Redeeming The Golden Ticket To Life - Chapter 40: Bonus Chapter

[POV Xiao Wei]

‘Sitting in my mother’s studio is much more interesting than accompanying my father to his office. In future, I will stay with my mother.’

Today evening is her Runway. I wish it goes without any hitch.

‘The designs that she made is much more interesting than what Donna aunty makes.’

As I look around the studio, I seem to can’t find, the flowers that I stitched on a golden sheer fabric. I remember leaving them in the studio.

‘Where could it be?’

I look around, but I still couldn’t find it.

‘Huh… Let it be.’

I look around the studio to find a black velvet fabric. While I was looking around in YouTube, I found an amazing piece of embroidery tutorial. ‘I will make it for my mother. I can’t depend on my father to give any appropriate gifts to Mamma.’

I moved towards the back of the studio, there on the shelves were various, dark coloured fabrics kept on them.

They were rolled and kept as scrolls.

I reached my hands out and, take out the black velvet fabric roll. I cut the required amount from the scroll and place it back in the shelf.

Next, I looked for golden threads for embroidery.

I move towards the drawer beside the shelves. They all hold better quality threads.

I opened the drawer and search for the requisite threads for my embroidery.

I need

DMC Metallic Embroidery Thread OR (100% polyester; made in Belgium)

RAINBOWGALLERY NORDIC GOLD ND2 (52% polyester, 48% nylon; made in England)

COSMO nishikiito no.20 (57% polyester, 43% nylon; made in Japan)

Maison Sajou N°40 METAL 102 (100% polyester; made in France)

YEDAM YM’GOLD (100% polyester; made in Korea)

Mamma is very specific in her choice of threads for any design.

Following her, I learned a lot.

Rest of my afternoon is spent on the design.

‘I really want to give Mamma something nice to mark her first successful runway.’

‘I have no hopes from my papa.’

‘It has to be me who needs to keep Mamma attached to our family.’

I look at my watch it is time, they would leave in an hour for the event venue.

So I moved towards the drawing-room of the main Villa.

There I sit down to finish my homework.

‘As given to me by my papa.’

Finally, my father entered the hall to receive Mamma.

I look towards him. He is wearing a sapphire colour suit with gold piping.

One look and I know, ‘it is designed by Mamma’.

He received a suit designed by Mamma for this event while he asked me to stay put.

He robbed me of my dress designed by Mamma.

‘Mean Father, how could you do this to your own son?’

I sulk in a corner as I see him scamming me of my mother’s designed outfit.

‘I will make him pay for it, later.’

I avoid talking to him. His outfit looks so cool.

‘Even I want an outfit designed by Mamma.’

After some time, Mamma walked down the stairs.

She is looking beautiful like a fairy in her dress. As I observed her dress, I finally find my stitched embroidery.

Mamma added them to her design.

‘I am so happy.’

It seems Mamma knew about my work, so when she liked it she added them to her final design before putting together the outfit.

I really wanted to hug my mother but my mean father snatched her away.

Then my world twisted as Mamma proposed to Papa for engagement.

My face flushed as I felt that birds were twittering in the garden. There were fireworks in my heart. I felt so happy.

I knew it, he is useless in front of Mamma.

‘See, even Mamma had to propose him for marriage and prepared the rings for it too.’

While he just stood there stunned.

‘Useless. Useless.’

‘It must be because of me that Mamma proposed to papa. She couldn’t bear to see me tortured under my father’s regime.’

They exchanged rings and say ‘I Do’.

‘I want to say ‘I Do’ too.’

Finally, Mamma beckons me.

I rushed towards Mamma.

She asked me if I knew that she loves me the most.

‘I know she does.’

I quickly reply, “Yes, Mamma. I Do.”

‘Yeah, I said my ‘I Do’ to Mamma.’

From now on she would stay by my side.

While my father is hopeless, I know my Mamma would always be there for me.
