His Purchased Wife

"Hello, Vancouver city…" Susan sang while stepping down the stairs. Emily and I are behind Susan. The city greeted us with good weather and a lot of sunshine.

"I have planned the whole stay here. Hiking, boating, shopping…" Emily started but was immediately interrupted by our workaholic Susan.

"Nope! We are here for work, not holidays, girl."

Emily curled her lips to one side. "Will you stop telling me what to do and what not! God Susan, you behave like a mother hen." She said, throwing her hands in the air, clearly showing her irritation towards Susan.

I glanced at Emily and Susan, sighed and walked slowly without any of them noticing me. Our Limousine was waiting for us, upon seeing me the driver opened the door for me. I passed him a smile but before settling inside I looked at my friends who were fighting like Tom and Jerry. I chuckled imagining Susan as Tom and Emily as Jerry.

Ah! My imagination sometimes made me imagine the weirdest things. "Hey Girls, if your world war three has finished, join me or I would be leaving without you both." I squealed at both of them.

They both gave me a pointed look but stopped their bickering. Walked towards the limousine and settled down inside it calmly. The driver started the car and the journey started. I looked out the window, the beautiful scenery of the city was passing through my eyes. A small smile came to my lips though I travel a lot but Vancouver was always the city I felt connected with and why not! My mom was basically from here. Even though Dad was settled in Boston, USA and mom was happy there but she never forgot her city. The city of Vancouver.

The beautiful maple trees around here turned red in this season which increased the beauty of this city ten fold. It looked as if a red haired angel had casted a spell here. The sunlight brightens the red leaves making it look like gold. The joy of passing through this beautiful scenery could make anyone fall in love with the place.

Smiling, I touched the pendant on my neck. Whenever I feel nervous I wear it, it makes me feel closer to my mom.
