Star in the sky.
I decided to leave for New York as soon as I can. I felt so suffocated in London with all the memories every place I turned to carried and the void I felt due to losing the most important persons in my life. I couldn’t function normally like before without any of them beside me. My pain turned to anger once I realized that no one was coming to my rescue. I hated myself for wasting my life running around to be there for people who needed someone to lean on and now there is no one beside me when I needed them the most. My mom was right, People just don’t stay because we want them to. I was hesitant to go to New York but what are the chances to meet a couple of pop stars accidentally when you walk out of the college campus to get coffee? Maybe one in a thousand to none? So I decided to take my chances. I got admitted into one of the world’s leading art and design school. I decided to take illustration (BFA) as my major, something I’ve always secretly admired at.

Dad's Duty.
After Seven Years, I stepped out of the elevator flicking my hair over my shoulder. I walked lazily towards the direction of my office room removing my sunglasses. My secretary, Lydia came running towards me and joined beside me as I kept walking. She offered me my coffee cup but instead of accepting the cup, I pointed to the file on her hand signaling her to hand it over to me. I opened the file and slowly ran my eyes on the first page of the document inside it as I kept walking towards my room. “This is not what I asked for.” I threw the file on my secretary’s face yelling at her in front of my employees who worked on my floor.“Get me the right one,” I said with a glare and proceeded to my room as she ran back to her desk. I heard multiple ‘Good mornings’ from my staff as I crossed their cubicles but I ignored it all. I entered my office room pushing the glass door rather harshly in anger. My office room was located on the 24th floor of

Why?
When I was lost in my thoughts staring at the serene view through the glass wall from my floor, I heard the door to my office room open suddenly making my body jerk in surprise reeling my mind back to the present.   Listening to the whistle sound coming from behind followed by the ‘thud’ sound of the door closing, I realized who it was without even looking back.   I sighed in annoyance, “Don’t you have some basic manners to knock?” I said turning around with an annoyed look.   Damon gave me a ‘are you talking to me?’ look and pretended to look around like he was searching for someone else in the room.   “Why are you here?” I asked him rolling my eyes.   Suddenly the door opened again revealing two gentlemen carrying a huge table into the room.   “What’s going on?” I asked to no one in particular in confusion watching them bringing the table while grunting.

Destiny.
Destiny has a lot of names, fate, future, divine decree, gods will. Some people say it's karma and some say it’s just coincidences. I never believed in any of those but after that day I didn’t know what to say. I just want to say one thing that I learned from things that happened after that day, you will have to scatter all the pieces first if you want to assemble the jigsaw puzzle perfectly. Life or fate or whatever you want to call it, it has a beautiful way of smearing paint on the canvas only to make an extraordinary piece of art.   “I am sure you’ve known him. He is the most popular among the five of them, and he is about to release a solo album in few months. People are so hyped about this even before the album release so we thought if he debuts as an actor in my film then it would reach a wider audience and gain more support.” Uncle Richard talked passionately. I could see the excitement in his eyes. I understood how much he was happy that Vian agreed to

It's time.
“Ryan? What are you doing here?” I couldn’t believe my own eyes. “Uh… I guess I am your date tonight.” He said with a shy smile. “What? No way. It’s so good to see you, Ryan.” I said excitedly and without thinking I hugged him. He was surprised but he hugged me back letting out a chuckle. I didn’t expect Ryan as my date but when I saw him I felt pure excitement like I was meeting up with a friend after years. I mean he is a friend, but I felt zero awkwardness even though he was my ex-boyfriend. “This is really a sweet surprise,” I said sitting on my chair which he pulled out for me like a gentleman. “I am relieved that you are happy to see me,” he said looking at my eyes while making himself comfortable on his seat. “Of course I am. Why would I not?” I asked him. “You have no idea how nervous I was. I almost left this place a few minutes ago.” He said honestly. “That’s why I asked your father not to tell anything about me to yo

Dream
“I will take care of this, Uncle,” I said in a decided tone thinking that it’s time to meet Vian. “How?” I heard Ryan and Uncle asking me at the same time. “Don’t worry about it. Everything will be okay.” I assured them. I send Ryan and Uncle off assuring them again that I will take care of everything and then I asked my secretary Lydia to get me the D5’s manager’s number. “Is that so? That’s bad. Are you sure that I can’t even get ten minutes of their time?” I asked again, sounding desperately holding my phone tightly. I talked to their manager Mr. Edward once Lydia got me his number. He was polite and spoke like a gentleman once he heard who I was. He said that their schedule was pretty tight for that day and asked me if I wanted to meet up with Vian and Jay later that week. I didn’t want to. I mean I could, but I just wanted to deal with this matter as soon as possible and get back to my life that doesn’t involve them. “Is i

Cosmos.
I slowly walked towards him without breaking eye contact. He straightened up noticing me approaching him. I felt a cold raindrop on my neck, goose bumps broke out all over my body when I stopped to stand just a few steps away from him under the same tree.   “Why are you here?” I blurted it out suddenly. It came out wrong, on the contrary to what I feel. I wanted to hug him and at the same time, I wanted to slap him the moment I saw him. Despite everything that happened in the past, every cell in my body craved him, every synapse in the brain started firing like a firework in his nearness.   “I came to see my best friend.” He said softly looking straight into my eyes.   “I thought you forgot about her,” I told him without believing my own words. Somehow in my heart, I knew he never once stopped thinking about me. ‘Weird, isn’t it?’ or should I say fascinating? That I could read his eyes as clear as I did years ag

Addicted.
Dear diary, Sorry, it's been so long. I haven’t remotely written anything for years. You used to be my secret safe where I could lock away my deepest desires and regrets. I could be completely honest, and you won’t judge me.   But then since I moved to New York, I haven’t been myself. Somehow my life lost its purpose, and I did things just for the sake of doing it. Scratch that. I did things and lived my life because I owe it all to certain two persons whom I learned to love later in my life. And that I didn’t want to admit to anyone… not even to you. Because that is not living… it’s just existing. No human on earth wants to admit that they are nothing in this world… not even to themselves including me.   But that isn’t the only reason. I know Damon’s been snooping around my room looking for you. I know he means well. He just wants to know what’s wrong with me and help me. Sometimes he seems to be the only person in the entire world

Trap.
We all have that one friend who always acts dramatically even for the simplest of things in life. Dev is just one of them and the only one in my life. I never seriously considered the thought of killing someone in my life before that day. What can I say? He just brings out the worst in me. When I reached his home, worry etched on my face, I saw him sitting in front of his TV, wearing pajamas, snacking chips in the middle of the living room leaving the front door open for me. I knew right then, yet again I fell for one of his tricks. “Hey Ava, come on sit and watch. This is so fun.” He said smiling pretending to be innocent patting the seat next to him when he noticed my arrival. If I say that I was burning with rage at that moment, that would be the understatement of the year. “Why did you call me here, Dev?” I asked him gritting my teeth on the verge of losing my patience. “Ah, that,” he said as if he just remembered that he called me there. “I got a

Brother love.
That’s it. Everything was set to go. Vian and I agreed to do the film together. Uncle Richard couldn’t be happier than that. Ryan was a bit reluctant. I knew he wasn’t fond of me spending time with Vian, but he didn’t have another choice. An article about the cast of the film ‘To be with you’ was released. People were already excited about seeing Vian and Jay on the big screen added to that Vian was about to release a solo album so there was no shortage of hypes. In between all of that, suddenly I became the talk of the day. That one lucky girl who gets to act with Vian in a romantic film. I rolled my eyes seeing those comments under the article. I bet it’s a she. I get confused with all those pseudo names. I wanted to say that I would let her do the role instead of me if I could. Oh, how much I wanted to disappear then. I realized agreeing to do that film has been the biggest mistake in my life. It brought unwanted attention to my oh so
