Prologue
"....and you may now kiss the bride" the priest finally said
The groom and bride kissed each other as if no one was around them and was lost in their own created world, seeing this heart warming scenario the crowd clapped their hands to show their best wishes to the newly wedded couple.
Nova was bored as she watched from the side while softly clapping her hands
Their story ended at last, a lot of twist and turns happened, the leads broke up a couple of times but still get together in the end, it's a long and tiring, running and chasing type of a story.
Nova turn around and started making her way out of the church
It's the two hundred and fiftieth door she entered and her hundred and ninetieth wedding she attended.
For her the beginning up until the c****x are the only exciting part in every world, when the end was approaching, it will start to get boring which made her want to jump to another world as soon as possible but she has no choice but to finish what she started since the door will only open again at the end of the story.
While everyone in the church started to disperse, taking their own cars to go to the reception, Nova walked her way back to her starting point.
'when did it all started?' Nova asked herself as she looked up in the sky trying to reminisce the past that is starting to blur out of her mind
--------------------
In a huge spacious office there seated a big bellied man looking fiercely at Nova
"Why didn't you just give in? its such a big project turn into a waste just because of your stupid pride" the man said to the timid woman whose head remain low and was just looking at her own feet as if it was the most interesting thing in the whole wide world.
"Listen to me, go to Mr.Uy right this instant and apologize, if not, then just pack up and say goodbye to your job because you will be fired for insubordination. Now get out!" after the big bellied man bellowed out to the woman, without a word, she stood up, bow down to her boss and then took her leave
As soon as the door behind her finally closed, the lowered head of the woman was finally raised and as if nothing happened she walked leisurely to the office, went straight to her cubicle and started packing up.
She will never apologize nor bow down to that stupid lascivious w***e of a man.
Might as well die of hunger and unemployment than let someone step on her dignity.
All of the colleagues present and has seen her packing up were secretly sneeking a peek at her, as if watching a spectacle or a movie right before their eyes.
They probably knew the whole story already and yet no one even tried to defend her nor helped her out of the crisis, even those women whom she defended from the hand of that lecherous man that cause her to be in this current state maintain their silence and didnt bother standing up for her.
Well, no one was to blame but herself, her sense of justice never really do her any good.
What was that again? the saying 'Those who do good will be rewarded'?
although she was not expecting something in return to all the kind things she had done, but still Nova cannot help but to be disappointed, she didnt want anything in return really, she just wanted a stable and simple life, she just wanted to maintain the life she already had, is it that hard to keep?
Instead of good things that was promise to those who do good, what comes to her was nothing but problem and a complete mess in her life.
After packing up, she immediately walked out of the office and out of the building.
Those whole duration of leaving the place she had been working for four years, no one spoke nor even gave her a word of goodbye.
What can she expect, even she herself, doesnt really have that much of an attachment in there.
They are really just a colleague, nothing more, nothing less, their interaction was more or less all about work, she never attended anything that is not work related, especially those that will not really give her any benefits in the end such as team building, christmas parties, outings and many more, that maybe the reason why no one really approached her that much.
But she doesnt really cared about it that much cause she enjoys spending her time in her own personal space, she maybe alone but she never felt lonely to be honest, because she is an introvert, a special case at that since she never tried to overcome it nor did she made an effort to make friends.
In her mind, human interaction was all just problems and headaches, might as well be alone and enjoy a peace of mind.
When Nova arrive just across the street from her house, she stood there and look left and right, making sure no cars are passing by.
When she saw that the cars are still too far and at a very safe distance, she decided to cross the street.
Unluckily, a book fell down from her box where she put all her office materials, it is a very unfamiliar book she never think she had but nonetheless she still pick it up.
At that moment when she was trying hard to bow down and pick that fallen book while still holding that big box that was filled with her things, the car that was still far away awhile ago keeps getting closer and closer.
The driver of the car was also distracted due to being on a phone call with his wife, they were arguing about something that he didnt notice that a woman was blocking the road.
When Nova finally got the book, before she can even stood up straight, all she remembered was so much pain on her back, her head spinning, then everything went black.
Nova, single since birth and was just fired from her company, had instantly reach her demise at the age of 26 due to car crash.
