A New Life

"Colombo! Yes, it is. Ultimately, my dream came true"

Colombo is the capital of Sri Lanka. It is the executive and judicial capital and the largest city of Sri Lanka by population.

Colombo is often referred to as the capital since Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte is itself within the urban/suburban area of Colombo. It is also the administrative capital of the Western Province and the district capital of the Colombo District. Colombo is a busy and vibrant city with a mixture of modern life, colonial buildings, and monuments.

When Kaylee woke up in the morning and was thinking about what to do first in Sri Lanka, she suddenly remembered that she should get a new phone number. But she still couldn't figure out who Marie was with at the airport last night.

When she told her parents she was going out and came out of the house where she was staying, it was a feeling she had never known. It cannot be described. No matter how many countries she visited, she had never seen such a beautiful environment.

Although she was in an urban environment, she also heard the sweet chirping of birds. No matter how much money she had, she realized that there was a beautiful country full of things she had never seen or experienced.

She thought of going to the phone shop by car with her driver, but she decided to walk because of her desire to enjoy the beauty of the surrounding environment.

When she was in this country, she knew that she was a free, problem-free person.

As Kaylee reached the shop, she saw a tall man standing in front of the shop. He looks helpful. She thought of going to him and telling him if she needs help. "Excuse me, can you help me please?"

"Yes, how can I help you?" The guy responded.

WOW! He is a nice person.

When the person who helped her asked if she would like to come to look around after work, she readily agreed.

"Ok then we will meet at the park tomorrow in the evening and I will take you to my favorite place in this City" The guy displayed.

"Sure, I will take permission from my parents first" Kaylee conveyed.

Kaylee left to go home.

She went home and told her mother everything that happened. After a while of talking, Kaylee finally got permission.

Remembering that the person who helped her while she was at the store took her new phone number, Kaylee was hoping for a message from him. By noon she received a message from an unknown number saying "Hello". As Kaylee expected, she found out that it was from her new friend today.

"Hey, you, you are the person who met me at the store right ;)" Kaylee texted.

"How do you know that?" the guy responded.

"I know that. OK, what is your name?" Kaylee conveyed.

"I'm Shehan. What about you?" The guy answered.

"I'm Kaylee," Kaylee displayed.

"Wait a minute. I think I have heard that name before. By the way it's a nice name" Shehan conveyed.

"Oh! Don't worry. There are a lot of people who have my name" Kaylee expressed.

"Yeah yeah you are correct" Shehan reacted.

Kaylee just wanted not to be a famous person among her new friend as she was expecting a new life.

"Tomorrow is the day" Kaylee remembered.

"Oh! I'm sorry, I have to go off now. Mom calling me. Meet you tomorrow" Kaylee told Shehan and went offline.

At night, Kaylee began to look for awesome locations where she lived.

Moratuwa is a large suburb of Colombo on the southwest coast of Sri Lanka, near Dehiwala-Galkissa. It is located on the Galle-Colombo (Galle Road) main highway, 18 kilometers (11 mi) south of the center of Colombo. Moratuwa is surrounded by water on three sides except for the Indian Ocean to the north, the Bolgoda Lake to the east, and the Moratu River to the south.

Kaylee came across some descriptions of a wonderful lake in Moratuwa and as she read them and looked at some pictures of them, she wanted to go and see them.

'Bolgoda Lake in Moratuwa is the largest natural lake in Sri Lanka. It is a tributary of the Black River and originates at Adams Peak and is a popular resort for swimming, diving, and boating. The Bolgoda lake stretches from Ratmalana through Moratuwa, Panadura, and then across the Moratu River until it meets the sea at Wadduwa and Moratuwa'

She was sad because of one thing.

She was sad because the things she expected had changed. She didn't tell anyone, but she had high hopes for Gabriel. But he and his brother destroyed everything. She is still wondering what their big secret might be. She only hated Payton and salilus in her whole life and Kaylee still had hope for Gabriel but she also hated him a little.

Before going to sleep, she remembered to call her friend from the new number as promised.

"Hey girl, how are you doing?" Kaylee spoke.

"Hello, can I know who are you please?" Marie questioned.

"Haha Marie, it's me, Kaylee. Here, this is my new number" Kaylee expressed.

"OMG Kaylee. How are you? Where are you now? I missed you a lot. I hope you are doing fine. How is Srilanka? Marie showered Kaylee with a bunch of questions.

"OOO I'm doing fine. If you are with me, you will not want to leave this country. It is very beautiful here. You know, I also found a new friend. People here are very kind" Kaylee answered.

"Oh! I wish I will visit there one day. Wait I think it is night. Why aren't you sleeping now?" Marie displayed.

"I will sleep later. I'm searching for some details about here and thought to chat with you but I will sleep after chatting with you. By the way, why aren't you sleeping now?" Kaylee conveyed.

"Oh! Ah! Did you forget something?" Marie expressed while laughing.

"What was that?" Kaylee questioned.

"Sri Lanka is 3 hours and 30 minutes ahead of France in time" Marie answered.

"Oh Oh I almost forgot. Marie, we will talk tomorrow. I have to go to bed now. Seeya" Kaylee displayed.

"No problem. Yeah, we will talk later. Seeya. I'm happy you chatted with me today" Marie answered.

"Same here Marie" Kaylee conveyed.

Kaylee wanted to ask Marie about last night, but because it was bedtime, she had to stay silent.
