1 Soulmate,where have you been?

It says that women who are born under the sign of Libra are quite friendly yet it's not easy to deal with if they get upset.

"Oh really?" Says Tang shi as she listens to the radio announcer who presently voicing out his own idea towards zodiac signs.

It's the program on the radio about horoscopes! Her daily routine before going out of their house. Like she bases her everyday life on it, thinking that her fortune for today is beyond her reach.

"It's not easy to go to school knowing that your far away from home?" she shrugged. It's been three months of schooling and at the same time working after her class in the afternoon. She's got into it, waking up at 4 am prepare food for her relatives to whom she's very thankful, because they let her stay in their not so huge but not also small house. It's her relatives from her mother's side. Her cousins here are very thoughtful and they treat her well but she doesn't like to be a burden to them that's why as long as she could, she will also serve them breakfast as a thank you for their kindness towards her.

At 5 am she's doing her assignments that are supposed to be done at night but because of her night shift schedule from work, it's in no way possible. 6 am she tunes out the radio as she listens to her daily horoscope! This is her routine! Always on the clock! When it strikes 06:30 am that's her signal to finally off to School.

"Haysst!!! Way to go! Walking is good for the body!" She said as she walks down through the alley...

"The air seems so cold today? Maybe the weather is not quite good and rain will be expected to pour down this afternoon she giggled like she is a weather expert!"

"Hahaha! Too good to be true!"

Humming sounds of the birds can be heard nearby after all their town is nature friendly. The officials are very responsible for keeping Mother Nature alive! They preserve every ancestral house beyond the area. Walking on your own is safe here because all the nearby neighborhoods were friendly and always capable of helping each other. So peaceful, Shi smiles as she greeted uncle Ju An good morning! It's their school janitor whom she happens to help on the other day.

"Good morning little miss shi! You're always early for school little miss!" Smiles back the old man that she called uncle Ju an! He nodded, this little miss is not blood-related to him but she's the one who helps him when he escaped from death because of his adopted son's wrongdoings. This little miss shi, he will help her find her true love soon.

"Hey, uncle Ju An?! Brought you some bread," shi stretch out her arm to hand over the bread to her uncle Ju An, he smiles back and accepts it. She smiles, even more, that her dimple on her left cheek appears.

================================================================

Meanwhile, Ang's Villa.

The oldest of the Ang family is about to marry someone. Even though it is against his will!

I'll divorce after six months Grandpa, Ethan suddenly burst out his anger.

"You! How could you talk to me that way! Marriage is not yet done but you are now talking about divorce!?" Old man Ang points out his cane to his grandson angrily.

"How could you be so stubborn! You have to marry this young Lad to fulfill your grandma's last will!"

"If not? All of your inheritance will be vanish all at once!"

"Senior? I beg you to please calm down," the private nurse, upon seeing the angry face of the old man she interrupted their conversation, she's well aware that it's not good for the old man Ang to be angry.

"It's not like that grandpa, sorry if I upset you regarding divorce, I know that grandma's last will is your priority, but how about me? Knowing that I marry someone I don't even meet?" Ethan explains in a low voice to suppress the anger of the old man. How could he end up like this? A bachelor, girls gone wild crazy over him, for him, love is only a game! Marriage is not listed on his private dictionary! His grandma? Her last will! It's like an arrow! Stupid cupid does exist!

The only thing that he can recall was the embroidery of his late grandma.

Venus? Now he realizes, that embroidery is the name of that lady that he will soon be married to.

"Alright! Alright! As I've said earlier! Two months after this conversation, you and this lady will tie the knot soon, and that's Final! Now, leave!" Old man Ang said in an authoritative tone.

Ethan just walk away, he wanted to slam the door but he couldn't. This lady venus! He will make her life a living hell once they get married! Who knows? Maybe she's just a flirt or something? Like those women who chase after him.

===============================================================

After her class, Shi is about to begin her daily routine! Work until midnight!

It's her family that makes her feel active every day.

"Pull yourself! Go to work! Work hard!" She yelled out at herself!

"Ugh! Life, for now, it's so dull!" She shrugged.

It's just like yesterday, money is not bothersome to them but all of a sudden, it's been snatched away from them. If they can only foresee the future, her eldest sister's marriage is a trap. She may be the youngest daughter, but, she promises to herself, one day, she will put an end to the misery of her family.

Tears began to cover her eyes.

"You have to be strong!"

"S T R O N G!!!" She recites every letter of it, as a reminder that there's no time for sentimental stuff like this.

Yesterday must be left behind. What more important now is, the promise of today.

She wiped out her tears! How could grandma so supportive? She smiles, upon seeing her handkerchief specially embroidered by her grandma, -Venus.

Heading to work!

"Served this one! VIP upstairs! Faster! We have to be more attentive tonight. The big boss is here!" Their manager hand over the liquor to her.

"Big boss? Oh!? No tip for tonight," she thought.

Serving the big boss means no tip. This is expected because how could this big boss give tips to his own employees?

She glared at the bottle she's holding as if it is their big boss's face that she's looking at.

This big boss maybe some kind of big fat boss! She remembered her fellow employee being bullied by their big boss upon serving in the VIP room. She just doesn't know the entire story but her fellow employee said that he's cruel.

She knocks once, their manager told her that she only needs one knock at the door before she enters.

Nervous, she reaches the knob and twists it open.

"Cold and darkroom? What the hell? Their big boss is a vampire?" As she thought to herself she suddenly smiles and maintains herself calm to stop her laughter to release. But the dimples on her cheek are no way to hide. The angelic aura that glowing on her face. The beauty that radiates within.
