100 Days With Mr Romero

“Have an incredible stay in New York ma’am.” the pilot wished Emma after the private jet landed in the airport in New York.

“Thank You. ” she replied with a bright smile.

She held her hand bag firmly and carefully walked out of the private jet.

Emma was looking entirely different compared to how she was three years ago when she left. It was as if she had been re-created.

She traced her steps down the jet. Emma’s hair is now very long and its length was around her waist. Her long hair is straight and wavy at the tip. Emma now looks like a model .

She was as curvy as ever. Her skin glowed and her teeth were sparkling more than ever. She took more steps further away from the jet after stepping out of it. She was still in the airport area.

She wore a skimpy purple dress decorated with diamond stones scattered around it. Her glossy black shoe and designer hand bag could qualify her for a movie star. She carefully flipped her beautiful hair and her hazel eyes were looking around the airport of New York.

Such an incredible transformation around here she thought as she observed the recently constructed features and newly erected buildings. She was certain the place wasn’t like that when she left three years ago for Chicago.

Three years ago, Emma recalled how she had left this town devastated, very angry and she left feeling betrayed. When she was leaving the airport, feelings of grief and sadness haunted her and she never thought she could overcome it.

“That was then Emma. ” she muttered to herself.

Now, she was here feeling like she owned New York city which she planned to do very soon. She smiled inwardly over the thoughts she have for this beautiful city. As far as she is concerned, she had come to establish her presence and show the business side of her.

After moving farther away from the jet, Emma then headed to the black polished Benz awaiting her arrival outside the airport area.

“Welcome Ma’am. ” greeted her driver with a smile.

“Hello. ” replied Emma smiling back.

Her driver opened the door and they plunged into the car, then set out to her parent’s home. Emma was smiling. She brought out her phone and texted Sam.

‘I’ve arrived in New York.’ she messaged him and didn’t get a reply.

Emma looked through the Benz window and she could tell how the city had change. For her, the change was rapid. She kept swinging her head from side to side through the window looking at the city. The driver noticed this act and he spoke.

“For how long have you been away ma’am? ” he asked her while they were stuck in traffic.

“Three years. ” replied Emma.

“I left three years ago. ” she added.

“That’s quite long. ” commented the driver.

“And since then you didn’t step into the city even once? ” he asked her while driving.

The road was clear now and they were out of traffic.

“I’ve never showed up since the last three years. ” she admitted resting her back on the chair.

The driver nodded and adjusted the front mirror.

Emma knew probably the driver must be thinking she loved Chicago so much that she didn’t come to her hometown even once since the last three years.

If only he knew the injuries this city inflicted on her. But that was then. She assured herself and smiled halfway celebrating her healing.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

In her mind, Emma admitted how much she had missed New York and how different it looks. She wondered whether the recreational centers she knew were still the same or perhaps more colorful now. She thought about the restaurants and shopping malls she loved in the city and wondered what kind of alterations the had now.

She then thought about Mike. Emma knew that she would miss him. Mike made her stay in Chicago more eventful. He introduced her to different recipes, new books and always looked out for her. Emma always felt Mike is the neighbor everyone needs.

Last week while she was still in Los Angeles, Mike had informed her that he was heading back to Florida with his sister to make up for lost times. Emma was meant to understand that Mike needed to catch up with Natalie to make up for all the lost years thus the need for some family reunion.

“I will miss you Mike. * Emma had told him when he called her.

“I will miss you more Emma. ” he had replied.

He had also told her to take care of herself promising they would stay in touch and she wished him well before ending the call.

“Are we there yet? ” Emma asked her driver sitting up properly.

“Almost. ” he replied.

“We will be there in about three minutes. ” he promised and Emma nodded.

Emma fell back on the chair. She had missed her parents and couldn’t wait to meet them. Even though they spoke consistently on the phone, Emma was yearning to see them, touch them and professed to them how much she had missed them. She also missed Peter her cousin and who was staying with her parents. She heard he was done with college now.

“We are here. ” announced the driver after parking the car in front of her parent’s house.

Emma quickly got out of the car and marveled at the change which occurred in her street. Her house was no longer pink. It was renovated and painted blue.

Emma couldn’t wait to get into her parent’s house.

“Mom! ” she screamed from the outside while the driver was getting her luggage from the car.

“Dad! ” she screamed.

Her parent’s came out running towards her. Emma ran to meet them and the three hugged each other for a long time.

*I’ve missed you my child. ” her mother said amidst sobs.

“I’ve missed you guys more. ” Emma replied and immediately cleaned the tear running down her cheeks.

“No tears Pearl. No tears. ” cautioned her father.

The two women chuckled while the driver walked pass them taking Emma’s luggage into the house.

“And Peter? ” Emma asked after they broke away from their emotional embrace.

“He is in the kitchen cooking a storm. ” told her father with a smile.

“Welcome home Emma. ” her mother said hugging her again.
