My Heart Is Aching 1

"I'm trying mum." Tina sniffled, wiping her tears with the back of her hands. "I'm trying my best."

"Your best is not good enough. Try harder." Eunice snapped, feeling more angry at herself than her daughter. "So far, all I've seen is you making more mistakes and a fool of yourself than getting results."

"Mum..." Tina's reddened eyes widened. Here she was expecting to get comfort from her mother. "Don't you feel my pain? My heart is breaking."

"Pff... please don't get me started." Eunice scoffed remembering how she had begged this stubborn daughter of hers when she rejected Blaze's proposal, choosing a career over a perfect gentleman when she could have both.
