The fields looked freshly viridescent. The sound of birds and the laughter of children could be heard all over. The cherry blossoms looked mind-freshing. Their pink shades made it look imaginary, It felt as if it was some kind of wonderland. The sun was like a ball of fire. It stood proudly over the sky, giving the world a new ray of hope.
The park was accented with creamy vanilla and soft, almond-like aromas of the pink cherry blossoms, making earthlings aware that that the spring had arrived again.
9:20 AM, Sunny Day
Sharlene was already 19 years. On this beautiful sunny day, a sense of happiness filled her body. Her sixth sense was sensing something good. She felt more energetic than usual days. Her high school life had ended and she was having a holiday before starting her university life. As usual, Sharlene was searching the web for a good rom-com manga.
Ms. Jennifer shouted," Sharlene, do me a favor will you??",
"Yes mom as you say.", Sharlene wore a skirt.
"Go to the grocery shop and buy some fish and sausages will you dear?? If you are busy then I'll go by myself."
"No mom I can go. I need to buy some stuff too so it'd be better if I go by myself."
"Be safe on the way"
"Come on mom I've already grown up. You don't need to remind me of these things. Okay, then I'll be off. I may come a little late, I need to meet up with Lex and Clara to discuss which major to choose."
"Okay, come home soon"
She headed out.
I'm wishing loving was perfect I'm praying... you don't realize deep inside that I'm broken.....♪...♬....♫....♪...✿ ~
Humming the songs she walked in the path covered with cherry blossoms, She saw a guy standing under a tree. He looked like he was somewhat 20 years old. His skin looked soft and clear. His face looked quite familiar, but Sharlene didn't care. She had a glance at him and then she entered the store to buy her things.
"Little meowww, why are you here?", Lex was at the shop too.
"Heyy, how many times do I have to tell you? Don't call me little meow. That name is so weird." Sharlene frowned.
"Not weird it's cute. Why are you here? Did aunty ask you to buy sausages again?",he chuckled.
"Yes, she told me to buy sausages and fish. So, what major are you gonna choose?? You know university is starting soon."
"Errm yes..... I am thinking to choose Agriculture... what about you?? which major are you choosing??"
"I think I will choose Architecture. What about Clara??"
"She said she's gonna enroll in the fashion department.", Lex picked up a packet of noodles.
Sharlene suddenly remembered the guy standing under the tree. He gave her the aura of Daniel. Sharlene knew the familiar face was Daniel.
"Meow? Meoww?? Heyyy what are you thinking??" asked Lex
"Do me a favor. Please take these fish and sausages to mom. I will tell you later. I'm in a hurry, byee."
Sharlene ran off. Cold air bit into her lungs. After several thrusts forward her legs became tired. But she wouldn't want to let him go again. A few steps away she stopped. He was still there.
"Daniel!!!!" she called out. He was the only one to turn around and look at her eyes because he was Daniel.
She ran off with her little tired legs and wrapped herself around his arms. She felt a sudden relief as if all the grief that she had been holding all these years suddenly disappeared. It was the most spectacular sight. She hugged him under the pink shades of cherry blossoms as the little flowers gave a strong aura of love.....
...
He was confused at first. A stranger had called his name and hugged him all of a sudden.
As her hair Brushed around his cheeks, he could get a whiff of Sharlene's scent. At instance, he knew it was her. The one he had been searching for all these years. He clutched her in his arms as tight as he could to remove all the griefs and pains he had all these years.
Sharlene was so happy tears welled up in her eyes.
"S- Sharlene is that you?", Daniel patted her head softly.
"Where were you..... all these years?", asked she, sobbing, looking into his sorrow and happiness-filled eyes.
"I was having some family problem. My mom and dad were in bad terms with each other. They divorced..... and now I am with my mom.....", tears filled his eyes as he spoke.
Talking about the past they fell into long conversation~
The evening sun cast long shadows on the ground. They were in their own worlds, happy to meet each other after 4 years. Not knowing twilight took over the world....
"So why are you back to G city?", asked Sharlene.
"I really missed my hometown and you know what I will stay here now and I am enrolled in J University!! "
"Woww, what a coincidence Lex, I, and Clara are also enrolled in J University. I am so happy right now. Judging from your grades back then I thought you must've been enrolled in T university", said Sharlene in a state of excitement.
"No, I'd never get enrolled there.", said Daniel.
*But deep inside he knew he lied because he actually declined the request of T university to come and meet Sharlene. T university was one of the topmost renowned universities in the country.*
"Who's Lex?"
"Lex is my new friend. He transferred to our school 3 months after you left. His full name is Lex Han and he is very good to me. Just like you.", Sharlene smiled.
Daniel felt a sudden heat in his body after he heard those words. 'Just like me.... I wonder what are his characters'
"Okay let's go. It's getting darker. I will go drop you by your home."
"Okay"
.
.
"Mom, I'm home!!", said Sharlene.
"Dear, where have you been so late. Oh! and you look fresh and happy today. Lex came and said you had some works so you left. Come and sit I've made your favorite dumplings.", said mom.
"Mom.....", said Sharlene.
"Yes, what's up??"
"Mom, Daniel is back"
"Don't tell me you had the same dream again", said mom frustrated.
"No mom, I met him, I really met him in the park in front of the grocery store.", said Sharlene. "He said he also got enrolled in J university. We talked for so long. Mom I am not lying."
"Oh dear where was he all these years? why did he come all of a sudden? Ask Him to visit us sometime. I wonder how he looks now. I miss Amanda so much.", asked mom. "He said he-...", as she was about to utter the words the doorbell rang. "Ding dong..... Ding dong..... Ding dong....." "Yes coming who's there??", asked mom. When Mom opened the door, she was in total shock. It was dad. Dad was very depressed. He asked mom to come to another room. He was different than usual days. Sharlene decided to eavesdrop on their conversation. "Dear, I dont think its proper to say this in front of Sharlene but... Tears started coming out uncontrollably from Sharlene's eyes when she heard it..... Sharlene burst into tears .... "Dear it's not appropriate to say in front of our Sharlene but the doctor said I have been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer...... The doctor said it is in .... the first stage and .... can be cure
"Ohh dear what happened? Your eyes are puffed out..", shouted mom early in the morning. "Did you not sleep the whole night? Did you play with your phone the whole night again?" "No...... mom I was ... reading the whole night..... besides my university is starting soon.....", she was a little nervous. "Study?? did I hear that right?? You are studying?? That also the whole night and on the weekend? How am I supposed to believe you?", Mom was surprised. "Aww come on mom believe me. I swear I studied the whole night.", Sharlene rasised her three fingers. *Note: Three fingers lifting means making a promise.* "Okay let's see your university grades will show.", said mom with a little angry expression. "Okay mom, I need to go meet Clara. She said we are hav
"Phew that was a long way. I'm so glad we got in the same dorm Clara. I'll take the upper bed you take that one okay.", Sharlene was exhausted. "No!! the upper bed is mine and dont dare even look at it", came a voice. They both turned around to see a fine looking girl with slim legs and nice figure but with a cold attitude. She looked like a pampered princess of rich family. Sharlene and Clara rolled their eyes at her. She even had some servants to bring up her suitcase and unpack her things. "I came here first so it's mine." Sharlene gave a cold stare. "I will call the mistress and tell you to throw you out of the dorm if you dont obey me.", said she in an ordering voice. "Heh, you think too high of yourself. You aren't in home and just remember we all have the right to throw you out" Sharlene went up the bed unpacked her thing. The girl stomped her feet and went outside slamming the door. "Who is she? she thin
"Good evening students! I am here to announce about the group work. Have you all found your partners yet?""Yes, Mrs. Hwang.""Okay that's good. So, tomorrow morning all of you will come downstairs at 6 am with your clothes and necessary equipments. We'll be staying there for five days. And the agriculture department is also joining us in the trip. They also have a project to complete so, they'll be going with engineering and architecture department. Till then be ready!""Woww I'm so excited for the trip." Lin Lin squealed."Okayy lets return back to the dorm now. We need to prepare.""I don't want to see that Meihui. Who does she think she is? I just hate her. Why did I even get the same dorm as her?? ugghh!!!""That's what rich spoiled brats are. She gets all things so she even thinks she can control her. Gosh what an attitude. I just wanted to punch her right in the face when she claimed the bed I that was gonna use.""Yes I also w
"Dear students each pair will make a design of a building with their respective partners and also create a model. We have 15 pair of students. The things that are needed for making models are available on the three store rooms on the edge of the forest. It is better if you go to the first one and second one. The third one is a little far and in the dense jungle. Each of you will be provided with a map in case you get lost. All of you should complete the work in 2 days, today and tomorrow. The day after tomorrow we are going for a field trip to study about designs and structure. Each of you need to make sure if your respective partner is still with you. If anything happens then please come and report in the security room. Thank you! Hope you enjoy the work." "Hey what are we gonna make?", Sharlene asked in a subdued voice. "Ssshh, I already have an idea!", Daniel winked at her. They both were not aware about the glaring stares of angry girls who were planning
Hahh!! Finally you discharged.", Lin Lin jumped on the bed. "Stop jumping! What if it breaks?", Sharlene took out a bottle of water. "How will it break? The bed mattress is so thick how will it break??", Lin Lin looked confused. Ting ting ting turoooooorooooo tututu roooororororo The phone rang. "Hello!" "Hey, meoww its me, Lex." "Why'd you call me at this hour." "Are you discharged??" "Yes!" "We're returning back tomorrow right? Do me favour-" "What" "Sit with me" "Ehh! Is that even called a favour? I'm gonna sit with Lin Lin" "You can do it for me right? pleaseeeee." "You sound like a hamster.", Sharlene rolled her eyes "Eh! You aren't doing a small favour for your dear friend?" "Why in earth do you have to sit with me?" "Well ..... its... ermm... I found the necklace given by your grandma." "Huh! What did you say? The necklace tha
The bus stopped at the huge gates of the university. Everyone started getting off the bus. Daniel was sitting coldly in his seat still glaring at the two. "Hey! We're here lets get off.", Lex stood up. Sharlene and Lex got off the bus. Daniel was staring at them with such a cold stare that it would give chills to whoever looked at him. The sun shone brilliantly in the clear, blue sky. The warm breeze swirled to and fro making the grass of the ground tilt side to side. The air was mind refreshing. All students got off the bus, making a crowd in front of the giant university gate. Sharlene turned around to see two glaring stares at her. It was Lin Lin and Daniel. "Hey! You two, dont give me that scary look, I am getting creeped out.", Sharlene touched her necklace. Daniel looked at her happily touching the necklace that Lex gave (or so in his mind) not knowing that it was actually her own. "Hey you!! you will need to pay for what
Sharlene was heading toward the library when someone patted her shoulders. She turned around to see a girl, she was smiling. "Hiiii!!! Do you know Daniel Wu?", She asked. "uhh... yes....", Sharlene was confused. A stranger popped out all of a sudden and asked her about Daniel. "Can you do me a favour?", she gave a cute look. "Yes?", Sharlene was still confused. "Can you give this to him??", she handed a piece of paper and ran away. Sharlene was confused. She opened it. There was a letter inside. It read- "Dear Daniel, I can’t keep this secret any longer. I am probably going to deeply regret this, but I feel that you need to know the truth.... I really like you a lot.... a lot more than you could imagine, I haven't told you this because I know that you dont like me back. But I think you deserve the truth. The moment you came in this university, I couldn't st
