"BECCA!""Five more minutes, mom." She's been calling me about ten times. I'm not done packing all my things yet.I'm moving out today because college is quivering. I was given a scholarship from a prestigious university in town. Well, I kinda didn't expect that I got one. But mom said that I deserved it. Moreover, I graduated in senior high with some flying colors.The school has dormitories for students just like what I saw in movies. Well, it's a school for elite people, after all.I was wonder-struck when the door opened. "Mom!... don't you know how to knock? Geez, you scared me to death."I place the last batch of my pajamas inside my traveling bag."Oh, sorry 'bout that. Well, as you can see," she pointed her wristwatch, "time is running, you shouldn't be late on your first day inside Chanter University," she said."I'm not that intrigued at all. Because I hundred pretty sure that I'll be missing you all, guys." I said and zipped my bag. Done."Oh, don't mind us, we'll be alright. Just enjoy your college days, sweety.""Wow, easy for you to say, mom. Homesick isn't easy."My mother moved near me. She grabbed my hand and squeeze it gently. "You're a brave and tough lady. I know you'll get used to it. Besides, Reina is with you.""But Reina and I, haven't the same course. We have different schedules.""C'mon, sweety. You're not a kid anymore. Don't be too dramatic. I hate it," my mom said.I chuckled. "But honestly, I will miss you mom, your dishes preferably.""Funny young lady." She pinched my cheeks."Mom…" I moved my face away from her. I massage my cheeks. Damn, it hurts."Oh, how I loved your fluffy cheeks," she said. "But I imply, you should lessen some fats, sweety. Too much belly fats were too pretty annoying by some handsome jerks."Yeah, I got fluffy cheeks because I'm a chubby pretty girl and it's because of her and her homemade dishes. "Like duh, mom, I'm not entering college for me to have a boyfriend.""Seriously? You haven't introduced one since then, I think this time was the perfect one," she said and sneered."What? Aren't it's supposed to be academic first before boys?"Why should I get a boyfriend if I haven't graduated college yet?Mom stood up. "I'm just assessing you, sweety. Of course, it should be school first before boys but if ever, I'm allowing you already to have one. As long as, you'll make it as your motivation and set some limits. You're not getting younger, anyway. So, you have to try.""Mom, I don't have plans. If I wished to have one, I should have done it earlier. I have so many dreams and having a boyfriend isn't one of them."My mother laughed. "You sure you don't like to have or experience having a boyfriend?"I rolled my eyes. "No. Not this time." I tugged my traveling bag. "Let's go."Mom's still laughing until we're on downstairs and dad was busy reading some newspaper on the sofa. "Rudolf, kindly give some pieces of advice to our daughter about having an incredible boyfriend as how you got me way back then," mom said and sat beside dad."Mom…" I warned.She's still laughing. "I told you, I don't have plans yet. What if I got pregnant and didn't finish college?""Oh, you and your silly thoughts, sweety. You will not get pregnant not unless you give your v-card. Having a boyfriend doesn't mean you must get pregnant. It's just that, it can inspire you," mom said."Inspiration? Or distraction? Stop this boyfriend thingy mom. I'm not going to have one not until I graduated or have a great job, perhaps.""Girls, girls, girls, stop it," dad said. "Loida, don't force our baby—"I interrupt him. "Excuse me, Dad. I'm not a baby anymore.""Oh, my bad. Sorry 'bout that. Hon, don't force our lady," he emphasizes the word lady, "to have a boyfriend. She must focus on her studies—""Precisely. That's what I'm saying, dad," I cut in."Alright, alright. I surrender. Just study well but don't study hard, sweety, okay?" mom said in defeat. Laugh my ass out.I nodded."You ready?" dad asked."Yes."He put down the newspaper above the table. "So, shall we?" he said as he stood up.I smiled and nodded.

Unexpected Fate Chapter 2: Chanter University
| Chanter University | MOM AND DAD decided to drop me off at Chanter University. Two days from now, it will already be the first day of the first semester. I hope I'll get along with my co-students. I didn't take the college entrance exam because I was immediately selected by the administrator as part of their scholarship program. Mom and Dad don't have a high source of income, and that scholarship was a big help for us, financially. We just have a simple life. Planting some grains and crops, pasturing cows and goats. We're a typical below-average family in our village. Getting into college wasn't an easy one, particularly it needs lots of savings and money to start with. That scholarship was not enough for me to get a living during my college times. I had to apply for a job to sustain and have a better living. Possibly, I should apply as a waitress at a fine dining restaurant near the school. As much as possible, I don't want to

| Ruthless Jerk | "OH, thank God, you're awake," Reina vented out. She's squatting on the floor near my bed. I bet, she's been gawking at me 'til I waked. She knows that I hate being hindered when I'm in a deep sleep. Because I slap or tread whoever the person who tries to wake me up, even if she's my mom or dad. I don't know, but it seems like it's a mannerism. I gently rubbed my eyes and pulled the pillow below my knee. Hmm... I still want to sleep. "Hey," Reina called out and snatched my pillow offhand. "Don't you dare?" She frowned at me.I smiled. "Five more minutes... please." "No. You've been sleeping for five hours and I didn't have my lunch because I've been waiting for you, and it's already afternoon." I lifted my left wrist right in front of my eyes. My watch says it's four o'clock. My eyes widened. "Why didn't you wake me up?" I got up. Ugh! I still feel so dazed and vague to stand up.

Reina asked, seems angry. "Can't he see people were about to cross?" I arched my eyebrow. "How do you know that it was a he?" I asked. "I saw the driver, of course. You almost got hit. What if that car hit you? You might be dead by now," she said. She put her right hand in her waist and bite her thumb because of frustration. I put my hand above my chest, clutching my dress, acting like I'm hurting. "Ouch, dead? I'm a cat you know, I got nine lives," I joke. "Your joke was so funny. Tell me if you want to be dead. I'll be the one to kill you. I almost got a heart attack and you have time to drop a joke up? Geez," she said and walked fast, leaving me behind. She's angry. Really. I chuc

| Part-time Job | THE NEXT morning, I woke up early. Reina went out to grab our breakfast, and I stayed because I was busy typing and filling up my biodata. I've decided to find a part-time job before the school year starts. When I'm done, the next I did was fix myself. Doing my daily routine—bathing, changing clothes, caressing my face with a powder, and apply a lip tint on my lips. I put the paper inside the brown envelope. I will try to pass this in the restaurant we've been to yesterday. I bet they're hiring because I only saw three employees working—one cashier and two waitresses. I'll just try my luck, who knows? I'm about to close my bag when Reina opened the door, holding the plastic in her left hand and two plastic cups in the other one. "There are so many students in the cafeteria, it's just seven in the morning," she mumbled and placed the plastic and cups above the coffee table. "Is

| First Day | COLLEGE IS way too different from high school. College is not high school. Professor will foresee you to be more independent, adventurous, and responsible than your high school teachers presumed. I grew in a family where positive thoughts always overcome negativity and have all the enthusiasm that I needed to face a new reality. I always believe to myself that nothing is difficult when you put your heart into it. But who wouldn’t feel jitters when you’re on your first time? No one. No matter how optimistic you are, you will still feel nervous—like your palms sweat, fast heartbeat, and more so. But it’s all-natural. I and Reina don’t have the same schedule as we differ in courses. But still, we reside on the same roof. I have a part-time job while Reina doesn’t. My classes start at eight, ending at three, while Reina starts at ten, and ends at five. “You’re an hour early, Becca,” Reina said as

| The Encounter | TIME PASSED by without you even knowing it. The more you ignore the time, the faster it ticks. First day in College gone better as I expected. No hassle at all. I even meet new girlfriends which share the same interests as mine—Nena, a black American girl who loves coffee and books, Trix, a foodie blonde girl, and Evette, the fashionista. Though I was a bit left behind by being a sassy lady like Evette, still we share the same interests when it comes to putting light retouches on our faces. The day ends gracefully that I didn't even notice that my shift at the café was done. While talking to Kara my phone beeps, and Reina's name was evident on the screen.“I get going,” shifting away from Kara, pulled the door, I answered the call. “I'm on my way home,” not bothering what Reina wants to say, I talked first. “Okay. I get you dinner. Vegetable salads and burger steak, is it okay with you?”
Last Updated : 2021-06-13Unexpected Fate Chapter 8: Strange Feeling
| Strange Feeling | COLLEGE IS hard, particularly when you don’t belong in the world of a wealthy family. You can’t convey to their discussions. Like, they talk about the enormous dishes they ate in a fancy restaurant, their trips abroad, models and celebrities whom they met, and more so. Those topics that you can only see on television. Tackling about it, you seem like a display around that is meaningless. I hope Reina and I are just on the same course. With her, your day wouldn’t boring, because she will educate you with all the things she knew like you just want to stay away if you can’t hold how intensifying the topic. But of course, being with Reina always makes my day. I got used to it. Not until this moment—entering College. I sighed and rested my chin on top of my palm. Eyes on the clean, glossy whiteboard that I can almost see my mood—plain and boring. Fortunately, there seems to be no complacency here. Though

| Linus | DAYS, COME and go, but this feeling within me, keeps ongoing and growing. I just want to ignore this. I want to consider this as a normal feeling, but I know that it’s not. How can this feeling stop, when I always see his deep and mysterious eyes? I know it’s crazy but I’m just being honest to myself, that I never felt this before. Come on, Becca, you’re just getting curious, I mumbled to myself. “Before we have our first test on this subject, I want you to work on a reaction paper about the Sonnets of Shakespeare,” said, Mrs. Ether. I’m not into poetry, but I know Shakespeare. “And it will be by partner,” she added. Nena, beside me, poked and smiled at me, “hope we’ll gonna be partners,” she said. I’m about to reply when our prof says my name. “Rebecca and Linus.” “Linus?” I know this sounds ridiculous, but I don’t know the names of my clas

And she did say that all I must relax.I hope that was easy. I never thought that we will be brought into this situation. It is so hard to love. All I ever thought is that we’re fine having a relationship privately, I thought I will never experience this kind of thing like I usually watched in movies, but behind everything, I remain tough, and I knew that when you love, you sacrifice. You will take any risk and you will do anything when it comes to love. You will do everything to make your relationship last.I roamed around the place. In every hallway, there were guards wearing black suits. All I have ever known, royal guards should wear like those red and black pants like Queen Elizabeth royal guards in England. But I was wrong. As years passed by, things are getting in trend. They dress a

Ms. Dory did a huge favor to me, and I don’t know how to repay her. She’s so kind and I’m thinking why doesn’t she settle down? She deserves everything and it seems like—I don’t know but I can sense that there’s a sadness reigning in her. Like how she looked at you, you can see through the depths of her eyes that she may have a painful past or something.I want to ask her about it, but I feel ashamed. Like what a thick-face I am. And I don’t want to cross the line. We’re not close for me
Unexpected Fate Chapter 32: The Plan
“HAVE you decided?” Reina asked as she sat down beside me and put down the tray on the table. I glanced at her lazily and turned back to the book I’m holding, keeping flipping the pages but I’m not reading it. I heaved a deep sigh and closed to book.“I don’t know. And even if I want to, I have no money. Plane tickets were so expensive, and I can’t afford it.”Reina laughed at me as she sipped in her fruit drink. “Geez, I told you, I’m willing to help. And we’re going to find cheap plane tickets. There are some airlines who offered cheap ones.”I shook my head. “Even if I go there, how can I find him?”Reina tapped the table. “What the… are you nuts? What happened to the genius Becca I used to know? Look,” she lifts my chin up, “Linus is a prince. And where do prince live?” she asked.“Palace.”

My tears won’t stop flowing to my cheeks as I remember him, leaving me without a word. He never bothers to call or send messages to me.Reina was already asleep. While me… I just can’t. I’ve been crying for hours, and my body seems to be dehydrated. I look at the bottle of water, Reina just gave before she climbs to her bed. Why does he need to go without saying anything to me? I know I should trust him, but can’t I deserve an explanation?I can feel that something was bothering him but as he told me to trust him, I never asked him about it. those me in black, those black c

I hope you have already overcome the second stage of your relationship.”I looked at Reina and glare at her. “What?” she said to me as she shrugged her shoulders.“Can you just shut up if you’re just going to ask inappropriate things?”Linus chuckled which makes me turned in his direction. I raised my left brow and crossed my arms.He hemmed. “Seatbelt please…” he said.“You know what Becca, don’t act innocent okay? I know you already kissed.”Oh my God, if I’m drinking or eating someth

| His Words |THE FOLLOWING days, things went well between Linus and me. I can say that he was very helpful and doesn’t have any complaints about the work on the farm. He doesn’t care even if he’s already dirty. And he helped my father a lot. He worked hard to get cow’s milk. Feed the chickens and take eggs on the poultry. I once asked him if he was already struggling with it because the activities of elite people are way different from poor people like us.In just a few days, our one-week break will end and we will be back to studying again. More activities and lessons again. My part-time job at the café will be resumed. And I’m going to miss my parents again, but that’s really how life is, you have to sacrifice for the sake of your dreams and your family. If you won’t study, you will not reach your goals.I heaved a deep sigh when I remember the scene the other day, at the top

But things happen unexpectedly. At first, I don’t want to, but this bizarre feeling seems to grow. And I don’t have control—Ah, I can control it, but mom, I can’t resist it,” I said. I sat down on the chair and heaved a deep sigh.“That’s what I’m talking about since then, and I’m not against it, sweetie. I’m happy that you’re experiencing it, yet I want you to set limits, okay?”I smiled and helped her to fix the table. “Yes, mom, and thank you.”“Anyway, sweetie, Linus seems nice and a responsible man.

The village has this breathtaking scenery that can captivate everyone.I look at Linus, my eyes lasted a minute on his side. He seems relaxed while driving with just one hand gripping the steering wheel. He always wears his elite aura—those people who were born with a silver spoon.Could Linus like to live on a farm? Does he know how to milk cows? Feed chickens and gather their eggs? Does he like the smell of a muddy land?Of all people that surround me every day, why did I fall in love with him?I looked outside the window and heaved a deep sigh.Things changed the moment I fell for him. typically, being in love means I want to spend much time w

I gently tapped Reina’s face so she will wake up, good thing, she did.“Hmm… what time is it?” she asked me.I walked towards my closet to get some clothes. Just a few. Besides, I got lots of them at home.“Seven.”“What time we will go home?”“After lunch,” I replied.“Did you call your dad to pick us up?” she asked as she stretches her arms and yawned.“Nope. We will surprise them,” I answered and sat down at the wooden chair as I sipped on my coffee. “Come, let’s eat,” I said.“Whoa! I guess you woke up early, huh. Excited to go home?” She stood up and walk in my direction. She yawned again as she gets her cup of coffee.“Sort of,” I replied. I will not tell her yet that Linus
