Dia POV's

In A nation

Three years later,

I got a job in D company (Alhamdullillah) as an accountant. After many struggles of job interviews and questions , finally a proper job.

During Lunch break, i was talking to my sister about the workload and about some important person coming to make a deal with my company.

Normally i have a very loud voice. I always try to lower it. But you know....

As i was talking to her, i felt a stare but ignored it as usual and walked further away does walking more .

After few minutes, i turned around to see who is staring but i found no one....

Few days later...

I was called to attend the meeting. I don't know why. It doesn't even cones under my department. I was quite unsure about it.

I asked my colleague about meeting and what is it about in order to know about it more.

But i found it irrelevant. I cannot find any connection between me and the meeting.

Anyhow, I can't disagree. I ask the manager about the topic of the meeting and why it is happening.

I started reading about the company we are merging with. I was quite impressed.

The company was most reputed and strongest in S nation and Asia and its spreading all over Europe.

The person who is behind the company success is CEO. He is most eligible bachelor in all over Asia and Europe. He is known for his looks and smart brain. I read an interview about him in a magazine. i was quite impressed with his achievements. But i have no interest in business and the people associated with it.

I kept on studying the contents and benefits we get if the company merge and so on.

It was quite frustrated and terrified.

I hope the meeting goes well Insha allah.

On meeting day

I didn't sleep the whole night. I was quite frustrated and nervous. I still can't find the connection between the meeting and me. Its is irrelevant.

I got up from bed and did my daily routine which consists of brushing my teeth,taking a bath, praying Fajr (Morning Prayer) and dressing up.

I wore a maroon loose trousers, white shirt, black long coat and maroon headscarf.

I thought of doing a bit up makeup.

I usually don't wear make up. I just put moisturizer and then i am done.

I applied moisturizer,kohl,mascara and nude lipstick.

I hope i look okay.

I reached my company around 7 am.

I directly went to the office to talk to my boss about the meeting and why i am told to attend. He just avoided it.

Around 8 am, We reached our destination for the meeting. The meeting is at the dame some where the incident happened three years ago.

We entered the hotel and ask the receptionist about the meeting. He told the meeting at the top floor ( 25 floor) in suite no XX01. We headed towards the lift. I tried to keep maximum distance between my colleagues.

The people in the meeting consists of Ceo of my company ,his secretary(a lady), Vice president , Head of Accounting department and me.

As we headed to the suite, I was quite nervous ,i didn't lift my head up. I was just following my colleagues. As we entered, we were welcomed by the secretary and told us to sit down. His living room is so spacious and big. As he entered, he started greeting everyone.I just bowed slightly in order to show respect. As they say down to talk about the mergering . I sat at corner most chair.

The meeting went up to 11 am. The merger was finalised. The Inam and company would collaborate and make the best products for customers.They have fixed our lunch around 12 noon at restaurant in the hotel in the ground floor.

So I excused myself and left. Now i can breathe.It was so suffocating.

The Zhuhr azan came when i left the suite.

So i went to the bathroom did my business and my wudhu.I asked a staff is there a praying room available in this hotel. She kindly nodded and showed me the direction. The prayer room is at 15 floor. So i went to prayer room and prayed Zhuhr and made Dua'a.

After that i went back to 25 floor to find no one. I received a message from the my ceo secretary that they were going to restaurant and some business talks and informed me to leave as fast as i could as now the meeting is over.

Instead of going to elevator i chose to walk through stairs. As i walked through stairs, i remember the incidents occured .

Absentmind, i stopped to the same floor where the store room was.I decided to go storeroom. As i walked nearer and nearer to the storeroom, i had a weird feeling. It was not bad neither good just weird.

I opened the door and entered the storeroom.

It was quite organised and clean.Not like three years dirty and unorganised.

They were extra shelves to keep things.

I went and stood in front of the same place where i sat. I sat at the same place looking around the storeroom.

After 15 mins, I closed the storeroom door and left quietly.

I exited the hotel.I took a cab to go my apartment. It was quite a tiring day. I hope everything went well.
