Chapter 564: Struggle of Alexi.
Alexi sighed as she looked out of the big glass window making Martin frown.
"Alexi..." Martin called making her turn her head towards him.
"What happened?" Martin asked.
"Is... My career bothering you?" Alexi asked making Martin frown.
"What do you mean by your career is bothering me?" Martin asked making Alexi take a deep breath.
"Umm... You know, from childhood... I don't know how... But my passion for modeling increased day by day... When I was a child... A 8 years old...
I remember I saw some modeling show... And from that time, I have started getting attracted to that proffession... I don't even know why I started liking it... But the feeling is just delightful whenever I see such shows... It's just makes me happy... I didn't stop seeing them again from that moment." Alexi said with a smile making Martin just stare at her.
"Mom was always used to scold me for seeing something boring stuff... But dad was just... You know, used to support me and encourage me for everything I want to do in my life... But, modeling was something, we have no idea about! He has no idea that I want to do modeling. Though, I never realised that I want to do modeling because I was still a kid.
But seeing those shows, made me want to do too... And I want to walk like them... With that confidence! And I just used to get ready like them and just used to walk around the house like them..." Alexi said as she laughed making Martin smile at her but he can clearly se ethe glimpse of her tears in her eyes but she just covered it with her beautiful smile.
"Sam... Used to support me in getting ready... But Mom used to make me and Sam get ready so beautifully every weekend. Dad and mom used to click a lot of pictures in our flower garden. Sam was not much interested in this stuff...
But still, she would do it because it was fun for us and we 4 used to enjoy that weekend like this spending time with each other and it would make Mom and Dad so happy seeing their daughters growing up so beautiful day by day." Alexi said with a smile.
"I don't even know how that passion to do modeling started inside me... It just did. Sam used to tell me that it was not our cup of tea... Because Modeling and Hollywood was something that out of our dream's... But, she knows if I want to do it... I will do it anyways...
But we know it will be really hard and and impossible for us. But she is the one who used to help me get ready and click so many pictures." Alexi said with a tight smile.
"Many said... That... I am dreaming something big which I am not capable off doing it... From the time, I decided that my passion is this and I want to do this in my future... They laughed at me... Saying, I can't...
Yeah... I was beautiful... Well, I am still beautiful... Though, those days... And our status was something not so good... And we can't dream for something to do modeling." Alexi said.
"I asked my parents when I was 14. That I am interested in modeling and please give me permission to do it. Yes, I was not mature enough... But they knows that, I am so interested in fashion seeing me growing up with the kind of fashion. Mom was okay with it... But Dad isn't..." Alexi said as she tucked her hair behind her ear.
"He doesn't want me to choose this proffession when I am just 14. He thought, that I just telling it for joke or something. But he never thought, that I am so serious about it. He said, Do it when you are mature enough to take your decision. But not now." Alexi said and she smiles at Martin.
"He tried to make me understand that Modeling is something I shouldn't dream off... Because this proffession is something that we have no idea what might can happen... He doesn't want me to suffer... But he wants me to support. Though, not at that age." Alexi said as she chuckled.
"I requested him a lot... But he had never listen to me... But I still, tried and sent pictures to various modeling agency... And I kept sending for almost 2 years... I used to cry... Thinking that why can't even one agency choose me?
Am I looking that bad? And stuff like that... I was just Little... It used to hurt a lot for that little girl's heart whenever she faced rejection in her passion work... Where she has never faced rejection in her whole life..." Alexi said as she chuckled and a tear falls down from her eyes but she quickly wiped it off as she takes a deep breath.
"It was hard... Very hard... Seeing me cry like this, Sam used to tell me that... Maybe I should leave this... And choose some different Passion... And used to tell me that, maybe this is not meant for me...
But little did she Knows that, this passion suits me but she never forced me to give up on this... She always told me to give another try after saying that this might not for me... She supported and I again... Used to send my pictures agian..." Alexi said as she smiled.
Just then... The waiters walked towards them and server their food and as soon as they server, they walked away leaving them both alone again...
Martin was just so interested in this... Because he never asked her how she recognised that this is her passion and wants to work for this... And wanted to know more about her journey... Because it's not easy for a middle class girl to come to Hollywood and become a A-lister. It should take a long of struggle behind that A-lister name of hers in the Hollywood.
And he wants to listen to that every struggle.
