Cana felt a bit hot and she started to remove her blanket, she slowly stretched her arm and yawned. "Ah, it was a good sleep!" while rubbing her eye she slowly looks at the window and realizes that it was already gloaming outside. "Oh no! I overslept!" She immediately got up, and was confused about how she got in to her room. Looking at the other side where Mia’s bed is empty, although confused she decided to get up and prepare herself to go out. After washing up her face, she changed her clothes to an oversized shirt and rolled the sleeves to two folds, then tucked in the hem in her partial-length trousers, then wore plain white sneakers, when all set she grabbed a cap and headed out of the room. The interior of the villa is simple yet giving a cozy ambience, she looks more around to notice the beautiful light emitted as the remaining rays of the setting sun enters the living room. As her vision reached downstairs, she saw a silhouette by the glass window. “ Was that brother Samue
The two of them were walking on the side road, stopping by each stall and playing. He watches her as she enjoys the night market. "I still haven't seen Simone and Mia, are they fine or are they lost already?" Cana said as she searched for them. It is a bit crowded so it's hard to see other pairs. "Come here, you'll be bumped by others." Samuel called and when she turned her head, she really crashed into someone. Luckily he immediately catches her, preventing to fall. Cana’s heart raced at the closeness and the warmth felt relief as he supported her. The pair of women apologized for the incident and left. "I told you... Just stay by my side and don't wander around." "Thank you..." her cheeks flushed for her clumsiness, embarrassed he held her hand and led to a less crowded area. She wonders why they are leaving the path and goes to a nearby park and tells her to sit at the bench. "Brother Samuel, aren't we looking for the others, why are we sitting here when we haven't gone half of
Upon seeing the face she’s been longing for, she immediately runs towards him and forgets the earlier argument with her adviser. “Brother Samuel!” as she jumps, Samuel in reflex catches her and hugs her back. It was warm, she was happy to see him. Recently, it has been stressing her out and doing a lot of things. The requirements needed for Caloan University are quite hectic and too much work. Plus, Teacher Lim who was supposed to help her doubted her capability to enter the university. She has been discussing her application during the interview, however it was futile. She regretted that she didn’t ask any of her cousins or her aunt to come with her during the counselling. Luckily, Doctor Shawn - - - Mia’s mother was there to back her up and the principal also came along the way. [He will really judge me since I don’t have outstanding grades] she felt disappointed in herself with this matter. “Cana, it's been a while.” It was Samuel. She got back to the current situation and t
Canary is in the middle of the street trying to hold off a fight. Fist of two men kept flying and both of them could not be contained. “I said stop it Will and Simone!” she tried to interfere however an unintended arm hit her. Both men stopped when she landed on the floor, holding her nose. They both looked at her in surprise and panicked when they saw blood flowing out of her nostrils. Previously… Samuel decided to accompany Cana on the weekend to look for a place near the University, the results came fast unexpectedly and with everyone’s surprise she was the first student from the school to ever get admitted into the prestigious Caloan University. [I am supposed to be with you, however there’s some urgent matter I have to attend to.] His voice is weak and clearly in disappointment. “It’s fine, you said that we’ll meet later in the afternoon right? I’ll see you later.” Cana tries not to show her voice but she was also expecting to see the apartment together with Samuel. It was he
Only then Canary when Samuel is attending to her that she feels the pain on her nose and the difficulty of breathing through her nose. They insisted on rushing her to the hospital but she declined. Now resting in Samuel's car, he inclined the chair to let her rest and keep her head up. “You just ran out of nowhere and saw you throwing your fist at people.” he lectures Simone who is now kneeling on the ground. On his left was Nawill, whom she didn't know why stayed still along with them. “I’ll apologize but since it was also your fault i don’t feel sorry at all.” Nawill understands, if he just made a self defense and did not fight back Cana would not end up bleeding her nose. “I know, I was just surprised and I am sorry to, also Canary, I hope you’re not angry.” She glances at him, who is also kneeling repenting to what he has done. “Whatever it is, I hope you guys will not fight again.” She just let it go, no more energy to discuss it further she dismisses the two. However Samuel,
“Are these all you have to bring?” Her uncle asked her as the last box of her luggage was put out. “Yes, it is.” She thought that she doesn’t have many things actually, it was a realization that this house really is only a temporary place for her to stay. She didn’t even leave a single thing that might remind them of her. Her aunt is still worried and almost teary as she approached her, “My dear child, if you ever have a problem do call us, I cannot face your mother in heaven if something bad happens to you!” “Mom, don’t be like that, Cana is all grown up already and the place she will be staying at has security.” Romeo, who happens to be the only one left to accompany Cana, tries to calm his mother. Ruel and Randall wanted to come over as well and to send off Cana on the day she will move out of the house, but were both held back by their work. A bit later a car slowly parked in front of the house, it is finally the time that Samuel told her that he will drive her to her new place
“Then I will be expecting you to submit the whole report by the next meeting. Class is dismissed!” The old professor shuts his record book and leaves the platform. The student groans at the pressure of deadlines and others complain though they have no other choice but to comply. “Ugh… That professor is so stingy! How can he discuss half of the book and make us do a report in just a few days!” Cana complains as she skims the coverage that she needs to make a report. “Well he is one of the terror professors in this university, he is a legend itself.” Another girl commented as she stretched her arms from the pain of sitting for almost two hours. “Well you are right, Caloan wouldn’t be this prestigious if not for the well trained professors and other skilled personnels.” she smiled back to her. “By the way, Brigitte’s group is having a drink tonight, would you like to hang out?” “Oh, a drinking party? You know Clarice that I don’t drink so I’ll pass.'' It was a straightforward answer,
The party that is supposed to be lively comes to silence as the confrontation with Cadmium and Jackies gets heated up. Those who knew their temper of the Senior Jackies are quite and does not dare to speak of any, meanwhile knowing the only grandson and the successor of Austen Group got them tongue -tied, who would be so dumb to clash with someone who is from an influential family?“I’ll just leave no need to fuss over it.” Cana was the first to break the intense gaze between the two men.“Tsk… This woman, it was all your fault now leaving without any apology?” He still has a lot to say even though it was already clear who is the rude one and should be apologetic.“You still haven’t answered my question, Senior Jackies, I think you owe us an explanation.”
“Ten more minutes…” Her hand is trembling for every second that passes. “J-just a little bit more…” Sweat drops from her temples and a clear line as she crosses her brows. The atmosphere is so thick and there’s a clear tension. “Cana…” “Last five minutes…” the intense gaze makes her nervous. “W-wait!” In a blink of an eye she jumped out from her seat and raised her arms in the air. “I’m done!” “Finally Chelsea! I thought you'd be caught by the professor!” Meng exaggerates her tone teasing her friend. “Oh! Now give me my notes!” Cana on the other hand grabs her notebook and immediately puts it back on her bag.
It was one hell of a turmoil as the whole campus turned upside down to see the two sought after heirs of big company, not to mention the top freshman student and the most handsome guy in the campus. Cadmium Austen and Andrei Eldysse.“You guys, creeps me out.” Cana just shook her head and left the two who were busy bickering when they noticed she had left they followed through her.“The sophomore class is scheduled in the afternoon, why do you keep following?” Cad confronted Andrei who has neer left at Cana’s side.“I am just seeing her in class, is that a problem?” He keeps that casual smile on his face.“I am walking with her, we attend the same class, you don’t have to come!” He is now irritated that Andrei w
The kiss is short, their foreheads touching, both can feel the rising temperature and the flushed cheeks. “How do you learn that trick?” Samuel laughed at Cana, he never knew she would initiate first just to calm him down, still he is satisfied at how cute she is. “Just listen to me first…” Embarrassed, she buried her face to his chest and hugged him tight, Samuel smiled and from his bad mood he feels more blissful that Cana is relying more on him. It takes time, but as she foretells the whole story , he listens well, sometimes patting her head or kissing her cheek to console, with a hand holding hers, Cana was able to breathe out her worries and lift the heavy feelings that had accumulated in her chest. “If that was the case, do you want me to fetch you at school?” “Oh no, that would be a burden, I know that you are busy with your work and I don’t want to burden you.” The distance from Samuel’s workplace and her university is quite far and it’ll take an hour by car. Samuel just
“Cana, are you fine?” she snapped back to reality when she felt Samuel’s warm hands on her cheeks, when did he get closer she doesn’t know. They were actually eating dinner at a restaurant that he had reserved. It’s been a while since they were able to dine out and spend time together. “Samuel, well… I'm fine.” She tried to force out a smile, Samuel noticed a few scratches on her cheek and her wrists but he did not mention it to her since he wants her to confide more to him. “Then shall we walk outside? This place has a rose garden maze. It would be nice to watch the moon.” Guiding her out, as expected Samuel chooses such a romantic place and never fails to lift up her mood, as like what she has imagined the blooming roses on the walls are pretty and fragrant. “Wow! How can there be such a big maze here!?” While she is admiring the place Samuel has given a signal to one of the staff that was on standby. Looking at Cana, she has grown, her shoulder length hair when they first met i
Cana has forgotten the incident over the weekend, she has spent cleaning her room and of course a date with Samuel on Sundays. Her Monday morning is usually packed with major subjects, as she was about to enter she bumped into none other than Cadmium.“H-hello?” He greeted her first.“Hi?” They are both confused, and he was the first to enter the classroom, the other guys whom she thought acquaintances. She looked for a vacant seat, she saw Clarice on the other side and waved at her.“Clari--” Is it just my imagination or she avoided mye?Cana just chose to be at the nearby vacant seat, she is a bit confused, usually Clarice will reserve a seat for them as the middle row. However this tim
