This time, its fate

Armed with his Nikon D90, he walked along the streets of New York, shooting anything that comes into his mind, no one know who he is nor where is he from, all they know that he is a man with dreams. His name is Dominic, he dreams to be a photographer that inspires people who looked at his pictures. He felt that nothing should be in path in pursuing the best and the most inspiring pictures but one day, things changed and he never looked back ever since.

Feeling that today will be his lucky day, Dominic set out to the Central Park with the hope of shooting a series of wonderful pictures, but to his surprise, he found someone special, so special that he couldn’t find any word to describe that feeling that tingles every millimeters of his heart, his heart was beating at an enormous rate, and it happens the moment his focus were on this girl who was passing through the park, eyes met, shot taken, and something happened between them.

Clara was surprised when a man with a camera suddenly appeared before him, without thinking for long; she posed naturally without even thinking, as if it is meant to be like this. Her smiles were so charming that it melts his heart, his concentration caught her attention immediately as if it was like a men standing on the very top of world. The moment their eyes met, it almost felt like its dejavu, as if similar scenes happened before. Something was going on between them and it was definitely a pleasant experience.

Months after the unexpected shoot, Dominic spotted Clara as he flips through The Vogue, and he decided that he need to do something to be closer to this person that shook his world so much, there must be a connection somewhere. And so, Dominic started shooting fashion shoots and accepting jobs from fashion house, just so that he could be a step closer to Clara. He was noted as one of the most promising fashion photographer after a few shootings where he successfully captured the essence, utilizing lightings to enhance the charisma of every piece of fabric, he was the most sought after photographer within months.

Despite the fact that Dominic is one of the most promising photographer in the fashion industry, Clara didn’t know who he was until one day, on a run way, similar scenario, with the same old camera, same old photographer, she was wearing this dress, so elegant, in white, like a princess, she walked according to the beats of the music playing in the background, flashes from camera didn’t not drive her attention away from giving her best to present the dress to the fashion giants, again, their eyes met, she stood still, looking right into his eyes, images of Sir Luther ran through her mind, the pain of having a knife piercing through her body was immediately felt, she was, the Lady, Lady Eliza.

Dominic’s hands were shaking, he couldn’t take a shot, all that he could think of was the woman he loved so much, dying slowly before him, he was helpless, he was alone, but not now, he rushed towards the stage, looked into her eyes, kissed her forehead gently, held her hand, and both of them ran towards the exit, with tears in their eyes but with a smile that never ever lived in their heart before, they set on a journey to a place they called home.

Years later, they were found on this remote island of the Mediterranean sea, doing what they do best, Dominic, as usual, is always roaming around the island looking for that very shot, Clara on the other hand, sat on the sandy beach, savoring every single moment she have with her beloved Dominic. His shots never failed to hit the covers of photography magazines but his heart never failed to shower all his love towards Clara.

They may be five thousand years behind time, but their love shall lives through time till fate brings them together.
