The sounds of rushing car woke maya up.she got up in panic,watched time.At was 8 AM.
Her phone battery was dead.she couldn't order a cap.she hated ordering one.
Maya waited for the bus as she was already there.
A moment later,bus arrived and Maya got in and then she took a breath of relief.
For almost 35 min,she was looking outside of the window_ without any thoughts.
Maya went out of the bus.she walked for five minutes to get into the alley.
The alley was a society... Divided into three buildings.
A,B,C.
A was for mostly elite and business owner.
B was for the privet businesses owner and for people with proper job.
C was for the commoner's who just dream to live in a nice place.
As Maya went inside..the security man face broke into a soft smile as if she knew Maya.
Maya greeted back.
The moment she took step inside the alley,it was separated by three roads.
One to left and other two the right.showing sign of A and C.she went straight...to the B building.
GIA apartment was one 12th floor,Maya used stairs to get there.
As she open the lock.she made intrance into fine hall. To her left was an open kitchen,it had a big hall with big sofas and large size LED. There rest of apartment was quit empty.It had three rooms.one at the intrance and the other two was at the end of hall, opposite to each others.
Maya used to come here.would clean,look at default...if something was wrong in the apartment and would also call GIA whenever she was there...to make her believe that she is living here.
She never spent a night.
Now that Maya was here but she was too tired to do anything.she took a long shower and went straight to bed.

The sound of the bell woke up maya.her body was sore.she couldn't get up of the bed.

Maya opened the door,
There was no one but when she looked down,
A small girl with two sides Ponytail said greeted Maya.
