View MoreWith 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
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
“Zariyah it is… more stunning than what I designed. This is really incredible. I have no words to express my joy. Thank you so much,” said Alyssia, her eyes admiring my not so good sketch.“Huh? Really? That's a relief then. Let's make this sketch a reality. I’ve already gathered the materials, laces, beads and stitching things,” I informed Alyssia. Without wasting any moment she nodded her head in agreement and we both set out to work.Looking at the condition, I decided on the look of the dress as backless and sleeveless. It would save time, additionally, to save more time I used a metallic bodycon skirt of ankle-length from our company's party wear collection. The only thing left was the upper part of the dress that I started cutting and stitching.Alyssia told me
The moment we were about to leave, another problem arose in front of us. It was… the devil. Well, he always looked angry, but now he was looking like a real devil akin to the fierce satan or some frightening creature?His face flushed with rage, I could feel the fume coming out of his nostrils while he was grinding his teeth. The more horrific thing was that he was constantly glaring at... Wait! Was he walking towards me? But why me? In no time, he towered over me. I don't know why but everything suddenly felt dark and grim. I was sure that the blizzard of his rage would destroy me.Alright then, I'm right about him being sceptical of me leaking the design. Ah! Should this day be this twisty!The tension dissolved in the air sent a jolt of adrenaline through me. Battling through the plight of vagu
Fashion shows would usually be a short event lasting only thirty-forty minutes or an hour. But it takes a lot of time to equip and recreate the pre-existing styles with expertise. Most of these events would be centred on a single theme. Sometimes fashion shows were also organized as a source of charity or popularity. I wasn't sure on which demand did this show get staged today. Considering the sparkling diamonds and perfect tuxedos and flooding media it could be planned for some funds.Zari, better think about how to be productive than flipping your guessings, my mind knocked me.With an alright sigh, I walked to the green room. When I reached there, everything was set rightly perfect. Makeup was done, models were ready and Alessia was wishing them good luck. Her gleaming eyes shone brighter than the puzzling art
Silvia was standing right in front of me all dressed up. I felt relaxed when she showed up but at the same time, the toxic smile plastered on her face gave me a bit-so-cringy thrill. Silence crept into the room between my ambiguous sneaks. Every human being present in that room ogled her; the sigh of relief on their decorated faces were visible. “Just what in the world is wrong with you girl? I have never seen such an unprofessional person in my whole career till now.” Alessia appeared from behind and yelled at Silvia. “I can explain, Aly. I got stuck in the traffic. But still, I managed to dress up and did some primary care to save time.” Silvia answered bluntly without an ounce of guilt. “You’re lucky, you came on time otherwise I would have made Denver k
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.
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 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
"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
