It is the Third Year for the Mitchell siblings in varsity and this year comes with a great surprise to them. The students were back in campus and soon after the program commence, lectures started and the curriculum was followed down to the ladder. This year we find our Hunk-in-Silence Simone getting in touch with his emotions...
Boy Wonder (Hunk-in-Silence) those were tease names for Simone portraying his personality. He was playing his guitar when Herny rushes in his flat. Herny teased "my friend, who is the Juliet you dwelling on?" Simone smiled and said "not dwelling just recalling", he shoves his mom's picture on Herny. Herny pats his friend on a shoulder and they took to the gym as planned.
Simone was not well with thoughts but why, well let's look back at his history of life. When Simone's mother died, he was five and he never knew his father. When Simone was six staying at the orphanage, his mother's will was read and it had a letter "My son, I got robbed and raped one day on my way back from work. I know I had to tell you somehow
but I could not because I was afraid to ruin your childhood and your father died without knowing us. I am HIV-positive and soon to be AIDS, when I die, I place you in the custody of Michael Mitchell, my employer, our benefactor and your family. Treat him as your father and a parent you never had and always remember to pray. Jehovah, Mom and your Father loves you and so will Michael, we will see each other soon in paradise"
Simone was still young being read this, he did not understand but as he grew up he finally understood his mother's words and the underlying clue of his birth. He never told a soul about the letter, not even Michael. When he started playing guitar he will always qoute 'remember to pray' and tears will drop down but why was he suddenly keen on feelings?
The boys [Herny and Simone] got to the gym and met Tom, they later went for basketball but Simone was not fully there, Herny and Tom were worried about him and silent as he was, he said everything is OK. After the game, the boys hit the showers, Tom called Zoete.
Zoete felt unease as Tom never calls her unless something was urgent. Tom told her, "your brother needs you" and she replied "she will see to it". Ones acceptance on love matters differs from one's acceptance on losing a loved one. Zoete knew that we'll but to her brother it was slowly affecting his studies.
In the lecture, the lecturer wanted an assignment on Business Management and Simone had not done it which was the first but as Zoete received Tom's call yesterday. She feared this would happen and she wrote for him, she gave the lecturer claimed he left it in the library when they were discussing. After lectures Simone thanked her and she asked him to accompany her somewhere.
Simone inquire as to where, she replied its a surprise but left her brother perplexed by asking "do you love her?" Simone shocked as on how she picked it up but remained mute. Zoete took Simone to an art gallery, they entered a room with blank canvases and paint. Zoete told her brother to paint his thoughts but he refused.
Zoete teased "guess you not game". Simone laughed, they sat down and Zoete told him that loving another won't be meaning he is replacing the heart. He sighed not keen to talk. Zoete started painting and keep looking at Simone.
"one day I was walking to the park, I saw her looking at the birds, for the first time I glanced at her with difference. I walked towards her and greeting her, she was touched I knew her name and greeting her that is" replied Simone, Zoete smiled.
Simone gave a look and continued, "I told her, beautiful are the birds she's watching, she frowned and I teased back but not as much as you. She smiled and I asked her for a walk and at the time I was backpacking my guitar, she asked if I played well, I then asked for her favourite song and to my surprise she gave me a kingdom hymn"
"we sat down and I played it to her and she went teary, she thanked me and apologise for the emotion outburst, she said this song reminds her of her grandma, surprisingly I told her it reminds me of my mom and that I will see her again. She did not know about mom, she felt sad, we got talking and she was not like herself, all bubbly and mean, she was a polite, humble person"... Simone paused and was amazed by the rose Zoete was drawing.
Zoete asked of what happen next, "well she went away and arriving here on campus I never talked to her" said Simone. Zoete said to her brother "you miss her or not". Simone became reluctant to answer, his sister assured him that what he feels for Ashley could be real but he will never know if he keeps ignoring it.
Taken aback, Simone asked of how she knew it was Ashley, his sister replied because Ashley has been sweet now ever since holidays last year and her friendship with Kristen has got Samantha mad with fury and now that going to be a boom on her that you feeling something for the girl.
Simone was surprised at the news, he asked his sister "why is it so hard to accept the unspeakable" Zoete was confused but Simone was asking of Herny and then they were on bet, that she will be honest to Herny if Simone speak to Ashley about his true feelings.
How will the news of Simone's love reach the family? And what was Zoete on about being honest? Is Ashley a right girl for Boy Wonder? Will love finally prevail for Zoete and Herny?
