The God's plan

Chapter 12( Part 2) - First Meeting

   " Ughhh,  no! "
          Maya panted and huffed.

    " No , i can't walk anymore! "

    " Sshh! Keep walking Maya . We have to finish our work here and return before nightfall.."
      Bella tried to coax her into keeping up.

    " I know but why today? Couldn't our bad luck have had hit us some other day? "
       Maya asked making a pouty face.

     What actually happened was as soon as the girls reached their uncle's home , they were informed that their
Uncle Lan had since long moved houses.
     Luckily someone advised them to go to the town hall and find the current address of their uncle in the records.
     Maya too had of course tagged along but what she didn't know was the town hall was approximately another half an hour away.

    After a long gruelling journey they had finally arrived at  the town hall .

    " Woah ! Look , Maya! This is the town hall. It's huge , isn't it? "
      Bella asked in awe of the amazingly huge building.

   The town hall was made of sones painted white. It was pretty huge . It also had a wide balcony at the topmost floor. It was surrounded by tall trees with bird chirping in them. The afternoon sun shining on the white colour of the town hall made it seem like a magnificent monument or something.

   As soon as Maya looked up , the first thing she saw was the huge wide endless stairs leading up to the building and her face fell.

   " No! "
  She cried.

  " Not anymore! I don't have any energy to keep going! "
         She said as she plopped down on the stairs.

   Bella tried reasoning with her
        " But Maya, there's only like 50 stairs!?"
    * Ahem! Ahem! Actually 85 *

   Maya shrugged off and leaned her head against the stair rail*
  
      Bella looked at her with a pleading look but of no use.

     " Ugh , okay . Listen , yours truly is too tired to climb this heck of a mountain right now. But as soon as I feel better i will catch up with you okay?"
    Maya told Bella as she was genuinely tired and feeling uneasy.

   Bella was not really convinced .

    " You sure? Will you be okay here all alone?"

  " Yes , yes ! Now get on moving,sis."
Maya replied nonchalantly.

Bella hesitated but hurried upward the stairs and soon was only seen as a speck leaving behind a tired and sleepy Maya to deal with her uneasiness.

They had been running in the sun too long. And they had breakfast early in the morning. Come to think of it , Maya hadn't drank water in the last 4 hours. Maybe that caused her illness.

  Lost in thought Maya started drifting off to sleep.
But before our playful Maya could reach the colourful dreamland , some voices woke her up.

     Maya looked up to find the source of these ridiculously loud and annoying voices.
If she was still half asleep, then the shock she received did a plenty good job of waking her up
      Her eyes went wide with the sight she saw.

  The two mysterious men from before! What were they doing here?
Both the men were standing near the rails seriously talking to each other.

       Maya being the curious cat she is decided to sneak on the conversation.
However she could only make out a few words.
All she heard was Announcements, throne, time , balcony.

     Hmmmph ! No fair ! Why were the voices so loud when she was sleeping but now mere whispers now that she's trying to eavesdrop?.
But didn't both of them look sketchy?
    
     Maya was only good at dealing with ruffians. She could not risk getting involved with people who look like they live off occult.
If she was caught by them maybe her already bad day would end in the worst way possible.

     Suddenly deciding that her nap was over , Maya decided to head over to Bella. However just as she started moving, she just noticed the most terrifying thing possible.

      The two men were also now climbing behind her. To say she was scared was an understatement.
Her mind processed all the worst possible outcomes.

    Did they see her trying to sneak in on their talk? No, that would be not likely, she was cautious not to let them know.
Then did they think she's beautiful and thus want to marry her?
No ,that is not so likely.
So the only option that leaves is that they thought that such a pretty woman would definitely make a perfect sacrifice for Satan!

        Yes! That would be it ! Wait, what if it's even worse? What if they're trying to get her married to the Satan herself? And given her beauty maybe even the Satan wouldn't hold back.

* This is all an exaggeration of Maya's ever so average looks. This is Maya's point of view so please don't break a young girl's heart by telling the truth*

     Terrified, Maya started taking rushed steps and kept looking behind only to find them both still following her. She wanted to reach the top as soon as possible.
However seems like the uneasiness returned and took a toll. Maya started feeling dizzy and her steps became slower.

     Before she could realise , her foot had already slipped and gravity did its job.

     That's it! Everything's over. Her position would make her fall flat to the face. Moreover maybe the  occult group would catch her and no one would hear a scream.
Goodbye Maya's future.

    She prepared herself to feel the throbbing pain but it never came. She had been held in place by two strong hands. One hand holding her waist while the other,her hand.

    Her rescuer flipped her and straightened her. Maya had her eyes shut tightly this whole time.

    " Are you alright? "
         Came a voice from the person in front of her.
   The voice was so gentle and calm and held a unique charm to it.

As Maya opened her eyes to see her Messiah, her eyes were met with a pair of  beautiful grey ones. The colour was so beautiful and vivid.
It was as if a whole universe was lying behind those eyes.

However she could see that these eyes  contained a hint of sadness . A kind that one has kep bottled up for a long time.

Her eyes then moved towards his face.
A sharp jawline , chiseled features, high nose bridge, high cheekbones, plump lips and beautiful eye shape.

    "Are you alright miss? Did you get hurt? "
   The hansome man in front of her spoke again.

    This broke Maya out of her trance.
" Yeah , i- i am fine"

     Hearing her words , the youth let a sigh and adjusted his hood.
His long silky black hair elegantly fell in front of his face.

Seeing him like he was right now, Maya's brain could process only three words.
   
       OH. MY. GOODNESS!!!
