Before I could say 'Jack Robinson', the magnificent morning arrived. Like every morning, this time also I wanted to sleep for some extra minutes, although I was fully aware that an extra minute of sleep wouldn't be enough to quell my longing for the land of Nod.
I got up and welcomed the morning cheerlessly. Soon I got ready, had some chocolate brioche with my favourite macchiato and was off to work.
When I arrived at the office, I sensed something unwonted and rugged in the eyes of the people of Devil’s kingdom.
The males were gawking at me like I had exposed their debauchery to their wives while the females were glancing at me like I had unfolded their without makeup look to their baes. A wave of certain fidgetiness obstructed my pathos to think of something positive. A lot of unpleasant thoughts were
With a long face and an inconsolable heart, I went to my place. Luckily, Bella was there to console me. I spat out the series of jinxes that stuck to me from last night to this morning and how I ended my booming career with a 'served him right' slap.Bella reacted as if I confessed to her about committing a murder. “What- Why on earth did you slap Devil Denver? He won't let it pass, he can fire you, Zari.”“If he only accused me of what happened yesterday, I would have handled it patiently by revealing the real culprit. But that blue-eyed jinxed man raised questions on my chastity. I can't let it pass. No girl can tolerate such bullshit. And about the job, nothing is more important than my self-respect.” I almost shouted at Bella with tears in my eyes.“Cool down, Dear. If that&rs
"At some point of time, the only person who can help you is..YOU."After running and hiding for several hours, I finally reached here. My breathing was shallow, it really seemed difficult to move now. Fortunately, the train was running late, so I still had some time to rest. My eyes quickly searched for a seat, I found one, grabbed it and comforted myself.People were looking at me as if they’ve seen a Zombie. Well, the condition I was in was no less than a Zombie. Not their fault, a bruised face with black and purple stain is quite a weird sight for anyone. Sadly, the bruises on my body were the same as stars scattered in the sky. The difference was that the sky full of stars looks beautiful but obviously not a body stained with bruises. What’s even worse was those horrible memories. I wish I could get rid of those memori
As the train started, I got busy filling my eyes with the beauties of nature. I was enjoying the sight as if a blind person had got her vision for the first time. Never had I ever thought of this fortunate day when I would see these scintillating lights, after living a life of darkness. I could feel that I’m breathing, contenting my heart.Just when my eyes were busy catching the beautiful sight of lush green hills, landscapes and breathtaking sceneries, a sudden noise made me jittered. The waves of shrill hampered and dismounted me from the calmness of my joyful trance.My eyes quickly checked the source of the sound and saw a man who was covering his mouth for an unpredictable reason. After scanning the surroundings, he made himself comfortable in the seat and sighed.
“Tring... Tring... Tring...”Ahhh… Alarm clocks are the most annoying thing in this world. With utter bitterness and distaste, I flung my hand and turned off that small piece of shit and got off from bed to get ready for my job. Even if not my dream job, yet a livelihood to get myself to survive here. I also got a small apartment which I was sharing with Bella. She was my roommate and now my only friend in this new chapter of my life.“Buongiorno Bella, get up you’ll be late for your work."Bella woke up stretching her hands. “Morning Zariyah!”“Hurry up. Your coffee and breakfast are on the table. I’m leaving now. Bye, see you later.” I chirped o
“One moment is enough to change your life”“I think I have something for you.” Fumbling through her purse she grabbed something.“It’s okay, ma’am I didn’t help you to get a reward.” With a faint smile, I refused her to reward me.“Well, you helped Alessia Romano and I would love to return this favour by helping you. Here you go.” She placed a card in my hand.“Denver’s Group of Companies. One of the leading companies in Milan. I’m giving you this golden opportunity to hit the jackpot. Be there at nine.”For a second, my brain completely stopped working. The
“The secret to sustaining impact is the dexterity of your virtue.”“Hey Love, how was your interview?” asked Bella with a tense look with a spoonful of pie waiting to be chewed.“Tomorrow he’ll decide,” I whispered out my irksomeness.“What do you mean, he’ll decide tomorrow? Please don't tell me that you are on standby.” She frowned and took in the pie to gulp down her frustration.“Worry less, Bella. The interview went well. I answered all his questions confidently but he wants me to conquer his arduous challenges to prove my worth,” I said while loosening my tiring thoughts.“That dev
Today was the most anticipated first day. First day of my dream job in the most prestigious company. Ah! I finally could do it.None would guess the squealing kid dancing to the shower of chocolates and cream pies within me. Right from my childhood, I knew how to look normal between my switching fate. But I wish things go better if not the best.I reached there in time, to be honest, ten minutes before, sufficient enough to take a happy gaze at the dream destination. I looked at my cabin that happened to be in front of my boss's office. Then the stack of documents that called me lovingly only to tire me with words printed in them.Before I went to gather myself over the new beginning that was capable of becoming a better nostalgia sooner, I was ordered by my boss to get him
The event day arrived in the blink of an eye. I was assisting Alessia as we had to shift the dresses for the fashion show to the venue carefully. The event was going to be held in the most prestigious and luxurious hotel in Milan and fortunately, it was not far from our office. So the last hour modifications and disguise makeovers to wither off the exhaustion wouldn't delay us. Just when I and Alessia were going through the details of the accessories, dress materials, and props, we were obstructed by the baby girl of the devil. Gosh! Her word stuffed mouth and stupid gestures were always sick. Speaking of the devil, I hadn't seen him since morning. Was I missing him? What? Me missing him? Nah! No way. I am the happiest when he is far away, or… Huh, I must worry less perhaps.
