Chapter 11

Going back towards my box of treasure I would say, I began to take out the Sketches one by one, the more sketches I brought out the more I get amazed by mom otherworldly skills, though she thought me how to sketch beautiful designs we never really do have time together, maybe my skills would have been better if only we had a normal life, what if the other people competing can actually draw beautiful sketches like this, would I be able to make it to top ten or I would get disqualified at the first round , several negative thoughts kept running through my head, my mood took a big turn, my mum noticing the downcasting look on my face, she moved closer to me and gave me a reassuring hug...

"My darling you are definitely going to make it to the top the competition there's no need to get scared, when exactly is the competition starting??" She asked..

"Is starting on Saturday on the 17th of this month" I replied

"Well that's enough time but you will have to forfeit your partime jobs.." she said with a serious look on her face

"Mum you know I can't stop my work that's where am getting the money to pay my tuition and am also saving so I can have my own small fashion designing shop when I graduate, mum is part of my plan on making it big I just can't stop just because of a competition that am not even sure of winning.."

"Am not asking you to stop all your jobs you can be doing the one you normally do from 3-6pm then forfeit the rest so I can have enough time to teach better skills and prepare you for the competition my darling.." she said while looking at me with those beautiful coloured sapphire eyes I knew I couldn't resist such eyes..

"But mum am really taking such a big risk I really worked hard to get those job mum.." I said about to tear up..

"Life is all about taking risks my love, everyone who have achieved great things in life took risks, and am sure you will definitely will ace the competition my darling you got me right, I will guide you.." she said with a soothing smile on her face..

"I guess I have to trust you on this one.."

"You have to trust yourself not me, the only thing I can do at most is too teach the best of the best of skills have got, is left for you to utilize it my darling and am sure this will be a walk in the park for you am sure my darling, I trust your amazing skills" she said, I felt reenergized at that moment...

" Yes mum I will definitely ace this competition" I said with lots of confidence o felt like a king at that moment..

"You see that's the spirit right there, now that's my darling daughter, I almost thought you were someone else.." she said and we both laughed out loud..

I felt the energy surge within,then and there I knew I was going to utilize this opportunity so well till it changes my life, she started talking to me on and on about the basics of fashion designing, we were actually having an oral class, if I didn't know she was my mum, I would have it was some well recognized fashion designing teacher, because she was well informed,she teaches like it's encrypted in her blood, everything was just sinking in we lost track of time only for my boss to call me to inquire if I was still interested in the job, damn am definitely going to receive some scolding from my boss today, right after receiving the call, I kissed my mum good and ran as fast as my feet could...
