MAYA

"Oh! What a coincidence? It's Two Ace," He giggled, his victory visible on his face.

I hate this, twitched lips of his. It's scary.

"Fine, a wish, I grant you." I proudly declared, I don't know where this confidence is coming from but anyway, "Don't be tacky, I want three more wishes. Okay?" I made fun, and he didn't laugh. He just kept staring at me blankly, with his sly smile.

Say whatever, I have one wish from the second game. I will use it.

"My wish is, dinner date with you, that was on halt from earlier, with you?" He snarled, making me laugh.

"I use my second wish, I don't want to go with you anywhere?"  I beamed with joy on my victory even after failing.

I don't know why he found it hilarious to laugh so much.

"I knew you would do that!" He kept on laughing. As he finally stopped.

"Fine. Use it?" He tugged me closer to him, smiling. "We still have many games to play," He whispered in my ears, and came out of the bar side, pushing on the button to open the door. When I saw Ritvik on the door. Staring at us.

Oh shit!

He glared at both of us, "Did you completed the reviewing?" He asked me, really furious at me. Making me little worried.

"About that, I talked to Avishaan, she is no longer your intern. She is my personal event manager.  Till the thing I want to do is done." It sounded uncanny.

"Really? Alright then." he stared at me once again, and pivoted to go back in his seat and sleep.

I followed him inside, and sat in my place. When the cabin head came and informed that we are about to land.

I walked inside my personal room I got in the hotel. With the bags arriving right behind me. As they left, I shut the door, and threw myself on the bed, notification popping up in my phone. I looked at the ID, sighing. But as soon as I read. I sat up.

My mind blank.

Didn't he agree that he won't do this creepy actions anymore? Why did he message me again?

Quit your job before you have to quit your life...

The same message, from the same number.

I sat up. Thinking. Again and again.

Is it him? Is it really him? Or not?

I went over the apps from which I can identify numbers for the original name registered. Trying to search, but no match found.

I kept trying, making sure the number I input is right, but no match, what the fuck?

It doesn't make sense, why would he want me to quit my job? Right!
Is it a prank? Is it prank from my friends or someone?

NO! They are not powerful enough to get an unregistered number just to joke around. Who is this person then? What he wants? Is it someone I know?

I think I need to check myself, instead of guessing around. Right?

I picked the phone again. And messaged,

Who are you?

I asked the person, when no reply.

I waited, but none. God! I heard a knock on the door, when I opened it, finding Ritvik sir on the door, "Aren't you going to come out? Just because you are now the manager, so you don't have to work. Take reports of the scene." He bickered, hoping the same from my side. But I gave a nod, and went over to the bad with equipments.

Taking the camera out, and recorder.

I came out, he was still waiting for me.

" Ritvik sir, "I asked suddenly, when he rotated to look at me," What? "He asked,

"I have heard some weird rumors lately in the company about the previous interns?" I asked him, when his steps paused, he revolved and stared at me.

"What kind of rumors?" He inquired me, seriously, his face and eyes dead, serious.

"They call it, the Well of interns, one who falls in it, never comes back? What does that mean?" I implored, him all seriously staring at me.

"It means nothing. They were using metaphor to express that who come here as an intern always goes at some big position thats all." He abruptly spoke. Killing the vibe of suspense.

What the hell?

Again started to walk, I following him behind.

We kept going to places, one after another, all the places in the hotel, which can have amazing set up, evaluating them carefully, clicking pictures and recording the statements which I will make notes of later.

Discussing some things Ritvik sir, and kept on moving around, both of us.

"I think, we got the best ones, let's get some lunch." He asked me, I nodded as we went in the hotel café, keeping the things on the table, I picked out the menu, choosing on  a small burger and fries, with coffee. While he stared at me, "One cold Americano chicken nuggets," He declared, and we both staring at each other.

Right. I need to go and bring it.

I stood and walked towards the shelf, and ordered, when they nodded and walked over to pick out my things.

At that time, Mr. Creep arrived beside me, "You should have gone for a proper meal, you haven't ate anything." He suddenly said, when I walked little left to create some distance, but then my eyes went on the phone on the desk, he have kept, I grabbed the Americano from the staff's hand, and turned. Intentionally spilling the coffee on his jacket.

While he jerked back, his jacket wet from the coffee.

"I am so sorry!" I screamed when he said its okay, and went towards the bathroom on the right. I immediately picked his phone, while the staff who kept another Americano watched me going through his phone,

Shit! Password! I don't know the password.

I kept pushing random numbers, again and again. But it won't work,

1234, wrong!

0000, wrong!

4321, wrong!

Oh my god!

I saw him coming back with his jacket in his hand, when I almost threw his phone at its place.

I grabbed the tray the person kept, and was staring at me. When I eyed her not to speak, I turned with the tray, he arriving beside me, taking the second tray from my hand. "Let me help you with that," He said, taking one of the tray, and walking ahead of me towards Ritvik and the table, thankfuly from where the desk was not visible. So I am sure he didn't saw.

Mr. Creep kept the tray and passed through me.

"Its 0704"
