Chapter 32 THE STRUGGLE

“ It does in all sense, Aims” Destiny added with a smile as she drew closer to her.
Aims stumbled back a little and stood frozen again. Destiny on the other hand just smiled at her expression. “ No need to be spooked.” She said as she reached for her hand.
“ Everything makes sense because I was in existence before you were born, Aims... I am your destiny~ don't we look alike?” She softly added.
Aims did not doubt their resemblance but her mind just couldn't accept what was going on. This was something totally unbelievable.  But then, if this is really her destiny– shouldn't she be at comfort in life?; why all the pain then?~ she had a lot going on in her mind.
“ If you really are what you said you are, then why I'm I going through all this?” Her mind was in a fog. “ Isn't it too much?~ Ain't I better off dead?” The words finally made their way out, and tears spring to her eyes.
“ No...don't say that.” She instinctively cut her short. “ Don't say that, Aims. I know how tuff things are for you at the moment but know life never offers good things on a silver platter~ just as you struggled through that tunnel before getting here; that's how we'll have to fight ahead to gain whatever you cherish in life.” She offered an explanation. 
“ So you saw everything ?” Aims asked, looking surprised and confused. 
“ Yes...” She said with a nod. “ I know whatever is going on except your decisions in mind~ are you going to give up?” She sighed as Aims just stood frozen in in-depth thoughts with no exact answer in mind.  Destiny glanced at her for a moment and drew her into a hug.
“ Don't let these things in your life break you or prevent you from moving higher, huh?” She said, her lips curved in a smile with a spark of assurance in her eyes. “ Stay strong and fight for your happiness and your future...you have a lot of great things ahead.” Destiny added as she faded along with her last words.
Aims who later caught on, noticing her fade away cried. She still had a lot of questions to ask~ too many to let go. “ No, wait...” She desperately cried. she wished to hold onto her a little longer but then, it was too late to do that.
“ No~ please...come back!!”
Aimscious shouted as she shot out of sleep, panting heavily. For an instant, she felt fully awake, her eyes swiftly scanned around for her but then realized she was all alone in her room. 
The room was dark, but the curtains of her window were pulled back, casting a bluish light into the room. As she oriented herself to her surrounding, the words of Destiny kept echoing back to her, “ Don't give up~ you need to fight on.” 
With these words, she pulled her thoughts and herself together. “ With the wake of another morning, everything is gonna be okay...let's fight till our last breath.” She said with a faint smile and returned to bed, pulling the sheets over her head.

Henrietta and Henry had retired to their rooms with Lilia as well who did the same after seeing Kingsley off. As she strolled past her parent's room, she heard them mumbling so decided and to take a listen as well.
“ She can't go back to Dream Town...” She heard had her father's voice echo as she eavesdrop on them, leaning in on the door.  “ I want her to continue her studies here and plans are far advanced as well.” 
“ Calm down, honey,” Henrietta said as she dropped a book on the nightstand and settled next to Henry who pulled her into a cuddle. “ I think we should give her this one chance to choose for herself on this, Luv~ I think she is old enough to know what is good for her or not.” She opted for an explanation in an attempt to convince him although Henry didn't look so convinced.
“ Secondly, Aimscious is also there. We've all heard about her situation– it's fair enough if Lilia is around to keep her company since they've been friends from childhood, huh”
Henry who was convinced at this nodded. On second thought, he had in mind that would be best for both girls so he gave in.
“ I guess you are right.” He briefly said. “ She can prepare for her journey then...I'll speak to the authorities and also get our house down there ready.” He added and Henrietta hugged him with a smile.  
“ Thanks, Luv,” She said and he nodded, placing a kiss on her forehead as they cuddled to sleep. “ Goodnight...” He whispered and she tilted her head. “ Sweet dreams”
Lilia was filled with excitement as she returned to her room. She couldn't wait any longer to put her plans into action. A sinister smile evaded her looks as she settled in bed.
                                            ***********************
Earlier than ever, Aims was already up and preparing to set off from the house for her entrance exams at SCHOLARS UNIVERSITY. She can't risk  being late for such a test. As of 4 am, she was awake and dense on her revision.
 It's 6:45 at the moment and the test was to kick start at 7:30 am, the school is about a 30-minute drive from her house. As she got ready to set off, a ring from her cell drew her to a halt, she instinctively reached for it and checked who it was– it was Mart.
“ Are you already off?” Aims queried as she attended to the call. Mart was leaving for the city but due to her exams, she couldn't see him off.
“ Yeah..almost at the bus station~ what of you?” He went on. “ Have you set off?... I heard the exams is in an hour's time”
“ Almost, I'll be on my way shortly.”
“ Alright, call me after your papers then.”
“ Sure, got to go now~ I'm running late. I'll miss you.” Aims expressed.
“ I will too~ take good care of yourself, bye.”
with that, the line went dead and Aims instinctively rushed out after getting her stuff.
