THE FORGOTTEN MOTHER'S

DOMINIC-KELLY

Dominic gets out of his car and walks into the ballroom of a top public university in Toronto. He is currently speaking at a seminar on law held by the student senate.

Dominic's presence was welcomed by the committee and immediately headed to the venue. Currently in the ballroom is already crowded the students who will follow the public lecture.

Dominic looks straightforward in providing legal guidance to students. Among the students was a girl who focused on recording everything Dominic said.

When the event was over the girl quickly came out following Dominic who was answering questions from several media covering the activity.

After a while Dominic immediately headed for his car. "HM..Mr Dominic wait!"

Hearing his name called made Dominic stop his steps and turn his head on the girl who was seen running small towards his place.

Dominic narrowed his eyes, looking at the girl he remembered seemed to have met the figure.

"Master dropped the master book". Say the girl while giving Dominic a book.

"Have we met?"

"Yes sir. I'm Kelly, your friend Mr. Matteo's cafe waitress. The one that hit the master" Kelly replied alerting Dominic.

Dominic just remembered now who this girl in front of him was. "Of course I remember you" Dominic replied with a friendly smile. "Thank you for saving my important book" he said again.

"I also thank you for helping me at that time. I was so scared just in case I was really fired from my job sir. Your friend's words worry me" Kelly said bluntly.

"Of course it won't happen. Austin just scares you" Dominic replied. "Are you at the seminar?"

"Of course, sir, I was a law student last semester. The material you gave me was in accordance with the title of my thesis, your explanation was very helpful to me".

"Oh yeah? it was a coincidence" Dominic replied.

"Are you still in college now?"

"No sir, I have to work now" Kelly replied with a sweet smile.

"It just so happens that I want to meet Matteo at his company. Let's continue the conversation in the car".

"Oh.no need sir. I can go by myself", replied Kelly turning her body .

Spontaneous footsteps Kelly stopped. The girl thought for a moment. Of course he needed guidance from a competent person like Dominic so that he quickly completed his script and he soon became a scholar.

Kelly turned her back, looking at Dominic. "Of course I want you, but won't it trouble you?", asked Kelly hesitantly.

"What are you waiting for then? let's get in the car, let's continue the conversation" Dominic said with a meaningful smile.

"So you're one of the students of eternal law, Kelly?", asked Dominic who seemed to hold back his laughter.

"Yes how else. When my friends were scholars, I was still a student. I had to work day and night to raise money, and my college was abandoned. Lucky I got accepted to work at Mr. Matteo's cafe. My boss Miss Laura is so kind and understanding. He gave me permission to shift schedules to fit my schedule for college" Kelly said excitedly.

Dominic was stunned to see the fighting spirit of the girl. He was not even ashamed to be honest. For Dominic, Kelly is a smart girl especially when it comes to the law. The girl transformed into a different figure very critical in addressing a problem.

When Dominic's driver's car stops right in front of the cafe, Dominic prevents the girl from opening the door. "You should read this book, I'm sure you'll soon realize your dream, Kelly. You can also call me whenever you want" Dominic said sincerely.

"HM but Mr. Dominic.., says the master of this book is very important to the master?", asked Kelly hesitantly taking the book.

"I didn't give it to you Kelly, but I lent it to you. When you're done reading, you should return the book to me" Dominic replied with a smile.

"Eh...Of course, sir", Kelly replied misbehaving. He is deeply ashamed to have misjudged Dominic's good intentions.

"Now come down, I must meet Matteo".

Kelly nodded her head. "Thank you for driving me, sir. Your book I'll return immediately...

"To my office!", Dominic interrupted. "You have to take her to my office" she replied, staring at the girl's black bead.

Kelly nodded her head. While waving his hand as Dominic's car drove slowly.
