No one noticed her entering or exiting the room as if a child of 17, going on 18 years does not even exist. It took her half an hour by bicycle to reach her university. She parked and entered her university's premises. She always did her work early and reached anywhere before time so she had plenty of time to go slow towards her classroom. On her way, Wisteria slipped on a pen which was falling on the ground. She expected to fall on her back with maybe a back in the head injury but after few seconds, she did not felt hurt, so she opened her eyes to look around.
It was him, the boy who always noticed her and tried to help her in several ways for last two months. Ken has held her so she would not fall down.Wisteria was just shocked because of her fall. Still, she collected herself and thanked Ken.
" thank you for saving me just now", wisteria said
Ken took this opportunity, " it was not a big deal, but if you want to thank me, maybe you could come with me for a coffee?".
" please don't say no. It's just a coffee and I also have something to talk to you about. Just once, please", Ken pleaded.
Wisteria has also noticed that Ken really wanted to talk about something to her, and he had also saved her just now so just to get it over with she agreed, " okay, at the lunchtime at the nearby cafe".
Ken replied, "sure".
Wisteria went ahead with her classes schedule, and when it was lunchtime As she had no lunch and just the pocket money which her grandparent left her, she went to the cafe nearby and sat near the window seat waiting for Ken to arrive.
She waited there for 15 minutes, without ordering anything. She was very hungry, her stomach grumbled. So she got up from a seat and went outside of the Cafe to look for Ken and see if he got tangled up in some issue on the way.
She had a good feelings towards this guy, Ken. he has always made her feel like she matted to him. Wisteria was always ignored at her home and had no one to talk to with no friends so when Ken give her such attention consistently, even if she was not giving him any attention of her own. It made her feel important. It made her feel like she mattered to him. Wisteria was very excited to meet him at the cafe. Today she thought maybe they will talk about their feelings if possible. She has always gotten those hints from him that he liked her.
She was worried that now he was late maybe he got in some problem so without eating anything , on an empty stomach she searched for Ken. She did not see him even after searching for him for several minutes at the university premises.
Maybe he went to the cafe when I came out of the cafe. I should go back and look there.
Wisteria changed her way and went back to the Cafe. However, on her way, she heard some talks with her name in it from the alley adjacent to the Cafe so she slowed her walk to hear.
" Why are you doing this babe, now I am getting jealous", a girl whined. " previously. Whenever you did those things I was okay but now you are meeting her, why? Do you not love me?"
" of course I love you but you also know about the bet and if going forward with this could get us some money to enjoy then it would be more fun. I can buy you many things then you know she is rich now don't stall me. I will go and do play my part of a good guy".
After hearing this voice wisteria knew that this Voice belong to Ken. When she heard some moans coming from the alley, she hurriedly run away from that place. She ran and ran for so long that her heart started to burn. She could hear her heartbeats in her ear. Her face was red. Her eyes were shining with all the tears.
She stopped when she felt that there was no one around. Wisteria looked around herself and saw that it was a secluded park. adjacent to the mountain nearby, the university where not many people come. she lost her strength and collapsed on the grass.
why me?
Out of all the people, why me?
Why do I have to suffer?
Why do I have to?
Why do you all have to hurt me?
I am a kind person I never did anything bad then why, why God, why me?
Wisteria screamed her lungs out. She felt her voice breaking, but she still cried her heart out.
she did not wait for another. Second and dusted herself up, her breakdown has already taken an hour of her class time. She still does not want to waste her life dealing with negative emotions all the time. Her grandparents are told her that she has to be strong.
Grandma said that when God has to give good things, he will take away all the good things you had as a test and sometimes he will give you the hardest battle to fight. Grandma, I will be strong. I promised to you that I will be strong so I will not let anything shake me.
I do not have any time to waste because my family was mean to me or a scumbag wanted to cheat me.
wisteria took the route to her university, she still had two classes to attend. wisteria has just taken two steps when shiny sparkly stone fell in front of her from the sky. She looked at the stone on the ground. It was of shining black colour. Almost an inch in length. She looked towards the sky, but saw nothing above her. She bent down and picked up that black stone. When her hand touched that stone, it caused a scraping on her ring finger of her right hand, blood started to pull out from the scratch. The black stone which was hard. Suddenly after coming in contact with her blood became like a making itself a ring on the ring finger of a right hand.
Wisteria saw it all happened with her. It did not even take two seconds for the process to be complete. Even afterwards. She was shocked that something miraculous happened. It was almost impossible.
While she was looking at her ring, she saw her watch and noticed the time that another class has been wasted because of all this. Therefore without any further stoppage, she ran towards her last class.
When wisteria runaway with the ring on her finger, an old woman came out from the nearby tree.
The old woman looked at the figure. Running away, she smiled.
"at last, I found a good owner for you".
"Now take care of yourself and this child. My time is already up, Goodbye, Inky".
