It's the 9th day of July, and this day is the last day for the students of Xue Yang University. The students and teachers enjoyed themselves and started to say goodbye to everyone. Everyone was happy because it was the end of the academic year. The school hallway was filled with the sounds of laughter, chatter, and footsteps. A place of new beginnings, excitement, and promise. A gathering of dreams and aspirations, filled with the potential to shape the future. A crossroads of possibilities, where the paths of our lives may cross and intersect, leading us towards new and unexpected journeys. A place where the walls of the classroom come to life, and the wisdoms of knowledge fill our hearts and minds.

"By the way Kiara, isn't tomorrow will be your birthday? Advance happy birthday" Feb said so her friends greeted her by clapping their hands.

"Let's go grab something tomorrow after the ceremony," Kimberly said.

"Guys, what are your plans for this vacation?" Jessa asked.

"It's our last day here; I hope we see each other again in the next school year," Kiara answered.

The warm breeze of the wind blew as they continued to chit-chat and enjoy the rest of the day at school. They watched movies and waited for the time to pass. The warm breeze of the wind carried with it the promise of new beginnings. The scent of freshly bloomed flowers and freshly cut grass filled the air with the freshness of spring. A gentle caress, sending chills down the spine and lifting the spirit. A whisper of hope and a reminder of the beauty of life. The warm breeze of the wind carries with it the warmth of the sun and the freshness of new life, soothing away the worries of the past and reminding all of us of the wonder and majesty of our world.

"Kiara, let's grab something yummy; I'm hungry," said her friends.

 "What should we buy?" she replied.

They go together to the canteen and go back to their classroom;

"Let's go back now".

While walking towards the classroom, my friends saw Kiara's crush and kept whispering,

"Hey, your crush!!! Yieeee!" Her friends teased her.

"Guys, stop it; he might hear you; it's so embarrassing," Kiara replied.

They passed by and acted like everything was just normal, but the truth is they were thrilled. Her friends keep telling her that they might be meant for each other. Kiara just smiled,

"Hahaha, bro, I'm not his type; also he might have someone that he admires. I'm just admiring him; if he meant to be mine then fate will find a way," Kiara replied while smiling;

but her friends know that she is hurting inside. A time passed, and Kiara and her friends cleaned the room before they went home.

"I will wish that we are in the same section next school year",

"Hope so, so that I can copy your answer," they laughed.

After cleaning, they closed everything, got ready to go home, and simultaneously walked.

"By the way, congratulations, Kiara; I heard that you are one of the achievers."

"Of course, she's so smart; I hope all," Her friends said.

"Hahaha. Thanks," Kiara answered. "But I will be going to my province; my mother told me that I'll be transferred there, so I will leave, but let's chat with each other and don't forget about me," one friend said.

"What?... You're leaving us; try to tell your mom that you want to stay," the other answered.

They suddenly felt loneliness and silence for a while. Everyone is a bit sad because one of their friends will not be with them this school year. They continue to walk and wait for a car.

"Bye everyone, I'll be going first; see you again around also in 4th grade," Kiara said while waving to her best friends.

She stops at a convenience store near their house and buys an energy drink. The bright sky suddenly turns gloomy and the rain slowly falls from the cloudy sky as the cold wind blows. As the rain goes strong, the thunder roars and it seems like mad. She sits beside a grandma while waiting for the rain to stop. Grandma has a chat with her;

"The rain is strong and I didn't bring my umbrella," the grandma said.

 "(Chuckles) Me too, every time I don't bring my umbrella it's going to rain but if I don't bring it it's going to rain," Kiara said while they smiled at each other.

"Here eat this candy it's sweet that it can make you feel like you in another side of the world," the grandma said and handed over the candy from her bag.

They continued having a chat, a time passed so the rain weakened, Kiara said goodbye to the grandma and ran while it was dazzling, she arrived and Kiara rested for a bit; furthermore, she washed and changed her clothes. After the maid she will help to cook for dinner, she started to cook for their dinner. The oil keeps splashing into her skin, which is why she keeps making bad expressions. She served the food then they started to eat together with her family.

"Me and our parents will be going to other countries to do some business for a couple of months," her older sister said

"So you two should watch each other while we're not here, if you need help ask the maids or the guards," their father said.

She watches and plays an online game before going to sleep, she keeps thinking about the event tomorrow because she thinks so much that she didn't notice that she got dozed. It's already in the middle of the silent and dark night when Kiara dreams about her in a beautiful place but suddenly a sound comes out then she realizes that she is falling into a high hole and she can't see anything else but darkness. Kiara fell out of breath and suddenly got unconscious, she felt like nothing had happened.

(What was that dream?, it feels so real, what's going on? mom!!!).

"Why are you so noisy what time is it already? " Kiara mumbled while her eyes were still sleepy.

A beam through her eyes, she saw a blurry shadow of a woman.

"Miss? Are you awake?"

......................

With blurry vision, with tired eyes, opening them to the world, slowly adjusting to the light, as the morning wakes around. A world of shapes and colors, comes into focus, one by one. The morning sun sets the tone for the day that's begun. Her eyes wandered around and saw a woman in front of her staring. But her vision is still blurry, also her head is aching.

"Miss you are awake, are you feeling okay?" the girl repeated.

She was confused about who the woman was. She lifts her body and keeps thinking about who that is.

"Miss, why you are not talking? Is something wrong?" the woman asked.

She asked for her name, the woman answered that she was Aria. She continued asking questions to the woman named Aria about what happened to her, she even asked where she was.

"Is this a dream or am I already dead?"

Aria was a little dazed by the question, but she answered the questions sincerely.

"No you're not dead yet, I'm the second child of the Smith Family. And what dream are you talking about? Did you have a nightmare? " Aria said.

"What do you mean this is real?"

"YES!!!"

Saying that is a bit shocking for Kiara, she keeps thinking about what has happened to her. She made a plan and thought that maybe she better adopt the changes but if it didn't work, she would act like she hurt her head. Kiara is who she is and she only remembers her first name. Aria is shocked by the question.

"Miss, did you hurt your head? Why did you forget who you are?...

"I think so"

"Miss, I didn't even know who you are... "

"Then let me give you a name if it's okay for you, starting from now on I will call Kiara, don't worry we will help you to find your family".

Looking around, the decorations in the room are too stunning, the design is stunning also it makes the room cozy. Aria claims that she is the second daughter of the owner of the house. Aria is still looking at me with a confused face. Kiara is still wondering where she is, and how she got there, she stands up and looks around the room.

"What happened to me?" Kiara asked.

"You have been in a coma for three days. Me, my brothers and sister were resting in the woodland after we finished camping, we went to the river to go some fishing but while we were fishing we saw you on the side of the river nearby unconscious so we urgently carried you back to our house and called a doctor to check on you. Don't you remember anything?" Aria questioned.

"The only thing I remember is I was falling from a high and dark place with small shining lights" Kiara replied.

The two were silent for a bit then suddenly someone spoke from outside the door saying that the food was ready,

"Miss, you should get changed and eat you haven't eaten anything for how many days... This is Beth, our most great maid she is going to guide and help you, I'll go first".

Leì Yì got up from the bed to wash her face and change her clothes then Beth led her to the dining area, as she walked closer to the room she saw Aria with her sibling and a guy, he was a good-looking man, the surroundings felt hot and the wind sways her hair, her face is getting pink like the peaches. She sits beside Aria, as they eat together Aria introduces her to his siblings.

"This is my brother his name up to me is Lucas, James, and Kaitlyn, Lucas is the eldest followed by Kaitlyn, Me and James" Aria told me.

"How are you feeling today?"Lucas asked.

"I'm feeling better" Kiara answered trembling.

"Good to know" Kaitlyn answered

"Let's eat first and continue later," Aria said with a smile on her face.

After they eat, Aria tours Kiara and has a walk around the outside and inside the house. They talked about life and shared stories.

"I've been living here with my family"

"Where are your parents? I didn't see them" asked curiosity

"Our parents are busy with their work, they only come home after a day sometimes a week" Aria answered with sad and teary eyes.

Kiara suddenly changed the topic in order not to Aria to be more sad, she thanked Aria.

"Thank you so much for helping me"

"It's nothing we're just trying to help others. We like to help those who are in need"

"What can I do to repay the kindness you gave to me?"

"Don't mention it... Since you still haven't regained your memory you can stay here until you can recall your memory, let's help each other"

"I'm okay with it but there's one more thing, I want to earn money also to buy my own needs but I don't know how I will get a job"

"If you want to find a job then I will help you".

After they looked around Aria wanted to show what it looked like on the outside. They went to the middle of the city. Kiara is amazed and can't believe what she is seeing, it was her first time going to the city since she didn't go out much. Roaming around the street and buildings and small or big markets, discovering new treasures, the hustle and bustle of a vibrant marketplace. Each store with its own story, and a special piece to tell. An antique here, a trinket there, a treasure to cherish, and the smell of the food, for a lifetime. The sound of the street, the bustle and flurry of a throng of shoppers, passing by in a hurry. A window display, a glimpse inside of a mysterious world waiting to be discovered. Inviting every passerby to explore. Aria showed her the big and famous industries and bought food and cosmetics. She even introduced Kiara to the people that were close to her. They both have fun looking for the goods they are selling and feeling the breeze of the wind in the street, boarding a boat, and a lot more things. Laughing and sharing stories whilst walking. In the middle of their happiness, they notice that the time has passed, it's getting dark, and the day is done, for the sun to slumber underneath the horizon. A gentle breeze caresses their skin, and with the night, begins to settle in. A cold sensation of the breeze in the street markets, as the sky transforms into a dome of stars. In this tranquil darkness, the warmth of a fire, and the comforts of home. A warm and cozy night. At a final glance, they decide to go back, as they go back to the parking they notice that someone is after them, they rush walking but there is another guy who stops in front of them. They got stuck with the guys who could not be identified because of their masks. I got terrified when the guy brought out a knife then suddenly he slowly approached us, he tried to stab us...

"ah..."

Both of them shouted louder, Kiara closed her eyes and covered her ears thinking that she was going to die. The sound of being beaten and punched is heard. Suddenly she opened her eyes and saw a man that looked familiar. The man punches the guys trying to harm Aria and Kiara just like the one in movies. Lucas called the police and got them arrested, he asked us if they were okay;

"Are you okay?" Lucas asked worried while panting

"We are okay and thank you I thought it would be the end of us, but how did you know that we are here?" her sister asked.

"I have something to do somewhere here and not a while ago I saw you walking so I followed both of you" Lucas answered.

Meanwhile, they both looked at Kiara as if she not saying anything, because of what happened Kiara just stood there like she was frozen her hands were kinda shaking. Aria comforted her for a few minutes and she went back to normal. The three of them go back home, and Kiara goes straight to the room that Aria gave her to stay in. On their way home, Kiara thanked Lucas for saving her life.

"Thank you for that"

"It's nothing"

"I'm just wondering, you're from a rich family but why do you live like you're not?" Kiara asked.

"Our parents felt needy in their lives, they don't want us to become spoiled brats"

"Even though we're rich enough we don't waste much money, we learned how to earn our own money"

"They send us to higher education and learn about business things to get a high status"

"In this city, everything is about business, richness, status and whatever that is connected to money"

"They even kill each other for their interests, the top and biggest business in the city is none other than the GRAYAN FAMILY"

"Grayan family has the biggest, largest and most powerful business in the city, my parent's company was also run by them, so our parents are like workers to our business even if it's ours"

"Every business that Grayan supports is like their puppets"

"There's nothing we can do, our lives and everything we have is because of them so we should follow them or else they will accuse us of being traitors and kill us," said the four Smith children.

"That's too much!!!, you said Grayan is the top, then who are the following up?"

"They were top 5 in the city, Grayan, Collins, Haji, Kai, and Lee, they both fighting for the top 1, the four different businesses are trying to make that Grayan will fall but they keep failing".

It comes out that every powerful and rich person in the city attempts to be the greatest, they even try to kill or destroy their enemy's primacy. Grayan Family, the highest one is the most endangered among others. For the safety of the Grayan successor, they didn't announce the heir of the family.

Not a while they already reached out to the mansion. They and both tired and exhausted from what happened so they go straight to their rooms, Kiara fast asleep. In the morning they gathered together in the dining room to have their breakfast. After eating they go to the garden to have some fresh air. Aria told Kiara that their parents let her into the school where they were learning. Kiara was thankful for the kindness of their family.

"The school will be starting tomorrow, so let's go all to the mall and buy our things," their sister Kaitlyn said with a smile and excitement on her face.

"By the way, we are going to the center to buy something that we use this coming school," Kaitlyn said

"What is your grade level or you've already graduated?" James asked too

"I'm already in a senior high" Kiara responded

"Which means you are 17 or 18 years old like brother Lucas" Aria thought

"Yes, I'll turn 18 on the fourth day of November" Kiara answered while smiling.

Aria her siblings, and Kiara washed and changed to go to the city to buy their school supplies and have some fun.
