A year later.....

It's late December, I took 2 weeks off to visit Tiere at Jakarta, staying at her apartment. Tiere told me she loves her job and she made a lot of money. I'm so happy that I let her chase her dreams. And I, I finally got to work at my dream game company, was accepted right after a month dating Tiere. She's like a lucky charm to me.

The sun shining through the open curtain, I woke up before the alarm start beeping. I turned it off once it rang cause it's Sunday, I leaned forward looking at the peaceful looks of Tiere while she's sleeping, drooling on her pillow, greasy hair, and her messy waterproof makeup, did she forget to wash her face or? I use my thumb to wipe her eye –shadow but I didn't make it, for me she's always beautiful, my lips lifted upward I feel warm in my heart as it beats faster cause I realize how much I love her. Somehow it's so calming and my heart is melting. I leaned my head forward again, kiss her lips once and she pouted. "I want to sleeeppppp" she said, tossing her body to the other side. I laid back on the bed, hug her from behind. 

"Good morning, my dear" I whispered. I heard her sniffing smiles. Then my phone ruined my Sunday. 

drrrttt drrttt drrttt

I sit up to catch my phone, my mom's picture popped up. DAMN! SHE IS VIDEO CALLING ME RIGHT NOW? I LIED TO HER! But it's okay, I am 24 years old. BUT NO, JUST PRETEND I'M IN THE HOTEL.

I click the green button soon as my mom's face close up-ly appeared. I was kind of shock, my heart start pumping fast, throbbing behind my ribs, it's going to crack soon.

"Hii.. Mom" my jaw turns rigid. 

"Hey, so, you're at Jakarta?" my mom asked, still smiling.  

I nod my head, "Yes"

"Huh.. it's so hard to ask you to come to Miami, but when it is about Tiere, you arrived soon as she asked" 

I told my mom about Tiere and my mom was so happy about it. I don't know she used to ship me with Tiere since grade –school. I don't understand my mom sometimes. 

"Mom..." I rolled my eyes. 

"So where's she?"

"She is beside me..ups" I covered my mouth, DAMN! MY MOM PURPOSELY SHIFT MY CONCENTRATION.

Her smile disappeared, her face turned scary. THIS IS THE END OF MY LIFE!

"HAA!! YOU!!! Bastard! You slept with TIERE?? YOU DARE LIED TO ME?? YOU WANNA GET MARRIED SOON, HUH?" 

"Momm.. mom... listen" like usually....

Then, how about Caroline and the flowers?

Back to that time.

Once I've done my confessions towards Tiere, I walked back to my car light –heartedly. I feel happy and relieved at the same time. 

drrrtt drrttt

It's Caroline. Oh, I really forgot about her! I was kinda shock.

"Ryan.. where the hell are you?"

"Caroline.. I'm so sorry to say this. But, I think I'd like to stay with Tiere cause I love her" I said as I scratched my forehead, I know I sound like a total jerk but this is for the best.

"What???" she moaned and hung up the phone, before I even explain. 

Then the florist got to call me. 

"Hello, Giany's florist here. Am I talking with Mr.Valerian?"
 "Hello, miss florist. The bouquet and the chocolate box, sorry.. my girlfriend just left the town, so I'm giving that package for you. Thankyou!"

It turned her speechless, maybe I sound pathetic but not too pathetic that makes her confused. Ah, not a big deal.

That's how I deal with my puppy lover and the first roses I bought.

CHAPTER.6 THE POWER OF IMAGINATION
HUMAN being has advantage called "THE POWER OF IMAGINATION" First a fall understand the real mean of power of imagination its simple you imagine something in your mind that you just see no other see it.
It could be like some information, idea, plan, product, service, strategy or some type of thoughts that no one see that some of people have question why no one see?
It simply means it's your thoughts you power of thinking, your ability to see some type of problem how anyone think or see what kind of thoughts you have.
'every great product or service first start in mind' and without power of imagination how do you produce any thoughts and ideas.
SO, reader I'm asking you what your favorite book, podcast, business show or a movie (business movies) you know your answer but question stand here why do you love any book or person?
Simply because you love his content or taking picture in your mind, this thing happens because of imagination I my right?
If yes so, we understand one of the power full quotes "Great men have great imagination". Second one is "imagination is everywhere"
(1) GREAT MEN HAVE GREAT IMAGINATION
So, reader in this part of the book I'm meet you 3 great scientist or inventor all the time he uses extraordinary power of imagination, and I clearer that the end of this topic you will understand why great men have great imagination.
THE GREATEST SCIENTIST SIR.ALBERT EINSTEIN
 
The great scientist ALBERT EINSTEIN say Imagination is more important than knowledge, for knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand."
The great scientist albert Einstein invent the phenomenon thing called gravity if you read this book it means you 100% understand Einstein gravity situation or explanation, you also read Einstein apple theory in your school studies I'm not here describe his Apple theory but we try to understand his imagination power, without his imagination I'm sure he not able to invent gravity.
So we imagine right at time Einstein apple situation imagine Einstein sitting and at time one apple fall to his head STOP here all the imagination cover in this situation now understand that Einstein is not a first person who sitting and something fall in down side but he live in present time and use his imagination ask him self why A apple fall in down side?
Einstein ask him self again and again something why anything fall down to the earth? He starts experiment many more stuff and finally he 100%sure that anything in this world throw is fall the down side the earth, but his curiosity not complete here he ask again himself but what every thing fall in down why this principal not apply in space?
Finally, one day he completes his curiosity and find THE GRAVITY that why his achieve greatness but what factor he use to complete his curiosity?
IMAGINATION yes Einstein first use his imagination power than add unstoppable curiosity and he give the all world new LAW OF GRAVITY we respect sir. Einstein thanks for giving gravity definition and we use very well.
"The area of space science gravity is first priority" that because we able to take our satellite in space and research about many galaxy, so I'm suggest you also use your imagination power and make something that no one imagine and achieve great success people remember Many Many years 'the god will send you just because of one reason ADDING VALUE in this universe.
 
THE GREAT SCIENTIST OR BUSINESSMEN SIR.TOMAS ALVA EDISON
The greatest American inventor or businessmen TOMAS.A. EDISON these men change the darkness to the light in all the world, SIR.EDISON developed many devices like (Electric power generation, mass communication, sound recorder, motion picture and LIGHT BULB) This men also use his imagination power and create many products.
EDISON most famous quotes are "To invent, you need a good imagination and a pile of junk." This man is inspiring an of many Entrepreneurs, businessmen or many people, Edison made 1,000 unsuccessful attempts to inventing the light bulb.
One reporter asked him "SIR.EDISON how do feel to fail 1,000 times?
EDISON replied who say you I'm fail No "I didn't fail 1,000 times; I'm learn that these 1,000 attempts not working for inventing light bulb. 
Reader just look at his power of imagination about failure he says I'm not fail 1,000 times I'm just learn this is the real power of imagination but imagine if we fail 3 to 4 major businesses how we feel? Very sad and I'm 100% sure we have not that much power to fail 1,000 times and stand again and work with same effort, just think that how he thinks failure and now he printed 1,000 experience(attempt) to his name.
TOMAS.A.EDISON the most time failure men but hr NEVER GIVE UP just think that one person fail 1,000 times but never thinking about give up this is the real game of high achiever mind, that why I'm say you first join master mind group you are a achieve success I'm sure but your subconscious mind 'learn daily it only tool that help you' NEVER GIVE UP.
TOMAS ELVA EDISON fail 1,000 attempts to achieve "The greatest inventor in all time THE LIGHT BULB,
Never give up I'm also fail 3 times in my life but I'm not thinking that I'm fail, I just learn from failure so why you thinking about give up. (I fail first my love than 2 times business failure) we are a fucking eagle and we fly alone, "Alone is powerful than anything" some people give up and some people make history.
You are coming for making history and you will achieve everything that you imagine just never give up...KEEP GOING, I'm confirm one thing if you thinking about achieving success you will be Alone Today, tomorrow and yesterday because sheep waking in community and lion walk alone.
If you alone its direct mean you will going successful one day…. keep going Buddy.
 
THE FOUNDING FATHER OF AMERICA SIR.BENJAMIN FRANKLIN
Benjamin franklin one of the greatest leaders ever in all history time, "Sir. Benjamin One men One army" you have question why I'm say this way? he masters in writer, printer, political, philosopher, politician, freemason, postmaster, scientist, invertor, humourist, civic, activist, statesman and diplomat.
Think that how one person masters in this field? I'm give you quick answer in one word "CURIOSITY" yes curiosity is biggest factor for making normal person to the greatest person in all time.
This is my thoughts I'm not say you to buy my thoughts but I thinking that America is a center of most great leader, businessmen, inventor, Entrepreneur, scientist and many more, America produce many great leaders of all the history.
Just think that today America in one side and all world stand different side if America do something all fucking world try to copy them but "copy is copy and making different process" if you are born if America so today go and say thanks god your country is center of great leader like GEORGE WASINGTON, BENJAMIN FRANKLIN, ABRAHAM LINCOLN, ALEXANDER HAMILTON, NIKOLA TESLA, GRAHAM BELL, WRIGHT BROTHRES, TOMAS EDISON And many more great leaders.
Study show that if you live or born in America your chance of achieving success is increase than any one, it not means I'm not love my country INDIA also produce most of leaders, scientist, businessmen and Entrepreneur I love both countries.
INCREASE IMAGINATION POWER
So, in this topic I'm explain you some type of technique and method how you will increase your imagination power...
(1) TURN OF YOUR FUCKING TV.
Watching tv is fucking worst thing in this world I'm say you in my life experience that successful people don't watch fucking Tv, tell me just one person men who watch 3 to 4 hours Tv and he became wealthy not a single person you will find I'm sure but why rich and successful people don't watch Tv one of the most important fact that Tv give only 10 to 15% knowledge and 90% fucking garbage.
One of the most important information I learn in my early that luxury brand like (ROLL-ROYCE, BENTLEY, PORSCHE AND RANGE ROVER) they are not investing their money on Tv ad why? Simple because they understand their audience not watching a Tv, 90% people in this world are watching Tv show, web series and many more entertainment shows but only 5 to 8% people invest in mind.
Choice today what are you destine 90% community or top 10% community? If you read his book so you are become top 10% people community and you invest in your mind, reading a book not just help your mind but also increase your imagination power, willpower, thinking ability, knowledge and many more benefits.
Successful people not become successful lucky they become successful because they thinking like successful and act successful, go and read any successful person biography you will find that this daily routine was different then normal people its true "the secret of your success is hidden in your daily routine" that fucking true.
My mentor says very well that 'look at any unsuccessful person daily routine you will find why he not achieve success' I'm believe my mentor this advice you also able to find why people not achieve success its because of this daily routine I'm give you here quick example you will realize that why success ratio have very down, just tell me one thing how many of people walk up at 4Am morning answer is 2to 3% I'm rights how many of people walk up 8 to 10Am belong in the morning answer is 80 to 90% that is success ratio.
How many books you read in this year's 5to 8 that's good but not great "good is the enemy of the great" but most successful businessmen, Entrepreneurs or investor read at list 25 to 30 books in a single year, WARREN BUFFETT spends is five to six hours a day just for reading newspaper, corporate reports and books, BILL GATES read 50 books in a year, ELON  MUSK in his early years reading 2 books a day, MARK ZUCKERBERG aim is read one book in every two weeks and what about you how many books do you read in his year?
Read a book it a process of imagine some kind of information, character, background, situation, Authors thoughts and many more thing you will imagine in you mind and capture them but then we watching an Tv you just need for capturing images or information (Tv information same that garbage) 2 kind of different process choice your choice well? 
One of the greatest special men I'm meet that name was SWAMI GYANVASSHAL he says that if you read only 200 books, I'm challenge you, you will not live your like normal person.
The greatest quotes about books that "books are the best friend of human being "Think that reading a book is a different process than watching a Tv, some of the poor-mindset people say that if watching is not good for me so I'm not taking courses YouTube video, business show and many more no Asshole my atones what not this way, I'm simply say that if you find knowledge in Tv so definitely watch but "knowledge is power" if you find knowledge anything just watch but research show that Tv have only 10 to 15% knowledge source so why you waste your time.
The law of succeed book if you read it direct mean you will complete your first step to achieving success.

THIS BOOK IS BLUEPRINT OF SUCCESS FULL SUCCESS DEFINATION PROVIDE IN ONE BOOK CALLED "THE LAW OF SUCCESSED"

"In every conceivable manner, the family is a link to our past, bridge to our future."
The sixteen-year-old Klaus Weber uttered this sentence smoothly to his friend sitting at the seat in front. Being the last students to stay in their classroom, the garbled noises from the schoolyard stood out to the two friends.
Sunset dyed their classroom orange.
Crows cawed somewhere outside as they flew.
There were several students in the tennis club practicing in the late evening, and Klaus could hear their shouts even from his class. If someone was to ignore this, the atmosphere surrounding Klaus and his friend could be considered quiet.
Klaus Weber. A first-year high schooler at the Yokoyama Ichi Academy. His ocean blue eyes were a distinct contrast to his neatly cropped dark hair. His diversions while at school? Getting together with friends and those who he considered family as often as he could. Participate in events with them and alike.
To someone like him, being alone without a friend, a family member to talk with was something he never wanted to experience again.
Speaking of which, the friend sitting in front of Klaus at the time was Akeno Aoi. With her thin eyes staring at Klaus indifferently, she brushed a few fingers over her other hand.
"That quote. Alex Haley, was it?"
"Correct!" A wide smile appeared on Klaus's face.
"Then, how about this one?"
Klaus coughed an exaggerated cough and straightened his sitting posture. "The family is the most important organization in time or eternity. Our purpose in life is to create for ourselves eternal family units."
"...Joseph Fielding Smith. That was a quote by Joseph Fielding Smith."
Once again, Klaus smiled at Aoi's correct response. He practically muttered those quotes a multitude of times to her, so it wasn't difficult to guess. As best friends, they were close, so it was hardly a chore for Aoi to remember the quotes and who had said them.
"I'd heard them for too many times. Pick a new quote. Choose one that's not related to family or anything of the sort," said Aoi. The words she spoke came out as monotone as ever. They lacked any ego or drive. While this was true, Aoi's eyes glinted with slight happiness every time Klaus brought up his list of quotes randomly.
But her expression was almost the same that no one noticed, not even Klaus.
"Hmm, you have a family of your own, Aoi. I was born an orphan, raised by my grandmother, and learned to do everything by myself."
"That was quite an exaggeration. I don't remember the last time you cleaned your room by yourself. In regards to sports, you're hopeless."
"Ugh... Don't bring those up!"
"There's only the two of us here," Aoi muttered as she ran her hand down her shoulder-length dark hair.
Aoi adjusted her glasses and then grabbed her schoolbag. Knowing she wanted to leave, Klaus did the same as well and swept his gaze over the classroom. Since both of them were on duty, they'd swept the floor and wiped the windows after their classmates left.
"Wait for me at the gate," ordered Aoi.
"Where are you going?"
"The staffroom. Just wait for me at the gate, Klaus."
With almost silent steps, Aoi walked away and turned into a corner in the corridor, leaving Klaus alone. Ah, he had forgotten. They had to return the keys to the storeroom. Klaus realized this and bit his lip.
Well, the boy was prone to forget things quickly.
On the ground floor, Klaus sauntered over to his shoe locker and pulled out his shoes. He had put a bit of strength into his pull without him realizing, and a white letter immediately fluttered before his eyes. It took a few moments before Klaus could register the object lying near his feet.
"Wait, did I..." Staring at the nameplate soldered onto the shoe locker's door, he shook his head. It was indeed his shoe locker.
"Hm." He quickly glanced left and right. Good, no one else was there at the moment! It would be unwise for him to wait any longer, and so, he picked the letter and hid it in his schoolbag.
Opening it in his room would be the best choice. Though, even after Klaus had resolved to this, his heart couldn't stop thumping against his chest.
"A love letter? It can't be, right?" He said to no one in particular.
He balked at the fact that he'd just received a love letter. That couldn't be it? He never had any experience with this sort of event before, so he had many doubts. No one would think of giving something like this to him. After all, a lot of girls he knew described him as annoying since he wouldn't stop coming up with quotes during conversations. He was self-aware of this.
Though by letting his negative thoughts took over, Klaus quickly concluded that the sender had mistaken his shoe locker for someone else's. Hence the reason why he found the letter first.
Wait, this didn't feel right as well.
It was late evening. Wouldn't it make more sense for the sender to place the letter in the early morning? Leaving it in the shoe locker for a whole night would surely trouble the sender more than he or she would've wanted. That person wouldn't be able to get a good night's sleep, thinking about it.
"Ah... but what do I know? If it does turn out that he or she got the wrong person, I'll just put it where it is supposed to be."
A simple plan, but common sense would tell him otherwise if he thought about it a few more times. There was a good chance that the intended person was someone he didn't know at all, if barely. Klaus proceeded to focus his line of thoughts in a different direction. Indeed, he quickly thought that the sender didn't get his shoe locker mixed up, that he was the intended person all along.
Standing by himself at the school gate, Klaus mentally made a list of the possible girls who had placed the letter in his shoe locker. Could it be the class's representative, Kitabayashi Arisu? Or perhaps his secret admirer was the student council's vice president, Fukutsuchi Emiko! No, this list had some girls that were out of his league. He had to trim it down.
"What's this about a love letter?"
"Wah!"
Aoi looked at Klaus with a steady gaze, neither curiosity nor puzzlement visible in her eyes. At least Klaus thought so when he saw her.
"Nothing... The family is one of nature's masterpieces!"
The quote came out of nowhere. Klaus put up a wry smile, somewhat contradicting himself. He was an open book to his best friend through and through.
"A quote by George Santayana. That aside, you're nervous. Did something happened while I was gone?"
Aoi didn't appear to be worried, despite what she said. Her emotionless countenance sometimes made even Klaus a bit dumbfounded when he wanted to respond to her questions.
These two walked to school every day, and it didn't take more than fifteen minutes for them to reach their neighborhood. Klaus halted in front of his house and slowly turned to face Aoi behind him.
"Have you ever thought of sending a love letter to me?" Klaus blurted out of nowhere, asking a straightforward question.
He'd hoped that his deduction was correct, that Aoi was the one who'd placed the letter.
"Let me guess. Someone sent you a love letter, and you haven't opened it yet. But since you're not close with anyone other than me, you're assuming I was the one who'd given you the letter."
She'd guessed everything!
"Um..."
"I see. Then, good luck with your first romance."
Aoi lazily waved Klaus goodbye and walked to her house a few blocks away. For someone who had known Klaus for a long time, she knew Klaus had no experience in this sort of matter. As far as she was aware, his focus was solely on his hobbies and fascinations.
Klaus's hobbies? During his free time before dinner, he would tend to his collection of books. Yes, each book, each story revolved around the character's relationships.
"Spirits Beyond. Rise of the Wandering Noble Family. Black Tears of Brynhildr."
It was only five more minutes before dinner, but Klaus decided to read one more book before then. He sat on a chair and skimmed through the scented pages of Spirits Beyond. It didn't take more than a few seconds until he had reached the page he wanted to read.
The page described a scene where the male protagonist who had grown up by himself stumbled into a certain girl. This girl recognized him as her younger brother, but he denied any relation between them quite adamantly. The protagonist had grown to hate his family for leaving him by himself and quickly ran away from the scene. He ran away from his older sister.
With a sigh, Klaus put the book away. This emotional scene always got him excited. More often than not, he would try to find time to read the book over and over.
"Spirits Beyond" wasn't the best book he had read, but the protagonist resonated with him quite a lot. An orphan searching for his family, but in the end, chose to forget about them.
A strange feeling welled up in his chest. Yes, the sense of uncomfortable deja vu hit him every time he read this scene. Why? He didn't know the answer.
"Ah, the time!" It was already time for dinner.
At the dining table, an elderly smiled at Klaus when he stepped into the kitchen. Dinner for that night was chicken curry with fragrant, fluffy rice.
Klaus had helped cooked the rice and cut the chicken into sizable pieces roughly an hour ago.
"Eat slowly. The food won't be going anywhere." Klaus's grandma let out a small laugh. Klaus shoved lumps of rice into his mouth, refilled his bowl of rice, and slathered more curry on his plate.
Since Klaus was young, this woman had been taking care of him by herself.
Words won't be enough to describe how grateful Klaus is towards her. Due to this, Klaus wouldn't hesitate to spill whatever he had in his mind.
"Grandma, someone put a love letter in my shoe locker!" said Klaus after he'd finished eating.
It was worth noting that he had not opened the letter yet. Regardless, he ran his mouth and spoke in a prideful tone. This accomplishment enraptured him this much.
"Who is it? Do I know her?" Grandma asked curiously.
"I haven't opened it yet. But whoever this girl is, I'll make her like me more with the newest quotes I'd discovered. She'll fall head over heels over me, I'm sure."
"Ah, but don't neglect your studies, okay? You're a smart student already, so I don't want your academics to be affected. Make good use of your time," said Grandma. "Anyway, don't forget to introduce her to me when you can."
"No problem!"
To be so excited, it was proof that this was indeed Klaus's first step into his adolescent romance. Not to say it was wrong to be thinking this way.
Klaus went back to his room after chatting with grandma for a little while and rummaged through his schoolbag. His fingers pressed the white letter as he pulled it out.
Sweat trickling down his forehead, he gingerly opened the letter with his free hand. A folded sheet of paper poked out from inside.
Thum! Thum!
Akeno Aoi let herself in through the wooden door and stared at the letter in Klaus's hands. She raised an eyebrow at it.
"I didn't say you could come in!" Klaus said with slanted eyes. "And when did you come in?"
"You haven't read it yet?"
"No... I'm about to. Why are you here this late anyway?"
"I can't help but question myself. I want to know who it is."
"Tch. Don't be a busybody."
Klaus wanted to read the letter by himself, so Aoi's presence miffed him, more than he'd thought it would. Regardless, Klaus motioned for Aoi to sit on his chair as he unfolded the white sheet of paper.
It wasn't uncommon for Aoi to visit him at random times. After all, they had known each other since elementary. He was used to seeing her quite a lot after school.
"So, so, who is it?" asked Aoi with an indifferent expression. Her words didn't match the face she was making.
"...."
"Hey, I'm talking to you."
"Is this a prank?"
Klaus gave the paper to Aoi and sat on the floor. He buried his face in his hands and sobbed exaggeratedly. Snots of shame flowed out, and tears of embarrassment trickled down his cheeks. Who would do this?! A devil in human form! Klaus cursed silently.
Aoi stared at the letter, and as if wanting to exacerbate Klaus's mood, read the contents out loud.
"Klaus Weber, I'd known you for a long time. You might not believe nor remember me. To err is human, after all. There are so many things I need to tell you. I need to see you in person. I'll visit your classroom sooner or later, so be prepared.
Regards, your loving father."
"Is this a joke? Your father is..." Aoi wanted to comment on the letter, but Klaus's sobs ceased the action.
"My parents died a long time ago!" Klaus said with teary eyes. "The only ones I have now are you and grandma. Who thought about this heartless prank?!"
"Now, you're acting like a five-year-old... You're exaggerating. Ignore this and..."
"Aoi! I won't forgive anyone who makes fun of my family! If the family were a fruit, it would be an orange, a circle of sections, held together but separable – each segment distinct."
"What? That's a quote by Loretta Cottin Porgrebin, right? That came out of nowhere."
Klaus shook his head and stormed out of the house, his hand gripped a slender wooden stick tightly. Where did he get it? Aoi called for him, but the man paid her the scantest attention. He would visit this student who'd sent the letter and wack him or her in the face!
Though, he had no clue as to who this person was, and more importantly, where he or she lived.
"Stop being an idiot."
Aoi pulled him by the collar and slapped him squarely on his cheek.
"Wha... Aoi?"
"You become an idiot every time you let your emotions take over. If I wasn't there for you each time this happened, then you would've been caught doing stupid things."
Again, Aoi said these words with little to no emotion showing on her face.
"Aoi..."
"And since I'm always with you at school, the other students will think I'm weird as well."
"That's your reason?!"
"Anyway, enough of this. Throw away the letter and finish your homework. I'll let you copy mine this time."
Klaus nodded and thanked the benevolent sister with a smile. He wanted to do his homework by himself before, but an offer like this was hard to resist. As for the stupid letter, he would just keep it for now until he could find the sender.

[ STORY IS ON INDEFINITE HIATUS ]

"In every conceivable manner, the family is a link to our past, bridge to our future." – Alex Haley

Every night when certain individuals close their eyes and start sleeping, they are pulled into a place called "The Personal Dimensions". 

During their stay there, they are capable of manipulating the contents of the dimension to their whim. However, evil creatures called Draugrs appear to prey on these humans, forcing them to defend themselves with the help of an entity to guide them.

Soon after a fated encounter, Klaus is discovered to have been "reincarnated" and is able to enter the Personal Dimensions and fight – while balancing his school life, his social life and his new dungeon-crawling life.

She was lucky. This time the boss could speak Mandarin. He smiled as he replied to her, "Miss, you have good judgment. I like the stud earrings as well. I actually intended to keep them for myself, but since you like them, I'll sell the pair to you. A pair of stud earrings costs 80 yuan."
80 yuan! Chi Enen bit her lip. It was about the same price as what she had expected. But she put down the stud earrings and bargained with the boss. "Boss, 80 yuan is too expensive, can it be cheaper? If it is cheaper, I'll buy it."
Li Beijue frowned, he was about to pay for her automatically. Chi Enen knew that he would spoil her plans. She quietly reached out her hands to grab hold of him, shaking her head at him quietly. 
What was the woman doing?
Chi Enen stopped him and made use of the opportunity to bargain with the boss. "Boss, give me a lower price. I didn't bring much money on my first trip abroad. I also want to buy some other things. If you sell it at 80 yuan, I won't be able to buy anything else."
The boss seemed to be in a difficult position. "But Miss, I have given you a very low price."
"If that's the case then never mind." Chi Enen pulled Li Beijue to walk away, a reluctant look on her face.
She had just taken a few steps when she felt that she was being held back.
She froze and looked up. The man with the cold expression tugged at her hands. He seemed to want to go back to the stall.
"Li Beijue, what are you doing?"
"Don't you like those stud earrings? Why do you walk away? I'll buy them for you." She was his woman. He would not allow her to give up a pair of 80 yuan stud earrings that she liked. 
Chi Enen stopped him, looking exasperated. "I am not leaving. I am just…"
"What?" Li Beijue had a stiff expression on his face, directing his aristocratic phoenix eyes on her. 
Chi Enen had no idea how she should explain the art of bargaining to him. 
Fortunately, at this time, the boss stopped them.
"Miss, wait. I'll give it to you at 60 yuan! 60 yuan is the lowest. If you like them, you can have them. If you still feel that it's expensive, then forget it."
Chi Enen was relieved. She pulled Li Beijue back to the booth, a smile on her face as she explained to him on the way back. "You don't understand. One can usually bargain at this kind of roadside stalls. The boss knows about this as well, therefore they quote a higher price. If they run into people who do not know how to bargain and pay according to the price that the boss quotes, they will earn more. If they run into people who know how to bargain, they have a range where they can cut the price. Therefore, when one shops at places like this, never pay according to the price that the seller first quotes you. One must bargain with them. If they refuse to give in, pretend to walk away. The boss will usually reduce the price in order to sell their goods."
Li Beijue's heart ached as he listened to her while she shared her bargaining techniques.
What kind of life had she lived in the past few years and why did she know so much? He preferred her to know nothing than to know everything.
Chi Enen did not know what was on his mind. She paid 60 yuan to the boss, feeling satisfied with the stud earrings that she just bought.
Anxin loved simple accessories. This pair of pearl stud earrings was just nice. She would definitely love it.
After completing her biggest task today, Chi Enen felt much more relaxed. She pulled the man next to her to continue with her shopping, feeling more at ease.
There was something very good about the night market and there was everything that one needed. 
There was food, drinks and fun. As long as one could think of it, there was nothing that the night market did not have.
Chi Enen had lots of fun shopping, eating and drinking. She also bought a lot of interesting stuff.
"What is that?"
Just when she was about to call it a day, she saw a group of people who were gathered in front of her. They seemed as if they were snatching up something good. Her eyes lit up, as she pulled Li Beijue to run toward that direction. "Li Beijue, let's go and take a look." 


In front of others, he is a cold and callous President of an empire. Young, wealthy and handsome, he is also the Prince Charming in every woman’s heart.
Only Chi Enen knows how temperamental, domineering and possessive he is!
Five years ago, Chi Enen left him and disappeared without a trace. Now, she bumped into him coincidentally and he refuses to let her go.
After their reencounter, he bounds Chi Enen mercilessly to his side. If she is out of his sight for a moment, his paranoia will be triggered…
“I gave in to you in the past because I can't bear not to. Now, I have already decided to do it my way. I don't need your agreement."
“Li Beijue, what do you want from me?”
“I just want you to fall in love with me!”
Chi Enen struggles to get out of his clutches and at the same time, fighting desperately to resist his charm. 
Will he discover the truth of what happened five years ago?

Aisha.

"How did you get here? Actually, how did you know that I was here?", said a furious Aisha, steel in her hand.
Sergio slowly turned around and eyed Aisha. 

"Are you forgetting that this is one of my properties too? I can come here anytime that I want to. Those angry eyes are your pain untold, and I wish you would tell it, I do. I would be yours in any storm, but there's one thing baby... you have to keep me safe from them. You have to let me all the way in so that you always trust me and I only ever see your kind eyes, the ones that are my home. Because I want to stay with you, but you have to be good for me too. Put your gun away."
He seemed to think that his story could convince her.

There was something off here. But what if he's telling the truth? There hasn't really been any clarity with his movements lately but it's nothing that suggests that he is an enemy. Just marry the damn man and take everything.

"So why are you here without any contractors or anything?", she asked, with a raised brow.

"Do I need them to drive me here too? Like I'm not the mayor of this town? I mean, you know I don't like taking them with me everywhere because of the type of businesses we do. And this, is one of them.", he said looking around the mine.

She smiled at him.

"That's ironic because the mayor of this town does, indeed need to have bodyguards with him, everywhere. Don't you reckon? Let's go."

Sergio took the gun from her and put it in his jacket. Then, taking her hands, he said, " When the dawn comes, when the light touches the land, flora responds no matter what happened before. Yet we are more complex than the simple bloom, than the plant that stretches confidently into the rays of each fresh sun. Yet after all this time waiting for gold to spill over the mountain peaks, for a new day to come, to feel real warmth once more - I find myself stretching into the direction of your sunny rays. I guess this is trust. It's been so long that the feeling feels new. Maybe it is. I guess that's a pretty sad comment on the state of our world, on modern culture and where it takes the human brain. Perhaps it takes this long on your periphery for that trust to come, as a shy kitten from a deep hole, unsure of what the brightness ahead promises. But I have a purpose, and you do too, one that is compatible and unique. I guess it helps that I love you. I guess this trust is developing as a photograph does, needing the light to come when the picture is well formed. I can see it already. I want it already. Yet I leave the timing up to the wisdom of the positive universe. If we only get one shot at this, I want the best one, and though the waiting is killing me, I'll do it if that's what it takes to get you and me right."

She cackled and replied, "There are lots of folks who can talk the talk, but show me a man who walks the talk - then I have trust, then I have faith in him because the language of Love is not spoken but lived. I don't care what you say, I'll watch what you do. That doesn't mean I won't love you or be your friend, but then it is I that will gently lead you and not the other way around. Show me my err and the roles reverse. You don't have to be perfect and neither do I, we learn together, catch each other, hold more ideals than we can live up to - yet keep walking even though all say the dream is only a dream. Dreams can come true, just dream the right one in the language of Love and know what it means - strong hearts, brave souls, complete and healed minds. Let's get married and have children of our own. And when you retire, I want to take care of you."

Aisha didn't know that such things were living inside of her. She surprised herself. 


The things that come out of my mouth in the spur of the moment. Tense.


"I always thought that trust must come before love, yet it is not so, for love and trust can arrive at the same moment. When love is given in this way, immediate, no explanations, the trust arrives too. Perhaps that is why people advise caution or call it foolish, but to me it never is. Love is love, always a gift from the divine spirit. This love isn't physical, it isn't a "sin" to feel such strong affections; it isn't an excuse to leave a relationship that has become difficult. Lover, this is a journey; I want to discover who you are. If I try to make you into some ideal given by others, I will never know your heart and soul. That would be a loneliness for us both. So let us drink from the same cup of life yet remain our true selves - two souls joined yet forever unique. This love is a clue to a possible new branch in a life. This new person maybe someone you will one day protect, rescue or nurture. So even though trust is so foundational to all human relationships, it doesn't always first, it can come as part of a sudden package deal."

"In that case Sergio, help me kill Isis."



Sergio.

Is this woman being serious right now?

A million thoughts racing through his head right now. He had to look like he was on her side. 

This is beginning to be dangerous. This is the stop light. A reason to pause and think. For in these times I remain quiet and let my creative problem solving do its thing. What does she mean help her kill Isis?

Every virtue exists on a spectrum with vice at either end, bravery sits between cowardice and foolhardy. In danger we reassess, take time, make no moves at all, and this is the brave choice. This is the right choice. Ideas

The paradox of our age is that when we feel the fear we need to educate us about the dangers of a polluted and frightened world, we are pushed down into our primitive brains - the part of us that evolved to deal with immediate danger requiring violent and impulsive solutions. When the fear leaves us, we are able to access our higher brain, the part of us with logic, empathy, self control and steady determination. By this time, however, that feeling of urgent need has passed, biologically we are back in "good times" mode and we fail to act with appropriate urgency. This is the paradox we need to fix. We need to be afraid without being frightened, able to use the higher brain while remembering a sense or feeling of urgency so we make the right choices.


Sergio leaned forward, his warm breath in Aisha's ear, then he hums the song they used to sing on karaoke nights, in Mexico. His lips, the ones that really didn't want to smile tonight, creeping into a fake grin. 
Sergio keeps on humming until Aisha takes him in a bear hug and kiss him. 
I'm sure she swears that I am an expert on keeping her heart beating, without me, I'm sure it would simply stop.


Sergio linked his fingers into Aisha's hand and she shot him a look that was all love, just the right hint of softness, a crease at the corners of his eyes. Both of them repressed grins as they walked into the mine.

Before the troubles it was a beautiful thing to be lovers, after all, how can two people who love be offensive? Not anymore. The bitterness has grown faster than the sidewalk weeds and the notion of "purity" is brandished worse than any weapon. It is the obsession of the powerful, what we commoners may and may not do. It's like they fear love itself, like it's love they want to put in a cage, convict it as an emotion too dangerous for the masses. So what now? 

If fun has to be the "right sort" it isn't fun. If music has to be "the right sort" it can't lift the soul. If "love" must be sanctioned by those in power, it will die and leave a hole in our hearts to be filled with hate and depression. It's no wonder young lovers are caught every week, shamed in the town square, and punished in medieval ways. Love is something we all need to keep us going, those that don't have any become the monsters of our nightmares, intoxicated on the power of the new order.

School entrance
—Son, you know what happens there is not a topic of conversation—.
-he said to turn to see him-
—Listen to this school is a new opportunity for you to start over—.
—Start again?—.
—Boy. . .there are times that life brings us things that you do not expect. . .that day we left the city is one of those things—.
-The one with curls just let out a sigh-
—And another of those "things" was the mother's death?—.
——————————————————————————————————
Hallways
-The young man let out a sigh of relief when he heard the girl-
—thank you seriously thank you very much—.
-This one was going to go but he stopped to look at the girl again-
—Emmm ... what's your name?—.
-The girl looked the other way to laugh slightly and respond with pleasure-
—Oh well my name is Doroty—.
—Well i'm steven—.

Departure "not bad for my first day"
———————————————————————————————————
What's up There is something I should have put into this
"The quotes in the dialogues mean sarcasm, joking, mocking or thoughts only that in the latter they would be two quotes, bone like that,
"" Sarcasm, joke or mockery ""
"Thought"
———————————————————————————————————
P.O.V Narrator:
After starting the first day with the right foot, the curly one waited for his father even though he could take public transport but his father did not let him. Why? . I really don't want to say I'm a narrator, not something else
-Meanwhile with our boy he was still waiting for his father, several minutes had already passed, he only let out a sigh-
—"and he won't let me use public transport"—.
-He thought frustrated since the wait seemed long to him so so that the wait was not so long or so boring he decided to sit on a bench that was there to put on his headphones / earphones to listen to music closing his eyes, he was calm until he felt the presence of someone-
—Hi Steven—.
-It was the blonde girl-
—I see that you are waiting for someone right?—.
—Well, I'm sitting here, bored and sleepy well. . .I do not know you tell me—.
—Well, don't you mind if I accompany you?—.
-I ask giving a smile-
—Ummm "God, not only is her laugh cute, but her smile is also .." Uhh. . .no no, it doesn't bother me—.
—Thank you—.
-the blonde sat down calmly-
—And who are you waiting for? If it's possible to know, of course—.
I hope my dad, for the record, I told him to let me use public transport but no, he's very convincing.
—Um, well . .I see good, so that the wait is not so long, what if we talk for a while, well at least until he arrives—
—Well, I guess it's better than waiting without saying anything, who starts?—
—Well. . .I suppose that I right? Well let's start with something simple, where do you come from?—
—Well, I was born in an empire city, and after that my story told alone. . .well that last forget it—
—Aha, I heard from that place because of what they say is dangerous, right?—
—Dangerous, full of criminals, full of danger, and blah blah blah basically is like living in a Gangster's movie—
—Ok, still, I am from here even though the weird thing was that I moved from house to house due to my mother's work—
—And what does she work on?—
-I tilt my head slightly-
—She is the principal of the school—
-He said tilting his eyes-
—Do not be surprised—
—Don't worry, I'm not surprised, it's not the first time I've met a friend who is the son of a teacher. . .well in your case it is taller but I'm used to it—
P.O.V Narrator:
Both boys kept talking and telling their anecdotes, the notion of time passed long enough for both of them to talk at last, what happened was that the laughter did not take long to arrive, perhaps this narrator was wrong but it seemed that both had known each other for good years. who knows?
Well continuing with the story, the boy's father's car sounded his horn to which Steven got up from the seat and left obviously not before saying goodbye to the blonde
—Well my transport arrived, it was fun talking to you, Dorotty, right?—
-The girl affirmed nodding her head-
—Yes, dorotty—
—I better tell you Dotty sounds very sophisticated as if at any moment someone would invite me to have tea—
—Needless to say, "" You don't like sugar sir? ""—
-said with a sophisticated tone the girl trying to hold back a laugh holding an imaginary sugar bowl-
-When looking at that, he followed suit with his cup of imaginary tea and tried to sound sophisticated-
—" "Thank you, Miss" "—
The laughter of both did not take a minute to leave since it seemed funny and at the same time, they looked somewhat ridiculous in short, the case is that when the curly one got into the car he got in with a smile reflected on his face which his father was realized
—Hum. . I see you did well Steven—
He said as he drove looking at the road, dah-
—What? because what you say—
-I was trying to act ummm, natural? or something like that-
—It was only regular—
—Well, I didn't see that when you were with that girl. Do you almost have a love, my son? Hey? Hey?—
-they were with a mocking tone-
—Haha that's funny, how do you say that I have a crush if I just met her? Besides, the only crush I had stayed in the city—
—And it's going to start—
-Stop at a traffic light-
—I hear you—
P.O.V Steven:
I won't remember much about her but I still remember everything about her was. . . Beautiful. . . nice. . .Intelligent and above all, she was braver than anyone else I have met if you ask me to describe her in one word. . .Beauty
I still remember when I said goodbye to her ..
Flashback:
About two years ago, we have a boy with curls when he was 14 years old, he was much shorter in height and a little more chubby, you know how that thing that happened on TV at certain times, huh? Anyway, he was at home with his things packed and about to get into the car, once inside there was no turning back
—Well Steven, it's time to go—
-He put his suitcase in the trunk waiting for the child but when he saw he found his son looking at what was his old house, he let out a sigh-
Steven..
—Why can't we stay?—
-Asked the then pre-adolescent with melancholy looking at the house-
—You know what happens here, it is not certain that you have a life here besides few people leave here we have the opportunity to start a new life—
—But here I have my life, my friends, a school nearby, you know how much it cost me to fit in there—
—Yes, I know and understand it but as I have told you, people who go through difficult things are more wise, you can fit in again— 
—But..— 
-Almost saying other words that in the same way would be useless- 
—Steven!—
-a female voice whose name is still unknown went with the curly one very quickly- 
—E-huh?— 
-I look at the girl with colored hair- 
—Wh-what are you doing here?—
—Well. . I just came to say goodbye why maybe I won't see you again— 
—Maybe and you're right— 
-He said sadly accompanied by a lump in his throat along with tears
—S-Steven, please don't cry—
-She with some tears also decided to make him a, let's say improvised memory so she did the following, she removed her necklace to be able to split it in half as she could since it was a very resistant necklace, in the end she made a necklace with half for him-
—Take, so that you remember me and so that I never forget you—
—B-but that necklace, wasn't it the most important possession of your family?—

—Well, it was, but that doesn't matter if you give it to someone you love very much.—
—"Someone you love very much"—
—"Someone you love very much"—
—"Someone you love very much"—
—"Someone you love very much"—
P.O.V Steven:
-I just sigh-
—Someone you love very much ...—

well, now the sinopsis:

Steven lives in a very beautiful city today he is in high school in his first year to be exact since he is new but he did not imagine that love would come to him when he least expected it he meets a girl named Doroty but they call him Dotty. Do you think that love will bring these two lovebirds together?

Well, they say that there is a "red thread" that joins two beings who are destined to be together ... right?



She returned from her evening run and headed to the kitchen for some water, her mind already anticipating the good soak she was about to get in the bathtub when she heard the phone ring. 

Tossing the empty bottle in the trash can,she walked towards the breakfast bar and took a deep breath before lifting the receiver of the ringing phone from the wall and answered. 

Hello,she said into the phone. 

Hello, Henny greeted a familiar voice. 

Papa! She exulted in recognition. Is everything okay she asked aware of the tension reflecting in his voice. 

Yes, everything is fine,her father answered unconvincingly. 

Can you at least be a little convincing if you are determined to lie to me,she asked him. 

Right. I'm sorry her father responded. I'm fine. Can you come home? He asked. We need to talk he continued hesitantly. 

Papa,she responded not quite liking the tone of his voice. 

Henriette,her father sighed. I know it's not the best time for you...not with everything that you've got going on and all that has happened. 

I know you don't approve Henri began cautiously. But this is my life and this is what I want. This is the path that I want to take. I'm not asking you to understand me. I just want you to support me. 

Henny, her father responded. That's not ... I'm not talking about that.. 

I know.. she cut in. I know you are not proud of the choices I have made but I thought we were past that. 

We are, her father replied. Honey,I'm so proud of you. I will always be proud of you he continued. I just... 

I love him Papa, Henri said by way of explanation. I really do. I just...I love him so much she said willing him to understand. 

I know,her father responded. I can see that. It's.... 

It's what? She cut him off. It's just that you can't understand why, she questioned him. 

Don't worry about it her father replied. It's fine. It's not my place to understand. 

Papa! Don't do this, Henri began exasperated. I don't want to fight with you right now. 

I don't want to fight with you either he replied, sighing. Besides, that's not why I called. 

What's up she asked. Is Tessa okay? 

She's fine her father hastened to assure her. We are both fine. I just really need your help. 

What's wrong Henri asked trying to stay calm. 

An old friend of mine her father replied. 

His nephew was in an accident and he's been unconscious for three months now. He's not getting better he continued. I have cause to believe an alternative treatment is his only hope but I need your help to do that. 

I'm sorry to hear that she replied the sympathy clear as day in her voice. I would love to help you but you do know that I can't just up and leave right? I have tons of responsibility... 

I'm certain Auguste wouldn't mind coming with you her father interrupted. 

He runs his own business and he'd go anywhere with you. 

I was talking about my job Henri snapped back. My work responsibility not my husband. The company needs me. 

You are right her father said in an attempt to make peace. But you already took time off work for your research and I wouldn't ask if it wasn't really necessary. Besides,you are the only one I know who's very invested in alternative medicine and the technology to make it work plus you are best in the field. You are my only hope. 

Alright Papa Henri conceded. Let me think about it. I'll get back to you as soon as I can. 

Thank you Cherie her father responded in gratitude. That's all I ask. 

Bye Papa she said sadly. I'll talk to you soon. I love you. 

Bye baby her father replied. I love you too. 

As soon as she hung up, she sighed loudly and contemplated ordering dinner or actually making use of the kitchen and making a simple home made meal when she heard the front door open and close. 

Honey? She heard Auguste call out. 

In the kitchen she replied. When he came in,she attempted a small smile and greeted him. 

Hi, how was your day she asked him ignoring the questioning look he gave her. 

It was really long he teased winking at her. I missed you he said sincerely. 

Looking at her feet, Henri replied him in a neutral tone. You don't have to say that she said finally glancing up at him. 

It's just us here. 

Henri... Auguste sighed loudly. Just because we are "divorced" doesn't mean I can't miss you. 

Why do you say it like that she asked sadly. 

Like what he asked in an even tone. 

You keep what I mean Henri snapped at him. Scrunching your nose and using air quotes like it's a foreign concept. 

Maybe it is he replied bluntly. 

Gussie...she sighed. 

Henya he replied matching her tone. 

What's gotten into you she asked clearly getting worked up. 

I don't know Auguste responded. Maybe I'm just upset he said blandly. 

About what she asked exasperatedly. 

Gee...I don't know Henriette he responded coldly. 

Are you mad at me about something she asked in a small voice. 

I'm not mad he answered softly. I could never stay mad at you anyway. 

Then what? She asked clearly not understanding the problem. 

Look Auguste replied calmly. I had a long day but it was a good one and I was so excited and really happy until I saw the look on your face. 

What look? She asked looking as lost as she felt. 

You know he replied still calm but the exhaustion was written all over his face. 

The "don't forget we are divorced" face he responded. 

There you go again with the air quotes she chided. Why do you do that she asked. 

Maybe it's because I still don't understand why you wanted a divorce he replied quietly. 

Why did you sign the papers then she asked just as quietly. 

I went along with it because of you he replied as if it was obvious. Because it was what you wanted. Because I have never been able to deny you anything you asked of me. 

Gus...Henri sighed. 

Fine he said. I won't talk about it anymore. We are still living together, so I forget sometimes but I'll try not to miss you. 

 Baby! Henri chided. It's okay to miss me. I missed you too. I'm sorry. 

It's fine he replied gently. Are you okay he asked seeing the tension in her posture. 

Not really she replied honestly. 

What happened he asked concern for her written all over his face. Are you hurt? 

I'm fine she hastened to assure him. Dad called she replied. 

Is everything okay he questioned again. Did something happen to Tessa? 

No she responded. She's fine. They are both fine. He wants me to come home. He needs my help with a patient of his. I told him I'd think about it. 

 There's nothing to think about he replied. Your Dad needs your help. He wouldn't ask if it wasn't important. 

I know she responded. I know it's shameless of me to do this but I was wondering... 

Of course I'll come with you he replied. I'd do anything for you. You know that right? 

Yes I do she answered with a smile. 

So,call him back he said. I'll call the pilot and then go get packed. 

Thank you she replied genuinely. I love you Gussie. 

I love you too he responded without hesitation. 

 By the time she ended the call to her father, Auguste had placed a call to the pilot and another to the cab company. 

Then they both packed their bags and headed upstairs to their respective bedrooms for a quick shower and a change of clothes. 

When Auguste came downstairs with their bags,he discovered that Henri had already ordered dinner. By the time they were out of the house,a cab was waiting to take them to the airport where their pilot was waiting. 

Soon they were seated on the plane heading to Los Angeles, California...

Sometimes what you are looking for, has been right in front of you all along.

John Adair once said "Think Outside the box"in 1969.Nowadays,the quotes was welcome as an encouragement for teenagers to work diligently.

An era where peoples enjoyed being pampered,while in the past wars broke out and teenagers was force to join an army while their lovers wait their unrequited love.

Being an orphan,Dante had not received any type of care.He had been enduring it all since he was a kid.No one befriended him because of his unusual and gloomy aura.

Therefore,all sorts of bullying from his peers came to destroy his life.

As he was technically a grown up mentally,he never shown any kind of care but inside he was in a loop of despair.

He wishes to fight for himself but scared to involved himself with the society.Once he made an appearance to present his class for a short story competition,he was embarrassed by his classmates when they unshockingly booed him.

The booed last for a few minutes and turn into silence when the mc came to silenced them.Dante haven't realise the booed because he was inside a prefect room where students usually make announcement.

He had stayed up late night memorizing the short story and expressing his feelings in front of the mirror like a masochist to reduce the boringness unlike the head master who talks like a robot.

Despite all that hardwork without even anyone noticing,he was still a subject to make fun of.After a few day,Dante unpurposely discovered a recording in instagram.The account can be access by students who had the teacher permission to post daily events and achievements.

Out of curiosity,he clicked the icon of the account and a familiar voice was played.Almost all the students who was recorded in the school hall where gathering was hold was laughing,giggling and grinning.Even the teachers seem to hold their laugh.

If god existed what will be his reaction?

Amused?

Delighted?

Astonished?

All Dante can think about was the definition of happiness.

"All my training,is it worth it if I don't use it to the fullest?I wish it was that simple haha"he shrucked after stating the sentences.

Once again he holds the pendant with his right hand.He closes his eyes before going to sleep.
