My Novel-like Story

Wei is in his thought thinking where to invest when his first visitor came.

The man was surprise to see Saamantha with a bag of fruits in her hand.

*You,,, don't look at me like that. My brother did this to you so it's normal for me to be here.

Already taking out the fruits from the bag and place them on the table.

There's no reason to think much for Wei to;

*Then thank you for coming. You know, you're the first to come so it's somewhat special. Well, can you please give me two pieces of banana. My day won't be complete without eating at least three pieces.

Hiding her joy with a straight face, went to pass two pieces of banana.

Coincidentally, the same young nurse came in with the day's breakfast.

Assuming that the two people are lovers, left the room to give them privacy.

*Why did she leave? How should I suppose to eat?

On Saamantha's side, she's smart to guess the reason and was happy to;

*I'm here so why are you complaining?

With doubt to look at this classmate with just one subject as he;

*Are you sure? Because you know, we're not that close so it should be a little awkward.

But was simply;

*Then why did you include me with one of your conditions? For that, I finally can go and study abroad.

*Well, goodluck for that. Like I said, you deserve freedom because you're a good person. You know, it's very rare for someone to be both beautiful from in and out. With that, I would like to be your friend. As you can see, no one came to visit me because I have no real friends here. If I have a friend like you, it will be my blessing.

The word friend, it's not good to her ears.

But still accepts it for the meantime for her to;

*Then let's exchange contact information.

Said the words as she take out the the lastest smartphone of the year.

The man saw this and was not shy to show his old keypad phone.

Save the beauty's number first before giving his own.

After that, Saamantha really went to prepare the food to the place where he can reach.

While eating, the two went to talk about things until they came to;

*... By the way Wei, I heard some news about you. They say that you won't be the same again after an injury: become weaker and slower. Is that true?

Hearing the words, things become clear for Wei.

He went to smile shaking his head saying;

*Both true and false. It's true that l will not be the same again but won't become weaker and slower. Skills will diminish but talents are permanent. Like you who's gifted with beauty, will still be there as you age. This accident, reminded me of what kind of world we are living. And the best place to live is where your family, friends and relatives are. So when you go abroad to study, put some extra care of yourself. Choose your friends wisely and watch out for those foreigner playboys who are masters in attracting innocent girls like you.

Saamantha is not that kind of person that interrupts but she can't help to;

*Huh,,, do you think I'm a fool to be fooled by those trashes?

*Well, I know you won't fall for that trick but it doesn't mean that you're safe from other deceptive means and lowly ways to get a beauty. I suddenly understand why your father doesn't want you to go abroad.

*Really, then you're both thinking too much. I'm goiing abroad to study and not to fool around.

*Hehehe, that's remind of the fact that you don't like to attend parties and other gatherings. Well, I believe that you will handle yourself.

*Of course I can handle myself. Anyway, I saw Eva with someone else and looks like they're dating. Did you break up or she's doing the two-imer thing?

Hearing the last sentence, the man can't help to;

*Hahaha, when did her and I start to date. It's true that she took the initiative but I made it clear to her that we're not from the same world.

*Not from the same world? What do mean by that?

*Well, it's very simple. She's from a wealthy family and I'm not. With the kind of lifestyle she has, how can I keep up. Although she said she doesn't care, time will let her see the truth and eventually break up with me. So at the very beginning, I drive her away. And by the way, I know the guy she's dating,,, a guy from rich family.

Saamantha seems that she doesn't agree and directly;

*Do you see every girl from the rich family like that?

The tone, Wei knew that this girl is a little angry but still, he went to say;

*Yes. But don't take it negatively because that's the reality. At the end of the day, money become a need, even next to oxygen, in order for human to survive. So if ever I want to marry, the best wife candidate is someone who grew up from poverty like me. Someone who can live with me even of life is so simple: happy and satisfying.

The man become talkatively honest to say these words and all of a sudden;

*You,,, you're unreasonable. I hate you.

It seems that seventeen years old is not mature enough for Saamantha to react like this.

She even left the room crying after saying the words.

As for Wei, he's dumbfounded.

Soon, he realized something so went to pick up his phone and send a message saying;

"Saamantha, we are still young to expereince things in life. One day, you will understand everything so don't rush things. No matter what happens, you will be my friend."

An eighteen years old boy talks like a grown up to write this kind of message.

There's the sent notification but didn't receive a reply...
