India: The Passing Day

Chapter 32: The End

Flash forward
1973

A few years had gone by, everything seemed to fall into place. Cynthia had began selling some of her paintings and even managed to get noticed on the london art scene. She had opened up a gallery and also was premiering her first exhibition at the london gallery of art.

She finally felt so accomplished. Julian was growing every day julian now 12 years old was just as active as ever, now his interest was music he was learning the guitar with the help of uncle paul and his father.

John was over every weekend, and was a better father than he had ever bee. And while still a bit hard cyn and yoko could actually speak without it being awkward anymore.

Tom had been over to visit since, and was constantly writing cyn. He had gotten back together with emily after a lot of work, and they had another child, a girl.

Riya was doing just as good. Writing cyn, she said that she was as in love with her husband as ever and they welcomed their second child just recently.

Unfortunately for paul and jane thier relationship had come to an end, but she and cyn kept in touch.

With all these amazing things cyns latest exhibition was showing. Tonight.

As the london art gallery filled up with people cyn looked around. She had finally achieved success in her art.

Going around she spoke to all the familiar faces, friends, family and even some reporters. Cyn had never been this used to speaking to the press, she usually stayed out of the public eye. Now she didn't have to.

"Well yes painting has always been my passion cyn answered one of the reporters talking to her, and i always felt this is what I wanted to do and... Oh my god tom she suddenly said seeing tom and emily walk in.

"Excuse me won't you, she said to the reporter.

"Well look who it is, tom said, famous artist Cynthia Powell."

"Tom," cyn said smiling giving him a big hug.
"And emily my gosh you look incredible, considering you just had another baby." cyn said giving her a hug.

"Oh dont be fooled, this is hours of no sleep, and constantly trying to quiet down a crying baby." She said laughing.

"Well i think you look great" cyn said.

"Im so glad you two could make it, especially coming all the way to london." Cyn said.

"We wouldn't have missed this" tom said.

"I'll go get you a drink honey" emily said going to the bar.

"So i guess all that meditation helped, tom said sarcastically.

Cyn just laughed, "it certainly has, and especially your friendship, seriously tom, I couldn't have done all this without you."

"Your giving me to much credit," he said smiling.

"Well i should be, you helped me find myself, I'm a different person now." Cyn said.

"Well I knew you could do it" tom said. "I told you, you were stronger than you think."

Cyn smiled at him giving him another hug as emily came back handing him his drink.

As the exhibition finished cyn, accompanied by julian were the only ones left.

Julian began playing running around the exhibition, he had so much energy being a young boy.

"Julian luv stop running around give mommy a hand with these flowers riya sent me." Cyn said.

Julian just kept running around playing.

As cyn waited for julian to help her she suddenly saw john enter.

"Oh hello" cyn said, "did you leave something?"

"No no, john said just wanted to say goodbye, we left so fast i hardly had the chance to say goodbye to you and julian." John said.

"Oh don't worry your presence enough is good." She said smiling.

"I'm really proud of you cyn, your an artist. You deserve this." Cyn said.

She smiled. "Thank you, and congrats to you and yoko, a couple albums, and more exhibitions you two keep busy."

"Ya john said, its everything me and yoko ever wanted." He said.

"Well im glad" cyn said.

"So when are you two having kids then" she said laughing.

"Kids, jesus cyn, we've got to much on our plate for a bloody kid, and besides, we have kyoko and julian, thats enough kids for now" he said.

"Oh well im sure you at least want one more," cyn said smiling.

"Maybe, but I love that julian and i are getting closer every day, He is amazing" john said looking at julian.

"He is," cyn said looking at him.

"Can you believe we made that" he said chuckling.

Cyn just smiled.
