RIA EPISODE 38
THEME:DREAMS COME TRUE ?
°°°°TWO WEEKS LATER °°°°
AUTHOR POV
It was time! The day to Launch “RIA ROBERT COUTURE” after weeks of setting up! The inside was what one could imagine High decorations and white walls. Every windows and the huge Glass entrance had Ria’s designer brand “RRC” engraved on it.
Clothing racks filled with clothes, glittery gowns and silk dresses in different style and beautiful color schemes. These dresses were designed and made by Ria with the help of her sewing team.. Elise,Loretta and Cassidy.
They spent weeks working on each dresses to put it up for this day.
Dresses over the sections. There were a lot of them. Two ladies standing at each rack to attend to people.
People walking in and out of the building – High and Mighty people of High class Intelligence.
It was a sight to bear!
A DREAM come TRUE!
“This is incredible!”
Elise said
“Yes..people really turned up Miss Ria”
Cassidy added
“Yeah..giving out the invitation Cards really helped” Loretta said
“Hey have you guys seen Phoebe and Phoenix around?” Ria asked
“They are with Mr Ian” Cassidy replied
“He is here?” Ria asked again
She hasn’t seen him since he left her new home last night.
“Yeah..I saw him with Granny a while ago”
Cassidy responded
“Well..maybe he just came in” Loretta added
“You should get dressed now” Elise said to Ria
“Oh yes..it almost time for your speech” Cassidy said as she checked her wrist watch
Elise steered Ria around the back and zipped the dress open at the side. Ria stepped carefully into the centre. Ria carefully shifted the gown Into place around her body and Elise zipped it. Loretta dropped down a beaded stiletto crimson heels.
Ria was excited over the dress she’d made. She quickly put the five inches heels on. She found them surprisingly comfortable.
The dress was a shocking deep crimson and strapless with a form of fitting bodice and it flowed out in stunning billowy waves of fabric to the floor. Her hair was styled elegantly on the top of her head with tendrils wisping around her face. Her makeup was flawlessly applied.
“You look beautiful!” Cassidy clapped excitedly.
They all looked beautiful In their stunning dresses!
“Now let’s show Miss Ria to the world!” Loretta said
They all rolled into laughter
A soft knock sounded on the door
“Come in”
A lady stepped in
“It’s time” she said
“Oh! We’ll be out soon” Elise said to the lady
A Rostrum was set up at the center part of the room.
They stepped into the crowd as Ria eyes searched the room for Ian.
“Look he’s over there” Mrs Elise pointed to a direction
Then she found him.
He was taller than most of the men around him. Ian wore a custom tailored Tuxedo that fit him perfectly like a glove. And then,too the man could get to her. He really could. Standing there so tall and handsome,so sexy and so mischievously sweet on top of everything else.
Talking to his business associates, Ian then came to an abrupt Halt when he saw Ria headed towards him as she greeted people along the way with the brightest smile. He gasped trying to take in her beauty.
Ria’s breathe caught at the same time when their gaze met.
He excused himself from the group and went to her.
“Wow..you look amazing” he complimented
Ria cheeks flushed pink
“You look stunning too”
“Oh really?” He flashed her a bright smile.
She nodded
“Yes”
“Thanks for wearing the Diamonds” he pointed to the $20 million dollars Diamond he had bought for her.
Few days after the party, Ria gave the diamonds back to Ian but he refused it saying that he bought it for her. She said that it was too Expensive and that she couldn’t own such valuable accessories.
Then Ian told her she was more expensive than the diamonds!
He persisted and managed to persuade Ria to accept it as a gift from him.
There was no arguing with him so she accepted the Diamonds. Promising him that she would keep it safe and not lose it.
“I should be the one thanking you Ian”
“For?” He asked
“Everything”
He leaned closer and whispered to her
“Then I’m happy with the choice I’ve made”
“Hello Everyone”
The famous MC said into the microphone as he stood in the Rostrum.
Everyone turned to face him
“Shall we?” Ian asked Ria
She nodded and slid her arm into Ian’s
They motioned towards the Rostrum
“We’re all here to Launch this new Business ” RRC” in the state and celebrate with It owner”
Everyone clapped
Ria exchanged pleasantries with Mrs Perla when she got to her side. Elise,Cassidy,Loretta and the kids were standing close.
“Now let’s welcome the Lady of the day! The latest Business Woman in our state and also the newest clothe designer in the Fashion World -” Everyone began to clap
“It No other person than…Ria Robert!”
The clapping increased
Ria walked to the Rostrum with Everyone taking in the beauty of Ria and her dress.
She could see everyone…and everywhere from where she stood.
She didn’t prepare any speech in a note..but she depended on her Heart to deliver the words.
The clapping ended abruptly and she began
“In Life,you need to have steps to turning your dreams to reality. But taking holding of those dreams isn’t an easy task to accomplish. It not about having a dream but it about having the courage to act on it” she paused
“I used to be a blind lady with a dream to becoming a clothe designer. I was blind but – i had a dream. At that point that dream seemed like a burden of to me cause I was hopeless. Nevertheless, that dream I saw as a burden became a vision. And that vision was bigger than me. And along the line I wrote down my dreams and also placed it in my heart so I won’t forget it”
She stopped to study the expression on their faces
Everywhere was surprisingly silent!
She had their attention!
Then she continued
“Being disabled is not an excuse to be a failure”
She blinked back tears as she shared the words of her mother.
Ria promised that she wouldn’t shed a tear today.
Because it was Happy Day!
And even if she was going to cry then it would be tears of joy!
“Those are the words of my mother. And I held on It. Promising that I won’t be failure”
She continued after a momentary pause
“You know,God can do anything.. Far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams!. And I’m grateful to God and to the people in my life. To my greatest Companion -” she looked straight at Elise who was now wiping tears at the corners of her eyes.
“She was my eyes when I couldn’t see,my guardian and my support in hard and good times. And I don’t know if there would be Ria Robert today if you hadn’t stepped into my life to help me. I’d love you Mrs Elise”
Everyone clapped
“We love you Mommy!” Phoebe and Phoenix screamed at the top of their voice from the crowd. She waved at them and muttered
“I love you too”
Then she continued after the clapping ended
“And to the one.. Who I’ll forever be indebted and grateful to -“
This time she focused on Ian
“I haven’t said this to you before but I’m confessing now that you’re nice,kind,compassionate and the most wonderful man I’ve ever encountered. You brought the greatest joy into my life which was helping me and bringing my dreams to reality. RRC is in existence because of you. And I’m grateful for Everything Ian Bryant”
Everyone clapped again
Ian couldn’t control his emotions for Ria. He was joyful at Ria’s words to him.
He could hardly believe that Ria considered him as “most wonderful” Man
“A big thank you to my Sewing team.. Mrs Loretta and Cassidy..we worked together to make these dresses you’re seeing today. And i also Appreciate Mrs Perla Bryant”
Perla flashed her a smile from the crowd.
She was happy to be a part of Ria’s success story.
She continued
“If you are discouraged and feel as though your dream is dying. Don’t give up! Don’t give up to soon on your dreams! Keep going. Keep dreaming that dream God has put into your heart. It’s always too soon to quit and remember Winners never Quit -“
“Quitters never win!”
The crowd chorused
“Thanks for coming!” They clapped as she disappeared below the crowd level
“Congratulations”
Ian gave Ria a bouquet which Ramsey brought to him. He kissed her cheeks
“Thank You”
“And that was awesome Miss Ria!” Cassidy exclaimed
“And Elise didn’t stop wiping her face” Loretta said
Ria moved to Elise
“Now look what you’ve done to these babies” she pinched her cheeks gently
“She’s so emotional” Perla said
“Come on Mrs Elise today is a happy day” Cassidy said
“Yes i know..and they are tears of joy..I’m just happy”
Then Ria hugged her
“Thank you” she whispered into her ear
It was only Elise that could really relate to those words about her dreams.
Elise knew her story and how hard Ria had worked to fulfill these dreams and also what she went through in the last six years.
“You deserve the best” Elise said to her after she calmed
It was the best feeling!
That joy of fulfilling your dreams!
Ria blinked back tears again as she wished her parents were alive to see everything.
Then she would have been the happiest person In the world today.
“Sir the media houses are waiting” Ramsey whispered to Ian
“Mommy can we share the candies and towels now?” Phoenix asked Ria
“Yes my love”
“Thanks mom!”
“And a kiss too” Phoenix said again
Ria crouched down to their sizes and they placed kisses on her cheeks before racing off to Ria’s office to grab the items they want to give out to people. They bought the candies with their savings.
They both insisted that they would give out Candies to people when Ria told them not to worry about it.
But she agreed In the end.
“Ria it time for the interview” Ian said to her
She looked at Mrs Perla
“Can you handle it?” Perla asked
Ria was silent
The representatives sent from the national TV waited patiently outside the building.
“I can tell them to Leave -“
“No” she cuts him off
It was already planned that she would be interviewed today. So telling them to leave without any good reason isn’t a good idea.
“I will do it”
It just an interview anyways
But she was still a bit nervous.
She drew in a deep breathe
The interview on National Tv and words to other media Houses would help boast RRC. Ria thought
But little did she know that her appearance on National Tv would bring Destruction to another fellow

“I’d rather stand tall
Than live on my kneels
Cause I’m a conqueror and I won’t accept defeat…”
?☺??
Ria deserves the best of what the world can offer to her!
Finally….
She made it!
I’m so happy for her!
Well thanks to Jentezen Franklin! I read this book “Take hold of your dreams”
Some of the words said by Ria was inspired by this book!
