Coincidentally Fated

Elliot and Sally were budgeting out their finances for beginning the biggest business ever; having all the estate agents, chefs, marketers, editors, engineers, lawyers, doctors, story editors and writers for magazines; financers, sponsors and other supporting staffs. Both families had good financial status and well established companies for getting the above fulfilled for their future son-in-law and daughter-in-law. After a good number of years, finally their wish had come true. Their skills turned them into the most powerful dictators and the finest ones in terms of entrepreneurship. It was years ago talk where their parents were triggered for having a poor strategy and presentation in business but today you see maximum newly graduated youths getting employed in the ‘Hansen Industry’. It was a proud moment for everyone collaborating and initiating; blending to the concepts that kept transforming and the level of energy required was extreme. The nights and days put up, the r

At Sally’s House   The house was grand; decorations were pretty but less pretty than Sally and Elliot. Sally cordially invited the guests and caught Celia, “The one who gives creative ideas appears dull today… Look at you… you’re dressed up like a regular! After all, you are the reason for this celebration. Now hurry up and go…” Lazar and his group led Celia to Sally’s room for dressing up. Celia picked up the unwrapped gift and got herself dressed in the washroom. The rest disappeared. Lazar while dancing bumped into Elliot. Lazar in hesitation, “Sir, I’m…” Elliot in hurry, “Don’t bother. I’m looking for Sally; do you know where she is?” Lazar in doubt, “No… I think she might be in her room.” Elliot thanked him for letting him know where Sally was but Lazar in that nervousness misspoke Celia as Sally. Elliot entered the room and called out, “Sally… Sally…” He heard the soun

Celia woke up with a refreshing mind and dressed herself to get to office. The last thing to highlight her look was lipstick; she quickly grabbed a lighter shade of brown and ran downstairs while applying it. She drove her car to the spot and as she entered a loud bust appalled her. Lazar came running towards her with a gleeful smile. Lazar in happiness, “Celia, congratulations our magazines have reached higher sales and the tourism sector too is receiving lots of attention. I’m so happy for you and our whole team! There’s some news for you to be heard, someone’s waiting for you in the cabin, go check.” Celia in surprise, “I can’t believe, you spoke in one go. That’s actually a great news and time for celebration as well. Congrats to our team!! I’ll join y'all in a moment…” She walked to the cabin and saw the two honourable people; the world has been waiting to meet. Mr. Hansen rose from his armchair and welcomed Celia, “Hey sunshine! There are lot of

Celia left that place with Lazar and waited by the pool. Lazar placed his warmth with a concerned heart and said, “Celia weren’t you aware of this? The entire company knows about his character and still you fell for his pretensions…” Celia replied gazing at the stars: Isn’t it stupid, that people nowadays still believe that making a wish to a shooting star works? Lazar: Indeed, they are. But having hopes sometimes gives courage. Celia turned to him and said: That’s what I’m doing… The people at the party met Celia at the pool side and congratulated her, talked about their projects and offers with future consignments. While talking to a media interviewer, Celia was asked whether she would like to involve any other member for the interview. She looked around for her staff members and saw Elliot approaching towards her. She quickly spoke out the first name that came to her mind. Interviewer: Who would you like to call? Celia: Laza

Celia woke up the next morning with an aching brain. As she woke up, her hands wandered for water but something passed by her right hand, she sat up and saw Elliot’s body half lying on her bed. Celia: Elliot? Elliot? She brushed her warm fingers through his hair and stroked his cheeks to wake him up. Elliot: You… Come here. He caught her hand and pulled her close. Elliot: How about a morning kiss? He lifted her chin gently, looked into her eyes and leaned in to kiss. Celia: Stop. Celia turned her head in disgrace. Elliot: What’s wrong? Celia: Move aside, I need to freshen up. She shut his want and climbed out of the bed, heading to the washroom. He watched at her with surprise, unwilling to leave her alone and the urge to clear the anxiety and insecurity about her; he stood by the door waiting for Celia to come out. After 15 min she came out with a towel around her body, untied ha
