--------------Los Angeles, California. ------------------------Next afternoon(UCLA) My thesis was due in two months time. I really had enough time to prepare. I had to submit my thesis to enable me graduate. I knew I could do it, Allah was with me. Always. I was done for today. Khalid was picking me up again. My ankle still hurt, but little. I was limping a little bit. I waited for Khalid on the same bench I waited yesterday, hopefully no one from the awards crew was going to come my way again.  I watched as the rude dude from yesterday sat on the bench, thank goodness far away from me. I couldn't deal with another episode of bullying right now. He was on a phone call. His accent actually did sound like RiRi's but his had more sense of class, he had already adjusted to the California lifestyle. I wanted to get to know the Nigerian cultures more. RiRi was from the Hausa/ Fulani Ethnic group. I really wanted to visit

----------------Los Angeles, California.------------------------- MVO Building agency( Same afternoon).I never imagined this was what she was going through. I didn't even know what to think or do. It must hurt her so much. I had to pour out all my anger on him after I heard what she said to David. She wanted me and my father to reconcile, that was why she turned down my idea of going to the police station. She had already found the culprit. And it was David. I really couldn't believe after all what he did to my mother, he still had the guts to abuse someone else's child, he took her away from her parents and is denying it. I could feel Faryah's pain right now. It should really hurt a lot. " I didn't want you to find out" she cried onto my chest as I patted her hair and back in console. " You should've told me. It would have been easier for us" I answered as I kissed her head. " He still denied it, all I wanted was to know who my true parents are, that was all, but no

 --------------- Los Angeles, California. --------------------------- Night before Convocation and oath taking( Faryah and Khalid's new home). I giggled as he blindfolded me as we stopped on the road. " I really don't understand why you have to do this Khalid" I said with a giggle and inhaled the pleasant scent of the blind fold. " Don't worry, I'll take it off soon, it's just for a little while" he answered as he placed a kiss on my cheek and I felt the car move again.  GrandPa and Ummi couldn't make it to my convocation. But they planned on coming the day after the grand launch. I missed them so much. Firdaus was coming along too. I really couldn't wait to see her change. Raihanna was in Indonesia, she couldn't make it too, she was graduating a week after me. " Where are you taking me to?" I asked as he continued driving. " Somewhere special. You'll like it, don't worry. Just be p

--------------Los Angeles, California.  --------------------------Ritz-Carlton hotel. " Sophia Olyster" She announced and the crowd applauded. Yayy, the attention wasn't going to be on me anymore. The crowd's applause grew louder and screams too. She deserved the award. But I really didn't see the need of doing this, no one needs a reward for being beautiful. The tiara and sash were placed on Sophia as she smiled widely. She wanted this. She was given a plaque too as the lady in pink put tiny tiara's on my head and a sash round my body.  " Ohh...I don't know what to say, I am really grateful for this award and I really do  appreciate it. This was really unexpected and I honestly thought that my sister-in-law was going to be the one to get the award, but I am sincerely grateful to everyone here, I am glad to call UCLA my home, it was my home for five years, and UCLA is a school to be in

-------------Los Angeles, California ---------------------Taglyan Complex. " Faryah, excuse me, I want to use the restroom" I really needed to ease my self. The chilli caused it. " Okay" She answered as I got up from our table. Sophia and Ethan were eating too. But GrandPa, Mother and Brandon were still moving around, making sure their guests were okay. The event was going to end very soon.  I walked out of the hall and found my way to the restroom. I washed my hands and dried them up after I was done and walked out of the rest room. " it's been a while, Khalid" I could recognise that soothing voice anywhere. I turned my back to find the tall pretty blonde figure I was once crazy for. She was wearing a red short off- shouldered ball gown and golden heels. And her makeup and all, as usual perfect, she curled her hair to her right and she looked so beautiful.  " Pamela Hutchkins, how are you?
