JUST US [LingOrm FF]

Being away from Lingling for too long will make me crazy. So, my plan is to bury myself with work to forget the ache in my chest and longing that I'm feeling right now. The fashion show is fast approaching, and I am very busy with that, checking all designs and making sure that the dresses are all in good condition.

The OKD fashion show will be on Saturday along with Calvin Klein. I'm very fucking nervous and really don't know what will happen that night. I just hope my show will be successful. Though Lingling won't be here to support me, my family and friends would be here. Bright and Nene had come home with me and Alex's family. Jake and Annie along with Janthana and Charlie had come two days as well after we left Chiang Mai. I was very thankful that they were all here to cheer on for me.

"Ms. Sethratanapong, channel 4 to interview you."  my publicist, told me. I was now in the backroom an hour before my fashion show. It was eerily calm now but minutes before the show, I know it would be a jungle in here. I favoured my publicist to not let any interviewers come in thirty minutes before the show starts so that I can still prepare the models. But there's still one hour before the show and at this hour, reporters were coming in and out to have a word with me.

I walked out of the backroom and onto the runway where they wanted to have the interview. They asked questions mostly about the fashion show that will going to happen in less than an hour now. They asked what design did I came up with this season, about how my style were different from other designers' clothes, etc. I answered all of their questions with passion and yapped away like a geek talking about my clothes.

Until they asked about Lingling.

"How do you cope up with the rumors that Lingling is in another country with another woman?" The reporter asked.

"I'm sorry, but that is enough. It's an irrelevant question." my publicist pulled me and walked back to the backroom. 45 more minutes before the show. Thankfully, that was the last reporter. It went very well but I didn't like to think about the reporter's last question. I knew that Lingling was with another woman, but the other woman was just another model like her. They were doing a photoshoot together.

In Europe.

I shook the thought away from my mind and focused on my show. 30 more minutes now. I had to go to work, finalizing on the make-up and hair. Other dresses had threads sticking out and I had to stitch them up. Thankfully, there weren't major problems. They asked me about the music they were going to play and if the lights were too bright or too dark for my liking. I told them it was fine. Franco did a good job.

When the show was about to begin, Franco told me that I was to be seated in the front row along with my family. I was walking towards my seat when I gasped at who was sitting beside Alex.

"What are you doing here?" I asked, surprise written all over my face.

"Well, we definitely wouldn't miss this. What kind of parents do you think we are?" My father said. He came over to me and pulled me in a hug. I froze for a little while but relaxed when he whispered, "I'm so proud of you, kid."

We pulled away then my gaze went to my mother. She was wearing an OKD original.

So that's why Bow asked for another dress. I thought.

"Hi mom. You look great." She was wearing a gold sequined plunging neckline dress that ended below the knees.

"So do you." She wrapped her arms around me then kissed my cheeks. "This is great Orm." She gestured around the room with her hands. "You've come so far."

"And I'm glad to share this with you both."

I can't believe my parents are here. They finally saw me as their daughter. Supporting me when I needed it the most had approved that they were changed people.
