A Mystical Destiny

Chaoter 13 - Her Old friend

Klasy's parents, Noli and Marie Collin, are not only known for being among the richest dynasties in the country, they are also known for running the biggest charities. They hold major quarterly charity events which are joined by the largest corporations/taxpayers and even famous personalities.

The second charity event for this year was joined by some senators and other family friends. Klasy decided to go when his father sent her as representative. He had to fly to Malaysia for some business. She was planning to come anyway because she didn't see any actors or models in the list of benefactors.

"Your cousins will be there as well. I'll be coming from the office, so let's just meet in the children's home." Her mom called her early to say that. She refused to call it orphanage, she prefers the term home.

"Sure, mom. I'll see you there. Love you!"

"I love you so much too, sweetie. Bye for now."

Klasy prepared her things. Usually, if they have events like this, it finishes late because her parents like to be the last people to leave the event. They would sometimes have dinner with the staffs of the orphanage and even talk with the kids. They enjoy those things.

She arroved early in the orphanage house, and she was immediately greeted by the kids. She's not a stranger to them.

"You're glowing today huh. Did you finally start dating?" Alyssa, her cousin, asked her.

She gave her a smirk then jokingly flipped her hair to give a vague answer.

"For real?" She pulled her in the arm when she tried to go to their other cousins.

"Let's talk some other time about that. It's so busy here." Alyssa giggled as she got a confirmation that Klasy is finally dating.

The children are eating when she arrived. Most of her cousins are present. Fritz, Don, Claire, Renz, Hosims and Alyssa were assisting with the distribution of food. She can't see the government officials who are in the benefactor list. They probably just sent someone to represent them.

She said hello to the kids using the microphone. She announced that her father would not be able to come bevause he's in another country right now. She already expected their reaction. The kids love his dad a lot. He visits this orphanage almost monthly just to check with the kids. He's actively looking for trustworthy people to adopt the children as well.

"But mom is on her way. I heard she has lots of gift for you. Enjoy your food and then let's play some games later!" She ended her speech with that.

Klasy is happy to see how the scale of their family's charity grew big. The children are well-dressed and getting the education they deserve. She approached Don and Hosims who are feeding some kids with disability.

"Yo!" They greeted her.

The kids are delighted to see her. She is literally gracing the whole place.

"Ms. Klasy, can you tell Sir Noli that I got a very good stamp from my teacher this morning? He told me last time that he will buy me chocolate if I got it." A little boy came rushing to her.

She smiled and gently held the kid's arm to look at the "very good" stamp.

"Should I take a picture and send dad? Too bad he's missing so much!" The kid nodded and he posed for her camera.

"Great!! Here look! I'll show this to dad and will tell him to never forget about your chocolate. He will be delighted you're doing great in school. Keep it up, okay?" She patted his head.

"Ms. Klasy, you should tell him to take a bath regularly too. He always tries to skip!" One of the kids joked which made her laugh.

"It's just lole Klssy when she's a kid. She hates taking a bath when it's cold." Don teased her. She gave him an annoyed look which made the kids laughed more.

"That might be true, but you don't have to tell the kids. You should take a bath when told by the staffs, okay?"

Hosims assisted the other kids. Some are already playing. The teenager kids are excited for the basketball tournament later.

"I heard you're dating Theodore?" Hosims sneakily asked her. Her brow raised.

"Everyone's asking me about dating. Are you that obsessed in getting me into a relationship?"

Hosims brow raised too.

"Your standard is too high, I guess you finally found your match. Not even Paolo, you really went after his brother." He speaks as if he knows Theo personally.

"You know him?" She got curious.

The kid in front of them are listening carefully to them.

"We all went the same school, and he's quite famous." But she never heard of his name before. She might be really focused on academics back then.

"Oh I see. He's just a friend."

"Good to hear that. I like Paolo more for you."

"And why?!" She asked almost sounding offended. She realized there's a kid in front of them.

"Oh sorry." She laughed awkwardly and asked if she wants more food.

"You're really dating Theo?" Hosims asked impressed.

"I said he's juat a friend." She even rolled her eyes in annoyance. He's probably saying he likes Paolo more because he hasn't met Theo.

"Okay, I understand that yoybare just friends. Just friends, nothing more. I complete got it." He sarcastically answered.

Klasy pinched his arm while smiling at the kid. He shouted which made the other kids nearby looked at them.

"That hurts!" He shouted like a kid.

"Lower your voice. I don't care if that hurts! You're annoying!" She whispered on his ear.

"You never grew up! Still the sassy kid that..." Before she could pinch him again, he immediately went away from her. She ran after him, but he was fast. The kids are laughing at them.

When her mother arrived, the cupcake-making competition started. Klassy fondly watches her mom cheered for the kids. Almost 30 kids participated. Mea while, there's a basketball tournament going on for the teenagers. Some of her cousins are watching and hyping the kids. Most likely, they would join in playing too.

"Klasy?" A familiar voice called her name from behind.

She turned and saw a tall guy who's wearing eyeglasses. He's wearing a formal white long sleeve and slacks. Her eyes widened to recognize the man in front of her now.

"Pierre! Since when were you here? I thought you're still in France!" He is one of her closest friends in college. 

"I came back last month, and got busy right away so I was not able to contact you. I didn't know we'd meet here." He's excitwd to see her again.

"I am more surprised, Pierre! You look more handsome now. What did the air in France do to you? I think you got taller and bulkier too!" She can't believe her old friend suddenly appears.

"But why are you here?" She asked. 

"My uncle sent me here to represent him." 

They conversed for a moment before Klasy's mother called them to assist the kids. Klasy was taking pictures while Pierre bring more icings for the cupcake they are designing.

After the event, Klasy went with her mother for dinner with the orphanage staffs, her cousins and other volunteers. Pierre was there also.

"Long time no see, Pierre. How's life?" Fritz, Klasy's cousin, asked him. They belong to the same faculty before.

"It's been a while, Fritz. A little busy with life. How are you?" They fist bumped when Fritz sat to the chair next to him.

"Life us just passing. Work, travel, study. We have a lot of catching uo to do with Klasy." She heard her name and she knew right away they would invite her to bar.

"Definitely! By the way, I saw Karyl's post last week. Good to see you two still together."

"We toughed it out. I can't believe too we're still together. Let's plan our next travel. Klasy, you know the drill." She gladly answered and hyped them.

Marie was having so much fun talking with the staffs. It's the joy of her life, to engage with people. She seems to master that thing.

"Are you enjoying the food, sweetie?" She saw her daughter laughing and talking with her nieces and nephews and the guy sent by Senator Ysmael.

"Of course, mom. It's really good. Enjoy yourself too." Klasy is now tipsy.

"I hear your name wherever I go. You wanted to be a model before. and you really became one. I'm proud." Pierre suddenly became serious. He raised his glass for a toss.

"For the woman who's crazy for all her dreams." They had a toss and Llasy finished her glass at once.

"If you think about it she's a bit insane for real," Renz commented after. Her cousins love teasing her.

"I guess it runs in the blood, Renz!" She commented.

"You haven't changed, Klasy." Pierre looked at her with those admiring eyes. Everyone was shipped for Klasy back in their college days. She did not only become more beautiful, she became a really graceful woman. Pierre cannot take his eyes away from her.

"You're right. Pierre. She used to turn down every man before, she's still the same now. I'm afraid for her parents, they'll never see her get..."

"Fritz, please. If you're going to start talking about that we can go home now." Klasy stood as if really prepared to go home.

"She has the highest standard," Claire bluntly said. She's giving her a sharp look, but Klasy couldn't care less.

"I remember her telling to her suitors that she wanted SUGA from BTS. She's crazy!" Claire said loathing. They will be thrilled to know she loves BTS now more than ever and SUGA is still her standard.

"That's all in the past. For sure now, more men are lining up." Pierre said as he sipped from his glass.

"But she's a born anti-romantic! Let's agree to hold a party when she finally gets herself a man."

"Maybe she doesn't like men. Everyone, we have to open the possibility that she night like women. It's okay, Klasy. Didn't Uncle Noli tell you before he's ready to meet whoever you're gonna take home and introduce to them? You got really cool parents and all..."

"You're not ready for the man I'm taking home. It will come. You don't have to worry about me." No one is trying to save her now, so she's doing it for herself.

"I guess the dating rumors are real." Allysa kept talking about it.

"Her company just denied it." Pierre answered.

"Okay you had enough dissing me. It's Pierre's time to shine now!" He smiled at her and pulled the chair close to her. He's admiring her lile he did before and he cannot hide it.
