Shena smiled happily as she held her diploma tightly. Her heart was beating so fast with the sheer excitement felt. She has finally graduated from Senior High School.
She will only have to put up with being a part-time student for a few years. She is the Assistant Chef at their School Canteen because she is good at cooking. That is why she is the favorite of their Principal. She is known in their school for her diligence and intelligence.
Aside from the Chef Assistant, she also belongs to the Student Council. She is the Vice president on the campus, and she has put some efforts to organize events, together with the other officers.
Aside from that, she also helps gardeners, because she likes to take care of plants. She really doesn't know why she seems to be hypnotized by the beauty of the plants. She is the type of woman who love nature. It gives her peace, and it relaxes her when there are some problems that occur.
And at night, Shena works as a waiter at a food chain in the mall. Even though she is tired from work, Shena never forgets to play the Farming Game that she loves. She is just like other students who have fun. But of course no one knows that. Everyone thinks she is a grade conscious, hard striving student, but she is not.
Shena stopped in her mind and for a moment the smile faded, when she saw all the students there, had their own parents. Even though most of the student, teachers and her co-council congratulate her, she still can't forget to ask why this is happening to her, Where are her parents?
Yes, she almost gets the whole medals and awards, but she doesn't have a parent to hook her for those.
“Shena, do you want to join? We will have a party after our dinner with my parents.” Kate happily offered to me, the Secretary of the school council.
“Thanks, but I can't ... I still have work ....” she apologetically smiled at her.
She turned around immediately before she could speak.
Everybody pities her, even if they don't show it, she feels it.
Shena shuddered at the tears welling up in her eyes. She really didn't want to look miserable. Her pride was high, so no One saw her crying and became weak in front of the crowd.
Of course except when she was still in the Orphanage. She was the most crying and weak of all the children there. She was very grateful to the nuns there, especially to Sister Joy who was strict but very sensible.
Shena's heart lightened, and she smiled remembering her life in the foster home. She wanted to go back there, but she didn't want to be a burden.
Shena held up her diploma and happily looked at the dark sky. She closes her eyes and feels the cold breeze. It comforts her.
Shena went home first after escaping the invitations of the parents of her friend, teacher and even Principal Dr. Fontonalgo. She was invited to join a grand party at their house, but he refused.
She wants to be alone first.
Before going home, she bought beer and chips at a convenience store that he also knew the owner of. Fortunately, she was allowed because she was only 18 last year.
“Congrats Che” Roy the shopkeeper of the small store said to her with a smile. It's just near the house she's renting.
Che became its nickname for him.
She also reciprocated with a smile as he took the plastic bag and change it.
“Thank you, Roy ...”
As usual, its cheeks are red.
She knows he likes her. Even if the young man didn't admit it to him, She wasn't naive to not know that. Roy is a good-looking man, kind and also rich, but she doesn't see him something romantically. She never did.
“Che, maybe you want someone with you ... maybe if you close this store first, so you can have time ...” that wasn't a question, a persistent suggestion.
She shook his head and forced a smile.
“Don't worry Roy, you don't have to do that, and I also have a walk ...” she interjected.
“All right, I'm leaving ...” Roy would have said another word, but he ignored it and continued to go out.
Shena shook her head and looked down the road, but her eyes immediately widened as the truck approached without even a front light, so she could clearly see how hard it was for the driver to stop the Truck approaching me.
“SHENA !!!!!!!! She heard Roy's voice running towards, but it was too late before he could move. She held on tightly to her necklace that her parents had left to her before they left her in foster care.
She closed her eyes tightly because she felt very dizzy. Even her body seemed to be drifting in the water. She couldn't even open her eyes because she was so tired. Even she just wanted to let her body drown in emptiness and her body only thought she was tired.
She never once wondered if she was tired or if he wanted to rest for a while. Her time is limited, so she doesn't have time to think about anything else. But ... .for now she will tolerate.
‘Is this the feeling of death. You can't feel the pain, but it's dizzying as if you're pulled into nothingness. Memories from the time I thought until I died came back to my mind. My dream is just a dream. She will never be able to fulfill the dream she worked so hard for. '
She bit her lip at the same time as her tears flowed.
‘Deep inside I also dream of seeing my parents. I want to know why they left me alone. I have many questions for them that have not been answered. Likewise, I also dream of having a happy and big family. Not only that, but I want to give what I can give them. Furthermore, I want to love them with all my heart and so do they. Likewise, I also dream of someone who will accept me and love me with all my heart.'
Shena's chest tightened even more with the feeling. It turns out all the truth that she has been hiding for a long time. The truth is that she is thirsty for love.
She didn't realize that she had fallen asleep.
Hi Everyone Thank you for reading my story. Hope you like it.
“How is Damian?” A thoughtful man's voice awoke in Shena's spirit.
“She only got a bit. You shouldn't worry” She heard another man's voice. She doesn't think the two men are far from where she is.
“But why ...” Jigo glanced sadly at the woman who was still unconscious.
“Why doesn't she still wake up until now? Maybe you can look at her again if ...” Jigo interrupted what Damian was going to say when he looked at it seriously. Their only Doctor. Even though Damian's stare at Jigo was serious, it made him feel annoyed.
“Do you suspect my ability? I've been treating our Polar Bear clan for a long time, and now you doubt me? Maybe you forgot you weren't the first to find the woman. I may be her choice so don't question me like that. You're not the only one who's worried about the woman“ Damian said firmly to Jigo who now averted his eyes but had anger on his face.
“Tech” Jigo said annoyed and just approached the woman. It stared into every corner of the woman's persona. This was the first time he had seen them --- they had her snow white skin and her strange beauty.
Unlike women he see often, their brown skin, her nose is not pierced and her body is healthy. That is why they are very worried about the woman. Who's so thin like their is no bone in her body.
“Mm mmm ~” Shena just pretended to wake up because she really couldn't stand the deep stare of the man in front of her. She felt like she was being undressed by the stares of its erect feathers.
“Female” The man cheerfully calls her. Her forehead furrowed and she slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes widened when she saw the face of the man she had just seen so close. She froze and pushed the man with all her might. But he just ignored her strength and held her hand that was holding the man's muscular body.
She immediately blushed when she saw the man's very red and happy face. It looks handsome mad in his eyes.
When she looked at the man, she noticed how handsome he is. His short hair is white. The man's oval face is beautiful, it is sharp, its lips are red, its round and playful eyes are very dark, it looks normal except for the jewel on the man's forehead. It was purple and very beautiful.
“Do you want my rock? I'll allow you to touch it wherever you want” Jigo said happily as he noticed it staring at his forehead. His snow bear ear switch from happiness. Even though his jewel is as important as half of his life, he can give it to the woman.
“Ahem” A voice awoke in his amazement and immediately looked at the man who sneezed. He was even more dumbfounded and incredulous.
‘Very handsome!’ was the only thing on Shena’s mind.
If you look at the face of the man in front of her, he looks childish, or you can also say Playboy if you look. But the man who pretend to sneezed was different. Its wavy hair is also white, its thin lips are sharp and reddish, its face is manly, its somewhat sharp oval face, its sharp black color mixed with its red eyes and even more beautiful is the orange color that is almost shades of gold when dazzled by the sun. It's two snow ears are very high and proud.
Damian's heartbeat suddenly quickened to see how much the female was staring at him. He can't stop claiming it and being hers, but he can't break the policy of the Polar Bear Clan. They have to fight Jigo and whoever wins will fight all the single men.
“Are you hungry? I cooked some food for you” Jigo asked the female and examined her small body again. Shena immediately shook her head, but there were a few seconds of silence when they heard the loud sound of her stomach.
Shena blushed in embarrassment and touched ther stomach. Now that the stranger mentioned the food she immediately felt hungry.
*Chuckled*
Jigo laughed softly and Damian looked at her wickedly.
“Just wait, and I'll get the food” Jigo said quickly then ran out.
Even though Shena was not used to others cooking her food, she didn't just complain because she knew in herself that she was very hungry and her body was still weak.
Shena stared at her foot because of the awkwardness of the extreme silence.
“Which Clan do you belong to?” Damian asked just to make the female comfortable with him. When the female looked up, hee noticed that her eyes were light blue like a sky. It’s so beautiful and it seems to speaking to him. It is also easy to read what a female is thinking because of her eyes. Damian's heartbeat quickened and he cleared his throat.
“Clan?” Shena asked. In fact, Shena has been wandering around for a while. The strange hut house, strange equipment and the two men who exposed himself when she woke up. Their speech is strange as well as their faces. She is sure that the two men are foreigners. Their ears are so real that it's twitching like cats ear do. But how did she end up here?
“Ahh!” Shena sighed as she remembered what happened before the truck hit her.
Damian was surprised by the female's sudden sigh and immediately approached her. He saw how the woman trembled with fear as she hugged the body tightly. For a moment the woman groped herself. Damian was amazed at the rapid change in the female's face, he was worried.
She must have remembered what happened before he met her in the forest. The female must have had a bad experience, so that's how the woman's emotions will change. He then felt a little pain in his heart. He sat down next to the woman and calmed her down.
“I'm sorry for my sudden question” Damian said softly. Shena lost her variety of feelings when she heard the man's soft voice. Their eyes meet for a seconds.
“Sorry for the wait ---” Shena quickly averted her gaze. Damian, on the other hand, looked at Jiro. Jiro also glared at it wickedly and approached the female. Jiro laid the soup with protein in front of Shena.
“I hope you like my cooking!” Jiro said cheerfully. Shena smiled at him and nodded.
“Thanks for the food” She said. Jiro was momentarily startled and blushed very scratchy below the ear.
Shena picked up the bowl made of coconut shells. Shena sipped the soup which she immediately stopped. She glanced at the expectant man. So, Shena did nothing but swallow the soup quickly. When she finished, she simply leaned over and covered her mouth because she almost vomited the soup she ate.
'Bleehhh ... What food is that? Even worse like rotten food. I almost lost my taste in the inexplicable taste of the soup. Bleehh ... Can that be called soup. It was even more bitter than all the medicine I had tasted. This must be a poison! This is where I will die. Bleehh ... It's sickening !! “Shena only cried out in her mind.
“Is it delicious? Want some? Did you like what I cooked? My mother said I'm the best cook so the female who chooses me is definitely lucky. That's why I hope you choose me” It was like a child shy in front of Shena. Such behavior is what Shena cannot tolerate. She is weak when it comes to cute things or people.
“Yes it's delicious” Shena just agreed. Jigo looked at Damian happily as if insulting.
“Of course. I don't know your names yet, and I have a lot of questions to ask. I'm Shena” Shena's topic changed.
“I'm sorry, I'm Damian. I'm a doctor of the Polar Bear Clan” Damian immediately said that he had been silent since his companion entered. Suddenly Jigo stood up and confidence introduced himself.
“I'm Jigo the next Leader of the Polar Bear Clan. You see this stone on my forehead? This indicates that I'm stronger than the others. It's called a jewel” Shena blinked with a question in her eyes.
Embarrassed, Jiro stopped and returned to his seat.
“Polar Bear Clan? Jewel?” Shena asked. She even noticed that jewel thing in both of their foreheads.
'Am I really in another world? Why do I feel calm even though I am in a unknown world?'
