I was climbing the long stairs to reach the castle then someone shakes me and I fell down the stairs. While I was standing someone pulled the duvet off my body and making me groan in annoyance. I rub my eyes as the bright light made my sight blur and I see Linda hovering over me with a huge smile plaster on her face. She then pointed towards the wall clock and my eyes became wide awake as I'm getting late for my graduation ceremony.
A huge smile plaster on my face when I think about the graduation ceremony. I Ukrine Texel is going to finally pass out of the university and get a bachelor's degree in business studies. I'm been waiting for this day for the last four years and now I couldn't believe that it's the golden day of my life.
I scurried to the bathroom and took the shortest shower I have ever taken and wear a knee-length gown bought by my dad from Paris. I prefer a natural look so I applied the blush and mascara with nude lipstick. I then unlock my mobile and message my friends that I will reach soon. I let my hair open applying the serum and wore the Gucci heel with a matching black clutch.
I descend down the stairs and walk towards the dining area then I devour the mouthwatering waffles with my morning coffee. After bidding goodbye to Linda, I went outside to find Mr. Wilson waiting for me near the car. I walk to the car and hop inside the passenger seat.
"Ms.Ukrine, Sir will meet you at the ceremony. He had told me to drive you there." Mr, Wilison said looking at me from the front driver seat and seeing me nod he drove the car putting on the seat belt.
I took out my mobile from the clutch and pout when I saw zero notification. I then dial Sewz's number and wait for her to receive the call.
''Swez, where are you?'' I asked her once she accepts the call.
''On my way. This earring is making me mad.'' She groans making me chuckle and I hung up the call telling her to meet soon.
Then I remember about the party, we have had yesterday. It was the best party we had ever had in our lifetime. We had danced, sang and played weird games. Although I haven't had alcohol and was completely on my senses, yesterday's party made me feel wild and wonderful.
20 minutes later, the car came to halt and Mr.Wilson opens the door for me to step out. I look around to find the students in their best dress with huge smiles plaster on their faces as today is the last day of our university life. I greeted a few girls and teachers on my way and went to our usual place. There I saw him playing games on his mobile. I slowly move towards him and snatch his mobile making him yell at me.
"Damn, you. I was about to complete the level." He scrunches his nose and I roll my eyes with a boring look.
"Whatever!" I said turning around and then he pulls me into a bone-crushing hug.
It is Charles, my best friend. He, me, and Swezla are best friends. I have met them in high school and since then we are good friends. We share our secrets, made fun of, argue, and love each other. Most of the time we spend time together in our secret place. Charles seems to have some liking towards Swezla but Swezla doesn't entertain such feelings. But anyhow if they end up together then I would be in the ninth cloud. I'm rooting for them since I saw the way Charles looks at Swez and it's just adorable.
We then walk towards the hall met Swez on the way, who was looking like Victoria's Secret model. She is incredibly beautiful and her smile made her look more gorgeous. She hugs me and started her story of being late. We then heard the announcement and went to the hall. The venue was decorated with balloons and colorful papers making it look welcoming.
We took our seats and the ceremony started with the principal sharing her few words. Then one by one, students' names were called to receive their certificates which was the happiest moment to witness. Parents also cheer for them and I miss my mom. I couldn't imagine how happy my mom would be if she was here, but unfortunately, I lost her when I was four years old. Anyway, she might be watching me from up and giving her good wishes.
I look around for dad when I saw Charles's mom wiping her tears seeing Charles at the stage, receiving his certificate, and posing for the camera. His dad was giving him thumbs up with a huge smile on his face. I smile when I saw Charles looking my way and showing off his certificate.
At that time, I find myself alone even though I was surrounded by hundreds of people. I was happy, we all were happy but I was yearning for my mom each passing second.
I love you mom, wherever you are.
When my name was called and I went forward and received my certificate with good remarks. While I look at the crowd I found my dad smiling at me with a proud smile. He mouthed me love you and I also mouthed back love you too. I then ran towards my dad and engulf him in a hug.
"Congrats, Princess. I'm so proud of you. Zara would be so proud." He said pecking me on my forehead and hearing mom name I kind of become emotional but it went away as soon as my friends came to congratulate me.
"Congratulation to all of us." We three say in unison and snap pictures to remember this wonderful day.
We soon bid goodbye to each other as our parents have arranged the party to celebrate this day with our close ones and went home with our parents who were immensely happy for our own good.
