So dear 4D students..please do your work well. Please inform your friends about this also. Thank you.
Sample Question: Write a story ending with, “That was the last time he saw her.”
Jack Raymond was the most popular boy in school. He was like the typical Mills & Boon hero – tall, dark and handsome. He was like a Greek God with a well-sculpted body and features that even men envied. Every girl in school admired him openly. Jack was also warm and caring. This endeared him to one and all. He had several close friends of both genders but he was closer to Jennifer, a childhood friend.
Soon after finishing high school, both Jack and Jennifer were accepted into the same local university. Jack studied accountancy while Jennifer studied psychology. In their final year, they fell in love with each other. It was like a match made in heaven. They complemented each other in every possible aspect – looks, intelligence and temperament.
Upon graduation, Jack was hired by a leading accounting firm while Jenifer joined a private university. Both worked hard and they flourished in their respective careers. They were also ready to settle down. The marriage was simple, attended by close family members and friends. Initially, they rented an apartment in one of the suburbs. Within a short span of five years, they became well-established in their chosen fields and they prospered financially. Jack was offered a senior management post in his company and Jennifer decided to quit work to become a stay-at-home mum.
Life was good for them. They bought a semi-detached house in an exclusive neighbourhood. They dined at the best restaurants and frequented popular clubs. Their two children were literally born with a silver spoon in their mouths. They went to the best private schools and had the best tutors to coach them personally. Life was good for them… until Lily came.
Lily was Jennifer’s younger sister. Lily had got married and divorced, not once but thrice. She seemed to change husbands faster than movie stars. Knowing that her sister needed her support after her recent divorce, Jennifer welcomed Lily into her home but she soon came to regret this decision. She realised that Lily was trying to attract Jack! Lily unashamedly took every possible opportunity to flirt with Jack. Jennifer also realised that Jack was giving Lily too much attention and falling into her clutches.
At first, she advised Lily to maintain her distance from Jack. Of course, Lily brushed it off by saying that she saw Jack as a good friend and nothing more. Being a psychologist, Jennifer knew Lily was lying through her teeth. She could read the tell-tale signs from Lily’s behaviour. Finally she confronted Jack. He accused Jennifer of being jealous of her sister. This led to many arguments between them. Finally, when she could not tolerate it anymore, she gave Jack an ultimatum:
“Either she leaves or I leave!”
Jack’s response shocked her, to say the least.
“You can go wherever you want. Lily is staying.”
Hurt and disappointed Jennifer packed her bags and left, taking with her both her children.
Jennifer decided to move to another town. She started working again. Slowly, she picked up the pieces and rebuilt her life. Meanwhile, Jack fell deeper and deeper into Lily’s clutches. He spent lavishly on her. He bought her expensive cars and clothes, and took her for frequent holidays abroad. As a result, his work began to suffer. His performance was dismal and the company’s profits started to dip. He lost his job! Devastated, he related this to Lily. Instead of commiserating with him, she smiled and said:
“My revenge is complete.”
“What do you mean, Lily?” asked a bewildered Jack.
“You snubbed me in school! You knew I was interested in you but you said I was nothing more than a little sister. I felt hurt and humiliated. You were responsible for my failed marriages, Jack. I tried looking for you in all the men I had married but to no avail. Now, I have made you fall for me but this time I am the one in control. I no longer love you, Jack. I waited for fifteen years to execute my revenge. I have destroyed you and Jennifer.”
It finally dawned upon him that Jennifer had been right about her sister. She was a gold-digger and very vengeful. With no one left in his life, he turned to alcohol to drown his sorrows. He tried to locate Jennifer, but no one knew where she was. One day, while going to an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, he saw her. He called out to her and he begged her for her forgiveness.
“I forgive you, Jack. But I cannot forget the pain and humiliation I have suffered all these years. Goodbye, Jack.” With that she walked away. That was the last time he saw her.
