She picked up a book from the shelf and leaned against the counter while reading about plants then occasionally glance out the window for customers. She recognized his blazer and stylish shoes and could not contain her excitement of the same customer arriving again.
"Welcome back mister."
He marched into the buildings impatiently and desperately demanded another order of flowers for his lovely wife. All his clothes were trenched from the rain and left a trail of puddles on the floor. He curse at her and threw cash in her face.
What's with his deal today? What's going on with him?
She kneeled and picked up the money then stack it on the counter neatly. She did not say anything and walked to the back to complete his order.
"Here you go, mister."
He snatched the bouquet out of her hands and stormed out, slamming the door behind him.
I hope everything is already with him and his wife
She picked up the mop and cleaned the wet puddle on the floor and heard raindrops hitting the roof hard.
" It looks like I will be closing early today." She flipped the sign to closed and turned off the light in that room.
She waters the plants in the pot and props up a light for them to require enough energy to grow, bloom and produce more seeds.
In another part of the building was her small bedroom with a multi-hued pained pink wall, the pink brushstroke pattern provides the perfect backdrop for the bedroom that overflowing with playful prints.
She walked out the shower with a white towel and let out a huge sigh as she fell backward in her bed. What a day? I wonder if Mister is, okay? What could be bothering him?
Her phone lit up on the bed and was ringing
Incoming call MOM
She answered the phone and before she could say anything her mother shouted through the phone.
"KANG CHOON HEE, COME BACK HOME! A WOMAN LIVING ALONE IS DANGEROUS."
Blah blah blah
She mimics with her hands and then sighs." Mother, I am doing fine. I even install a security system that will alarm authorities of any suspicious behavior.
"KANG CHOON HEE, YOU ARE A SMART YOUNG ADULT BUT WHY A FLORIST? YOU CAN BE A DOCTOR, LAWYER, PRODUCT MANAGER OR EVEN A MODEL BUT YET YOU CHOOSE TO MOVE TO RHE CITY ALL BY YOURSELF AND BECOME A FLORIST. TELL ME HOW'S THAT GOING FOR YOU?"
" Well, these things don't happen overnight but I finally have my first customer." She said and wanted to share the news badly with her family she could not hide the excitement in her voice.
" Oh wow, one customer I can't imagine how you would react if you had two." Her mother says sarcastically.
It's so impossible to please parents
"Mother, I love you but I'm very tired tonight. Send father my regards."
" KANG CHOON HEE PLEASE CAME TO YOUR SENSES AND COME HOME."
Call ended.
"Why did she have to say that?" She stared at the ceiling and felt discouraged by her mother's words.
Moving has been her dream as a teenager but her parents had high expectations for her, so she decided to go to medical school. However, unexpected events happened that drove her into a different course.
Starting a new life, experiencing a different scenery, and creating a business in hope that it will flourish into something amazon.
"I know it will be difficult and slow in the beginning—I'm just taking one step at a time and hope it'll accomplish my goal in the future.
