their own f*****g rules.
"Put your hands up"
Oh I did, everything Uranus told me. He seemed to be my dad's age, but a bit more stronger and heavier in size. He was old but that uniform covered it.
Those shades were on and so was his cap.
"Turn around"
'How long have you been working here, sir?'
"No questions!", Pluto shut me up and rushed his eyes over my bag. It was torn, and maybe he noticed.
"Oh sorry", I wasn't but apologising meant me to look like a good girl. My mind was in a trauma, because this was so no me, but I needed this. To get here, meant anything and I was ready to take it.
After twenty minutes of thorough checking, they decided to let go off me.
The bra strap worked, whew.
"Move it"
They pushed me and I walked forward, towards a corridor. I was left there as they moved back to their positions. But trust me, three ways opened in front of me, and either way looked the same.
"Pluto!"
The old man threw his wide eyes upon me,
"I don't know where to go"
He sighed, which I could see and mumbled around. His friend Uranus must have said that he would take care of me, and left the angry one behind to his spot.
"You are loud kid"
I said nothing and followed him.
We got into a lift in the second dissection, and silence followed.
'You must have worked here pretty long, to actually know the ways"
Silence followed.
'Is everyone so conservative here?", I flung my bag on my shoulder and clicked my tongue.
"Just do what you came here for, kid"
'I ain't no kid", I showed him my job application paper again.
"Your one. Its what I see"
I looked back at him, "Well, your one dad like figure"
He twisted his neck and met my gaze. Those shades didn't exactly say where he was looking but it was definitely upon me.
"Yeah, I am one. You should have one too"
"Yeah...he's gone crazy"
He said nothing, as the lift door gave way and we walked.
Tremendous lefts and rights, dodging people in suits and other formal wears, who were too busy to even notice us, only to finally reach a small alley.
And Uranus stopped.
"Go on"
"What?"
'Only you shall be allowed there"
I looked at him and he was bowing respectfully.
And he decided to go back.
'Hey Uranus"
I ran back to him and stopped him.
"Um....I didn't lie when I said....you look like my dad"
He said nothing and pushed me to a side. My back almost would have thrahsed upon the wall, had he not held me in his tight grip,
'Don't be Loud kid", he growled.
"Its Anna", I smiled. Though his hold was hurting me.
'What do you want?'
'The way. Can you show me the way to that alley always?"
Awkward silence, because I could see he was surprised. Immensely.
"Please..."
He left me and walked off, not saying a word.
I sighed and moved to the alley,
It was obviously gonna be difficult in here.
"This way please"
Two women, dressed like air hostesses, with all that lipstick and makeup, took me to a room. A posh hall with sofas and leather suits on the side. Pantings and abstract ideas kissed the wall and a bunch of tables and another.
It looked like a meeting hall, to me.
And yes, it was.
Because a bunch of people walked inside, and they had so many papers, and they ignored the s**t out of me.
Expecting some attention by the different wear was also just a thing I shouldn't have anticipated too.
"Your shitty"
I screamed inside, but kept my patience as people seated themselves on either seat and sat in silence.
Pushed to the corner, with my bag, I looked like a left out kid who was ready to get bullied.
But then my mind diverted for a second.
Because the door behind me gave way and two hands caught me by the back.
"Hello"
It was him.
And I lost my consciousness.
