 Dmitri’s train of thoughts was suddenly interrupted when the baby’s first cry resounded in the whole operating room.  It felt like music to his ears, and left him ecstatic, both as a doctor and a parent.  After performing the successful operation as a competent doctor, he was ready to embrace the joys of parenthood now.  “Oh ! My baby !!" a delighted Dmitri cooed as Hazel placed the little bundle of joy in his arms with a beaming smile of her own as if she had just delivered her own baby. "Oh, Dmitri ! Congratulations hun. You did a wonderful job ! Audrey and your precious angel are safe and healthy," Hazel extolled."Ahh ! I'm a dad now," he exclaimed with joy as his eyes welled up and his heart skipped a few beats.  He was immediately awestruck with the miracle of life, who had inherited most of her mother’s

Oliver, the secretary of the Director, walked in to announce the arrival of his boss and everyone straightened up, a hush falling over the crowd- partly to make a good first impression and partly out of curiosity to see who was the mysterious figure leading the business world. However, to everyone’s utter surprise, they heard the firm clicking and clacking sound of high heels against the linoleum floor which echoed down the hallway and got louder and louder as they inched closer to the conference room. In the deafening silence following suit, all heads turned towards the door just when the doors opened wide for the second time. Minds short-circuited  and eyes refused to blink when a tall, svelte figure appeared in sight. Elegantly and formally dressed, the young lady with a fatal aura walked in, commanding an awe-inspiring respect from one and all pr

A cool wind suggested the arrival of fall. Autumn had begun to creep over, promising to transform the landscape into the backdrop that Rachel so loved. Before Rachel finished hanging up her coat in her office cabin, pouring a cup of over-brewed coffee and settling in her chair, her secretary, Oliver, presented a pile of letters and files on her desk for review. Forbidden memories rippled through her then coalesced, locking themselves away in the back of her mind, making it difficult for her to focus on her office work. When Rachel has started feeling, looking and living her best life, such a horrific peep from the past happened to rattle her present perfect world out of nowhere. However, seemingly more often than not, these dreaded reunions happened when they were least expected — and least prepared. For four years, she had buried her feelings

After 3 years …. It rained glitz and glamour at the newly launched Fashion Week as cameras flashed incessantly and supermodels fired up the red carpet.   The Toast of the Fashion C, the Queen of the Ramp and finally- the much acclaimed Supermodel of the Century arrived to launch the world’s top designer's spring collection. The media went into a wild frenzy when her black limo rolled in and a well toned leg stuck out, laced with swarovski studded black heels draping the silky soft looking foot in its exotic embrace. With an air of luxurious opulence and confidence, the model got out and her plump, red lips slightly parted to reveal a disarming smile. Her signature, bouncy strawberry hair rolled delicately into a braided chignon with a few loose strands hanging in front, which framed her delicately shaped face.   Her s

After 3 years …. The seasons changed fast. Days changed to weeks and weeks turned into months. Dmitri’s concerns from sleeping habits now changed into nutritious baby food. It was hard then, and it is still hard now, Dmitri mused while playing with Melody in the nursery designed by him. Baby squeals and panting noises would bring Dmitri out of his darkness, only to find himself standing alone and confused on some strange and unfamiliar shore, full of emotions and memories but also feeling utterly lost. Dmitri headed to daycare, feeling a little apprehensive like every day about how Melody would handle the move away from the comforts of home. He always went through a bit of separation anxiety while leaving her. That gut-wrenching feeling was natural; but Dmitri couldn't help but fret everyday. "You look so nice today. Did you pick out tha
