102. FAREWELL; LAST CHAPTER

Days passed by...Winter started to leave paving its way for the spring.

   I  worked with Miss Fowler for almost two months until we submitted our projects last month. I think the results will be out soon.

   I wonder how is Miss Fowler these days. I don't miss her. In fact, she will be last person who I can miss. She is a stubborn. I don't judge people but the woman is nuts. She can roast you with her words like some fire roasting meatloaf in intense heat. But I still think that she is honest, straightforward and coo...Someone is calling me. It is Miss Fowler. Speak of the devil.

" Hello...", I say.

" Myra, it is me, Seirra ", she says.

Yeah, I know...How can  I forget you?

" Hello, Miss Fowler.", I say.

" Yeah, yeah. I wanted to say that we lost the competition.", Miss Fowler.

  " No, why? I thought our project was better than others.", I say.

" Don't make a big deal out of it. ", Miss Fowler.

" Honestly, I want to say something. You are worst Miss Fowler. ", I spat.

" I know...But we can work again together on another project. If you want. Anyway, we will still earn because of it as it has been launched in the market. So, I will sent you sendy regularly. ", Miss Fowler.

I don't say anything and hang up. She irritates me.

ONE DAY LATER:

Dad has booked my tickets. I am going to III via plane. It is on the mountain of a small town called Parroa. Parroa is a beautiful state. I want to go there as soon as possible.

" Have you packed your bags?", Mom.

" Yeah...", I say.

" Your father wants to give you something special. ", Mom.

My father enters the room.

" Give me your hand.", Dad.

I hold out my hand and open my palm. Then he places some keys and a debit card in my hand. I look at him for an explanation.

" These are farewell gifts. I bought you a car and flat. The flat is near college. You don't have to live in dorms anymore.", Dad.

" What about credit cards? I  already have one. ", I ask.

" I saved money for you in two accounts. " Dad.

" Okay, thanks.", I say.

" No, thank you, Myra. Thank you, for giving me another chance. Thank you for making me father." Dad.

I can see tears in his eyes. It is getting too emotional and I can't handle it.

" Anyway... I want to drive this car...But I don't have license. " , I say.

" So what you can keep it here. We decided to keep this house as it has too many memories. You can drive your car as soon as you have your driving license.", Mom says.

AFTER A WHILE:

I am in my room. I am packing some remaining  things. I don't believe this. I am going to be a college student. I will miss this house. After all, I was always at home. Before Claire I didn't have any friends. My pranks, arguments between me and my dad....

   I have destroyed many machines in this house. Someone is calling me. It is Claire....

" Come downstairs. We are here.", Claire.

What is she talking about? I walk towardsthe  dining room.

Oh my God. Why are they here?

" We are here to see you off..." Claire.

" But I am leaving tomorrow. ", I say.

" Yeah, we know but we can't come to the airport to see you off. You are leaving at 5 a.m.", Lily.

" Yeah and Claire is not  morning person.", Lucas.

" Speak for yourself..", Claire.

" Yeah that's right.", I say.

" Let us call Serena. ", Lily.

" Yeah, that will be great. ", I say.

" I wish Sam had come with me but he had things to do. Well, let us call Serena.", Lily.

Serena picked up the phone. Lily gave me her phone to talk to Serena.

" Hello, how are you?", I ask.

"I am fine. What about you?", Serena.

" Great.", I say.

"Congratulations on your admission. ", Serena.

"Thanks. ", I say.

" Oh, my God. You two are robots. ", Clair.

" Shut up, Pumpkin Princess..", I say and all people start to laugh.

   Friends are a vital part of your life. They make you laugh, they make you sad...But in the end, they are like spices of our food without which our food becomes tasteless and bland.

----+++++-----+++++

IN THE MORNING ; AT AIRPORT:

" I will miss you, dear. ", Mom.

" I will miss you as well. ",  I say.

" What about me ?",  Dad.

" I will miss you too Dad. ", I say.

"I have to leave...Bye Mom,...Bye Dad...", I say and go inside the airport.

 I remember when I came here see off Serena. It was a disaster.

" Hey...", Sam.

"What are you doing here?", I ask.

" I think you forgot...  You weren't only one who received scholarship at, 'III'....", Sam.

" No, it still does not clarify all things. Why are we here together?" I say.

" Because your father bought tickets for me. He also bought me a flat. I refused a lot but he said that it does not matter as he is giving up all of his assets. ", Sam.

"Where are you going to live?" I ask.

" I am going to live right opposite to you...Your father said that it  would be good for us to live near each other. ", Sam.

" Now I remember why I hate that old man...", I say.

" I like him. He is very cool. ", Sam.

" Whatever, stay away from me.", I say.

" We can't we have live together forever after marriage. ", Sam.

" Sam...Just shut up before I murder you. ", I say.

As usual, Sam laughs at me loudly. God, I want to throttle him right now.

-----++++++-----

I think that is what life is all about. Life moulds you  into something completely different. It changes your heart, your personality as well as your thinking. Now I don't think I hate people.  That is why people say ' It Was All Fate'...
