A letter from me to thee

Another day

I always wanted to do something adventurous and meritorious, just like in movies. I want to obtain a ton of success in life. Usually people, desire for a sumptuous lifestyle and to be able to dwell their wealth. While I wish to be able to make an attempt to ascertain the purpose of life.

                 These words of wisdom were being noted down in my diary by me while laying down on the carpet. Abruptly I heard my door opening not serenely rather aggressively.
"Lia what is this behavior?", mom questioned me giving an infuriated look
"what is it mom?", I questioned back patiently wating for a response.
"I had been calling you downstairs from the past 10 minutes, yet I did not receive any answer", she replied.
"wait...you called me?", I asked surprisingly.
"Lia I am honestly concerned about your negligent behaviour", She spoke while placing a hand on my shoulder.

                 I was honestly flabbergasted because sometimes, I become completely oblivious to my surroundings. My thoughts distract me too much to even be able to achieve them.
"I apologize mom...but why were you calling me though?", I decided to ask her.
"Well sweetheart I needed a hand in the kitchen work because some guests are coming over", She said while sitting down on the corner of the bed.
"Oh! I totally forgot about that, lets go mom i will help you", I quickly stood up. Mom smiled at me and we went to the kitchen.

            I was helping mom cook the food and everything was going pretty well until I saw
a beautiful butterfly.
" It is so pretty"
" where will it go?"
" wait is that another butterfly?"
I was so engaged in admiring the butterflies. Suddenly mom tapped on my shoulder causing me to snap back.
"What is so intriguing outside?"
" No nothing", I replied firmly.
  
           I was tired and somewhat annoyed because I helped mom cook a whole rotisserie chicken, mashed potatoes gravy, Macroni and cheese along with custurd and jello for dessert. I was inquisitive to know who was visiting because mom cooked a diverse variety of dishes and dad was also bringing the sodas. While thinking about this I realized that I forgot to call Emily today. I swiftly dialed Emily's number on my phone.

            She picked up the call hastily and shouted almost ripping my ears off with her voice louder than a speaker.
"Lia you would not believe me!"
"Woah! Calm down I almost lost my ears there and yeah what is the excitement about?", I said while sitting down on my bed.
"You know the art competition I participated in, I got the 1st position and they really liked my work. Oh my God, Lia they offered to admission me to an art college with them paying for all the expenses and in future if they liked my work they would let me work with them!", Emily spoke hurriedly in one breath.
Wow! That is amazing Emily, I am so proud of you. I told you that you are talented", I answered while smiling.
" The fact that Sam did not win anything kinda makes me feel contented", she chuckled.
"honestly he deserved that for bullying others and flexing his expensive cars and stuff,he is so rude sometimes", I agreed.
 
           After congratulating Emily I recieved a text from Sam which was improbable. The text said,
Lia this is sam, I want to talk to you regarding something very important.
I was bewildered with this text and to kill the curiosity I decided to reply,
What is it sam?
After about 5 minutes I finally got a reply,
I do not have so much free time like you to write a whole para or some to explain, meet me tomorrow at 4 p.m In rose café ,you can bring your friend too if you want to. It is a pretty good offer as you are getting some coffee which I would pay for as well.
I was not surprised with his choice of words. After thinking about it a little and consulting  Emily I left a text,
ok then see you at 4 p.m
I was about to put my phone down when it vibrated as I saw Sam's text.
Sounds perfect.
And then the door bell rang clearly indicating that the guests had arrived. I decided to pay them a visit. I peeked over them from the stairs to see mom's childhood friend came to visit her after 7 years along with her kids and husband.
"Aww so that's why mom was so happy"
I went downstairs and greeted everyone. Then we had a yummy dinner together discussing old memories. Such a cliché right?
            This whole time I was wondering the reason Sam messaged me.This felt strange but at the same time I was kinda happy.Mom entered my room so I quickly pushed away all the thoughts and pretended to sleep. I could feel her putting the blanket on me properly and turning off the light.
