Journey to Fate

The fun begins

"I know it sounds so stupid and unbelievable, but you are actually someone’s bride," Ara said.

"But how? Why didn’t Mom tell me?" Tivia asked.

"I am sorry to tell you this now," Ara said.

"No, it’s okay. At least I know that I have a man that will be by my side," Tivia said.

"Who is the person? Tell me, is he tall?" Tivia asked.

"Yes, very," Ara replied.

"Okay, is he handsome?" Tivia asked.

"Yes, he is. But there is a little problem," Ara said.

"What? Don’t tell me he is dark-skinned," Tivia said.

"He is in a coma," Ara said, as Tivia was shocked.

"What? How did he get there?" Tivia said, concerned.

"It is a long story," Ara said.

"But I believe soon enough he will be out" ara added a s they enter the house

"Good evening, Mum and Dad," Tivia said as she hugged them. They had been waiting for her at the dining table, so immediately they all began their dinner. Tivia acted normally. She acted as if the truth was still hidden from her.

"And how is your work going?" Tivia's mum asked.

"Well, it is going well," Tivia said as she drank a soft drink. Then she remembered the invitation to meet at the city restaurant tonight.

"Oh, no — boss is going to get really mad," Tivia said as she quickly finished her meal. She left the house and ran to the bus stop. As soon as she reached the bus stop, a heavy storm began to fall down. Tivia couldn't get a taxi, neither could she go home

She decided to inform Mark that she was not coming. Mark was busy waiting when he received the message.

"I understand, but the rain won't stop us from having a date," Mark replied.

"What? Which date?" Tivia asked.

"I know you are still surprised. For what you saw at my office, and also I am sorry for kissing you. I once heard that kissing helps to remember the past. I was only trying to bring back our hot high school memory," Mark said.

Tivia replied, "Lol, who told you that? And wait, we attended the same high school?"

"Yes, James High. I used to have a deep crush on you. I studied engineering, so maybe that's why you didn't notice me. We were in different classes," Mark said.

"But how come you notice me?" Tivia asked, smiling.

"Because I had a crush on you ," Mark said

Tivia smiled.

“So what are you doing?” Mark asked.

“Nothing much, just sitting under the rain,” Tivia said.

“What, under the rain?” Mark said in shock.

“No, not actually. I’m under the rain, but I am just safe,” Tivia said.

“I hope you are not cold,” Mark asked her.

“Not really,” Tivia said.

“That is a relief,” Mark said.

“About what you saw, beauty, it’s just that my mum wants me to marry, but I don’t like her. My heart is set on you,” Mark said.

Tivia remembered what Ara told her, that she is betrothed.

“em, I got to go,” Tivia said as she cut the call.

“What is happening to me, am I falling for him?” Tivia asked herself.

“I am betrothed to someone. What do I do, should I still wait or move along?” Tivia said to herself as the storm slowly stopped. She walked home, confused.

The next day at work, the most important people at the company held a meeting.

Mark announced the important reason why the meeting was held, and finally he revealed something surprising.

"I have an announcement to make. I have found a new love from this company," Mark said.

"Oh no, hope he is not trying to do what I have in mind," Tivia said, shocked. Mark smiled because he had just read her mind.

"And this love of my life will be given a high rank. She will also be given respect, just as I have been given. The person is..." Mark said as Tivia closed her eyes.

"Ohh, God please save me," Tivia said as Mark said her name. Most of the people suspected it, but few like Beauty were shocked.

"I am giving Tivia a rank just below mine. She will be called Second Boss. Anyone who disobeys her order disobeys me. And I’m sure you know what follows when you disobey me," he said.

Tivia was mortified.

_"What is he trying to do? Is he trying to make me the enemy of every worker in the company?"_ Tivia thought as she looked around and started reading the thoughts of the people nearby.

_"Oh, she’s so lucky. I wish I had that opportunity,"_ a female dispatcher thought.

_"This lady who came into this company like a cleaner has now become our boss,"_ the check-in lady thought.

_"I thought he was going to call that madam know it all, Beauty,"_ the assistant manager thought.

_"Oh no, this lady is taking my position away. I need to act fast,"_ Beauty thought.

_"What? Please try to understand, I have nothing to do with your position, and I don't want your man, you can keep him to yourself," Tivia said to Beauty, who was sitting opposite her. Beauty was shocked.

"Was I saying that out loud?" Beauty asked herself.

Tivia angrily faced Mark.

"Hey you jerk, are you done now? Soon enough I will have people who are trying to get rid of me," Tivia said in her thoughts, glaring at Mark as he laughed.

"Hey jerk, you better stop reading my thoughts, or I will make you regret it," Tivia said in her thoughts as Mark laughed again.

"Fine, you are trying to act stubborn, but I guess you should have looked at the mirror very well before coming to the office. You look like an escapee drunk," Tivia said.

Mark slowly looked at himself and, as a matter of truth, he was off. He quickly called off the meeting and ran out of the meeting hall. Tivia laughed in an evil way.
