Christiana’s point of viewHe spoke.Probably he did.“So, all good now?” Tiger asked me in concern. Nevertheless, I failed to pay heed to him. I didn’t do that purposely. The situation took the major part of my psyche. The escapades of the night had occupied my mind. Jesus. Help your child.“Christiana. Christiana. Christiana…” Tiger called me a number of times, only to get no response from my side. I could barely sense what was happening around me.I did not reply.I did not reply because I was lost.Lost and engrossed in my own thoughts.I took a long breath, to gain my senses...After few minutes.I glanced thoroughly in the room, no one was there. “Was I dreaming? Or he was in real here?” I muttered.“Where is he?” I search for Tiger. “Ah!” I exclaimed while shifting my glance here and there in the room. Tiger wasn’t there.“Ouch!” I got hurt. I collided with the bed – king-size bed of Tiger. While trying to get up.Hit. Hit. Hit.Damn! That shit man. How dare he? “That goddam
Christiana’s point of viewRomantic love?Companionate love?Or both!What is it exactly? I know not! How do I describe our bond, feelings – mutual feelings?No!Not at allThe life which I was living then with Tiger had intimacy, passion but lacked commitment. Or should I say there was a combination of intimacy and commitment without passion. “Ah! So, difficult to put in words.”Lacked commitment as ours wasn’t a sacred marriage, instead it was for a fixed term. At the same time, it lacked passion too, on the flip side intimacy was the constant variable. Love??? “Hahaha!” I laughed satirically.No. no. no.“By the way, why am I reflecting so much. There’s no love, no love! Can’t be also.”Whatever Tiger did was out humanity and concern. Nothing more than that. If there was something else, then it has to be duties/responsibilities. Whatever he did for me ever since the marriage, it was mostly due to that. Harsh reality! But I had to accept that.“Huh!” I pondered the questions which
Tiger’s point of view“Ama? Is this a joke?” I spoke with one of my employees. “Want the results improving. Enough of shit. You people really think this will work out? Get yourselves checked. Like seriously. I guess all these months of work and training turned out to be useless.” I added further while going through the report and work.Huh!“KELVIN is not just a name or brand rather it is a revolution. It’s a family lineage. We belong to the same lineage. Mind you when I say ‘we’ that means we.” The meeting was to be held in an hour. Everything was to be done by then. I thoroughly glanced over everything. But no!Meeting – there was a meeting to take place in an hour. Business tycoons from United Kingdom were to visit. I did not want anything to go wrong. The current deal then was very important for me. Especially after the successful launch of our brand-new perfume ‘Kelvin.’ Appreciated. There was nothing to be appreciated.“Sir, we tried to make the presentation and report keeping
Tiger’s point of viewUnearthly! Utterly unearthly.Eerie. Uncanny. Mysteriously strange.“Ah! I just cannot process this oddness. What is she up to?” I muttered to myself while peeking through twitched curtains. I squized at Christiana.Hurriedly!Heedlessly. Impetuously. ImpulsivelyAnd what not.While ruminating on her activities, I sat in the chair next to her. “Why! What is the hurry all about? What is making her do so? Quite difficult to get her.” I muttered whilst assessing Christiana’s strange behavior. I call her insane soul most of the time. That does not mean, I mean that. But mostly she proves me right. I mean just look at her now, she is crazy. The way she is having the breakfast… Huh!“Is she hungry?”Famishing. Starving.My mansion has enough food. At least the whole stuff out there in the kitchen and store is enough to feed for a month. “Huh!” Then why is she acting this way.“Is she that hungry that she can eat a horse?” I mumbled. I was sitting next to her, but di
Third person’s point of viewIs love in the air? Were the dyad souls falling for each other? Were they attracted and had started to love each other? If a woman loves a man. What happens:When a woman truly loves her partner, she not only is concerned about her present but also plans for a beautiful future. Be it having a home together, or children, she would include everything in her plans.Even Christiana did so. So, did she already love him?Woman:When a woman is in loveShe prioritizes him, chooses him first, looks upon him, prizes him, displays affection and love for him, and respects too. The chemistry is evident. Energy is felt. Relationship feels like magnetic and natural.Christiana had started to do every single thing mentioned above. The only problem with her was she wasn’t aware of why she was doing that? Why? If said about chemistry, chemistry was clearly there in their bond.Magnetic and natural!Everything that happened till then was natural and both of them were attr
Christiana’s point of view“Ah! What a lovely day.” I muttered whilst jumping out of the bed, flitted to the Italian window and tossed it open.I was awakened to the early risers chirping. The quivering sounds of their wings lurched into my ears like a harmony. “Ah!” I took a deep breath. The city’s fresh air filled in my body. It was beautiful springtime morning in Burbank, California. I looked at the sunlight that was already squinting through the curtains.The just-risen sun shone softly on the city streets, bringing with it a flurry of early morning activity. The birds kept chirping, and the breeze was cool. Everything out there was full of beauty and magic, filled with the promise of a new beginning. The striking beauty outside was nothing less than a picturesque reverie to my eyes.“Let’s start, it’s getting late.” I muttered while glancing at the clock.I eagerly waited for that day. For I would get to showcase my talent before everyone. People would get to know me, and my ta
Christiana’s point of view“Hurry up, Christiana. Hurry up, and don’t think too much!” I mumbled while looking on the road very quickly through the window. A black SUV passed by on the road very quickly. A man was driving the car while talking on the call. He seemed in quite hurry.Soon a voice came from behind. He stopped the car when a guard came from behind. “Master, should I accompany you?” He was his bodyguard, I guess. It seemed to me like that only, he was all dressed in the dress of bodyguard.“No, I am okay. I shall leave now; I am getting late.” The man in the car said loudly, at the top of his lungs; he was not mad at him; instead, he seemed concerned about something. There was something which was troubling him. I could sense that from distant. Not that distant, but yes, he was far from my place.He left the place!I could hear them from my room, as the voice reached there. The road wasn’t that far from my room. And above all they had a conversation very loudly. Quite loud.
Christiana’s point of view“This angle, yeah! Shift a little bit. Left… tilt, this way! Yes, superb.” The photographer instructed Helen and complimented then.“Thank you, thank you so much!” Helen said to the manager as well as the photographer while fixing her makeup. She was a bit exhausted. There were sweat drops on her face. She wiped them off and then resume the shoot.Yes. Helen. You heard me right. She was there. “I wish, she wasn’t there.” I mumbled to myself.A couple of photographers were there in the office along with light man, makeup artist, editor, designer, manager, and many other professional people. Who took care of everything, looked at the camera angles, selected the right camera, adjusted lighting, frame, managed camera settings, edited the photos simultaneously, and did color correction if needed.Another photoshoot was on the way. Tiger a week back had launched a brand-new perfume namely – Tessa Di perfum under his brand Kelvin. Yet again a new ad for the same p
