FORTY ONE (Part Two)

              I clenched my backpack and kept walking on the cobblestone path. I felt attached to this place. I met him here. The first time, I saw him here. I looked at the wood. 

     'Yes! I'm hoping it happens again. I can feel him around me. But I can't see him. We have completed the semester. I didn't see Dastien after that day. No one knows. Where's he? Alex says he must be in the Dark realm. I have asked them many times about his whereabouts. No one knows.'

     I halted at the sight of Jasper, "Ready to meet your family?" He asked with a smile. 

     I managed a smile. They tried hard to bring a smile to my face. I smiled, not to disappoint them. 

     "I guess," I would have said 'Yes' a few days ago but the entire situation has changed. I have a mate. It hurts so much, waking in his room but not seeing him.
