CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE: TILDEN ART AND DESIGN COMPANY
Two days later…
Rhea Tilden sighed as she held the papers with a smiling face. Though tired, she had what she wanted. With all processes complete, she had won it all.
"Congratulations Mrs. Tilden." Handing her the last paper, Derek said.
"With your help Derek." She smiled as they shook hands.
After driving home, she stood in the lonely living room and stretched.
"Whoa! The children must know this." after taking a shower, she got into her car and drove to the Finlay home.
It wasn't a short drive but because she was going for her kids, she felt good. After parking, she walked in and found the couple seated alone in the living room but she could hear background noises. She greeted them and was directed to the background where they were.
"Mommy is here!" Rhea Azaan called.
The six were with Hutson, Lina and Adriel.
"Mommy!" they ran to her. After hugging her, she asked them back home. They left together but were surprised when she didn't drive home directly but drove to a certain big building just close to her house.
"Mom… where are we? Why are we here?" Henry asked.
"Mommy has a surprise for you. Can anyone guess?"
Even Hutson and Lina couldn't guess.
When they got out of the car, Camera's flashed.
"What's happening?" Hutson managed to aske one of the reporters.
"The launching of the Tilden Art and Design company." He told him.
"Huh!"
When the door opened Hutson recognized the workers here as the former workers at State Azaan company.
"Mommy!" reading the name of the company, Carly exclaimed.
"Madam, can you explain why you came up with the art and design company?" the reporters asked.
"Actually it's because of my kids. They're good at that and I feel good when I do support them in what they do."
"Can you explain why you named it after Kiaan Tilden?"
"Yes. Kiaan Tilden is the man of our family. Besides, we all miss him and want to make big surprises to him when he is back."
It was time to have the kids walk around their won company and help their mother in planning and arrangement of the company.
Form today onwards, they'll be working here and work from when they have incomplete works.
When the news about the new design company went viral, everyone flogged in to buy what the goddess has to offer. Besides, the citizens already loved her. When she was still a goddess at State Azaan company.
Evening…
At Crystal Estate…
Rhea Tilden, the two workers and the children arrived after walking around the company and doing the planning. Everything was staged according to the children's suggestions. Of course, she did what she did for the children and she would do what the children decide.
"Now, get changed. Let's deliver the good news to daddy." Rhea said helping the kids get off their shoes and go to the shower.
After the evening meal, Rhea Azaan and the six drove to hospital to be with Kiaan Tilden.
"You're really one very amazing woman." Dr. Alvin said as they were walking to the company. The children already ran in.
"I do what I do for the sake of the children and Kiaan." She said smiling.
"If he wakes up, many things would have changed." Dr. Alvin said.
"Yeah. That'll be too good." Rhea said.
In the ward…
"Daddy you can't believe it!"
"Daddy we have a company…"
Daddy this… daddy that…
They made reports and told their dad everything that happened that day. When Rhea walked in and smiled as she looked at the kids. They were extremely happy as they reported to their dad what had happened that day.
When she looked through the glass bed, something had changed.
Earlier, Kiaan's face was calm since the day he was admitted here. He looked like a sleeping god with no expression on his face. But today, a smile was imprinted on his face.
Probably, he's happy about what the kids told him.
Or maybe, he's happy because he's getting back to us.
Or, he's happy because his family is safe.
Whatever, she knew he must be hearing what they said. He must be coming back. He must be happy now.
"Doctor… are you sure nothing has changed? He is smiling." Rhea Azaan said happily and it caught the children's attention. They all looked closer and exclaimed.
"His health is improving. He is one in a million that can survive this." Dr. Alvin said.
Work started at Tilden company the next day with the kids taking the lead. In one day, many orders were already flowing in. those preparing for their weddings came to make orders of the wedding dresses and suits, the rings which were well designed and even hair accessories.
Generally, the six didn't go for higher learning but their skills surprised everyone. This caught the attention of everyone in Grematoria and people came to see the amazing work.
Rhea provided all the materials needed by the kids.
Under the help of other workers who were employed there, they didn't have a hard time.
Aside from that, the children took time to help her learn easy designs and soon she also had an upper hand in taking orders and making simple designs.
She could make simple dresses, simple rings and necklaces.
The family of six children and their mother were now the center of attraction.
The Tilden company became well known not only in Grematoria but outside.
People admired the happy family who went to the hospital each evening to be with Kiaan Tilden, the man of the family.
Rhea couldn't explain how she rose from fame everywhere she went.
Everyone referred to her as the goddess of luck…
SIX MONTHS LATER…
"Everyone gets ready. Why are you all slow today?" Rhea called out to the kids.
"Mommy, we're almost done." Carly replied.
Soon, they both walked out of the house to the car outside.
Yesterday, Dr. Alvin had told them that Kiaan Tilden might be up be up any day from then. They had requested to be in hospital and wait for him but the doctor said he needed more attention. He told them to check earlier that day. So, Hutson and Lina were to report to Tilden company and help run the company that day. No one would explain how happy the family was.
"Did you take everything?" Rhea asked.
"Huh! Rex? Where is the package?" Carly asked.
"Forgive my small memory. I forgot!" slapping himself lightly, Rex replied.
