What will you do if the truth that you know is a lie? How will you cope if the person you love is forbidden? How will you accept if the person you trust is the devil? Will you continue the current path or will you turn away? Will you run or will you face it? When Ayesha is in the middle of crisscrossing destinies, she is forced to take a step. A step that will either sweep her in turbulent tides or in ravishing whirlpool of trials where the ending is never known.

Merging Destinies

        "Umm, Mr. George?" she softly said while raising her hand.


	"Yes? Do you have any questions?" he asked while immersing himself in his teacher role.


	"I have classes at University today and I can't do what you are asking me to do" she attempted to reason out.


	"Dear, I am not asking you rather I am commanding you…" he tapped the stack of books in front of her with force.  "I am not doing this because I wanted to help you. The Young Master gave me an ultimatum. If you can't pass the exam it will have a bad impact on his reputation. Once that happened…" he looked at her menacingly and sliced his neck with his thumb.


	Ayesha was afraid not because of the threat but because of Mr. George's face. She never thought that the likeable uncle will have a terrifying face like that. 


        "O…o…o…okay. I…i…i…I will do m…m…my best" she stuttered.


        Seeing that his threat was effective, Mr. George went back to his "likeable uncle" personality. He smiled and told her "That's good dear. Good luck!" while raising of his thumbs up. Then he left the library.


         Ayesha sighed in relief after seeing Mr. George left but was shocked again when he popped back in the door.


         "Y…y…yes?" she's still terrified.


         "Nothing dear. I just wanted to take a look again at my star student" he jokingly said then left.


         Ayesha looked at the door for a few minutes preparing in case Mr. George wanted to scare her again. But he did not come back after 3 minutes. When she was sure that he will not come back, she heaved a sigh in relief. 


          "I never thought that he could be that scary. What kind of place is this? Is it a yakuza? An underground syndicate? Are they going to sell me by covering it with a test? Is the examination an exchange of goods and I'm the goods?" she shuddered at what she came up with.


          "I better go to my dad and tell him" she tried to comfort himself. Deciding what to do next, she briskly walked towards the greenhouse.


           After she arrived, she slowly walked on the largest pavement and looked around for her father. She saw him in the flower area picking up flowers. Once she spotted him, she quickly ran to him while calling out to her father.


           When she's face-to-face with him, she grabbed his right arm and whispered "Dad, we need to talk about Mr. George and Dante. They might be part of an underground syndicate"
