They were surrendered by people attacking them as if they wanted to eat them all. They were their prey and they were just scared especially that one girl who was covered by bl**d all over her clothes, and face and was scared for their lives, that bl*od wasn't hers but theirs who were coming to attack her and the people who were with her, She tried to look at the people who were standing beside her but couldn't because her attention was on their hunters but she could tell that she was surrounded by muscular and handsome men, but does it matter if they are handsome or not at the point where she and they can die anytime? No. It was tense and very chaotic that she struggled to breathe and held something sharp for the attackers to protect themselves.
"Ahhh... Nooo!! It can't happen... Ahhh noo!!!"
"AAAahhhh!!" She woke up and sat on her bed with wide dark hazel eyes, taking heavy breaths, and sweat running down her head.
"Gosh, Not again!" said the girl sitting on the bed.
There were a lot of thoughts going on in her mind regarding the dream or nightmare she just saw while sleeping. "It felt real, something like I was on a battlefield fighting for my life…. Can it be a dream or glimpses of my future?" She took a deep breath and get up from the bed and relief comes out of her mouth.
After taking a bath, She started to comb her black silky long hair looking straight in the mirror. She looked peaceful yet a lot of stuff was going on in her mind.
"Tiara!!" A loud feminine voice came through the door "Come outside and have breakfast!! It's already 11 a.m." the woman opened the door while saying it. She looked angry and old with some gray hair. "Yeah, I saw the time just 5 minutes ago and can't believe it's already almost afternoon, Isn't it amazing." said the girl standing in front of the mirror. "Stop with your nonsense and do something with your life!" The old lady scoffed at the girl. "Mom!! Breakfast is ready, right?" Tiara turned around and started to walk towards the door where her mother was standing. "Then let's just eat it peacefully, okay?" Tiara held her mother's hand pulled her out of her room and started to walk toward the living room.
They reached the living room after just a few steps and there were two men in there, one looked young sitting on the sofa enjoying breakfast and another looked old standing near the main door hinting that he was ready to go out "You should get up with your mother and help her with the chores." the old man advised Tiara. "You can help her instead, I always do as much as possible, Dad," Tiara commented.
Tiara's mother sighed and started walking to the kitchen because she knew there was no way her daughter will listen to any of them.
"You should think about others more than yourself." The old man gave advice again.
"Yeah, Like you thought about others and lost everything you had? No thanks, Dad." She glared at her father with a smirk on her face for some seconds and added "I am good like this. Why should we think about others when we know they will just take advantage of us and go away when we need something from them?" tears appeared in her eye but she wasn't ready to let go of those tears because it will show that she is weaker than she looks. "Don't you dare talk to me like that" Her father said in a loud angry voice. Another voice came from the kitchen "You shouldn't talk to your father like that, Tia!"
Tiara just eye-rolled letting the tears go slowly without anyone noticing and the man who was sitting on the sofa the entire time started to laugh and commented on the situation "But she is telling the truth, you know?"
"I can't be with these kids." The man near the door sighed and opened the door before going out. He said, "They were my siblings that's why I helped them and it feels good to be able to help them even if they only cared about my money not me." He stepped outside of the house, closing the door behind him.
"I know he made a lot of mistakes but is it important to say it in this tone?" questioned the old lady while putting a plate full of food in front of Tiara.
"What tone?" Tiara asked.
"Let her be, Mom. It was needed because I know Father is going to do something again." The man on the sofa supported Tiara.
"I know, right? I can feel something is going on in his mind again." The young girl agreed with her brother.
"Ugh, I can't listen to you!" their mother complained.
After an hour Tiara started getting ready to go outside in her room. "Where do you think you are going?" a manly voice came from the corner of the room. "Stop spying on me through the window, Bro. It's creepy." Tiara got irritated and answered her brother "I'm going to meet my school friends. It's been a while since I met them." She wanted to look good because she will meet her school friends for the first time after she completed school.
"Yeah, Don't get lost in the way." Her brother teased her. "Yes, You should keep calling us because you can get easily lost as you don't go outside often." Their mother said with concern in her eyes. "Mom! I am 20 now. Please, stop treating me like a kid." Our not-so-little Tiara complained about her family's behavior.
"I'm going now and I will let you know when I reached there safely through a call. Bye." She waved her hand and opened the door, then suddenly a voice came from behind "Do you remember which bus you need to take?" Tiara stopped her legs while greeting her teeth and said "I remember Brother!" and walked away while feeling kinda embarrassed.
The moment she put her feet out of her home place her walking style changed like a model looking straight and walking confidently hiding all her insecurities, Everyone was looking at her and admiring her. She had a bag on her shoulders yet not looking bothered by it like everyone else does while walking with a bag.
It was 1 p.m. and the sun was shining brightly, saying it was the start of the summer, giving all its energy to hotness all over the earth, resulting in Tiara's face being covered by sweat within 10 minutes of waiting for the bus at the bus stop. Her fair skin was shining under the sun with sweat on her face.
Finally, The bus she needed to take came and she took it.
After reaching her destination which was the city garden she saw her friends the moment she put her feet on the ground after getting off the bus. She called out to them "Hey!!" They smiled when they saw her and signaled her to follow them with their hands. They were on their way to the city garden's entry gate but one of Tiara's friends stopped her feet from moving and she pointed her finger towards a poster "Oh my gosh! Am I dreaming!?" said the other friend with light brown hair.
They ran towards the poster where some other girls were already standing and clicking pictures with it while Tiara was shocked and wondering what her friends are doing. She started to walk towards her friends and the poster "Do you like this brand? Asked the innocent Tiara. "No, but I like the man who is wearing the brand." her third friend answered, whose skin was tanned but looked good with her curvy body. She was wearing a tight top and shorts making the curves look visible. "Ehh…" Tiara made an ugly face but still, she looked cute. "Who is he?" Tiara interrogated. Every girl on the spot glared at her like she committed a crime by asking that question. Tiara gulped looking at everyone's reaction.
Other girls started to click pictures again but her friends were still looking at her with shocked reactions on their faces. "Oh, I can't believe I am friends with you." complained the light-brown hair girl. "Shut up, Kaashi!" Miss Innocent stopped her friends. "But seriously, Don't you know about TR- X!?" asked the girl with nice curves. "Ohhh!!!" Tiara acted as if she knows about TR-X and her friend's facial expression changed to relief that their friend hasn't been living under a rock after all. "It's a clothing brand, isn't it?" Tiara confidently answered them thinking she is right but her friend's faces turned into disappointed faces like there was nothing they can do about it. "Who the hell told you that it's a clothing brand!!?" Mindblown Kaashi asked with a little loud voice. "Uhmm… I've seen people wearing clothes written TR-X on those clothes and caps. They even have a logo." Miss Innocent described her answer.
"Don't say this in front of anyone else, please." said one of her friends whose hair was short and curly. "Okay, Prachi… But what he has anything to do with that brand?" Tiara started to think while her friends were just looking at her with a done expressions on their faces. "Ohh!! He is the owner of the TR-X brand, right?" Tiara started to think about something again and then interrogated again "Then why is he promoting another brand than his own? Won't it be unprofitable for his brand?" Her friends sighed and finally, they decided to fill her in about the TR-X and who the person on the poster was.
Kennedy explained, "First, TR-X isn't a clothing brand. It's a K-pop band name". Tiara looked shocked after learning the truth. Cassidy the curvy one told about the man on the poster and said "And he is a member of the TR-X band."
She felt a little embarrassed for not knowing about it sooner but she ignored it and said "Okay okay, We should enjoy our day now!"
After 2 hours of enjoyment, they sat down and started to talk about their lives after all it's been 2 years since they met each other in person. They talked about their education, jobs, ups, and downs, but mostly love lives.
While talking about stuff the conversation ended up on TR-X again. "They're organizing a concert in Aglos" Kaashi informed her friends. "Yeah, Aglos is a beautiful country, I would like to go there for their concert." Prachi admired and told her wishes to everyone. "Gahh!!! Why don't they have a concert in our country ever!!" Cassidy burst. "You can watch it on t.v, what's the big deal about it." Tiara tried to calm them. "Ahh, You don't say anything because you don't even know them!!" Prachi said doubtfully crossing her arms. Tiara stopped herself before saying something and just rolled her eyes with irritation because she doesn't want to talk about something or someone she doesn't know anything about. Kaashi ignored everyone and said "Well, I'm going to Aglos and I've already bought their concert tickets.", This little statement left everyone shocked. "Oh my gosh!!" fangirls friends screamed together. "Take me with you, please!" Cassidy requested Kaashi.
"I could, but as far as I know you and Prachi don't have a passport." Prachi and Cassidy's faces became dull after the truth hit them. "But I don't want to go alone, Everything will be different there. Place, people, and language." Kennedy told others about her worries. "You can take your parents with you." Miss Innocent gave her suggestion. All three of them started to stare at her while Tiara looked confused by their reaction. "We aren't you, Tiara." Prachi sighed. "What do you mean?" Tiara asked. "You like to go out with your mother but not us, Girl." Kaashi cleared that she doesn't want to go there with her parents but then her face lit up like she had an idea for something and decided to open her mouth saying "Actually, Why don't you come with me?" leaving others with wide eyes and open mouth in shock.
