3. First symbol - Fragrance of the girl

Ema's pov -

Where are you, Abigail? We are getting late. After 5 mins the gate will be closed then we won't be able to sit for the exam. Then my eyes caught her sight. She is running to me. Her hair is bouncing in the air. Her silky smooth brown hair always attracts attention in the crowd. She reaches me.

"Sorry, sorry, sorry. I got late. Why are you waiting for me? Let's go." She is huffing and saying. I smile at her.

"You know that I never enter into anything important in my life without you. Then why are you asking me that?" We are walking towards the gate and talk.

"Okay, okay. I am sorry." In the middle, we enter college. Now, we need to check our seat plan. Today again it has been changed.

"Best of luck. Today is the last exam for our graduation. Then just project and research report submission with defense." Abigail is so excited.

"Yeah. You will shine for sure. What about me? You also know what I do in results. Just pray I can pass. That's it." I am saying that we are checking the notice board.

"Here is mine. At management department room 601 and your 603. So, let's go." Abigail finds our seat.

"Great. So, you are almost done with research, right?" I asked her.

"Yup. Just the final touch. I already showed it to my thesis mentor and Professor like that. He said that It was perfect. Then I started arranging and my few other additions. What about yours?" She asked me now.

"Mine! Do you think with exam study I could concentrate on a project? No. I think I will touch the deadline. Still, I need to check a few factories' work processes to prepare the report. Will you help me after you finish your report?" I asked for help.

"Sure. Let's go to visit after the exam. You have the college's permission, right?" She asked me.

"Yes, I have. Even I have the soft copy." I replied with a smile.

"Great. Then after the exam, we will go. Then I will go to my place with my violin." Now she is happier.

"Okay. But now let's enter for the exam. In a few minutes, paper distribution will start." I stopped our conversation. She blinks as a sign of yes. Then she tries to move her hair from her face and the bracelet she wears always has the dangling part that is missing.

"Where is the dangling part of your bracelet?" I asked.

"Oh no. When did it go missing? It's the gift of my mom." She literally starts crying.

"Hey, hey. Relax. You have the whole bracelet, it's just a little part. Now, please be calm. Otherwise, you will have a bad exam. You don't want that right?" I am trying to make her calm. Then she stops crying but is still sad. I can feel her pain. Then we enter our exam hall. I hope she is fine.

Jack's pov -

This Mick will never change; always behaves like a cheap villain. There will be one day when he will yarn for love and that day he will realize how wrong he is. He treats girls like toys. Will, the toy is a better comparison. He doesn't consider them as living souls. And girls also. Yeah, I admit he is handsome and charming with wealth. So, they follow him. But they should understand his nature.

"Are you cursing me silently?" Mick asked.

"Cursing is a good word. It's just your good luck that you are my friend. Otherwise, I won't see your face, you moron." I am so upset with him.

"Today you brought me here. So, why call me Moron?" He is smiling and saying which is giving me more anger. I smirk and leave him alone.

"Hey, Jack. Man, just chill. I use girls because they let me do that. I promise that there will be one girl who will only love me, not my wealth. That day I won't look at any other girl. Jack, wait. I am coming." He is screaming and coming behind me. This is the side of him I love the most. The child part. He doesn't let anyone get into his heart but once someone enters he can do anything for that person. I didn't turn to him, I continued my walk. I get into the car, and he also sits.

"Don't get upset. I know you are jealous right?" This line shocked me.

"Why would I be jealous huh?" I asked with an irritated tone.

"I've known you like me since school, right?" I look at him with awful eyes.

"Are you drunk? What's wrong with you? What are you saying?" I am asking by kicking on the brake.

"I am telling the truth, man. I know you like me, that's why you behave like this when I get closer to girls." Now he is over.

"Will you just shut up? Now it's too much. And like you in that way, eww. I will never have this many bad days. Yuck, just shut up." He is irritating me now.

"Hahahahahaha. This is what I wanted. Now, face it. I will defame you. No girl will look at you. Hahahahahaha." So, you are teasing me, you moron.

"Why not let me defame you?" Now it's my turn.

"What do you mean?" Now he is scared. Yessssss.

"We are at the club area. I have nothing to lose but if I just kiss you once and anyone sees, enough. Hahahahaha." I am so serious about making him scared.

"Wa-wa-wait. What happened to you? I was kidding. Please don't snatch my innocence." Now we both start laughing.

"Okay enough. Let's go." I cut our jokes and started the car. The climate is really good. Mick opens the window and looks outside. I am driving and smiling seeing him calm. This is what I wanted. I know all these are done by William. But we have to face it. By taking a deep sigh I concentrate on the road.

"Don't you think we have a bad future ahead?" Suddenly Mick is sounding so sad and tense.

"We will see." When I said that Mick put his hand on my left hand on gear. I look at his hand and his cufflinks have something stuck.

"What is it?" I asked him. He looks at that.

"It might be that girl, whom I tried to see but couldn't just because of you." Then he gently releases the small chain and keeps that in his chest pocket.

"That's new. I am impressed." Now I am teasing him.

"This is the symbol of the girl who left the fragrance of her behind to me. So, I am keeping it. You concentrate on your driving." He smirks and I smile. Then I start our journey to the office.
