“Mommy! You look beautiful We’re sure

e you’ll do great!

My Tony always flatters me. He’s the best son. I’m too nervous. I only slept three hours last night, ananging my sketches in my portfolio. I also made some scale models, even though they didn’t ask for them. My hands are sweating. It’s a very important day for me and my childen. Although my job is secure, I want and need that bonus I can eam. I don’t know when Juanu will give us money, and the bills are starting to arrive. But that’s also evidence against him in case we go to trial for child support. Maybe he thinks the kids feed on alçor I don’t know, but I’ve had to use my credit card. At this point, I don’t know that man, and I don’t know what to expect from him

I dressed elegantly, but formally, in black high waisted pants and a long–sleeved white blouse with black polka dots. The monochromatic combination highlights my red hair which I’ve left loose. Block in the mirror and I’m satisfied. When I tum around the look of love in my children’s eyes is priceless.

“Mommy you’re the prettiest in the world”

My little girl walks towards me and throws herself into my arms. My sweet Lily. I know how much she’s suffering right now, but there’s always a smile on her face. I’m a lucky mother.

Yesterday, my babies arrived very late, so I didn’t want to tell them about their father’s visit, but I can’t hide it from them. I don’t like misunderstandings, and I prefer that they are always aware of what’s going on.

“Kids, I didn’t say anything last night, but your father came by Friday night looking for you. I’m telling you because he’ll probably try to contact you I want you to know that I’m never going to deny you that, it’s just that from now on, we have to stipulate a visitation schedule. He can’t be coming to the house whenever he feels like it. The lawyer is going to suggest where the meetings will take place and the conditions. It’s an uncomfortable subject, but we have to deal with it. As soon as they pay me, buy you a shared cell phone so you two can communicate with him. I’m really sorry that you have to go through this.”

My children remain serious, analyzing what I just told them, it’s being difficult for everyone, but these are changes we have to accept. One person from our little family is gone and we have to fill their absence in this case, with a new cell phone.

After a few minutes, they both nod. I hope they get used to it soon, so the pain will subside. I wish I could apply that to myself, but it’s different. They only see him less, but he’ll always be their father, on the other hand, lost my partner, the companion who swore to love me forever. Before I feel affected again, I walk to the table to get my things.

I will not cry today. On this day I decide that only good things will come into my le

“Come on guys, get your backpacks so I can take you to school”

The children go to their rooms for their things. As soon as they return, we hurry out. Everything will be fine today. I sketch a slight smile as I close the door to my house, I’m waiting in the company boardroom for them to finish reviewing my sketches. Mrs. Dorantes invited two of the most renowned designers from her House to evaluate my work. I’m aware that I’m an amateur, but I also know that my designs aren’t that bad. The girls liked them a lot and they know haute couture.

After a long hour and four cups of coffee, they finally finish their deliberation. The three people stand in front of me, so I stand up too.

“Miss, allow me to congratulate you. Your work, despite not having the schooling that we have, and the experience acquired over so many years, I can tell you is very good. Alongside us, you will polish all that talent you were blessed with. Well done! The gentleman speaking is Mauricio Diaz, a very recognized person in the fashion world. He offers his hand to shake mine in greeting

“I have nothing to add to what my colleague said, I can only say welcome” The speaker this time is Flora Jiménez, another renowned local designer. She doesn’t congratulate me with her hand, but takes me by the shoulders and kisses me on each cheek.

“Thank you very much for your words, and to be received in this way is priceless. I will give my best in my work, and I hope to learn a lot.” I make a small curtsy, showing my respect to these giants of the industry. They smile and take the opportunity to say goodbye

My new boss and i are left alone. The lady has a look of satisfaction on her face,

“I knew you wouldn’t disappoint me. As promised, Ill give you a nice welcome bonus! I also want to let you know that you will be working directly with me after your work on the current season. You will be my diamond in the rough. I want you to be recognized as a great talent of my company very soon. One more thing, these designs will become part of the season, only some technical adjustments will be made, but nothing major. Your name will be added to our list of designers. Congratulations, Amelia Model designed by Amelia Fuentes, how does that sound?”

I’m completely dumbfounded. I can’t believe everything she said. It’s like I’m dreaming. When I realize it’s true, I jump up and down and run to give her a hug. I’m happy, very happy. The lady smiles at my childish displays.

“Pinch me, please, ma’am! This seems to be the most beautiful dream of my life!” Two tears escape me. It seems that the saddest news of my life came along with one of the happlest.

“Hahahaha. Im not going to pinch you, you crazy girl. Come on, let’s go so they can give you the check with your bonus. I don’t know if you need it right now, but you earned

If she knew really don’t have any money, she’d be surprised:Maybe i my fairy godmother and knows my needs? I don’t know, but I’ll never forget what she’s doing for

id vibes

I spent that day familiarizing myself with the company. They introduced me to everyone who works there. You can tell it’s a great environment, you can feel the good of the place. After the tour, they showed me my workstation, and I met the designer I was assigned to support in this season’s work. To my surprise, she was a girl only a couple of years older than me, so we hit it off immediately. I’m sure we’ll do a beautiful job together.

I asked for permission this week to adjust my schedule regarding my children’s school hours, but soon I’ll have to ask my mother or father to pick them up. Normally, I was the one in charge, while their father took them, but now, I work too. I’m sure they’ll understand.

When I arrive at the school, the first thing I see is Jugn Luis, waiting at the entrance, leaning against his car, which he parked right in front

I don’t want to talk to him alone, to wall for the kids to come out. Seeing him brings back great nostalgia and a pang of pain. How long until it stops hurting? I wish there

How many Amelias could therebe…..

was a pill that could take away love or heartache but there isn’t, so I have to go through all the phases of this heartbreak.

The dismissal bell finally rings, and the children come running out. I see my children in the distance walking out and stopping in front of him. The man stretches out his arms to hug them, but they don’t come closer. The grimace of sadness on his face makes me see that he also suffers for not seeing them.

I mustn’t be petty. My children are not to blame, I must make them understand that their love for their father continues and will continue as long as they want it to. So I take courage and get out of the car.

I approach slowly and the first to see me arrive are Tony and Lily who run towards me and throw themselves into my arms, Juan Lu turns slowly and looks at me. I don’t know what’s in his eyes, but it looks like… surprise?

“Amy, I’m sorry for not letting you know I was coming, but I couldn’t stand not seeing them anymore. I swear it won’t happen again. He gives me explanations I’m not asking for.

“It’s okay, I’m sure they wanted to see you too. Well, then, I’ll leave them with you. I go home”

He nods as I kiss my children.

They don’t mention my work and I hope they keep it a snoret for now.

“Thank you ll take them out to eat and then

them back home.” The last thing he says makes me sigh.

Home. That will never be his home again. He must learn to express complete and correct sentences. To your house. That’s how it will be from now on.

I just nod and say goodbye. I take my children’s backpacks and walk to my car. The strangest thing of all is that I don’t feel like crying. Right now. I don’t feel anything.

“What do you think? I want your honest opinion, LeMonde.”

The man carefully examines the drawings. He seems pleased with what he’s seeing

“I like them. They’re fresh”

“Who’s the designer?”

Mrs. Dorantes gives a

a little smile. She knew the mystery man would be interested

“She’s a new girl. She’s talented but empirical. She needs to study and perfect her craft. I want your help”

The man smiles. He knew this dinner invitation wasn’t free.

“In six months. I’ll be starting a new course at my school, Send her to me. I return her to you a star for your fashion house. Or maybe I’ll keep her, I don’t know, hahahaha.” The deep laugh of this subject attracts the gaze of more than one lady. He is an attractive and very masculine man. He radiates sexuality from every pore. The woman looks at him mesmerized but who wouldn’t?
