Falling helplessly

Chapter 2 Weird Feelings

On her way back, Evelyn thought about Emmy and her sweet life. By 7 PM, she was in front of her room, which she shared with another girl named Lulu, who was in her second year. She said hi to Lulu and took a nap.

The hostel consisted of two bedrooms for each unit and shared bathrooms. Each bedroom was furnished with beds, study desks, and wardrobes. The shared bathrooms had modern facilities such as showers, toilets, and sinks, ensuring that students had all the necessary amenities. Each bedroom also included a TV, and there was a kitchenette equipped with basic cooking facilities like a microwave and refrigerator, allowing students to prepare their own meals and snacks.

After her nap, Evelyn entered the kitchenette to prepare the chicken she had bought on her way home. She also made French fries to go with the chicken.

She went to bed early, wanting to attend the orientation the next morning. Evelyn was studying law, and it had been her dream since childhood to become a lawyer.

One week later, Daylan was on a flight returning from Italy to Dar. He planned to surprise his girlfriend, Emmy, as he hadn’t told her he was coming back. He returned to complete his degree at the University of Dar, where Emily studied. He was starting his second year, studying business administration like Emily, but he was already further along in his studies.

His parents knew about his return and supported his decision to switch universities, understanding how much he adored Emily and how difficult it was for him to be away from her.

Emily and Evelyn were at a restaurant near the university, enjoying breakfast. Everyone in the restaurant was staring at Emily, stunned by her beauty and charm. Evelyn was used to the attention since they had been visiting this restaurant for a week, and people seemed to focus on Emily, making her the center of attention

“You're getting a lot of attention! What if they knew who you really were?” Evelyn asked.

“I won’t let them know. If my father didn’t expose my identity in high school, that’s when you all realized who I was,” Emily replied with a laugh.

“What if I tell them?” Evelyn teased.

“I'll forgive you,” Emily said, laughing again.

Just then, Emily's phone rang, and she felt excited to see it was Daylan calling. He asked where she was, and when she inquired why, he abruptly hung up.

“He hung up on me? Is something wrong with him?” Evelyn suggested she call him back.

As Emily was about to call him, a tall, incredibly handsome man walked in. He had smooth brown skin that glistened in the sunlight, and his features were perfectly symmetrical. His deep-set eyes sparkled as he smiled, revealing a set of perfect, straight teeth. He had a strong, athletic build, with muscles rippling beneath his skin, exuding strength and confidence. His outfit perfectly matched his charisma, leaving everyone in the restaurant amazed and captivated.

Evelyn, particularly stunned, dropped her phone in shock. Her heart raced faster than ever; she had never seen a man so strikingly handsome, not even on television.

“No, he is not human. He must be an angel; he can't be real,” she concluded.

At that moment, Emily screamed, “Dylaaaan!” and jumped into his arms, hugging him tightly.

“Emily…” he began.

“Don’t talk to me,” she said, still wrapped in his embrace.

“I'm so sorry, Emily. I only wanted to surprise you,” he said with a smile.

“Don’t be sorry, i***t. I'm glad you’re here,” she replied.

All the while, Evelyn was wondering if the man Emily was hugging was indeed real or just an angel. She refused to believe that Daylan was real and even considered hugging him to confirm his existence, but she questioned how hugging him would prove he wasn’t an angel.

“I’m going insane, for real,” she muttered.

Daylan joined their table and ordered only lemon juice.

Daylan joined their table and ordered only lemon juice.

“Evelyn, meet Mr. Daylan, who I've told you about almost every day,” Emily said with a smile. “And Daylan, this is my best friend Evelyn. We’re both first-year students; she’s studying law.”

“Nice to meet you, Daylan,” Evelyn said, extending her hand. To her surprise, Daylan avoided shaking it.

“Emily, I’m exhausted. I need to rest. Let’s go to your place,” Daylan said, clearly trying to avoid Evelyn.

Emily couldn’t say no to Daylan, so they left together, and she promised to meet Evelyn the next day.

Later that night, after all her classes, Evelyn lay on her bed, unable to get the image of Daylan out of her head. She couldn't stop thinking about him! She remembered how he hugged Emily back and the way he avoided shaking her hand. The image of Daylan leaving the restaurant hand in hand with Emily lingered in her mind.

“Lucky her,” she muttered.
