Because of you

Stumbled and Tripped

Tay's POV:

"Oh mom, how many times do you have to remind me? I'll be there on time ok? Hmmm...Yeah bye."

This is third time mom called, telling me to come back home early. I don't know what is the reason behind this but she seems like excited.

"Come in," Mild answered after I knocked at her cabin.

"Hello boss."

"Yo. Did you missed me so much that you've come here to see me?" she asked.

"Well no. But I've a request."

"What's the matter?" she asked again.

"I need to go home early today. Before 6."

"All so sudden? Is everything ok?" she frowned at me.

"Yup everything is fine. It is my mom who wants me to come home early. Don't know why though," I said while pressing my temple.

"Hmm.. You are special case. So I'll grant your request. But before you leave take this with you," she gave me an envelop.

I looked at her in confusion. She gestured me to open it. So I did.

"Ticket? Of Paris?"

"Hmm...I'm sure you heard about Paris Photo Exhibition. It'll held on next week. So you're going there as I select you."

Paris Photo Exhibition! I doubt if I heard it wrong.

"W-Wow that's great boss. Are you just sending me over there?"

"Oh no no...Arm, Lee and others will go with you. I hope you don't have any objection?" she raised her eyebrow.

"Why would I have any objection? That was my dream that will be come true," I said with great excitement.

"Then just show them what you've got. Okay?" she also encouraged me.

I reached my home before 6 as my mom said. I was so excited to tell everyone about it. Before I went to my house, I saw another car at the garage.

Are we expecting some guests?

I knock at the door, but an unfamiliar person opened it.

"Good evening Tay."

Wait, how does she know my name?

"G-Good evening," I greeted her.

"You didn't recognized me?"

She looks familiar but where did I saw her?

"It's ok. When we meet, both of us were kids back then. By the way, I'm Nink."

Now I remember.

"Ah! It's you. No doubt I couldn't recognized you."

"You already forgot me after meeting her huh," mom said as she came behind Nink.
