Dom is at her room, staring blankly to the corners of her room. Luckily, the maid opened the door for her or else her mother would see her in that style.
"Oh God, what have I done." she covers her face with her bare hands.
Taking off her dress and everything. She can smell Ash" smell, his saliva"s smell all over her body. She feels so disgusted but she has nothing to do but to wash herself with water.
Hot shower, streaming down to her naked body, feeling the heat of the water. She feels so numb, she couldn"t move like her body is feeling locked. Her hangover starts to trigger her head but losing her virginity with some random man is not so easy to deal to forget.
"Good morning honey!" Her mom, kissed her forehead.
She was preparing to go to school. Having her breakfast, her mom showed up with a big smile on her face.
"Good morning mom, where is dad?" she asks her mom.
Her mom sighs and shrugs her shoulder.
"Honey, where do you think he might be? Of course, to his office, your dad is very diligent to work." her mom said, rolling her eyes.
Her father is very workaholic. He even spends his night time and sleeping time to his office and that"s why her mother keeps on whining and sulking about it. Telling him to rest for a while but he couldn"t.
"To the company or here?" she asks her mom.
Her dad has his own office at their mansion. But her mom told her that he went off early to their company. Dom has no time for her father to bond, she misses him so much. As much as she wants to talk about what happened to her and Ash, she wouldn"t.
Dom is waiting for her best friend, Pat to fetch her off. Dom has her own car but Pat insisted to fetch and send her home which she likes the most. She sighed as she saw her best friend"s car from afar.
"Hey pretty! I"m sorry about last night. I need you to sleep there. And I went back to fetch you to go home but I remembered I locked the door when I left the room." Pat said, very apologetic.
Her eyes widened; everything should be blamed to her best friend but she doesn"t want to speak that about to her. She wants to hide that to herself, and keep it as her secret forever and Ash should be.
"It"s okay." she just said and fasten her seatbelt.
"I"m so excited! Just one month and it will be our graduation!" Patricia yelled and raised her arms up in the air while driving making Dom to get nervous.
"Pat! What are you doing? You're going to get us killed." she scoffed.
Patricia just laughed at her.
"Dom, you"re such a nervous person. You know, I"m not going to get us killed and we are going to graduate after a month." she said.
Dom just shakes her head.
The two of them just had arrived at the parking area and Evan waves at them as he saw them. Patricia as usual, fixing herself and making her face to be cute for him. Dom just scoffs.
"Pat, I need to go first." she said.
They don"t have the same subjects for the morning. While Dom"s professor is lecturing. She wouldn"t stop but to keep on thinking what happened. She couldn"t get out from her mind. As much as she wants to take it off from her mind, she has no power to do it.
"That man is so lucky to get me." she scoffs.
She was thinking Ash" face, remembering how they both ended up in bed.
Ash is at his office, thinking about her also. Dom"s goddess beauty keeps on popping to his mind. Making him not to concentrate doing what he needs to do.
"That night is the best night of my life, but it would be also the biggest mistake of our lives. It was just an accident but I feel so ashamed of myself." he said, shaking his head.
He knows Dom will not dare to talk to him even they are fated to see again. After what happened, he knows that she will not try her best just to see him again. Seeing him would make her weak, seeing him would make her remember what happened that night.
"Mr. Walton, your grandpa is here to see you." his secretary, asks him.
His eyes widened; he was surprised merely by his grandfather to his office.
"Let him in, help him." he said to his secretary.
He smiled as he saw his grandpa, walking so weak and so slow. His grandfather is merely stubborn, as much as they want him to rest and just stay at his room, he doesn"t want to.
"Grandpa, why are you so hard headed?" he stood up and helps his grandfather to sit.
His grandfather just sighs and urge himself to sit down. His foot merely hurts.
"And what will I do if I am just going to sit down? None, right. You know your grandpa; he doesn"t want just to stay and rest. He"ll get sick if that happens." he took a deep breath, massaging his feet.
That made Ash to chuckle a bit. His grandfather is the type of an old man who is very strict yet a funny one.
"You must be wondering I am here. I just want to talk some things to you. After a month, your cousin Evan will be graduating from his university life. I want you to take care of him, to teach him about working as the CEO. Because I want him to sit down as a CEO on one of my companies also. You know the process." he said.
He gasps, he knows that his cousin doesn"t want to be like them, businessmen. And he remembered Evan saying to him that he wants to be a doctor.
"Grandpa, why don"t you just let him choose what he wants?" he grabs her strength to asks that to his grandfather.His grandfather"s mild face became serious that he expected."Ash, you know I don"t want my fellow family members just to do what they want to do. You know I"ve been living with this kind of legacy since I was young. My father, your great grandfather, as much as I want to be a lawyer. What did he tell me? He told me it"s useless to follow what you want to. It"s just the same and he was right and look at me now. Getting old, happy, and contented because of what? I did follow him." his grandfather said.Ash didn"t say anything back to his grandfather. He knows he"s just going to be angry if that happens. He just nodded and said yes to him for he doesn"t want to get scolded.After sending his grandfather, he chooses to take a sip of some coffee first down the alley near to his office. He headed to the coffee shop which he keeps on going. The bes
One week had passed and it is the last week of the month before their graduation. Dom didn"t get the chance to see Ash again. And the last time they both saw each other is the very last time before they are going to see each other again. Because Dom finds out from Evan that Ash already flew back to abroad for his and their company.All of them were very excited to leave the college life but Dom isn"t happy. She doesn"t know why she is not happy but she feels so weak and always exhausted."Dom, I"m so worried about you. Why don"t you go to the doctor? Maybe you need some rest. It"s okay for you will be awarded as the Cum Laude of our batch. You should be happy and proud of yourself." Pat told her.She was right, she is supposed to be happy after hearing that she is going to be their Cum Laude again. But right now, she feels so nauseous and everything. She woke up, vomiting and very thirsty."Right, I need to go to the doctor tomorrow. You want to come with
Today we have the good feel factor that comes from knowing that we have done our best. We have achieved and been qualified. We didn"t do it alone of course. All along the way we had the wonderful support of our families and the encouragement and help of our professors. It"s likely that some of us took this for granted as only our due. Today, though, as mature and newly qualified adults, we recognize that without that back-up we could not have succeeded. So today I know my fellow students would like to join me in saying how much we appreciate all those who have helped make this day possible.From now on we will be taking our talents and beliefs with us wherever we go. If we have learned anything, it is that we have to be adaptable, ready to take chances and go different routes. The day of a job for life is almost gone. These days we have to be ready to update our knowledge, add to our skills and be ready to cope with change.Happy graduation and Congratulation to all of
"Devi! Don't be stubborn." Dom shouted to her daughter.Yes, she has a daughter and she named her "Devika" but "Devi" for short. After she learned that she"s going to have a daughter, she is merely excited to see her. If she"s going to look like her nor her father. And what she expected was right, Devi literally looks like her but she looks more like her father which makes Dom to be so scared."Mommy, why do you always get nervous? You know how much I can take care of myself." cute Devi pouted.Dom just awed and pinches her daughter"s both cheeks."Aww, my baby is so cute. I want to pinch you all the time. Come here, let mom hug you." she said and smiled.Devi just chuckles and hugs her mother so tight. Devi is already five years old. There are many things that had happened to her. She admits it was not that easy to get pregnant while you"re alone. She passed many challenges and suffered too much but all of it were being healed after Devi was born.
Dom and Devi were happily packing their stuffs up. Devi couldn"t hide how happy she was, and how excited she is."Mom! Does my grandparents love me?" she asks her.What makes her to think that off, as her mom thinks about it."What? Of course, honey. Why do you ask that?" Dom asks her daughter.Devi just pouted and shrugs her shoulder. She's just worried that they're not going to love her as she was expecting."Nothing mommy, it"s just that my classmate Chloe keeps on telling me how her grandparents and her dad loves her so much. Mommy, where is my daddy?" Devi said and asked.Dom"s eyes widened; this is what she was been waiting all her life. This is the first time Devi asks for her father. She just clears her throat."Devi, can we not talk about this today? I mean, we are going to pack our things all the night." she said, trying her best to change the topic.She saw how Devi"s shoulder went down, she"s frowned and devastated.
"O-M-G! This is it! This is finally it is! My best friend, Dom is going to be here in a minute." Patricia squealed.Evan besides her gradually covers his ears with his hands. Evan and Mrs. Catherine Astrom are with her to wait for Dom."Patricia, can you lower down your voice? It hurts my eardrums!" Evan whine massaging his ears."Evan, you always whined. You always do that!" she sulks herself at the corner.Evan just sighs and shakes his head and follows Patricia. Catherine just chuckles seeing them together, getting an argument yet getting better later on."Aww, I just see myself and my husband at them." she groaned and tears a little.Dom and Devika just got out from the plane and getting their bags."Mommy, are they here already?" she asks Dom, referring to her best friend and her grandmother.Her father couldn"t be with them to fetch her off for he flew back to Singapore for business matters."Yes baby, they"re just
Catherine is so hurt seeing her daughter, crying and kneeling down in front of her. She admits that she was being betrayed by Dom, but she"s still her mother and she still needs to comforts her daughter. She manages herself to wipes her tears and touches Dom"s face."Dom, stand up please." she said.Dom was stunned, she raised her head to see her mother who is merely looking good smiling at her. She can see in her mother"s eyes that she"s not angry at her."Mom, do you forgive me?" she asks her mother.Her mother, Catherine took a deep sigh and nodded. Dom feels so happy about it. Dom has nothing to do but to be thankful and just hug her mother."Dom, how about me? Why don"t you ask me if I am angry at you. Why?" Patricia asks her.Evan just chuckles and messes with his girlfriend"s hair."Babe, you"re not her mother." he said to her.Catherine and Dom just chuckle with what he said to Pat. Pat glares at him and rolls her eyes
Dad? What do you mean?" she asked her father.She didn"t stop but to pry."What I mean? I mean, I know everything Dom. What do you expect? I am a father and I don"t want my only daughter to be far away from us. You might don"t know, I"ve hired a private guard for you to secure your safety but I didn"t know that you hide everything from us." her father, nonstop saying it.Catherine gasps and covers her mouth with her both hands."Honey? You knew this all along?" she asks her husband.Mr. Astrom fixed standing and took a deep sigh, he nodded. Dom was so shocked; she didn"t expect that her father knew it all along but chooses to kept it just for him. Dom tries to cover her daughter"s ears and Patricia and Evan decided to take Devi from them first, for they need to talk about it first."Devi, we"re just going to let them talk with mommy, okay? Let"s stay here for a while." Patricia caresses Devi"s flawless face.Devi just nodded; she unde
Dom just ignores the fact that they saw the father of her baby with someone she doesn't know."Mommy, is this the new dress you have designed?" Devi asks.Pat was very stunned. She was eyeing Dom with confusion on her face."Aww, looks like Devi here caught me." she chuckles.Pat pouted and scoffs. She couldn't believe that her favorite brand of clothes is owned by her best friend. She gave Dom a very scared look making Dom to laugh in pity."Why are you looking at me like that?" she asks her."Dom, is this true? you designed this one?" she asks her.Devi looks like she got what they are talking about."Uh-oh." she said covering her mouth.Dom widened her eyes to her daughter because of her, Pat already caught her. She was trying to deceive her best friend but because of her daughter's foolishness. Looks like she's been caught."I'm sorry." she said to Pat."Oh my gosh! You really got me. This is yours? Devi's. Gosh. Why didn't
Patricia couldn"t get what Dom wants her to process to her mind. Evan"s cousin?"Wait, don"t tell me it is Ash?!" she asks her with her voice so loud.Dom gasps and her eyes got bigger, hurriedly covers Pat"s mouth with her right palm. With her reaction, Pat already knew it was him."Oh, my fucking holy shit." Pat cursed.Dom sighs, and rolls her eyes. Yeah, it"s kind of not believing but it was Ash for real."Damn it, Dom! That's it! And from the moment a while back when we first divert our eyes towards Devi. Evan and I both knew who looks like her, and it was his cousin. Dom, what the heck? How did this happen? You never told me that you and Ash behind our backs are secretly dating?!" she freaked out, very surprise."Pat, don"t be too loud. Please, don"t let Evan hear us. We didn"t date before, okay? Remember the night of Evan"s party? You're the one who took me to that room. That room where Ash sleeps also." Dom tries to let Pat remember
