Joshua"

I looked in that direction but I couldn't find him I said to myself " Maybe I have mistaken someone"
I shook my thoughts when" I heard a familiar voice "Aylin.." With a surprise I turned my head towards the voice" Seonbae!"
( it was a man in his 30's wearing white shirt and loosely fit black pants with an Id in his neck and a walkytakly in his hand)
With surprise he came near me with a big smile and said "Long time aylin what brings you here?" I smiled a little and answered him" Yeah it's been very long. Actually I am here for my work. "I showed him my I'd and said "see I am a show director". He raised his eyebrows in amaze and said "good you did it wish I could have met you earlier I would have asked you to join my company we missed a good director" in a regretting tone.

I chuckled at his Statement he asked me my number and said yoo jinaa will be really happy to meet you ( yoo jin was my best friend from university and seo jin seonbae was her brother) we exchanged numbers and I excused  myself and went towards the studio.

The studio where we are shooting our interview today was Mr jake's work studio the walls were filled with beautiful captured pictures of different locations across the world. I asked song is everything ready?Can we start the interview? He nodes his head in no I asked in a worried voice why? He replied miss lina is not here yet. I shook my head in disbelief and said "I can't with this girr..."I can't complete my words as we hear her voice "I am here" we turned our attention towards her and shook my head and said "is this the time" She came near me and hugged me and said don't worry my girl we have to start interview by 9 she pulled her self from me and said " look it's 8:30 only Iam whole 30 minutes before time" By showing her watch

She caressed my hands and said" I know it's your first time but don't be nervous I know you can my brave girl " I sigh and blink my eyes in assurance and said "yeahhh enough of delaying now start the interview and turned my attention towards the staff". Lina went to check her mic so did Mr jake and we gave the script and question to lina and signaled everyone to get ready I sat near the camera on the directors chair. Lina and Mr Jake also took their seats and we started the interview  the interview was going well but things going smoothly isn't a thing for today

suddenly our main camera got some issue and the camera technician wasn't receiving the call I was stressed as we have to complete this shoot today anyhow as we cannot delay this on tomorrow my heart was beating so fast and I was moving back and forth while lina and song was trying to arrange other camera or technician then I remembered that their is a camera shop across the street I picked my bag and ran outside while lina calling my name behind but I didn't respond her and left I came out side the building and searched the location and ran towards the direction but something  stopped me in my traces as I saw a huge crowd of people at the entrance of the shop I took a deep breath and recite

"Hasbiyallaahu Laa Ilaaha Illaa Huwa 'Alayhi Tawakkaltu Wa Huwa Rabbul-'Arshil 'Atheem"

(Allah is sufficient for me. There is none worthy of worship but Him. I have placed my trust in Him)

And tried to get in the shop but with my short height and petite figure I can't I still tried to get in the crowd but the crowd pushed me and I was about to fall on the ground but a hand supported me from falling I felt shivers in my body I heard a familiar voice "are you ok" I looked up to the owner of the voice I saw the same man in all black attire wearing black mask and black hat I immediately pulled my self and straightened my posture and asked in a low angry voice" You are folowing me? " He chuckled and said "why would I " I joined my eyebrows in confusion and said under my breath" I am sure this is the same man and the same voice"

Suddenly he pulled me with my sleeves hem  in a corner away from the crowd which broke my thoughts I jerked his hand and looked at him with an angry look and said how dare you touchhh..... He cut my words and said in a speculative tone "I didn't" I rolled my eyes and said why did you pulled me here? Look I have a lot of work I need to go inside the shop I am short on time" I was about to leave but his words stopped me" you can't" He said. I joined my eyebrows in confusion and turned towards him tilt my head a little and ask "and how do you know? He put his both hands into his pants pockets and said "don't you see that crowd they are not there for no reason they are waiting for someone" I asked who? his expression were not clear as he was wearing a cap and mask  he said "Kim taehyung" I sigh and said why? He asked in a shocked voice "don't you know who he is " I said with a neutral expression "no" He hummed in response he thought for a while and said "you said you want to enter the shop right? " I respond yes!
He said" I can help you " I rejected his offer by saying "no thanks " He said "the choice is yours"while tilting his head towards the crowd I looked at the crowd and then on my watch and said how? He took out a photo card from his pocket and a pen and wrote something on the back of it and gave me  while pointing his  long finger towards a man and said "show him this he will let you in go" I asked him why are you helping me btw he hummed and said" take it as thanks and sorry for coffee."I looked at him with confusion and twitched  my lips he shook his head and asked me to go I hesitatly went towards  him while continuesly looking back at  him I reached near the  man  he was pointing at and showed him the photo card he looked at me with surprise and confussion then his phone rang he picked the call

his eyes were searching for someone then his eyes fell on the man who gave me the photo card and spoke on this mobile yeahhh is this you? Then he shook his head in disbelief and showed me the way. I followed him he took me to the shop from the side door I gave a surprised look and searched for him who gave me the card but I can't find him then I shrugged my shoulders and thank allah while closing my eyes and said ya allah thank you so much I love you now just help me to find help.

I opened my eyes and looked at the man who brought me in He told me "look he is the owner of the shop you can ask him for any help he will help you ok " He handed me the photo card and left . I put the card into my bag without looking and asked the owner if there is anyone who can help me?and explained the camera situation our filming camera got some issue and isn't recording anything and I have to complete my shoot he asked a man  to go with me I left the shop with him towards the studio he helped us and fixed the camera we completed our shoot and the whole day went while I offered my salah in breaks and was already the time for pack up. We completed our first interview well and sent it to the editing team and we all were heading towards our home.

I picked my bag and belongings and was waiting for my cab when lina back hugged me and ask me for dinner I got startled and pulled myself from her and turned towards her and took a breath of relief asked her whose treat? In a teasing tone she pinched my cold nose with her index and middle finger and said "my darling you worked really hard today you deserve it my girl " We linked our arms and the cab reached we sat in the cab and reached our favorite halal fried chicken shop in itawon this place was not far from my home and we often come to this place to chill and talk.

We sat on a table and ordered our usual order and were waiting for it when lina shook her head and asked me "yeahhh how did you manage to bring that technician because when song called them they said they can't help us as they are booked for today then how did you make it". I was hearing her while gulping water from the bottle then I grabbed my bag to show her the photo card the man gave me as I read what's written on it while taking it made me make a pissed out face and kept the card back. While lina asked me what happened with a confused face as she couldn't understand I shook my head and change my expression by giving her a smile and said nothing just allah helped me asall ways and shrugged my shoulders
We had our dinner and lina and I went to my home together while walking as she is staying tonight with me
it was 10pm when we reached home appa was sitting on the sofa resting his back when we entered the house we silently greeted him and went straight to my room without having any talk.

Lina : yeah why is your father always cold like I have been coming here for years now but I have never seen you and him talking other than greetings and important talks why?

Aylin: (sigh) it's a long story.

Lina:is it because of that incident hmm?
Aylin: it's not just that. his behavior is a cocktail of many different things so don't worry ok (👌)
