Sourav had always believed in discipline and hard work. To him, they were not
choices but habits.
He had recently arrived in Kolkata, alone, carrying little more than a suitcase and
determination.
He rented a small apartment on the fourth floor of an aging building. The room was
quiet at night,
so quiet that even the sound of the ceiling fan felt loud. He had come to the city in
search of a job.
Every morning he stepped out with confidence, moving from ofice to ofice,
submitting his resume,
smiling politely, and returning home exhausted. Days passed. Rejections came. But he
did not give up.
One night, as he lay on his bed staring at the slowly rotating fan above him, his
phone suddenly
rang.
Unknown number.
Sourav:
"Hello?"
Silence.
Sourav:
"Hello? Who is this?"
After a few seconds, a cold and unfamiliar voice spoke.
Voice:
"Congratulations. You have been selected for a position in our company.
"
Sourav immediately sat up.
Sourav:
"Which company?"
Before he could say anything more, the call disconnected.
He stared at the screen. No company name. No explanation. Just silence.
He tried calling back. The number was unreachable.
Around 2:30 a.m., his phone vibrated again. This time, it was a message.It
contained a company name and an address.
Gabriel Company
He searched for it online. No results. No website. No records.It was as if the company
did not exist.
Lying in the darkness, staring at the ceiling, he felt something unusual.Something was
not right. Yet curiosity was stronger than fear.
