2020-11-17 01:15:13"Rhianne, can you hear me? Rhianne!"
Rhianne felt like there was a fire burning in her chest. She forced herself to take a deep breathe a few times that made her cough dry, which result in her feeling pain in her throat. Not to mention that her head was also hurting so much. When she heard that someone was calling her name in a panicky voice, she forced herself to open her eyes. But Rhianne's body was not cooperating with her so she closed her eyes again and motionlessly laid her body flat on the floor.
Rhianne tried to recall the things that happened in the accident. When the bus suddenly crashed with the truck, her body was squeezed and her head hardly hit on the pole. At that moment, Rhianne knew that she will die. But maybe luck was on her side this time since she can still feel herself breathing even though it's kinda hard for now.
"Quick! Francis, help me to carry her in the car! The ambulance is taking so long. We will bring her to the hospital!"
Rhianne heard a lot of footsteps near her. There was also the voice of a woman who gave an order to her surroundings. She struggled to open her eyes to see the face of the people beside her. Rhianne saw a middle-aged woman and a teenage boy beside her.
'Ah. Maybe they are part of the rescue team.'
"Rhianne, don't close your eyes! You should be awake until we reach the hospital." The teenage boy said to her.
Then Rhianne felt that someone was gently lifting her body. She wanted to struggle since it's a little uncomfortable, but she feels like her energy was fully drained. In the end, Rhianne let the teenage boy carry her.
Rhianne tried to keep her consciousness alert even though she already forgot half of the things that were happening in her surroundings. All she can remember was that the teenage boy carried her body and it seems like they ride in a car. Then after a few minutes, they get out of the car and heard several people asking about her current condition. The last thing Rhianne can remember was that the teenage boy carefully placed her on a bed and a doctor and several nurses get near to her.

The room's walls are all white. There's an open window in it with a simple but elegant blue curtain. There's also a carpet on the floor that looks like a fluffy cloud. Two big sofas were placed inside the room and there's a small coffee table at the center of it. When she turned her head to her right, there's a table with a vase full of fresh flowers beside her bed.
'This doesn't look like a room in a normal hospital.'
Rhianne tried to sit up but stopped when she noticed something. An IV drip was attached to her right arm. Rhianne carefully moved her left arm to support her body to sit up when the door suddenly opened.
Seeing that her sister is finally awake, Francis stands at the door in a daze for a while before running out to call her doctor. Rhianne was confused to see the familiar teenage boy who just opened the door and ran quickly to disappear. After a while, the teenage boy entered the room again with a doctor behind him.
The doctor checks up on her condition. He also asked some questions to Rhianne which she answered quietly. After the doctor checked on her, he talked to the teenage boy before leaving the room.
"I am so glad that you are fine. I told you not to swim in the deepest part of the pool! Look at what happened to you! Rhianne, you almost died! The next time you will do that again, I will really hit you." The teenage boy said as he scolded Rhianne in a harsh voice.
Rhianne, on the other hand, can't understand what this teenage boy was talking about.
'What pool? What is he talking about? I was in a bus accident that almost took my life earlier.' She thought. But there's an important question that Rhianne really wanted to ask.
"Excuse me, but... who are you?"
A huge silence suddenly filled the room.

At her question, Francis stiffly stare at his sister. He was trying to find anything from Rhianne's expression. The two of them are very close so it was natural for Rhianne to prank her older brother sometimes. But seeing Rhianne's confused expression, he knew that she was being serious. Panicking, Francis ran outside to call her doctor again. When he came back, Rhianne saw the teenage boy has a nervous expression. The doctor he brought asked Rhianne some questions again. The doctor asked questions like if she knows her name, age, her relatives, and the details of her accident. This makes her really confused. 'Why has the doctor asked me this question? And why did the teenage boy looking at me with that anxious expression?' Rhianne tried to think if she met this teenage boy before. As far as she can remember, the first time she met him was when he saved her with the middle-aged woman from the accident. Because

Rhianne remained seated on her bed while Francis was silently watching her. He also put a considerable distance between them thinking that he might scare her. When the door opened again, two unfamiliar people entered her room. Rhianne's body flinched and unconsciously became alert again. The middle aged-woman suddenly burst into tears witnessing how the girl became alert the moment they saw them while the stern-looking man on her side tried to comfort her. The woman was calling her sweet endearments suited for little girls, but Rhianne intentionally ignored it. They also tried to explain to Rhianne that they were her parents, hoping to see any reactions from her. Rhianne remained silent, giving them a look full of wariness. This makes the woman, or rather her 'mother' cried. After that, Rhianne did not talk again. Even when her 'family' tried to talk to her, she did not give them a response. When Dr. Calvin asked her if remembered anythi

The scene where Rhianne was crying while crouching on the floor was what Francis saw when he opened the door. He panicked a little while yelling loudly to call their parents into her room. Seeing her dear daughter in that state, Carmie quickly hugged Rhianne trying to calm her down. Rhianne did not know who held her body, but she wrapped her slender arms on that person as she cried louder than before. It took them a whole hour before they managed to calmed down the youngest member of their family. Her eyes were a bit red and swollen while some of her tears were still hanging on her eyelashes. Her cheeks were also swollen and her lips were slightly trembling. Francis intuitively brought a glass of water to his sister. Carmie reached for the glass and helped Rhianne to took small sips of water in the glass. After a few more minutes, Rhianne finally settled her emotions and stopped crying. Rhianne lowered her head, trying to hide her messy

Carmie never left Rhianne's side as they started eating their breakfast that morning. She always asked Rhianne what food she wanted to eat and Carmie will personally put it on her plate. Even if she was not used to it, Rhianne just let her mother do whatever she pleased. Rhianne had already forgotten how it feels like to have a mother. To see her new mother being caring and attentive towards her feels weird. "Do you still want another pancake? You can also try this waffle. You like eating these waffles with chocolate cream and sliced strawberry-" Carmie stopped herself from speaking and quickly looked at Rhianne's expression. "Sorry. I just got carried away." "No. It is okay." Rhianne said. "Uhm...Can I say something?" "Of course, dear. What is it?" Carmie softly said. Rhianne took a deep breath first before looking at the three people sitting with her at the dining table. "As you all

'The hell is going on here?!'The boy named Andrew looked at Rhianne with a small smile on his face. Andrew bowed his head a little to greet them, but Rhianne did not bother to think about his actions. Rhianne felt like she will think that Andrew is a sensible and a good boy if she did not know his real color.'You mean this is 'that' Andrew who will be the cause of Rhianne's misfortunes?!'Is this the scenario where Rhianne fell in love with Andrew at first sight?! The book mentioned that they were childhood friends, but the book did not give more details about it. It turns out they became childhood friends because he is the son of her mother's friend.Rhianne unconsciously hid her body behind his brother and clutched his shirt so tight. Francis and Carmie glanced at each other before Francis held Rhianne's hand to reassure her. They thought that Rhianne was acting like this because she

"So you finally arrived." The siblings both turned their heads and saw a tall man standing near the gate. "Dr. Calvin?" "He is the friend I am telling you earlier." Francis explained. Rhianne alternately looked at her brother and Dr. Calvin. This made Calvin laughed. It was obvious on Rhianne's face what she was thinking right now. That girl is too expressive. Calvin did not know if it is a good thing or not. He took the initiative to explain the situation to Rhianne. "Francis and I came from the same school. I am his senior and we also joined the same club last year that is why we got acquainted." Calvin said. "And I am just turning twenty-three this year. I am not that old." "I did not..." Rhianne unconsciously blushed when she heard what Calvin said in the end. It was not really her intention to think that Calvin is very old. She was just simply wondering how her brother and her personal doctor became frien

"Let go of me!""Why are you here?"The two of them asked each other at the same time. The boy pursed his lips and slowly let go of Rhianne's wrist. Rhianne quickly took a step backward to put a distance between her and the boy. When he saw Rhianne's panicked expression, the boy's face darkened."Why are you here?" The boy asked Rhianne again. "Who told you to visit our house again?"Did she already visit their house before? There was a possibility since Francis is a good friend of Dr. Calvin. And besides, she will never know if Rhianne Cartel had been here before since she just recently occupied this body.But this boy just gave her a heart attack! Who told him to show up without making a sound in front of her? At least give her a warning if you will approach her.When the boy saw Rhianne's alarmed posture, he thought that she was only acting as if she does not want to be

When Donna woke up, the things she saw in her dreams were still vivid in her head. Donna can remember even the smallest details from that dream. It was as if she experienced it herself. But of course, that would be impossible since Donna was only fifteen when she saw all of it.But her dreams led her to believe that all of them were true. It is because of Rhianne Cartel and Keith Lancester. Aside from the fact that she saw both of them in her dreams, Donna had also met them in her previous school. Although they act differently in reality, Donna knows they are still the same people in her dreams.But she frowned after remembering that this man named Andrew Gartin was not staying close to Rhianne Cartel. When she was still her classmate, Donna heard from the class that Andrew Gartin transferred to a school abroad. It was said he will be staying there until he graduates. That information alone made her feel more suspicious if her dreams are indeed prophetic or not. Donna remembered that

It is already dark and the lamps around the park are now giving light to their surroundings. The people who visited this place are starting to leave one by one. Still, there is a certain person who hasn't left the park yet. Donna remains in the same spot where Andrew left her earlier. Her eyes are unfocused and she looks lost right now. Donna ignores the soreness she feels on her legs and waist as her mind tries to replay the conversation she had with Andrew earlier.'Enough! Stop speaking nonsense to me!''I suggest that you should wake up now.''This is the reality.'Donna closes her eyes tightly and thinks about where did it go wrong. Or rather, when did it start? This is not what is supposed to happen. These things did not appear in her dreams.Yes, dreams. It may sound silly to others, but Donna completely believes in the things she saw in her dreams. Donna truly believes she can see the near future in her dreams. It is because of the people she met in it as well as the possible
Twisting Destiny CHAPTER 72
Soon, Donna brings Andrew to a quiet place away from the park where the others are gathering. Andrew feels confused and skeptical about this woman but he did not yet voice out his thoughts. He decided to wait for what does she needs from him. Soon, Donna turns around and gives him a smile."I think this distance is enough for us to talk. No one can hear us from here." Andrew heard her say."Huh?"In an instant, Donna's expression changed. Although she is still smiling, but it is no longer polite and kind. Instead, she is looking at him with a confident smile on her lips."So Andrew, what were you planning to do now?" Donna asked."...What?" Andrew asked her late."Oh, please. Stop pretending, Andrew. I know that you can also remember everything.""..."Andrew gives Donna a weird look. Keith had already warned him about the woman yesterday. Keith told him that Donna looks suspicious and he doesn't want her approaching Rhianne a lot. He also shared with him the story of how Donna tried

Catherine, you know how much I love you.""But it's not enough!""...What?""It's not enough, Karl. Love is never enough in this world. You should know that.""Catherine, I can't understand. Why—""Is love enough to feed us in the future? Is it enough to make this world move on its axis? Is love enough to make all things better? Is it the only thing we need?!"Karl tries to open his mouth to speak but he doesn't know what to say. "You can't say anything, right? It's because you know that I have a point.""Catherine, I will—""Enough with your promises, Karl! I'm so tired of it." He looks at the woman in front of him. Karl wants to touch and hug her. He wants to tell Catherine that everything is gonna be alright. But he also knows that it is something that she didn't want right now. "Karl, you know that I love you so much. You should know how much I truly care for you.

"Andrew, you really surprised me! I did not expect that you would be back today.""That is my intention. And besides, I already told you that I'm going to have a vacation here in our city for a few weeks, right?""You should have told us your schedule so Keith and I can fetch you at the airport.""You are missing the point here, Rhianne. If I told you my flight schedule, then my surprise would be a total failure.""Hmm, alright. You win now.""That's more like it, Little Auntie Rhianne.""Hey!"Rhianne is really happy to see Andrew again. It has been a long time since they saw each other like this. Although they always communicate through video calls, emails, and voice calls, nothing can still beat seeing your friend up close like this. To her happiness, Rhianne can't help but give Andrew another hug."I really miss you, Andrew!" Rhianne said with a smile."Well, this is nice. I feel so welcome now." Andrew joked as he returned her hug. "And yes. I miss you too, Rhianne."After their

"Is it really okay?" "Hmm... I think so." "But what if that woman tries to sabotage your project?" "Then Donna is also sabotaging her own grades. We're groupmates, after all." "What if she put all of the blame on you? You are the group leader of your group, right?""I think she's not that bad. And besides, we have our own things to do for our project to become successful." Candice just looks at her friend who looks so carefree right now while eating her pizza. They are spending their time break together in the cafeteria. Keith will not be joining them today because he has a long examination today in one of his major subjects. While Candice is busy cleaning the tupperware where her mother put the food she brought for Rhianne, she mentioned that her class will be having a group project and it will be submitted by next week. Their group project can be called as easy to make. Their class was divided into five groups.

"Rhianne!" Turning around, Rhianne sees Keith rushing towards her. When he finally reached her, Keith suddenly put his hands on her shoulders and starts looking at her from head to toe. He even moves her body from side to side as if looking for something. Soon, Keith let out a relieved sigh before looking at Rhianne who has a confused look on her face."What is it?" Rhianne asked. "Did something happen?""Rhianne, are you alright?" Keith asked instead of answering her question."Yes. Why? Do I look like sick to you?" Instead of answering, Keith just let out another relieved sigh before he tries controlling his breathing. "Are you done tossing and spinning Rhianne like a life-sized doll?"Both Rhianne and Keith look at Candice who is standing beside them with crossed arms. Candice shakes her head before gently pulling Rhianne towards her. She is now thinking that it was wrong of her to send a text message
