Blossoming roses of love





Continued....

Annie watched silently Emma talking excitedly to the Event co-ordinator checking the details on the tickets.

She read out the ticket number, the unique identification code on the tickets, Annie's full name and address.

Her cellphone's loudspeaker was on so Annie could hear the co-ordinator confirming the authenticity of the tickets.

When he asked about the guest details Annie nodded and Emma proudly announced her name and other details.

Annie was astonished when the coordinator mentioned that being privileged guests they will get a chance to meet the artists and other dignitaries during the post-show get-together and assured that their tickets are confirmed for the VIP zone.

She could see Emma also now confused like her as she disconnected the call.

Both of them sat dazed there trying to get their thoughts together.
It was Annie who broke the silence.

"So what should we do now?"

"It is genuine, this is not joke" Emma sighed.

"Ok...let's talk about this later,now back to work".

Annie jumped to her feet and both of them walked fast to their shop.

They struggled to keep their poise the whole noon at work. The events on that day were very strange and their minds raced fast around the mystery. Both were very much eager to finish work and get back to their apartments so that they could discuss in detail about the future plans.

Both Annie and Emma stayed in one of the modest looking building in the city facing sea.

The view outside the window was magnificent and the cool breeze a boon during summer. On the other side was a beautiful park, the tulips and orchids were simply wonderful! From their place of stay it was hardly twenty minutes walk to the mall where they worked. There were good, wide, well connected roads around the mall so the traffic never caused problem in that newly developed area of the city.

When the bell rang indicating the end of the day's work Emma and Annie hurriedly got out of the shop and after buying some grocery items rushed back home.

Both were eager to chart out a plan of action about the ballet show.

They felt a wave of excitement engulf them as they took shower before before meeting in Annie's room for their supper and discussion.
