Blossoming roses of love



Continued....

Her heart missed a beat when she locked-in her eyes on the paper.
She felt curious at the same time excited as well. It was a beautifully printed pamphlet with exquisite pictures of the world famous ballet that announced just a single show in the city before embarking upon a North American tour. The tickets were priced in the ranges only super-rich and the elite class could afford to purchase and the whole lot sold out months in advance of the show.
The technical preparations were going on for months now because of the complexity and size of the event involving a large number of artists and technicians.

She became surprised looking at the two upper class tickets neatly clipped on the pamphlet and began wondering who has arranged this delivery without her knowledge.

Being very much interested in ballet dance shows she actually wanted to watch this unique event but the heavy cost of the tickets suppressed her desire. She always cherished the memories of watching a not so famous ballet with Daniel, her ex-boyfriend, when
they visited Europe during one of their holidays some years ago.
It was a beautiful show indeed ! A great love story was unveiled in front of them by those beautiful girls and handsome men on stage, made magnificent by glittering attire, sparkling lights and melodious music. The well chisselled bodied handsome men dancing, the wave of emotions each one of them depicted, all these thrilled her.

Those were some of the happiest moments in her life.
In spite of the busy work schedule she and Emma attend ballet classes given by Romanian lady regularly and there were talks about a small time ballet performance by their group if they get sufficient number of dancers but very few could stick on with the rigorous workouts and people used to come and go, only she and Emma stayed long just because of their interest and passion.

"Wow....what I see here....My God....Jackpot it is....my dear Annie....this is jackpot". Emma snatched the tickets from her hand and began dancing some steps which turned some passers-by turn their heads. Annie didn't see Emma approaching because she was too much engrossed in the event because of the sudden excitement.

"Great..why didn't you tell me before....yeah...you were keeping it as a surprise isn't it..you naughty !...How thoughtful of you, you bought two tickets, spent a lot....hmmm...Lucky..."
She hugged Annie.

Annie couldn't see an opening to explain the mysteries to her,so she waited till her tantrums subsided. So when Emma came back to her senses she slowly led her to a nearby chair and explained she didn't know how she was delivered the two expensive tickets.

They began working out what should be the next step and checked thoroughly the envelope. It seemed everything is in order and it was addressed to her, no doubt ! They could see her name printed on one of the tickets probably being the event a high profile one. So sure it was meant for her only. The other ticket was named for a guest.

Finally they decided to inquire with the Event Co-ordination Office contact member they found on the pamphlet.

Emma hurriedly dialled the number using her cellphone.
