Lucia scouted the entire city, went to all florist shop she could think of but to no avail. She could not find the right flower for her mother.
There were shops with white lilies but she none of them could appeal to her like the one she saw in the first slower shop. After searching for more than an hour she finally gave up.
"Darn it…" She cursed silently because what else could she do except that.
Since there was nothing she could do about that she wondered if she might as well prepare something new as a gift.
"Its just flower...I can always give them to her the next year." A smile flashed on her darkened face as she cheered herself up.
She was not going to feel sad and torture herself on this beautiful and auspicious day.
