"Oy, babies!" Itzel calls out softly making sounds as if she is kissing the air. And soon two toddling four-legged figures come trudging into her way of sight. One is brown and white in colour, and the other one is black and brown. Smiling brightly, she makes that same kissing sound some more and the two little babies start wiggling their tails at her after lifting their head to up as she stands in her balcony. Pulling two soft biscuits from her hands out, she lets them fall on the ground below and those puppies begin fighting cutely to eat both the pieces by themselves and she laughs at them as they growl very cutely at each other. Soon, two more dogs come to them. They are the father and mother of the two puppies. Her heart feels contented as she takes in the scene infront of her. Roxy, the mother of the babies, licks her children while the father, Chotu, licks Roxy. Even if they are animals, that too stray, they know what love is! They have a family to live with even if they don't
Whipping her head up, Itzel looks him in the eye. His cold grey eyes which seem a little too unnatural, hold an unwavering belief in them. A belief that tells her and almost draws her to absorb in what he just said is the truth. That indeed, she is not a bad omen or anything but she is just like any other human being out there who are lucky enough to have this life and happy that they have a family to love and take care of. But who is she kidding? She is just not normal! With this attitude of hers at least, no she is not! And, she does not have a family to call her own. Yet. Or maybe, she will never have one, with that problem of hers. She lowers her head to look at anywhere but him. Dmitri immediately notices the change in her demeanor and wants to ask her many questions as yo why she would think of herself as this. But deciding against it, he just sticks to the case on hand. "Look how peacefully he is sleeping now!" He almost cooes at the puppy infront of them. Itzel too, can't hel
Coming out of the master bedroom, Dmitri descends down the stairs and towards his room. But before he could go into the room, his eyes fall on a man who is behaving all friendly and touchy with Itzel. With one of his hand holding onto a briefcase, the man, who looks like he is a mere twenty something years old, has his other hand around her shoulders. She too, is not opposing his touch! What the hell is wrong with her? His palms get fisted tightly as he sees the both of them coming in through the door and walk past him up the stairs. Is this the same guy whom she was talking to earlier? Without wasting another second, he rushes to go behind them and follow them discreetly. Not like they seem to notice him anyway. They are just too busy with each other's company to even notice his presence. And that kind of vexed hell out of Dmitri. Unknowingly, he wants all of her attention just on him! Even if it sounds too selfish, he does not care at this point. All he wants is Itzel! So, now comi
Back in her room, Itzel sits on the balcony chair while staring out at nothing in particular. Her mind is full of thoughts of a certain someone right at this moment. Valerie. It was the name Dmitri had given to his American corn snake which he was so fond of. It has been two years since she has heard anything from him. And she does not happen to hear anything about him in the news as well. For a successful bussinessman like him, he sure is a secretive and not so swanky one out there. Itzel has known him for six months from very near. But before that, she has been keeping tabs on him with the help of her father's secretary who so happens to be in love with her antics till now. When she was a mere girl of seventeen, she was sure that this was the man whom she needs in her life as her man. How naive was she to even think of such a thing back then! But now, she would not give a second thought to that sort of idea in her head. If it ever comes back to her. Dmitri was fond of keeping exoti
With a loud sigh Itzel plops on the chair infront of her dressing table while holding a beautiful sequin mint green sundress in her hands. Her brown eyes look so dull as she stares at her reflection in the mirror. Why does she have to go for this breakfast date, which is also a blind date for her? Just because her father said, no, ordered her to! Every fiber in her body is screaming for her to not go. But does she have a say in it? No! With another sigh, a short one, she gets to work. After applying a little foundation, eyeliner, some mascara and compact powder and lastly some pink lipstick, she dons the sundress and pairs it with a light green sling bag in which she keeps all her essentials like her phone, her chapstick, some mouth fresheners and some cash. Wearing a pair of black stilletos completes her look for today. And she is all set to go out. When she descends down the stairs, her father's secretary is standing there waiting for her. "Hello, Itzel darling!" She greets her with
"Oh, no! Damon, stop it now!" Itzel rambles out with a humph. But Damon being Damon does not listen to her and keeps on making her fun. "My sweet, sweet Itsi is scared of geckos! Oh, really? Geckos? They are the sweetest reptiles I know!" Damon rants and rants about actually how good geckos are. Apparently, Damon, her best friend from elementary school, has got a gecko to look after for a few days since its owner is out of station. This is one of his many part time jobs as a teenager in high school. "Excuse me, I am not scared of that thing, okay! But look at him! He is an obnoxious creature." She literally cringes while looking at him standing at a two feet distance from it. Damon places one of his palms on his chest and gasps, faking hurt. "Do not say like that, Itsi! Look how sad he has become because of what you just said! Oh, no baby, don't mind her. She is just jealous because she is not as beautiful as you, okay?" This time Itzel gasps at him. How could he even say that? She
Pacing back and forth in her balcony, Itzel feels like she is going to faint anytime soon as she starts hyperventilating. Ruci Dmitri was there in the restaurant where she went for her breakfast date! But why was he there? And with whom? Needless to say, maybe he was still with that woman who had red hair and green eyes. But it could be that he is with someone else now. Who knows! Oh, she is going out of topic again. The matter here is why is he back now? After two long years! Or maybe, he is here for his business? And what did he say? A pleasant coincidence? It was anything but pleasant, at least on her side. Their meeting was anything but pleasant, but sure it came as a surprise to her. She has got to see Ruc after two years! Surely he has changed a lot. His face was clean shaven and he has gained more muscle now. But what has not changed even a bit were his azure colured eyes. Those beauties never fail to draw her into them. And what surprised her even more is that he did not look
"Oh, look at you! You look beautiful!" Her ma compliments her. Donned in a night sky blue colored body fit gown which has two slits starting from just below the knee, Itzel is all set to go out for the movie night. Hearing her words, she blushes and with a soft smile mumbles a shy thank you to her. Before she can say something else, a knock comes at her bedroom's door. She tells whoever is at the door to come in since the door is not locked. And in comes Mr. Taylor. As soon as he steps in, his breath gets hitched which he so subtly tries to hide from the ladies present in the room. Standing infront of him is Itzel in that beautiful dress looking stunning. He notices that Itzel is looking at him with a different look, like she is curious and thankful at the same time. What is it with her? "Mrs. Singh, Mr. Singh is looking for you. He says that he has told you that he would have his dinner early tonight which you did not inform me before." He tells her to which she gasps. "Oh, did he
