Never Let Me GO Chapter 1: My Home, New York
~Alyona~I’ve heard that people come to New York for two reasons: to follow their hearts or their dreams.The first time I ever traveled to New York was when I was in my mother’s womb like a peanut.My parent’s short love story brought two kids into this world, including me.Their particular love didn’t last long. Predictably, for the former reason - because of another woman.But the allure of the city that never sleeps has never left my mom.

In the summer, we complain about the heat. In the winter, the cold.At present, it’s a harsh winter. Keeping calm is vital when we are blasted with terrifying storms like the present arctic-polar-vortex-bomb-cyclone.While wa

But for me, you are still that little girl who wanted everything to be done by her mom.”She kissed my cheeks and took her coat from the hanger.“Mom,” I whispered.“Choose a beautiful dress for yourself.

~ALYONA~Standing in front of that gigantic mirror, it lost me in my thought surrounded by these beautiful creations.Indeed, Mario did his best at work. When passion becomes your profession, nothing can stop you.“He is the best,” We heard the screeching sound as another rack came into the room.Mario husked in his manly voice. “Girls, here is my collection. My Assistant will help you try these dresses.” He signaled towards his assistant and sat on the couch next to us.“So, who wants to go first?” Ivy said.We thought it would be good if Olivia started the show.The dress looks fantastic. I would say the red was not bold; it’s the red taken from fresh tomatoes; Olivia seemed so beautiful in that dress. It revealed her flawless skin in this dress. She wore a black mask and made a messy bun as we stared at her without saying a word. She shrugged at us, waiting for some compliment.“It’s gorgeous,” we said together.She gazed at Mario as Mario winked at her, taking pride in making such

~Alyona~I walked on the floor with this unknown, handsome man.As we walked, every peer diverted toward us.All the girls filled their eyes with jealousy as their jaws dropped to the floor. He delicately kept his hand on my waist, and a shiver ran down my spine. Our eyes collide with each other for a few seconds. He looked forward and smiled.His smile could kill thousands, and I was one of them. He got a cute dimple on his right cheek. Oh! God, I want to die for this dimple. Keeping myself calm, I got busy looking around, people gawking at us. Again, with my stupidity, I was about to stumble, but he held my hand.“Are you ok?” He said.His manly voice brushed my ears and suppressed all the surrounding sounds.

No genuine appreciation for the work; it’s all about showing off. The men were complimenting others wives, trying their luck for extramarital affairs, and some were ready to turn their business deals into sustainable relationships by tying their kid’s life together.
