Flowers for my parents
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56I woke up in the midnight with the nightmare again. Even the sleeping tablet couldn't help me tonight. It's exactly twelve am in the midnight. I took out the photo frame from my wardrobe which has the only photo of my family. A happy family like we used to be.
"This is the photo we're clicking on tenth birthday of our princess, everyone should give the brightest smile okay. See, just like me!" Daddy had said with a bright smile.
"Huh! Everyone knows that I have the best smile.You fell in love with me because of my smile. Remember, you said that my smile is the best one in the world while proposing me." Mom had said with a proud smile on her face.
Tears started rolling down my face when I remembered this sweet talk I had with my parents on my tenth and last birthday I celebrated with my parents.
"You both have the best smile on this universe mom, dad. Your smile used to bright up my world. But now see, my world has gone dark without you and your smile." I caressed the photo frame, my mom and dad were the best.
<End of POV>
Ivana stayed on the sofa with photo frame for a long time and came back to senses when a ray of sunlight passed through the windows to her beautiful face. She had a long shower today, wore a black top with black cotton pant and tied her hair into high ponytail. She drove away to the flower shop after taking her bag, phone and car keys. She bought white lilies and red roses and drove away to the graveyard.
Standing in front of the tomb of her parents, Ivana couldn't help but shed silent tears. "Mom, look I brought your favourite red roses. These roses are just beautiful like you. And dad, look these are your favourite white lilies which are as beautiful as your smile. It's been thirteen years dad, mom. Thirteen years since you left me alone in this world but there's not even a single day when I didn't miss you. Why did you left your princess alone? I.... I love you mom dad... sob sob.... Please come back sob sob...."
She was shedding tears and was thinking about her parents but a phone call brought her back to reality. "Hey happy birthday darling" Miya spoke from the other side of phone.
"You know there's nothing happy about this day Miya. This is the worst day of my life. I just wish this day comes to an end as soon as possible. The pain this day gives me every year is extreme." Ivana said with teary eyes.
"Don't do this Iva. I'm Sure your parents wouldn't like to see you sad on your birthday from heaven right? At least be happy for them. You're the most strong woman I've ever seen in my life baby girl. You'll overcome this day as well. I want to meet you. Meet me at lunch okay."
"Okay, see you and thank you for speaking to me. I feel a lot relieved now. Thank you Miya."
"I love you darling. See you soon. ummaahh..."
Ivana sobered up and made up her mind to act strong as always. She cannot let others know about her vulnerability. After spending all these years under struggle, she has learnt that the world only laughs upon your pain.
She drove away to the company and parked her car in the garage. Later, she took deep long breaths and put on a fake smile before entering the elevator.

"Good morning ma'am." Mr. Wilson greeted her with a gentle smile. "Good morning Mr. Wilson. So what's my schedule today?" "I've arranged meeting with the company we finalised the other day. And after that, there are couple of files, you need to have a look upon them so that we can go further regarding the arrangements for upcoming event. Also senior boss wants to see you." Mr. Wilson said in a single breath. "Okay. I'll go have a talk with boss first. What's the time for meeting?" "They're coming here exactly on eleven ma'am." "Right. I'll go first then." With this, she moved to the cabin where her boss was working. She knocked the door. A man in early sixties welcomed her inside the cabin. "Good morning sir. I got to know that you wanted to see me, how may I help you sir?" "Good morning miss Ivana. How's the preparation for event going on?" "Everything is going on good sir.

Ivana had a meeting with the company at eleven. The meeting went on for two hours. All the terms were finalized regarding the number and types of models necessary for the event. Also, the male model who's going to walk on ramp with Ivana was selected. An international model was appointed for walking down the ramp with her. Although the model was busy, Chairman of the company himself had arranged him for the day of event. At around one, she got call from Miya. "Excuse me Miss Managing head, have you seen my best friend? She had promised me to meet at lunch and I'm waiting for her from half an hour and there's still not a single phone call from her." Miya said showing her fake anger. "Oh sorry miss Miya Mellow, your best friend was busy with a meeting and also with some other stuff that she clearly thinks is not her cup of tea." Ivana replied teasing her back. "Oh miss Managing head must not underestimate my best friend. You know she's a very strong woman and t

"You, Ivana Williams is getting scared just because of a ramp walk? Are you serious Iva? You've crossed lots of hurdles and I can't even think how you got that courage to do so. You've always been confident and courageous Iva. You've always accepted what life has given to you and proved that you're capable of fighting for yourself no matter what. You're my inspiration, you're my SUPERWOMAN Iva." Miya said holding her hands. "I know Miya. But this is different. I had a vision in my mind regarding whatever I did till today. But modelling and ramp work? I've never thought about it. How will I do that? Flaunting and showing the dress and impressing others. That's not what I've ever imagined of. What if I couldn't justify the dress due to my lacking? I'm so worried." Ivana replied scratching her forehead. "Look at me Ivana" Miya ordered her."Now look straight into my eyes and listen carefully to whatever I'm saying okay? You remember the day when you were sent to orph

Ivana was so touched with her words that she couldn't help but hug her tightly and burst out crying. "I'm so lucky to have you in my life Miya. I'm so damn lucky to have you. I must have surely done some good deeds in my previous life to get you as my best friend Miya. You're not only my best friend but also my sister. No, soul sister. What would've I done if you weren't with me? Thank you so much Miya, thank you so much." "You don't need to thank me darling. In fact I'm thankful to you. You brought up colours to my life. You made me understand what friendship is, how does it feel to have someone who cares about you, who is always there for you and the one who'll be there to make you laugh when you don't even want to smile." Miya gently wiped all her tears. Ivana also wiped tears from Miya's face and that was when Miya realised that she was also crying. "Oh see, you crybaby made me cry as well and my makeup is ruined.

"Chill baby chill. Don't get so panicked. You'll do it. Take it easy girl." Miya tried to make her feel relaxed. "I'll have to start it quick Miya. I'll have to look over every components regarding modelling. There's so much to do and I'll have to start doing it as soon as possible." "Relax baby. Why fear when your sassy best friend is here?

Oh babe if only I didn't have Mark, my dear boyfriend in my life, I'd have fallen for you xoxo." Miya said pouting her lips. Ivana burst out laughing at her comment.

And then I'll ask one of my model friend to give you some tips and help you out tomorrow so that yo

When Ivana reached home, she was extremely exhausted so she ordered pizza for dinner. After taking shower and having pizza, she closed her eyes and rested her head on pillow. A small smile escaped from her lips when she remembered today's day. She took out her diary and started writing. "Today's day is the day I try to avoid every year, the day when I lost my everything. But this year, this day was not as bad as it used to be. Maybe this is because I'm getting another chance to make my father proud. Today I got to know how much Miya loves me and I realised her importance in my life is much more than I imagined. She is the one who encouraged me, to walk on ramp. I had a roller coaster ride of emotions today. I felt happy to have someone who's there for me, sad cause my parents aren't with me and I felt disgusted remembering those people." "Those people who I thought were my family. People on whom my parents and I trusted the most. Those People who chose money over blo
In Search of Love Season 1 Ruthless CEO
"Good morning sir." A girl wearing short blue skirt and a white top revealing her cleavage and a pair of high heels greeted to the man sitting on the chair of his cabin who was engrossed in his work. The man didn't move a bit from what he was doing. The girl moved inside the cabin, sat on the edge of table, bent slightly towards the man seated on the chair. Her dress was extremely revealing. "Good morning sir." The man still didn't give any attention. The girl moved behind the chair and started moving her hands over his neck and chest, seducing him. She whispered on his ear "Good morning sir." The man sitting on the chair looked at the hands roaming around his chest, then he looked at the girl with icy cold blue eyes with a sharp fierce gaze. The girl was scared but still maintained her posture. She then smiled shyly and said, "So our sir finally got some time to look over this beauty." After saying this, she sat on his lap and continued. "I knew sir wo

"Angelo, you clearly know I hate women inside my cabin. What was this woman doing inside my cabin? And also I've clearly warned the department to select decent staffs. What kind of staffs are being hired? Four other women were roaming around me in the working hours, trying to seduce me instead of working only in this month and today this woman even had the courage to enter in my cabin. Is that the reason why company pays them?" The man sitting on the chair shouted. "Ss... sorry sir... actually that woman told me that Chairman sir wants to hear from me and I had to rush to the reception. This won't be repeated sir." Angelo said trembling in fear. "You told this earlier as well and I believed in you. You've been working with me since a very long time and you know me well Angelo. You were serious on your work before. Is it that you don't want to work anymore?" The man asked in fierce voice. "N.. no no sir ...Actually...." "Hey young man." A man of about
