2021-06-07 17:48:19"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 cured.... if we operate it ... soon.... but.... but where do we... get all those money? It's nearly 20,000 yuan", Dad's eyes were full of tears.
*Note: 1 yuan is 0.16 usd*
Tears rolled down mom's cheeks. Dad's eyes were also full of tears.
.....
After half an hour they came back to the living room, as if nothing happened. Sharlene knew everything, but she decided not to ask further more as they didn't say to her either.
Sharlene couldn't sleep that night. She knew pancreatic cancer was hard to treat and the living chances were also very low.
In her small room she sat, depressed, miserable and disheartened, not knowing that her fate was going to be more cruel than ever.....
She cried the whole night. Her face was red, her eyes were puffed out and she couldn't sleep.
She knew her mental health could get worse if someone whom she loved dearly left suddenly again...
...
Sharlene was sitting on the bench under the soft shades of cherry blossoms, thinking how she'd help her dad overcome the disease. Daniel happened to pass by. He saw her depressed and sad.
"Hey, what's up? Why do you look so depressed??", He sat down beside her.
"Oh, when did you get here?", Sharlene hurriedly wiped off her tears.
"I was passing by. What happened?? Why do you looked so depressed??"
"Nothing....", said she, her voice crackling as she spoke.
"You can't lie to me. I know when you are lying and when you're telling the truth okay? So tell me what's been bothering you today?"
"I.... My dad.....my dad is diagnosed with....pancreatic.... cancer", a single drop of tear rolled down her cheeks.... she couldn't hold her dejection anymore.
She started sobbing, tears fell off uncontrollably. Daniel hugged her softly and patted her head.
After crying and spilling all her anxiety, she calmed down.
"I'm.... I'm so sorry I made your T-shirt dirty.", Sharlene pointed at his T-shirt which was soaked with her tears.
"T-shirt is not a thing to worry about. Well, Don't worry my cousin is a high post doctor at Ruijin Hospital. I will ask him if he can help.", said he.
Lex was passing by. He saw Sharlene crying with a guy. He hurried towards them.
"Little meoww... Why are you here?? Who is this guy?? Why are you crying?? Did this guy hurt you??", said Lex.
"Why do you always appear out of nowhere?...... And how many times did I say you not to call me .....Little meow...", Sharlene was agitated.
"Who is this guy?" asked Lex nervously.
"He.... he is Daniel.", said Sharlene.
Lex felt heavy feeling in his stomach. He knew it was all over for him... But he wouldn't give up.
"Okay you guys sit here I will buy some drinks.", Sharlene sighed.
She went off.
"Wow! What a surprise! So you are the Daniel Wu whom Sharlene talked about day and night??", asked Lex with a smirk.
"Yes, and who are you? I don't think I've ever seen you.", Daniel glared at him, fidgeting his fingertips.
"I am her best friend, Lex, and know that I just hate you and your ugly face.", said Lex narrowing his eyes.
"I dont think I like you either, and.....I don't remember asking for your opinion. Looking at your face makes me feel disgusted.", Daniel was rather annoyed.
"You like Sharlene?", asked Lex, embarrassed by Daniel's reply.
"What if I do? Does that have anything to do with you?", Daniel was irritated.
"Yes, I like her....", he was about to say other words too but then Sharlene arrived.
"Hey guysss, Here you are. Daniel, I bought your favourite milk tea, here you are lex."
Lex was sneering. He felt a burn inside himself...
"Okay Let's go, oh and Daniel mom has invited you for dinner do you have time today if you don't have time then you can come later too", said Sharlene.
"It's okay I can come today. Lets go.", said Daniel
Lex pressed his lips flat. He clenched his teeth. He couldn't stand seeing Sharlene with Daniel.
"Lex do you want to come too? We can have dinner together.", said Sharlene.
"No, Besides I am very busy today. Lets have dinner some other time", said Lex.
"Okay then we're off. Bye Lex."
"Bye Sharlene, be careful on your way home."
....
Ding Dong.... Ding dong....
"Coming who's there", shouted mom from the kitchen.
"Mom its me....", came a voice.
Mom opened the door.
"Good evening Mrs. Jennifer", said Daniel.
"Good heavens! Who is this handsome guy? Is he your boyfriend Sharlene? Why didn't you tell me before?", her mood lifted.
"No momm... don't you recognise him? he's not my boyfriend! He's Daniel...",Sharlene was blushing.
"Wait what did you say? Daniel? He is....D-Daniel?? ", mom gasped. "Oh dear, i didn't recognize you. You've grown to be much more handsome and taller. Come in! "
They talked for nearly 2 hours and had their dinner. After a long talk Daniel returned back home. But the thing that bothered him was that he was not the only one liking Sharlene and he knew it would not be easy.
"tuntuntooooou troroororo rorororo tuu uuuuu", the phone rang.
"who could it be at this hour.", thought Sharlene.
"hello..."
"hey...its me Daniel", came the voice.
Sharlene's heart fluttered..... hearing his voice cheered her soul
They talked the whole night sharing all their joy and sorrows...

"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.

"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

"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 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.

She walked as fast as she could. She hadn't felt so nervous in all her lifetime. By that time the echoing footsteps had stopped. She turned around. She saw the classroom of agriculture department. She hurried there. Fortunately, no one had locked the classroom, she hurriedly went inside locked the door from inside. The room was all dark, only small lamp light's shadow could be seen through the window. It was dead silent. The empty seats all over the classroom made the room even scary. Lin Lin crouched in one of the corners. She hurriedly took out her phone. And called Sharlene. "Sorry the number you have dialled is not available at the moment. Please try again later." Lin Lin was highly strung at the moment. The silent hall seemed creepy at the dark, until when the soundless hall was broken by a bang of door. Someone was knocking on the door heavily. Lin Lin hadn't been so nervous in all her lifetime. She started sobbing. Out of nervousness she dialled

And it was all a misunderstanding.”, Ryan fixed his buttons.“Do you think I’d believe you after all those things you did to mom?!”, he bit his lips and turned towards Ryan, his face all neutral.“Do you know what actually happened that day?”, Ryan sighs. “The girl she fooled me. She was claiming to shut my whole company down if I didn’t invite her to my home for the contract. Then she was then harassing me and asking for money. She was touching me without my permission.
