Haley loves to work as a Part-time Lecturer at Harvey College. She is sincere, dedicated and well-mannered when it comes to work. As Haley was good at her graduation, she implemented a good subject knowledge.
Haley handles 7 subjects for undergraduate and postgraduate students. Her working shift was from 9 a.m to 6 p.m. She stayed at the college hostel with her roomie Mary.
Mary and Haley were great buddies from the start. They had their dinner together, watched movies together and used to walk at night on the college campus. Haley and Mary belonged to the Roman Catholic religion.
Haley likes to visit the chapel located amidst the greeny college campus. Her way of lecturing was flawless as she breaks down hard concepts into simple notes. Students loved to listen to her lecturers and few visit her in the hostel beside the staff room.
In her free time, Haley learnt Microbiology and Forensic courses from the Australian Open University. She perceives above 75% in both the courses in a month.
Every evening Haley used to call her mom and talk for 10 minutes. When everything seemed fine and good something was gonna change the life of Haley. The elder sister of Haley decided to talk with her parents about Haley's alliance.
"The entry of Damon in Haley's world"...
Damon exhibits well-sculpted features, spiked hair with a gleam in his eyes. He works as an IT Sales Manager in Madel Company. Little was known about Damon to Haley's Family.
Haley is a sensitive, empathetic and warm girl. While Damon is an aggressive, manipulative and self-centred person. Damon and Haley belong to the Fernando community. So their parents decide to carry on with their alliance.
What might happen when both of their paths cross?
Damon meets Haley at St.Michael's Church as both the families decide to carry out their alliance.
When Haley meets Damon will she have a flutter of heart?
It was the first alliance for Haley to meet Damon, so she had an adrenaline rush with nervousness. But that wasn't in the case of Damon as he has been exposed to loads of alliances before meeting Haley.
Damon was the only son of the Dega family and Haley was the second daughter of the Parera family.
Jenna was the elder sister of Haley to initiate the wedding plans. It was the noon of December 16th, 2015, where Damon met Haley at the church.
The Parera family reaches 5 minutes earlier than the Dega family. Haley prays to God for the alliance intentions. Soon Damon's family arrives to see Haley and the Parera family.
Both of the families meet at the corridor of the church premises. The families form a circle as they face each other.
Conversations heat up within the family members. In the meantime, Haley has a glimpse of Damon. In a jiffy, he gives her a lovely smile. Haley looks at him and gives a short smile.
Unknowingly, A rose falls down the ground from Rosalie. She was Damon's mom having a gentle lady look. As the flowers fell from her hands, she said. I had dropped the flower twice. Was it a symbolic sign of saying no?....
Will Rosalie like Haley?...
Are the crossed paths of Haley and Damon bring them closer to each other?
The next day Haley's mom woke her up at 7 a.m and said the Dega family accepted the alliance. Hearing this Haley has a mixed feeling, on one side she felt happier and accepted on the other side she had nervousness within her.
Since Haley was brought up with a good culture, she was fine with her dad's choice. And she eventually ended up saying yes to the alliance.
Haley was enjoying her phase of life, right from going for a family outing to pampering herself with the self-care beauty regime. On a Sunday morning, Haley was travelling on a bike with her dad to visit the nearby church.
Haley's POV
I would love to live on this earth with the sunshine soaking into every inch of my skin.
Every cell of my body is nourished with Vitamin D. The morning breeze lashes my face with a gentle kiss on my cheek.
My hair tranquilizes in the air with every strand falling upon my smooth face.
Nature has indeed provided beautiful scenery to sway our feet on Earth…!!
Haley reaches Mother Mary's Church in San Diego...
Haley steps down from her dad's bike, as she carries her floor touch Silver embellished dress with crystals and pearls. To match the gown, she wears a silver pump.
Her dress has a fine net knitted with flower embroideries adorned with embellishments. She pairs her earring with rose gold and diamond hook drop hanging jewellery.
Gentle air breezes as she enters the church arousing a pleasant fragrance of Calvin Klein perfume. San Diego church entry shows the statues of Mother Mary and Jesus on the cross.
Haley gently unstraps her pump and makes her way towards the hall room of the church.
The mass begins with friars commemorating Our Father Who Art In Heaven... Haley religiously attends the mass and receives the blessings of Jesus on the Sabbath Day.
Haley feels light-hearted and the peace within herself. She returns to Joe villa with her dad. After refreshing herself, her mom serves her a cardamom tea.

So Haley opens her Netflix account on HP laptop to watch the movie. Haley and Leena occupy their adjacent seats on a soft couch to watch the thrilling movie.
The movie portrays a story of a handicapped billionaire accompanied by a helper.

This incident brings the billionaire and his helper closer. The storyline was filled with inspiration and positive thoughts as the phrase comes true,
When life gives you lemons, make a lemonade...
Haley's POV ~
I was thrilled and fascinated to watch an inspiring movie after a long time.
I learnt a lesson from this movie that whatever life may take up to, even when your world turns upside down... make room for happiness in every single step you take in your life.
Never have regrets in your life and never live in the past. Be in the present moment and go with the flow...
