Later that day, Valeria received a mail from University of Chicago with the words 'The university's admission list is out for students that applied, download the file below to check your name. Note: receiving this mail doesn't guarantee an admission as this mail was sent to every student that applied'. Valeria's chest went up and down after reading the last sentence, she's a scholarship student but what if the university doesn't see her worthy of the scholarship. She downloaded the file but did not open it because of fear and anxiety. Her mother made dinner for everyone and still didn't see Valeria in sight to help or disturb her about cooking her favourite for dinner. After cooking dinner, Geraldine went to her daughter's room to find out what was wrong. She knock on the door and entered after a response from Valeria.
"Why haven't you come out from your room since morning?" Geraldine asked worriedly.
"Nothing Mother, I feel tired" Valeria replied
"You are lying again to my face" Geraldine said emotionally blackmailing her
"I received a mail from the university of Chicago today and I've been so scared of what it says" Valeria said sadly
"Let me see the mail" Geraldine said and Valeria give her the phone. She read the mail and open the downloaded document, the university made it easier with the search bar, she search for her daughter's name.
"Why are you scared?" Geraldine asked looking at the worried girl
"What if I'm not worthy of the scholarship and they decide to reject me?" Valeria said panicking
"What if your name is on the admission list?" Geraldine said smiling and Valeria looked at her with puzzled expression
"Yes dear, your name is on the admission list" Geraldine announced with happiness and Valeria jump up for joy
"I did it! I'm officially a university girl" Valeria rejoiced dancing
"Congratulations sweetheart" Geraldine said hugging her daughter happily. Valeria couldn't wait to tell her father the news, she called him up immediately.
"Guess what father?" Valeria said smiling
"You made the admission list" Her father said guessing correctly
"Yes father" Valeria said happily
"Congratulations my dearest" Mark greeted his daughter with joy while Geraldine look at the father and daughter duo.
"I'm so happy father, today is the best day of my life" Valeria said happily.
"Same here sweetheart" Mark replied rejoicing with his daughter
"I thought the day you met me was the best" Geraldine said teasingly and they all laugh. Valeria end the call with her father and follow her mum to the kitchen to set the food on the dinning table when her brothers entered at once. James is a company delivery man, Albert is working at a fashion school as a receptionist, Benedict works as a sales man in a store down Skokie and Francis goes to a football academy since school is on holiday so they all come back during or before dinner. They freshen up and come for dinner.
"I have a good news" Geraldine said to her children
"Really?" James asked happily and Geraldine nod
"I made the admission list" Valeria said happily and her brothers clap for her
"Congratulations Sis" They chorused
"Thank you" Valeria replied sweetly
"Congratulations are in order" Albert said and everyone knows he has a good news too.
"Spill it son" Geraldine said happily
"I made it to the top five employee this month, it is likely I get promoted and get a raise" Albert said and they all rejoice happily.
"Congratulations Albert" They chorused
"This cause for celebration" Geraldine said and they all cheered
"Benedict get the nonalcoholic wine" Geraldine said and Benedict leave to get the wine. They ate and drank wine with soft music playing in the background, after dinner they all went to their rooms to relax.
Valeria called Dennis immediately she retire to her room.
"Hi Den" She greeted as soon as he picked up
"Congratulations baby girl" Dennis said happily
"How did you know?" Valeria asked in shock
"It was pasted on the school notice board and you made it to top two highest score" Dennis replied feeling proud
"Really? I'm so happy" Valeria said smiling
"I'm so proud of you sweetheart, I really wanted to let everyone know that's my girl over there" Dennis said with happiness
"Awwwn Den, I feel so happy too" Valeria replied happily.
"So I should be expecting you back in Chicago by the end of this week" Dennis said
"I and my parents haven't discussed that yet but hopefully yes" Valeria replied
"I will be expecting and I can't wait to see you in campus with me" Dennis said smiling
"I can't wait to start studying too" Valeria said happily.
"How was your day?" Dennis asked
"How better could today be Dennis? I started with a very bad one but ended it on a good note" Valeria replied happily
"Let's facetime, I really want to see those smiling face of yours" Dennis said changing the call to facetime
"My girl looks so beautiful with that smile on her" Dennis complimented making Valeria blush
"I miss this face" Valeria said sweetly
"We will soon start seeing each other everyday" Dennis said smiling
"I really can't wait for those days" Valeria replied blushing
"Happiness looks good on you darling" Dennis said and Valeria blushed.
"It's nice talking to you like we always do before" Valeria said sadly
"I'm sorry dear, I didn't mean to prioritise other things above you" Dennis apologise
"I understand you Dennis, I only miss those good old times" Valeria said smiling
"I promise to do better Ria" Dennis replied feeling guilty for neglecting her
"I need to sleep now Den" Valeria said
"Sleep well beautiful" Dennis said
"And you too handsome" Valeria replied blushing and she hang up after they throw kiss to each other. Valeria felt so happy talking to Dennis like the old weeks before this one. She went on webnovel to read her favourite novel from Ray_Miyan before sleeping off.
