All ABOUT NAIMIE'S BURBANK

Christiana's point of viewI stretched out on my bed and thought for a while. Amidst that, the vibration sound of my mobile caught my attention. It was just a random telecom message. I lied there for a while and finally got off my bed, went to the window and pulled up the curtains. Sunlight hit my face, making me feel dizzy all the more. I could not see clearly and wanted to doze off. Ah! I let out a sigh! I was left with no choice but to woke up. My eyes fall on the clock hanging on the wall. It was around 9 in the morning. I was to go outside and was already late. I dash into my closet and change as soon as possible. I wore a formal black gown, clutched my hair and grabbed all the documents which I had. I knew it was not enough to get me a decent job, but I wanted to try, try till I succeeded. By the way, I had not informed about that to Tiger. I wanted to jostle, find a position for myself and let him know about my thoughts later. Also, I didn’t think it important to inform him a

SOMEHOW I MANAGED!

Christiana’s point of viewWell, the store was not that far from my place. It wasn’t that close also. It was half an hour far from the mansion. It took fifteen to twenty minutes on the bus ride and more than ten minutes by walking to reach the mansion. I checked the time; I was very late. It was around eight at night. My heart throbbed harder. There were no signs of getting the bus. I never thought I ending up like that on the streets of Burbank. I was looking for the bus but had hard luck. Rarely any bus was coming. I would have been very late if I had chosen to wait there.So, I decided to walk. Also, it was a starry night, I wanted to walk beneath the millionth stars or even more than that. I pecked a glance at my wristwatch, it was already half past eight.I feared Tiger! I hope he didn't call my mother and ask her about anything. Fingers crossed. I started to run in panic soon. “Better I hurry,” I murmured. Of all the secrets I had with me over the few hours was not the saddes

THE INTERVIEW DAY

I got off early in the morning listening to the cock-crow. Immediately, I went to the washroom and freshened up. That included taking a shower and brushing my teeth. I took out formal wear from my closet and got decked up as soon as possible. Though I was not satisfied with my appearance. I wanted to look a bit professional and classy at the same time. Nevertheless, I had another level of zeal in me. I did not want anything to go wrong that day. And I did not care about Tiger. He was not awake and was having a day off. He had his own plans for that day. So, I headed out of the mansion and there I was. Standing yet again in front of the Naimie building was something special to me. I felt a bit nervous and confident at the same time. I gathered all my courage and entered the office. I could not believe my eyes. I finally got to enter Naimie’s Burbank. All thanks to Joseph. No matter how much I thank him. It was not enough. It was the first step towards my dream. Well, I had not infor

LIFE IS SO FUNNY

Christiana’s point of view Life is so funny. It is so funny how things change in a blink of an eye. One day you are shattered, one day you are winsome. This is life. You think nothing changes. But no, my friend, it changes. Albeit when you look back, everything is so contrasting. I was so nervous and helpless a few hours back. But things just changed. Life is so unpredictable. We do not know what is bestowed on us. Who knew, I will be applying for a job in NAIMIE’S BURBANK and end up getting recruited? Also, never did I think of encountering my childhood friend, Joseph after ages and that too at the same place where I had applied for a job. If I look back there are many such funny, strange though happening things that happened to me. For example: getting married to Tiger was next to impossible thing. But it happened. He happened to be my childhood crush and was nothing less than a mere stranger to me. But later I got hitched to him. Isn’t that crazy? It is so funny how things change

TO BE CONTINUED

Christiana’s point of viewHearing a sorry from his mouth was nothing less than hallucination. It seemed like I misheard him. I could not believe my ears. How could a person who had been so rude and arrogant to me, apologize all of sudden? It was something out of the box for me.“I…” I stammered; I didn’t know what to say to him at the particular moment. “Oh, no! You do not need to be so.” He said to me.I could feel he was upset. There was something which was bothering him. I wanted to ask him what it was. But did not do so, as I had no right to question him. Also, I doubted he would have told me. So, preferred being shut.Soon, he stepped forward towards me whilst controlling his anger. I could feel his anger. He was clenching his teeth and fist very tightly.He looked very attractive, with his casual look, deep intense eyes full of emotions. I suppose he was pretending. He did not want to let his emotions overpower him. He suffixes a smile on his face later.Accidently he collided

A DAY AT THE CAFE

I went around to relax. That Tiger had really got on my nerves. “Like has he got nuts?” I uttered. He took undue advantage of my situation. His deed was not to be appreciated, he succeeded in what he wanted and needed. “There is no way I am going to let this guy go so easily,” I muttered whilst rushing out of the mansion. Forgetting everything I entered a coffee shop and saw too many couples sitting together. The moment made me feel bad all the more. I yearned to cherish that very moment. Nevertheless, I sat there thinking for a while and ordered a cup of black coffee. It was quite cold outside but the anger within me made me feel hot inside. It was my fault, I knew. My heart skipped a bit thinking of the previous night. I should have known and expected something like that from Tiger. It was nothing that strange. But it still did hurt me. “I think billionaires are like that only,” I muttered. They are ruthless and all they know is to ruin innocent people’s lives. I wonder how did he

FINALLY

Christiana's point of view Today of all days I was going to enjoy, after all, I was going to visit my only brother and wanted to celebrate my only living bond. I hoped and prayed. I had no idea how much I have been waiting for that to happen. The whole day with Abraham! It has been over a couple of months since I saw my brother. The last few months I had spent on finding ways to visit him. I had applied an application through the lawyer in court to meet my brother. But a majority of times it got rejected. I wasn’t allowed to meet him during visitor time too. The ‘Burbank City Jail’ is quite strict when it comes to law and following protocols. After so many trials my application was accepted finally! Yes! I had been in the kitchen since 5 in the morning. I was baking a plum cake for Abraham. He was in prison for the rest of the years. I was sure he would love to have it. Plum cakes were his favourite. He would never say no to them. Well, Abraham wasn’t aware of my plans. I purposel

ALL ABOUT 'BURBANK CITY JAIL'

Tiger – my husband rushed to me with the plum cake – he rushed to the gates of the prison, taking the plum cake, fruits, waffles, and croissants which, I had bought for my brother and had forgotten in the car in hurry. I was outside the gates of ‘Burbank City Jail’. “Thank you,” I grabbed all of them from him whilst thanking him.I was to enter inside but, “Madam, please wait. You cannot take all of this inside. It is against our law and protocol.” The guards outside did not allow me to enter. My fear turned out to be true.“But…” I spoke softly.“Madam, I am sorry. But we cannot let you go inside.” The guard's jail obstructed my way. “Please let me sneak in, I am visiting my brother after months. Please, I will keep this in my mind while visiting the next time.” I pleaded before them while requesting at the same time.“No, we cannot. If you want to go inside with all this food, you need to get an application signed by the judge. Until and unless you do that, I cannot help you out.” O

HE IS IMPOSSIBLE

Christiana’s point of viewOugh!“I am tired,” I mumbled. “I cannot wait any more,” I said to myself while rushing to the bus stop. Huh! Luckily, I did not have hard luck that time. I got the bus very easily. “Ah! I do not have to wait.” I sighed. “Huh!” I took a deep breath. After twenty minutes I arrived at the mansion. I was early than usual. I usually used to come by six in the evening, but that day was different.“Wow!”“You are back.” Miss Daisy said to me while welcoming me.“Yes, Miss Daisy,” I said to her while giving a warm hug to her. She caresses my hair as usual whilst leaving for her room. That feeling was special to me.The moment I stepped forward, I was shocked. Shocked – seeing Tiger. Tiger was at home. Why was he at home? It was just five in the evening. It was a little surprising. He usually used to be back by seven or eight in the evening. “Wait!” He commanded. I feared. “Has he got to know about the reality? Reality – about my job.” I mumbled. But changed my

LATER

Christiana’s point of view “You are sure you are alright?” Annoyed. He seemed quite annoyed. Know not why, but he was. Ough!“It doesn’t seem like.” I continued further. “Yeah, this is perfect. Despite being at fault, you are blaming me. Wow!” He replied. Clueless! I was clueless. Didn’t know what was going on in his mind. “Sorry, if you will not tell me what exactly it is. Then, how will I know?” “Well, fine. Okay, let me be specific and clear as you said before.”“Who was that guy with whom you were there at the bus stop while coming to the mansion?”“Guy!” I exclaimed. “Yes, guy. Tell me the truth. And mind you do not lie. I hate lies and liars. The guy with whom you were having a conversation was near the bus stop. Also, he was in his black Bentley.” He added further. I was dismayed hearing him. My heart catches in my throat whilst my hands flew to my chest. They were frozen in their place. Stomach twisted. “Umm… Well, I…” I could not speak further as he interrupted. “Yes, pl
