[COMPLETED][UNEDITED]
The moment Isabella laid her eyes on Alex while walking down the aisle she whispered, "Zachary!"
But Zachary left her ten years ago without any notice. She carried his child for nine months and raised him with good values.
Alex...
"You are coming...Right?" She asked me hoping a yes.
"Umm..May be or may be not." I looked down at my hand looking at the brochure. I hoped Isaa to get well soon.
"Well, you have to come. That's my order." She winked.
"It's for couples only." I said.
"So what? Ask any girl out. I bet nobody will say no to you." She laughed.
I joined the academy five years ago and Nancy became a very good friend of mine. She was so much dedicated to her work and I appreciated that.
I went home in the evening. I saw Isa and her aunt sitting in their garden. Her aunt was oiling her hair. Isa looked so cute in her big glasses. I wanted to go and talk to her but her aunt didn't leave her alone.
I walked my way to home. My heart felt heavy, heavier than my body. I was dying to hear her sweet voice. She was like an angel. She was so simple and I fell long ago for that simplicity.
I wanted her to be with me all the time.
"When will I ask you Isa?"
"What?"
"Can you & I move to we?" I said drowning in my own thought.
"You stupid lovesick teenager get back to reality." My mom laughed and shook my shoulder.
I looked at her.
Shit !
When did I reach home? Damn! I was so engrossed in my thoughts that I thought I was talking to Isa. How silly I am.
"Big baby come on go and take bath and then meet me for dinner." She handed me towel and I went for the shower.
As I came to the dining. The mouthwatering aroma of noodles entered my nostrils. I ran into the kitchen to my mom.
"Smells so good. Can't wait to eat it." I looked at the pan on the gas stove. She was stirring the noodles and I grabbed a big bowl and fork like a young boy.
"You and you undying love for noodles." My mom smiled.
"I'm so in love with it."
"Zach I heard about the ball night tomorrow."
"Yeah. So did I." She poured the noodles in my bowl.
"Are you going?" She asked.
"Mom...I don't know." I shrugged.
"You are so dumb." She looked sad but quickly covered it with her smile.
"Is that so?" I asked.
"Of Course. See, its already so long. You have been seeing her then also you don't have guts to ask her out. You have a chance now and who knows whether somthing like this will happen again or not. And it really hurts if someone else takes your love away." She finished abruptly.
I hugged her. I know she was thinking about dad. She was missing him and so was I. She constructed herself.
"I don't want my big baby to loose his love so go and get her." She kissed my forehead. I held her hand tightly.
"Your big baby is always here for you mom." I whispered in her ear.
She smiled "Then don't overthink. Tell her you are her Z."
I nodded and took the bowl in my hand.
"Wanna try? Take this one." I said feeding her. She is the world's best mom. Dad was lucky indeed but my mom wasn't as lucky as him. Maybe she is the luckiest as I was her son.
"Big baby. So many woman came to my boutique today to buy dresses for the ball." She said pouring the water in a glass.
"So your boutique is going cool."
"Supercool." She winked.
"And I kept one of my best works for her." She said focusing on her plate.
"Her?" I asked.
"Isabella" She said shyly.
"Oh mom! You are so sweet. And you look too cute playing cupid." She blushed.
After the dinner I helped her clean up the plates and she took me to her designing room. The room where I was not allowed. She used to work on the dresses at home also.

I looked at the dress. It was really pretty. My jaw dropped to the floor.
"Ain't it beautiful?" She asked.
I hugged her.
"This is breathtakingly beautiful peice of work mom. One of your best work." I kissed her cheek.
"Well then gift it to her for tomorrow night." She said blushing.
"Oh mom, why you have to be so cute all the time?" I laughed.
I was really excited to see Isaa wear mom's best work. I knew she would look like a fairy sent from above to enlighten my life. I smiled and turned to thank mom but she was gone.
I see. It was her medicine time.
I went to her room and checked whether she took her asthema pills or not. But she took it.
She was sleeping peacefully. There was a smile on her lips like she was dreaming of dad.
