Lord, please show me away. '' I muttered.Perhaps it's because I have been crying all night as I just couldn't hold back my tears.I found out that crying makes me light-hearted and better.So well.My voice feels very hoarse now from all the crying.I badly needed a cup of brewed tea.As if my Wish was granted the next moment.

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...

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

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

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...

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.

His hair was combed very nicely making him look very young and dashing... He didn't look like the usual way he does today.Rather he looked like a college student who was going out on a date. 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...
