THE EXHIBITION
Mia Roosevelt
Mr driver can you turn off the radio please?
Lois Abbott
Turning off the radio, wouldn't make him go away
Mia Roosevelt
And listening to his news would?
Lois Abbott
No, look......
Mia Roosevelt
No, Lois i told you multiple times that i don't want to talk about him
Lois Abbott
Mia, not addressing the issue doesn't mean it's not there....
Mia Roosevelt
It means to me...
Lois Abbott
you need to talk about your feelings at some point to someone.....
Mia Roosevelt
..............
Lois Abbott
You haven't said a single word about what happened ever since you got discharged from the hospital
Mia Roosevelt
I took the therapy...
Lois Abbott
Yeah but that was for your work...to focus on your career
Lois Abbott
You denied talking about your feelings towards your ex
Mia Roosevelt
.............
Lois Abbott
I know you are hurting....
Mia Roosevelt
And by talking about him, you are hurting me more....
Mia Roosevelt
Lois you know it's a big night for me....can we just focus on that?
Lois Abbott
Yeah, absolutely....and I'm sorry I didn't mean to spoil your mood ...
Lois Abbott
I'm just worried about you Mia.....
Mia Roosevelt
I know...and I'm sorry too for snapping at you .....
It's been three years since Mia has survived that horrible accident. One dreadful day and her life changed drastically.
On that unfortunate day she lost her lover, her baby and right her leg went limb. The person who caused the accident has never been found, but someone did pay her hospital bill anonymously.
Do these two facts have anything in common? Maybe but both Mia, and Lois have done their best to find out and they found nothing.
No matter what she says to her best friend but deep down, sometimes she thinks about him too. She thinks about his betrayal, she thinks about her baby and her lost happiness.
Why is he back anyway? Why now?. Aaron, Mia's boyfriend... sorry Ex-boyfriend has left the city right after his engagement. He got married after a year of their engagement, and now he's happy. At least that's what the tabloid says.
She sighed at her feelings and looked outside the window. Is she stupid to hold on the feelings of happily ever after? Why is it her that never deserves love.
Her mother left her at the doorstep of the orphanage, It took 8 years for her aunt to find her and took her into her custody and then when she finally got to fall in love, her boyfriend cheated on her.
Luckily her aunt is the best person in the world, she not only took her in, but she also adopted Lois because Mia didn't wish to be apart from her.
Lois Abbott
We are here.....
Lois Abbott
Are you Ready?
Mia Roosevelt
Born ready....
Lois Abbott
I'm with you at every step Mia, don't ever forget that.....and Philip is going to be inside too.
Mia Roosevelt
Has he already reached?
Mia picked her cane and clutched it hard, she still felt uneasy about not being able to walk. That night left her weak on the right knee, not to mention she can never run or lift heavy weight.
Lois Abbott
You know, although this cane is beautiful, i still hate it.
Mia Roosevelt
(chuckled)
You know what it means to me.....
Lois Abbott
Yeah, I'm glad you took that therapy and went to the designing again.
Mia Roosevelt
Let's go.....
This cane is the first design she has created after a year of physiotherapy and psychiatrists session, but she's happy. Carving design in the woods brings happiness to her. Luckily her mentor accepted her even after a year gap.
Today's exhibition is the last exhibition of his design, he has decided to retire and enjoy the rest of his life, which seems like a nice plan to Mia.
Multiple flashes flashed on Mia and Lois faces as they entered at the party hall. Mr Lance, her mentor is a big celebrity and a businessman. He took wood crafting to a different level. Mia felt proud to be his student and his right hand.
Both of them moved ahead and entered the hall, it was huge and articles were on display, people were gathered around and discussing it. The hall wasn't very crowded but not empty either, the pleasant music was running in the background.
Lois Abbott
How many articles are yours in this exhibition?
Mia Roosevelt
Well I got lucky...Mr Lance liked my every piece
Lois Abbott
I'm so proud of you.....
Philip Solano
Hello ladies......
Both of them turned around and saw Philip smiling at them. Mia saw Philip scanning Lois up and down. Learning every detail of her, like he's afraid he would forget it if he didn't learn.
Mia shook her head at her oblivious best friend, and stupid junior. It's obvious that Philip has a huge crush on Lois and it's visible for everyone but Lois.
Or even if she knows, she doesn't acknowledge it. Lois never wanted a family of her own and she never wanted to fall in love. She decided it right after she met her birth parents, something she never talks about
Lois Abbott
Hey Philip...how are you doing?
Philip Solano
I'm. Doing great Lois....you... you look beautiful.
Lois Abbott
Thank you ...you aren't bad yourself.
Mia Roosevelt
How many are yours?
Mia Roosevelt
Five?...i thought Lance agreed for seven.
Philip Solano
Well he cancelled it last moment, he said they will be for the next one.
Mia Roosevelt
Oh, then that's okay...
Philip Solano
Yeah ...btw congratulations your three articles have already been sold.
Lois Abbott
Oh my god..... Mia.... congratulations that's good.
Mia Roosevelt
Wow.....i never thought it would happen.
Philip Solano
Why not...you are the Ace after Lance...no wonder he keeps you next to him all the time.
Lois Abbott
That's my girl.
Mia Roosevelt
Who bought it?
Philip Solano
Don't know ...you know they don't tell...
Mia Roosevelt
(nodded)
But at least I can know which article, right?
Philip Solano
Yeah. The waterfall, the Egyptian goddess and the mountain has already been sold
Philip Solano
And the ecstasy has been put on bidding.
Mia Roosevelt
You are kidding right.?
Philip Solano
Nope, apparently four people were dying to buy it and one of them was anonymous.
Lois Abbott
What the hell is it with you and anonymous....do you have a Romeo that I don't know about.
Mia Roosevelt
You know everything about me
Philip Solano
Well one of the people who bid is your ex Romeo.
Philip Solano
I'm afraid he is ....you know every aristocrat is here, Mr Lance is not just some random craftsman.
Mia Roosevelt
............
Lois Abbott
Do you want to leave?
Philip Solano
Hey i didn't mean to cause trouble or something.
Lois Abbott
Why didn't you told us before?
Philip Solano
Well i just found out myself..... Mia I'm so sorry...
Mia Roosevelt
It's okay..... I'm okay
Lois Abbott
We can go...you know
Mia Roosevelt
The f*ck we will....i haven't done anything wrong...this is my night. I want to see the bidding.
Mia Roosevelt
I worked hard for all of this ....and I'm not going back.
Philip Solano
Yeah, this is your night Mia enjoy it.....
Lois Abbott
That's my girl....
Philip Solano
Moreover, there has been a talk among the shareholders and other board members that you will be the CEO of the designing department.
Philip Solano
yeah, but some people are against it...since you know you don't have shares to be on the board of directors.
Mia Roosevelt
I don't want to be CEO....as long as I get to sell my articles and my head isn't a jacka** I'm good to go.
Lois Abbott
How do you know every gossip?
Philip Solano
Hey I'm just looking out for our girl.....
Three of them laughed and Philip called the server for the champagne, it's indeed a celebration for Mia, she not only sold her three articles but one of them went for bidding.
They clinked their glass and took a sip, Mia has never felt so proud of herself, finally everything in her life is setting down. She was lost in her peace so much that she forgot to see the hurricane that was coming for her
