>* If you quit on your dream and give up. You'll never know how great you can be. *****" I am really glad, Mary has a brother like you who is willing to guide her all the way... " Malisa said sincerely as she took the last sip of her tea, before dropping the glass carefully on saucer which was on the table. " Hm... She's also lucky to have a sister like you, you know... There's a limit to what I can do. When she gets to her middle teens there will be a lot of things I won't be able to help her with both physically, emotionally and mentally... " " You are right, I guess... " " By the way, how did you cope in your middle teens? " Aiden inquired... " Well...it wasn't that difficult as I kept all my thoughts to myself and only spoke when I was asked to. I never shared my dreams and desires with anyone, not with my mom as I knew she'd only end up laughing at me to scorn if I did. So I kept it all to myself. " " Hm... That must be hard. " " Yeah... It was. But it got bett

>* Never doubt yourself because doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will. ****** Happy 60 chapters, guys! * The study room became silent as the duo were both lost in thoughts... The silence wasn't awkward but rather peaceful and comfortable... Just like, Malisa preferred it. " Do you think I'll be able to pass the college entrance examination? " Malisa asked suddenly. Aiden was indeed very surprised by this question... " I don't just think you'll pass it. I know you will... You can do it, Mali. You just need to believe more in yourself... More than we believe in you. " He said, patting her hands... " You do believe a lot in me, Don't you? " " I do. " Aiden admitted... " Thank you... " " It's my pleasure... " " Don't you think I'll face discrimination due to my skin color? " This was probably one of the many things that had been bothering her for a while now...She had heard and read about how the whites discriminated against the blacks due to their

>* You can be anything if you dare to dream... *****All of a sudden Malisa recalled something and so she slowly detached herself from Aiden's embrace. " Are your wounds healed up yet? " She asked with concern. Aiden who had been wondering why she detached herself all of sudden from his embrace smiled before replying, " They have... " " Oh... " Malisa was relieved. " I am fine now thanks to you... " He said meaningfully. " Well... It was nothing really... I just did what I had to at that point, you know... " " Hm... Still I feel I won't be able to thank you enough. " " Well... I am happy to know that you are also AB negative. " " Oh... Why? "" You know, I got severely injured once from mistakenly cutting my hands with the kitchen knife... Due to the amount of blood I lost, I needed a blood donation. My parents volunteered to donate their blood to me. But after some tests were carried out. It was found out that they had a different blood type so they can't donate

" Malisa inquired. " Yep... The other day. We are now back to normal again. " " That's cool. " " You know, sis. Our relationship has become a lot stronger than it was before. " " That's normal. That's why it's said that, Fights and arguments are essential in any relationship as it makes the relationship grow stronger as the partners get to understand themselves more. " " Yep. " " One thing I realized from the books I have read and the few movies I have viewed is that, Having a best friend is very essential for every teenager. " Why do you say so, sis? " Mary inquired curiously. Sometimes she always thought it was better to stay without a best friend as it would be more peaceful and quiet then. So hearing this from, Malisa made her very curious. " The reason is, I have com

>* Sometimes it's harder to forgive a friend than an enemy.. but we just have to try. ***** The trio chatted for some minutes more before finally getting ready for sleeping. " Sis... How about I stay in your room tonight? " Mary stopped all of a sudden and turned to face Malisa. Malisa stared briefly at Aiden before replying. " Sure. " " Okay, sis... " " Hm... Goodnight, Aiden... " Malisa turned to say. " Sweet dreams, Mali... " He smiled back at her. " Same here. "" Goodnight, brother... "" Night, night. Princess. " He replied, leaving a quick peck on her forehead." Thanks, Bro... " Mary said before following Malisa to her room....****Weeks later... Malisa was sitting on the swing in the garden as she read through a textbook... Her entrance examination was coming up and she was studying hard for it...Just as she was supposed to. Perhaps it's because she hadn't faced any real examination before, so she wasn't that nervous...She believed that as long as sh

Malisa, who was wearing a simple flare gown and sandals, walked ahead of Aiden to the car.Unlike other days, Aiden was putting on something more casual... Just a simple Chelsea shirt and pants...

Though the aura of the Presidency was still there... Well... It's not like he could let go of it just because he wanted to anyways... The duo stopped in front of a blue Jeep...

So how is it possible that there's one going on without her knowledge?Well... I guess she had forgotten that she can only know about something that Aiden wanted her to. If he didn't want her to know then there's no way she would. " So what do you think of my surprise? " Aiden's voice Interrupted her from her thoughts. " It's not bad. " She smiled... " I'll take that as a compliment then... " He said parking the car in the parking lot. Just before Malisa could open the door on her side, he had already turned over and helped her to... " Let me.

And it's grandly celebrated in Paris which is known to be the city of love... Due to this, all the students in the music department in the college including, Malisa and Franchine were in school recording a love song for the day... The song was titled, Summer love... Since Malisa had a very beautiful and Angelic voice, she was in charge of singing the stanzas while the others sang the chorus with her.... They did this for some hours before they were dismissed when the music instructor was finally satisfied with the piece... They had produced. As their car was parked outside the campus, Malisa and Franchine had to walk through the campus. Due to this they were able to watch the grand valentine day ceremony in their college... Students from all departments participated in the celebration... Singers fr

Malisa and Franchine were discussing at the school canteen during free periods." So you began your training in the military at age 15? " Malisa asked, '' Franchine who was munching on some chips in front of her... " No... 14. I graduated highschool at age fourteen so I enrolled into the military that year too.. " " Wow. Really? " " Yep. So I served there for like 7 years before then traveling to Beijing where I practiced martial arts for 3 years before coming back earlier this year. " " Oh my! So you are 24? " Malisa inquired with a shocked expression." Yep... Do I look that young? " She smiled... " Of course you do. I thought you were nineteen or twenty... " Malisa said truthfully... " Well... I guess I have got a nice body build then... " " Yeah... So what's your plan now? " " Nothing much... Just studying music

>* When you have a goal. You stick to it. You never lose focus. *****The rest of the day went okay till it was time to head home... Aiden had lots of work to do. Franchine was responsible for driving Malisa home. The two young ladies were on their way to the car when their road was blocked all of a sudden by some ladies and men. Malisa was indeed surprised at this... She somehow had expected a confrontation but not on the first day... Like today! At least they should be allowed to breathe freely before confronting them... Malisa and Franchine both paused in their steps simultaneously as they awaited the other party's reaction. The other party consisted of three ladies and a man all dressed alike.It goes without saying that there were cult members. And, Malisa wondered what they have got to do with them. Since they never showed signs of being interested in the cult in the first place.So why...Franchine on the other hand wasn't a bit surprised at their confro

>* God will do for you what you cannot do for yourself. *****The first day at college was nothing like, Malisa had probably expected it to be like....Contrary to what she had been expecting, there were many black students too... Just like her. Those she recognized as black Americans. There were also many Indians and Chinese.There were practically people from different continents...So she didn't feel any awkwardness as she had expected she would feel. Wait, could it be possible that Aiden knew about this fact and that's why he chose this college especially for her and also assured her that she'll be fine. Malisa couldn't help smiling at this thought... She often wondered how caring and loving he could be to her... While all the new students sat in the registration hall waiting for the vice Chancellor of the school to address them...Malisa felt a presence beside her, looking up she saw a young looking lady around her age or above.

She became confident once again and lifted the awards up in the air. " I did it! " Only those who knew of her story would be able to understand the deeper meaning behind her words... Though some other people could feel the intense emotions in those three lettered words too... " Congratulations, Miss Bree... " Another Judge congratulated her too with a smile... " Thanks...
