TERMS UNDER REVISION EP-10 (FINALE)
ARIS It was the next morning and I was lying on my bed staring at the ceiling. Yesterday’s conversation was still playing in my mind and it was going to be tough. Given the last few days my gut had some uneasiness but it wasn’t a bad one. I knew that maybe my project wouldn’t…

TERMS UNDER REVISION – EP 08
KABIR After a quiet weekend, classes reopened. I hadn’t seen Aris for two days, hoping the distance would settle things between us. The class was full of enthusiasm and innovation, but I felt unusually quiet because those deep brown eyes weren’t speaking up. The classroom emptied slower than usual.

TERMS UNDER REVISION – EPISODE 7
ARIS Okay, Aris. Yesterday’s conversation was merely professional, related to the model, I said, looking at my reflection in the mirror.

ARIS For the first time, I was irritated by the notion — not because my opinion wasn’t accepted, but because my core was challenged. And that agitation took a different shape inside me. Not loud.Not emotional.Precise. “Control slipping.” That sentence triggered something in me. Not fear. Correction. If control is slipping, that means there was…

I shut the book and soaked in the view outside the hotel window. No thoughts. No worries. Just quiet and calm.That calm lasted exactly one minute.My assistant…

ARIS “Helloo Miss Laurent! Are we ready for the talk panel or are we still boycotting good speeches?” “You know you’re insufferable, Miss Michela. Just because you find something motivating and I don’t doesn’t mean it goes the same for everyone. I, for one, am thrilled to attend this panel. There is going to be…

BETA ACCESS ARIS “What is the one thing we crave most in life?” the speaker asked, pausing just long enough to own the silence. “Stability.” The word echoed through the auditorium like it had weight. According to her, stability was built through passion, through emotional investment, through love. Nothing in this world, she said, survives…
