"take a seat Mr.khurana our journalist is just about to reach she is stuck in rain" a girl spoke to me , trying to convince me to have patience, "make it quick, I can't wait for more than 5mins" I said as I looked her face turning pale , I sat patiently, suddenly my phone rang , "hello" I spoke "beta interview ke lie best of luck" , "maa it's not my first interview I already had given a thousands before" , "aree I m saying best of luck of the people who are going to take your interview you know how to deal with media par sabko Tera gussa handle karna nahi aata", she said giggling and I remembered the last time I went to gave interview and they messed up everything. "Have patience it's raining heavily people can be late" maa spoke with sigh , "ok maa , only if you say" I said knowing she won't hear a no , "naah , only ok won't work promise me you would do the same thing you did last" , "maa but they deserved that , it was their fault" I said remembering the incident that took place last month, "just because wo PR team 10-15 minute late hogaye or they accidentally gave you the wrong papers that doesn't mean you can destroy their carrier" she said in a warning tone , "theek hai maa I promise is baar I won't do anything like this but only if this media house doesn't make any great mess" , "ok then good and haa after your interview call navya she has something to tell you" "ji maa" .

I sat and  cut the call and looked around me so that I can quickly end this interview and go , "sir another journalist is going to take your interview, the one who was supposed to come is late" my assistant spoke out , "ok great" I said and sat on the assigned seat so that they can quickly start the interview.

I saw a girl coming toward me with files in her hand , "hello sir , Im Maria these are going to be the aspects of today's interview, you can review" she said as my assistant took papers from her hand and reviewed it , "ok so now we are going to start in a minute" the camera team gave gestures for us to begin , Maria gave her formal introduction in front of camera and went to ask the first question , "sir what is your thought about current controversies of khurana and rajput rivalry " she asked in an awkward casual way , I thought to myself about her professionalism but skipped that thought, I was about to reply to her question but suddenly a loud yet soft voice echoed the whole studio "stop" I heard saying as everything else went silent and I saw a young girl with white kurti , open hair and a smile yet strong expression on her face coming toward our way , her heels breaking the silence as she came closer, "sir I m sorry I got late but I have the actual questions as I m supposed to do the interview" , a wave of frustration ran through my skin , "do you think my time is a joke , already you are late and now you are interrupting in the middle of it" my Loud voice scared the majority of the studio as all their expression changed into fear , except of her , she got the courage to still look toward me without any sense of disturbance, "I respect you Mr khurana but the rain won't stop at your name" she smiled as rage again filled my blood but I calmed myself remembering what maa said , she took her hand forward "Im aradhya the one who is actually supposed to do your interview" she said to me but giving a look to the other journalist, we shook hands , the interview started again with a significant professionalism in her young yet very strong presence.

The interview finally ended, "sir this interview was a loss this will surely effect our shares" My assistant Pratik said worriedly as my eyes looked toward the girl who somehow had the courage to still walk in front of me without thinking of her life and carrier, "sir do we need to do something of aradhya and this media house" , "no just find me the information of this girl she really got something in herself that gave her courage to have the audacity to ask against the Khuranas that too in front of me" , prateek nodded, " sir but I think it's about the media house Maria was also about to take your interview" ,  "yes but her aspects were very basic and in actual favour to our own like all the other past interviews, but the questions aradhya asked had the power to grab some of our shares to ground, I m sure the media house doesn't gave her these questions"
"Ok sir then I'll submit all her Information till this evening" prateek said and noted his tasks , as I left the office and sat on my car , I looked outside the window suddenly my eyes met with aradhya as she baffled and was just about to fall on the floor , I said nothing but a smile formed on my face. As I left the media house with her thoughts.
