" And the award goes to- Mr.JACKSON LIZZY MARTIN!
Congratulations,Jackson"
The host made an applause for him. Jackson raised from his seat and hugged his mother. Jewel smiled , while Viviaan clicked pictures.
Rolex and few of his employees who came to the event cheered for him with all their might,loudly!
Jackson had never really smiled like that before. The people he loved were with him. He felt special.
Jackson entered the dias and accepted his award. Too bad, Bianca was the one to give it out.
" Thank you! I really mean it."
Jackson cleared his throat and continued his thank-you speech.
" Few years back, when I ventured into my own start up,my only goal was to do well and not go bankrupt. I wanted 'incinerator' to be affordable and at the same time offer exceptional quality too. My team is the biggest treasure that I earned in this journey. Our goal is still the same. To protect every gadget that we are allowed to. I am truly honoured by this appreciation and I will take this with even more passion to work harder than ever. I dedicate this award to my team,my treasure!"
The crowd gave him a loud round of applause.
'Damn!'
He was confident and Jewel found him shine brightly. In her eyes, Jackson looked really sexy.
He was dressed in black tuxedo,his black and bouncy hair parted sideways. His wedding ring shined the brightest.
He continued
" Today is even more special because my family is also here to cheer for me. I don't know if I will ever find such an opportunity again so let me say it all today.
Mom- Thank you..... Thank you for instilling an unsettling hunger in my heart to do well. To not settle for anything but excellence. I am still trying my best to make you proud everyday.I will always be your proud son,Mom"
Lizzy didn't bother to wipe her tears. She was a proud proud mother today.
"My brother Viviaan, Now I know that being my brother was not easy for you. I was harsh on you. Situations were harsh on you...... But today, I want to thank you for being the best brother I could ever ask for. I am grateful that I had you to knock some real sense into me,when I couldn't think straight. Had you not been there, I would have made a really dumb decision long back ago. Thank you,Viviaan.... For being a wise brother to me"
Viviaan murmured
"Gosh,he is embarassing me"
Yet, a tear gave away his real feelings.
Jackson left a deep breath out and continued
"And to my wife Jewel...."
There was pindrop silence when he mentioned her.
Her heart was racing and unfmiliar eyes were staring into her soul.
Its no secret that they were over. Their infamous law-court fight was very well documented in the newspaper.Many even wondered why was she appearing with Jackson everywhere.At Ethan's party and now at this award show.
"Thank you."
Jackson was scared. His confident voice shook a bit.
He glanced at her nervously and continued
"I am genuinely grateful that I met you in this lifetime. You made me a better person,Jewel."
She just smiled but was low-key hoping he would stop. Those stripping eyes were not stopping.
"Aaa..."
A lady was screaming.
As they turned back, a woman was screaming, trying to wake-up an unconscious man,someone who looked like he is in his 60s. Rolex dialled for an ambulance.
