The morning sun rays did not enter the room as the curtains are still shut tight. In the big room, opposite the window lay the bed which looked empty, but you could see a bump. The bump raised and fell rhythmically. On a small table placed beside the bed are many fashion magazines of many languages messily arranged. Above the magazines was a digital clock showing 06:24. Beside the big window is a black mannequin torso that had pieces of clothes and pins stuck to it. Under the mannequin stand lays a pair of scissors and pieces of clothes. A little away from it is a half opened suitcase. It looks like the clothes are trying to come out of it.
If one listens carefully, they can hear the sounds coming from outside the room. Soon the digital clock showed 6:30 and the alarm rings. A hand comes out of the bump and tries to get to the clock. After a few seconds of struggle, the hand captures the clock and shuts it off. The hand goes inside the bump again, and the room goes silent.
Tick...
Tick...
Tick...
Suddenly the bumps gets up in a high speed and sit in the bed. The bedsheet falls down. It is a girl. Her long brunette hair falling on her shoulders. Her brown eyes wide open looking around the room. Her lips are open and murmuring something.
"Nnnnwww"
"NO WAYYY"
"Where is this place???" No... I know this place. This is where I slept for first 13 years my life.
It's her room when she was young.
"But, Why am I here?"
She got up from the bed and walked to the mirror beside the mannequin.
"This is me" Just that still a teenager.
" What am I? 13 years old?"
She tries to look for her phone on the bed to check the date. It's a fruit brand phone.
"I'm not 13" I only got a fruit brand when I was 15.
Opening the phone she finds that it is 2015.
Yeah, I'm 15. But why am I, 15 years old and why am I in my house.
The day before, she went to Waynns for a fashion show and fell asleep in her hotel room after the tired day. She was clearly 29 years old. But today she wakes up in her room when she was still young and became a 15-year-old.
She opens the door and slowly walks out. The maid she doesn't really remember is cleaning the corridor. The room next to hers is closed. The maid look up and give her a smile. She smiles back and walked down the stairs. Downstairs is a big hall. The couch in the hall had two people sitting in it.
A middle-aged man holding a newspaper in his left hand and a cup on the right. He is slowly sipping the coffee from the cup. Near him is a teenage boy around 16 years reading a text book from school. Hearing the sound of footsteps from the staircase they both lookup.
"Natasha! You are up?", the teenage boy asked with a smile.
Natasha smiles back. "Good morning, Noel"
Then she looked at the man "Good morning, Dad"
"Good morning" They both replied in almost the same tone.
"Did you sleep well yesterday? After all today is your first day in the new school" the dad said.
"New school???"
"Don’t worry. Our school is a very friendly one. They won't discriminate you just because you are joining in the middle of the semester", Noel, her elder brother reassured her.
What is happening? She is very confused.
"I will go upstairs and freshen up" She said and run back to her room.
Her dad and brother gives her a melancholic look.
In her room she takes her phone and try to call her friend who studies with her in a fashion academy in Waynns.
"Hello"
"Hey Natasha, how are doing?? After going back home you never called me once"
"Sorry, I was a bit busy enrolling in the new school"
"Why are you sorry? It's okay. But don't worry. You can definitely win the next year's junior fashion design icon award. This year was definitely a tough competition. Take a rest and concentrate in your studies for now. Don't always think about the competition"
I didn't win this year's competition. I was the winner of 2015 junior fashion design icon.
"No, I'm not thinking about it. The winner..."
"Why are you talking about the winner again? Her work is fine. For a 15-year-old girl she is definitely on par with you. But failures are inevitable in our life. Take this as a motivation and do an even better job in your next competition."
"Sure, I will. Then I will call you when I'm free later"
Natasha hangs up the phone and searches the competition in the browser.
[National junior fashion design icon award 2015 Winner
Mila
A 15-year-old girl wins this year's National junior fashion design icon...
Young girls continuously taking away the junior awards for consecutive years. Last year's winner is in 2nd place...]
[Winning design this year:::::::::::]
The moment Natasha saw the Winning design the phone in her hands falls down. She takes the phone back again with trembling hands.
"This is my design" More like my future design.
There is no way she will forget her own design. This design got the first place on the International competition in 2018. That's how she became well known globally. But this girl…
How did she get my design which I haven't even created yet?
How did she get my design which I haven't even created yet?
Natasha was sweating as her heart started beating. With a headache she crouched down and held her head with both hands. Memories came pouring down her brain.
She remembered. Everything that happened until the day before. That happened in 2015. She could connect everything to the happenings till 2029.
Natasha belongs to a pretty well off family. Her father has a number of apparel and clothing factories in the countries. They produce the cloths for some well known brands. Natasha grew up with clothes. That's how she got really interested in designing. So right after she completed her 8th grade she wanted to be entered in to a big fashion academy in Waynns. Waynns Fashion academy has students of varying ages starting from 13 to 30.
The students up to 15 years are encouraged to join in National level junior competition and students above 15 years are allowed to participate in International level junior competitions until they are 18. The best part is, till now only the students of the Fashion academy had ever been the winner. Natasha joined the academy after rigorous exams and three rounds of interviews. She joined the 2014 national level junior competition and won the award and furthermore, she is considered as one the most talented student in the academy.
Regardless, she was still a kid. To feel connected to her country and not to forget her mother tongue she always reads novel from her own language. That is how she came across the novel called "You are my only cure".
It is a story about a girl named "Mila" who comes from a really poor family. Her single mother died when she was 5 years old and from then she lived with her grandmother who took care of her with the money her mother left for her. She is studious kid who got good marks in her 1st year high school and entered "Wisdom Elite high school" with a scholarship.
Wisdom Elite High school is known for its student enrollment in higher education institutions. Most students who study there are from well off families. Some students can get into the last 2 years through scholarship (3 years of high school). In general, since it has some really rich kids bullying is not any less.
Mila, is not particularly good-looking, but her status as a scholarship student is already very eye-catching. When she entered the school first day she got into the male leads sonar by slapping the male leads twin brother who teased her for her torn canvas shoes. Later her bold personality really attracted many guys including the male lead, second Lead and the third lead who was the male lead's twin brother. She became the school beauty who was chased by the rich guys of the school.
Of course, if there is a Cinderella, there would definitely be a step sister that is the Villainess. The Villainess is the Second lead's sister who in love with the male lead. She bullied the female lead in various ways and every time one of the three leads came to her rescue. The Villainess even studies hard to become a doctor just so that she can help the male lead with his profession of medicine. Even the male leads family wanted him to get married to the Villainess. But by then the protagonists are deeply in love.
Later the male lead got into an accident, and wanted a liver transplant. That's when the female lead gave her liver and saved the male lead. Finally, male leads family also accepted the female lead and they got married. Whereas the Villainess died later in a car accident.
That's how the story went. Natasha was not a big fan of this novel. But she definitely remembered it. Everything changed after the national level junior fashion design competition of 2015 in which she won according to her 29-year-old memory. But according to her 15-year-old memory she came second in the 2015 competition. And the one who won is Mila. The female lead.
It might be a coincidence. But, her 29-year-old memory does remember news about the marriage of one of the Son of the biggest hospital of Ruland getting married to his Cinderella girlfriend named Mila. She also remembers the death of a woman who is a daughter of the biggest real estate tycoon in a car accident. After all she also belongs to the same rich society of the country.
Regardless of all, she can't be wrong in identifying her own design that the women submitted. She used that in her 2019 International competition. That means the female lead is reborn. She is trying to change things.
"So I am really in the novel??? I became a name less character in the novel I read."
Natasha came back home this year cause, when she lost the competition this year, the academy started giving her pressure indirectly. After all, till now only the students of the academy ever won the competition.
Natasha was already sad. So with the pressure from her peers and mentors she become really depressed. When her parents found out about it, they brought her back to Ruland, and asked her to just focus on studying for now.
It's been two weeks since she is back home and she has slowly recovered. She even tried designing a few times.
"Okay!!! Today I will be going to school"
Even though life took a major turn on this day different from her previous memory, she was actually excited. She wanted to see what the female lead is trying to do. She wanted to pay back the female lead for stealing her design. Not only that, but she wanted to see if she is going to take any more of her designs.
But, one of the major reason she was excited about going to school is because she is going to meet the Blind date she was supposed to meet in the future. 29 years of being single really makes you desperate. hah!
