Our company got a new opportunity to tie up with Entertainment industry. I didn't know anything about that. John said it was good thing to do. It was more profitable business also. We were going to work with companies who organize Award functions for Music, Dance and all the entertainment field. I had a meet with the Organization and I had to fly to London. I didn't want to go. Because Aileen would not even eat if I was not the one who was feeding. Mary could atleast manage her. But we had to go and attend that meeting. So I decided to ask Mary to take care of both Angel and Aileen and go to London.
Mary agreed to take care of Aileen. She loved Aileen. No Everyone loved Aileen. But she would irritated everyone like anything. Today evening at 9 I had flight to London. I packed everything and everything was ready for us to leave from here. John would come around 7 clock in the evening to pick me up. Tomorrow evening we have a Award function to attend. They asked me to deliver one award for someone. I didn't check the details much. Anyways I had to go to London for that meet. So I thought I would attend that event as well.
John came at 7 and we left for Airport. We reached Airport at 8.30 and board the flight. Next day morning 7 we reached the airport and 8 o clock we reached the hotel. I was damn tired and I slept for the entire day till 5 in the evening. John woke me up. I got up and got ready and left for the event.
The event hall was very big and it could accommodate around 1500 people. John and I sat somewhere in the corner and taking about some important things. The ceremony started at 7 in the evening. We sat on our respective seats and watching the program. I was literally bored. I wanted to go. But I had to stay back to give that fucking award. The event was filled with dances and songs in-between they gave awards for best individual who were great in there field. I was so bored man. I thought to act like I fainted and go. But I didn't know whether it would work or not. When I was thinking about this, Someone called me. I looked at the stage and the host called me telling that that was my turn to distribute the award. I went up to the stage. One lady came and gave me the name card and award statue. I took both from the tray which she was holding. I tilted my in right side and took the name card from the envelope. I was stunned to see that name. I frowned at the card and turned to the host. He asked me to announce the name.
I turned to look at the audience. I thought I was over reacting. I took deep breath and opened the card to announce the name.
"Best Fashion Designer of the Year - Mrs. Jennifer Eric." I announced and looked at the audience to see whose that. Someone stood up from the fifth row of audience. My breath was stuck in my throat. I was seeing that face after so many years. She started walking from the fifth row. She took one step at a time. I was struggling to control my breath. I felt like I was about to fall. I controlled myself and stood there. She came near to stage and claimed on the stage. She wore black gown. It fitted her perfectly. She became more beautiful than before. She was put on some weight. But She was perfect. Tears started to form in my eyes. I couldn't control it today. I didn't want to control it today. The entire time my eyes was glued on her face. There was not even a slight change in her expression. She gave her best smile from the time she stood up from her chair till reach the stage. Now also she was smiling while there was an emotional war in-between my brain and heart.
