Monica - "Who are both of you? Where do you taking me to? Help! Some stranger is kidnapping me!!!"

Stranger 1 - "Be quiet!"

Monica - "Let's me go! What do you want? Money?"

Stranger 1 - "Miss Monica, we need you to come with us right now. This is important!"

Monica - "Enough! Let's me go!"

She was trying hard to escape from the two huge man.

Monica -"If you really need me to, then you shouldn't take me forcely! I'm not a package! What?!!!"

Stranger 2 was frustrated, he then lift Miss Monica into the car.

Stranger 2 - "We need you to cooperate with us. Stay quiet or we'll kill you."

Monica - "Let me go!"

Stranger 1 - "Just follow us and stop struggling. Someone was in hurry to meet you."

Monica's thought - 'Are they going to kill me? No way! '

The view of the outstanding building caught her eyes as they arrived. She realised something.

Monica - "Wow! Isn't this the highest building in England? Who is this person?"

They have arrived.

Stranger 1- "Miss Monica, please."

Monica - "Oh, I can get out myself."

She hurriedly came out of the car and looked around. It was difficult to not be surprised.

Stranger 2 - "Hey, come. Don't waste his time."

Monica's thought - 'Tsk, who is this person? Why he so eager to meet me?'

They went to the top floor and there a old man was welcoming her presence.

Stranger 3 - "Welcome, Miss Monica. It's been a long time ago since I saw you."

He greets her with a gentle smile.

Monica frowned. She did not know what response she should be giving.

Monica - "Who.. are you? "

The old man giggled.

Stranger 3 - "Ha, I know. You won't even recognize me."

Monica - "Then, did.. I know you?"

He stood up and looked at her with gentle look, smiled and slowly walked towards her.

Stranger 3 - "No.. "

He laughed.

Stranger 3 - "I.. I've been watching you."

She was shocked, quickly backed herself from him and glared at him.

Monica - "Ew, are you a stalker? Why're you watching me?"

He was speechless. His eyes widen eyes as his smile got bigger. He laughed at her questions.

Stranger - "Hoho, I'm.."

Monica - "Hm?"

Stranger 3 - "Actually no."

He showed his hand to her, expecting to kiss her hand like a gentleman. She slowly lent her hand on his hand. Slowly, he looked at her eyes and kissed it softly.

Stranger 3 - "Let's me introduce myself. I.. am the International President."

He smirked, looked at her and smiled.

Monica - "If so, why you're kidnapping me? Isn't a president supposed to support and cherish its citizens?"

International President - "Well, that doesn't matter right now. Right?"

Monica - "Why you.. brought me here?"

He then walked to his table, tapped his finger on it and simply sighed.

International President - "Not much, I.. just impressed with your exam results."

He was unbelievable. She giggled hard, she looked at him and started to have a doubt.

Monica - "That's all? Everyone out there can score higher than mine. Why don't you kidnap them too?"

Hearing that, he smiled as Monica glared at him.

International President - "Hahaha! As I thought, you definitely different, Miss Monica."

(Confused) Monica - "Haha, I don't understand why. As the president, would you mind explaining to me the reason I am different from other?"

International President - " Simple. You got all the qualities."

Monica - "What about that? "

International President - "Didn't that is obvious? You've got an extraordinary kindness but strictness still be seen in your actions. "

Shee looked at him with angry eyes. She bit her lip gently and looked around. Her situation was a bit odd.

Monica's thought - 'Is this some kind of a prank nowadays? I should be careful.'

She took a deep breath before she face him eyes to eyes and yelled.

Monica - "Liar! Enough with this nonsense! I am getting out from here!"

She walked towards the door but some guys were preventing to until he nodded. Giving a sign that it was fine to let her go. Even so, his secretary ran after her.

Stranger 4 - "Hold on! You can't get out as you wish, Miss."

Monica - "Why do you said so? "

Stranger 4 - "There's a little trick on this building that rough eyes can't see. You won't find a way out if you just gonna walk around like that."

Monica - "Oh, I see."

She approached her as she seems to be unshakeable. She grinned and smiled.

Monica - "I'm sure that isn't a problem. I am quite smart, you see."

She smiled. The woman looked at her and sighed.

Stranger 4 - "Apologize for being rude. I'll introduce myself."

She looked at Monica intensely. She slowly bowed down to Monica.

Stranger 4 - "My name is Lisa. I am his secretary."

Monica's thought - 'Tsk, acting all cool.'

Monica - "So, Miss Lisa."

Lisa - "Yes?

Monica - "Do I..need to know you?"

Lisa looked at her.

Lisa - "That.. that's."

Monica smirked.

Monica - "Well, whatever! I'm Monica."

Lisa - "I know, you're the one he's been looking for. Now he finally met you.."

Lisa stared at her, did not even spoke of a word. They both were so awkward.

Monica's thought - ' Why is she keeps staring at me?"

Monica - Ahem.. So, are you gonna ask me something? You've been staring at me for a while."

Lisa - "Oh, did I? Pardon me."

Monica - "It's okey."

Lisa - "Well, it's indeed true. I.. simply want you to decide."

Monica - "Decide?"

Lisa - "Yes. I'll be giving you some options you have, Miss Monica."

Monica was confused of what options will come out from her mouth.

Lisa - One, it is simple. Just sign the contract with the International President. Two, get yourself a way out. Which one?"

Monica giggled.

Monica - "Second choice,of course. Just let me out. I want nothing to do with this."

Lisa - "What a shame. You chose the wrong option."

She walked away from Monica as she said something else.

Lisa - "Think about it. This will be or soon your way anyway."

Monica - "I can find the way out myself. This is easy!"

She smirked. A smile for victory.

Two hours later -

Monica - "What is this place? I keep getting around this place again and again. Ha.. I'm so tired."

She caught a glare at a bodyguard close to where she was standing. He seemed out of his shift and just brought something in the small plastic bag. As she looked at him, those two finally got eye contact.

The guy - "Hm?"

The guy's thoughts - ' Isn't she..?'

He stopped and took out a bottle of water. He drank it completely. She was shocked and called out the guy.

Monica -" Water! Hey, a guy over there! Help me! I need watttrerrr... "

She fainted.

The guy - "Miss Monica, are you alllriighht?"

Monica's thought - 'What is this guy saying? I'm so tired. Damn, I think I'm gonna passed out. '

 - Continued

Monica - "Ouch.. My head hurt."

She blinked her eyes as she already at an extravagant looking room. She was on her guard.

Monica - Huh? What.. is this place?"

She looked around. It's a huge and spacious room and not to mention, this room covered with a lot of shiny stuffs. Those stuff seemed expensive. She was so absorbed with looking at the room, she did not realised the guy was calling her name.

The man - "Are you okay, Miss Monica?"

She was blushing.

Monica's thought - 'The hell?!! I passed out in front of a stranger. He seems nice?'

*Looked at the bedsheet. Turned around and saw the bottle of water that seems to be brought by the guy.

Monica's thought - 'Did he take care of me? Even though we didn't know each other. The hell, Monica.. You kept on receiving his help and this is so embarrassing.'

*Looked at the guy.

Monica's thought - 'Hm... I have to thank him anyway. Maybe I can help him too so, that I will not be a burden."

Monica - "Hmm.. Ahem.. Thank you..

The man - "Hmm, I am sorry?"

Monica's thought- 'I think I'm gonna die from embarrassment.'

Monica - " Thank you for helping me."

She looked again at him . She was confused when she saw this guy. His hair was black and his eyes was so sharp. Like an eagle. His poker face with well built body match with the black tie and suit. He looked like he was taking care of himself well. She glanced at him and he was just standing there.

Monica's thought - 'So, whose room is this?'

Monica - " I am sorry but who are you exactly?"

The man gave her a smile. Even it seemed like he did not know how to smile without looking scary.

The man - "My name is Alex. I am a bodyguard. Earlier you fainted so, I took you to this room and have you treated by the president's personal doctor."

Monica - "Alex, huh? Okay, did the doctor says that I need to be hospitalized?"

Alex - "Hmm, no. Why?"

Monica - " Because I don't want to."

Alex - "Are you totally fine? Sit down."

Monica - "I can't stay long here, the checkup bill must be so expensive since it's the personal doctor from the president."

Alex laughed.

Alex - " You doesn't need to pay it. It's completely free since it's yours.

She seemed to be very confused about what he was saying but chose to gave an awkward smile.

Monica - " Oh, thanks. I'll be leaving now, like right now and this instant."

Alex - "It's okay. I will tell the president for you."

Monica - " Thanks. Wait what? No.."

Alex - " Hm.. Okey?"

Monica - "I'll be leaving, don't tell him."

He smiled.

Monica was relieved.

Monica - "Thanks. You're a nice person."

Alex - " I see. What makes you think I am a nice person?"

Monica looked at him.

Monica - "Because if you're really a bad person, you won't help me. So that means you're a good person."

He was surprised.

Alex - "You're sick actually."

Monica - " Oh, haha. I do but I'm fine."

Alex - "And why did you came to school then?"

Monica - "I have to."

Alex - "Then, why you didn't find a job?

Monica - "Huh? I'm only 18. What job will that suit me? I don't know anything than studying."

Alex - "Don't worry. I think there's a job that suit you well."

Monica - "Huh? Really, there is one?"

Alex - "Yes, I think that it may suit you."

She frowned.

Alex's thought - 'She doesn't looks confident. Is she worried?'

She sighed.

Monica - "Hearing from what you say, I don't seem confident. Is this okay? This is totally scarier than being kidnapped actually."

Alex - "Yeah, trust me. It's a golden opportunity in a lifetime after all."

She smiled at him and suddenly she remind about the incident with the man who called himself International President. What a joke.

She smirked.

Monica - "Who is that old man? How dare him to do a prank like that? Telling someone that he is the International President."

Alex laughed and then suddenly he went on the serious bodyguard mode. He looked seriously at her.

Alex - "That man really is the International President. Those two who brought you here are his personal bodyguard."

Monica - "What? So he was right?"

Alex - " Yes, I'm afraid so."

Monica was dumbfounding. She was done for.

Monica - " Oh my god.. Someone please wake me up! Please tell me this just only a prank or just a long dream. But no way that this is just a dream yet, I don't believe it. Oh my god! I already yelled at him."

Alex - "What? You yelled at International President!

She nodded.

Alex - " Well, did he tell you?"

Monica was nervous.

Monica - " About what, Alex?"

Alex - "You'll be the one who replaced him."

Monica - "What!"

Alex - "Hm, he sure missed out that part."

She completely shocked.

Monica - " What?!!!"

Man 1 - "Mon..."

Monica turned around. She looked around her. Suddenly, her face was completely gloomy. That person...

Monica's thought - 'Should I say hi? No. I think I should slap you! No, I should punch him right in his face. No, there will be too soft. I still remember you!'

Badump.. Badump

Monica - "Why are you here?"

Her mind was filled with confusion and curiosity. He smiled at her and looked at her with happiness.

Man 1 - "I am glad you're also here today, teacher. It's a long time since I last saw you."

-Continued

A drop of water came out from her eyes. The man got confused, suddenly came close and hugged her.

Monica - "Carson, sob.. Sob.."

Carson - "Please, teacher. How could you meet me with a tear at your eyes? Are you that happy?"

He smiled at her.

Monica - "I am sorry. I mean.."

She wiped out her tears and let go of his arm.

Monica - "So, did you study here too?"

She looked around in hope to find a figure she was looking for.

Monica - "Carson.. Where is your girlfriend anyway right now? Are you.. still with her?"

He laughed.

Carson - "Yes, of course. I mean.. Well, actually I don't know where she is because it's been 3 months since we last talked."

Monica's thought - 'Wait, he still.. Haha.. Wow, that hurts a lot! It's like putting salt on my open wound.'

Carson looked like he saw something weird. He kept looking at something.

Monica's thought - 'Is there something at my back?'

Carson - "Is that your bodyguard?"

She turned around to see Alex was standing behind her and glared at Carson.

Monica - "No, he's just one of my friends here. So, you are studying here too?"

Carson - "Umm.. No actually. This is one of my vacation trip and I came here with some of my friends."

Monica - "Oh.. Sorry for disturbing your vacation then."

Suddenly, a sight of some people were at the hall. They looked like they were searching for someone. She glanced at them and for instant she knew who is it. They looked at Carson and began calling out his name.

Monica - "It seems like your friends are calling for you. Well, it's kind of nice to see you and do enjoy your vacation here."

She then quickly want to walk away. She was hurt.

Carson - "Hm.. Wait! Umm, can I have your number? I want to know some interesting place or anything that about this country from you. Well, you know it's my vacation here."

She seemed sad.

Monica - "Ohh, sure you can. You definitely loved it because I will tell you where is the place that you should visit."

He looked excited. His eyes shone brightly.

Carson - "Thanks a lot, teacher and.. Oh, sorry if I caused you a lot of trouble."

Monica - "Hmm. It is okay because we were teacher and student anyways. Have a good day."

He walked away. Her tear dropped, she gave him a smile from afar and did not realised that Alex actually noticed that. He approached her.

Alex - "Hmm.. Miss? Why are you crying, Miss Monica?"

She was embarrassed, quickly wiped her tears and looked at Alex.

Monica - "Huh, I am crying? It just a happiness tear."

Alex doubted that. She laughed out.

Monica - "See, it's a happiness tear. Oh, my. I have to go to toilet for a while."

He was confused. Step by step she walked, drop by drop of her tears kept falling on the floor. She was unable to hold back her cries. She still in love with him. After a hour in there, she finally calmed and washed her face. She then looked at herself at the mirror. What an ugly face. What an ugly body. She said to herself she was so ugly. She washed her face off again.

Alex - "Why are she taking too long in the toilet? Hm.."

She finally came out.

Alex - " Miss Monica, are.. you alright?"

Monica - "What are you worried about? I am totally fine."

Alex - "Ohh! Okay? Oh, I just remember! You're going to sign the contract with the International President tomorrow."

Alex's thought - 'Hmm.. She does looked totally fine or maybe I'm worried too much about her.'

Monica - "Maybe I should talk with her. Where is my phone? Huh! Here is it."

Mon - 'Hi Mia.' 21.00 a.m.

Mia - 'Hi too, Mon.' 21.00 a.m.

Mon- So how is ur relationship with him?' 21.01 a.m.

Mia - 'It's just fine, of course.' 21.01 a.m.

Mon - 'Oh! Good to know. So, where's the country that you lived now?' 21.01 a.m.

Mia - 'I lived in Malaysia of course. I'm not studying abroad. Like you..' 21.01 a.m.

Mon - 'Oh, I thought that you were studying at abroad. Sorry, it just a question. Bye.. 21.02 a.m.

She sighed.

Monica - "They are meant for each other. I shouldn't interrupt their relationship besides, I just one of his admirers and not even his lover anyways."

This is a triangle love or a fight between Mia and Monica but is Mia's feeling is true?

Man - "Sorry, I will come home late again. Don't wait for me, okay. You should get a enough sleep. Take care,honey."

Mia - "Okay, dear. I knew that. You also take care and don't think about work everytimes."

Bip..
