Ariane’s POV

“Oh, absolutely! We just received some rare roses and beautiful orchids. I’m sure you’ll love them,” Rani explained while showing me some flower pots in the corner of the shop.

I approached, captivated by the mesmerizing colors. Each flower has a story, and I wanted to hear them.

“Rani, we need to rearrange some flower arrangements to welcome our new customers. Let’s create something special,” I said with a growing enthusiasm.

“Sure, ma’am! I’ll help,” Rani replied, her excitement contagious.

As we began to rearrange the flowers, beautiful memories started flowing back. I recalled the moments when Mark and I designed decorations for wedding events or when customers came in with broad smiles, taking home the bouquets we created with love.

    Ariane’s POV After the wedding ceremony, I spotted a shabby, thin woman standing a bit away from the crowd. Wasn't that my mother? What happened to her? I wanted to approach her, but there was a sense of doubt and pain. She had betrayed my father when I was young. She nearly abandoned me and all the mistreatment I endured from the woman I called mother.Mark held my hand tightly. "I know this is hard for you.

I wanted to believe that my mother could change, but what if she was just there to ask for money or take advantage of the situation?After thinking for a moment, I finally felt that I should give my mother a chance. I walked slowly towards the woman, my heart racing."Mom?" I called out hesitantly.The woman turned to me, her eyes weary and filled with regret. "

"Grandma just needs a little time to rest. Drawing can be a good way to help her feel better. We can all help." Zara had started drawing, creating her imaginary world on paper. She drew bright-colored flowers and a blue sky, occasionally glancing at her grandmother. "Grandma, look! This is the flower I made. Do you like it?" My mother smiled, although her smile seemed a bit forced. "It's very beautiful, Zara. You have an extraordinary talent. One day, you'll be a great artist." Zara beamed with pride at her grandmother's praise. "I want to draw Grandma too! Can I?" "Of course, dear. But I might not look as beautiful as those flowers," my mother replied, laughing softly.

Maybe we can start over, even though I know it won’t be easy."I nodded slowly, feeling a small hope growing in my heart. "Maybe we can try. But I need time, mom.

Let’s start from the beginning."And with that, that night became the beginning of our journey to rediscover one another, unraveling the tangl

All of it now felt like a distant dream.After the fire that consumed my house was put out, the atmosphere around me felt empty. Smoke still curled among the ruins, and the acrid smell stung my nose.
