Dear Destiney,

CHAPTER-1

"Once in a while, in an ordinary life, love gives you a fairytale"

Somewhere in the giant working city, a small park, who knew someone's loves were going to change, the devil will appear disguised in his most magical form.

"C'mon! Elian one more to go..5-5-5" mumbles Elian having an immense adrenaline rush as his clutch on the bar loses every second whilst struggling to do his first proper chin-ups.

Suddenly his training is disrupted by a hard-pat on his back, "Dimwit" yells a girl, the vocal appeared very familiar and it was clear that the girl was mad on Elian, he soon grasped that she is actually who he thinks she is, that one loud girl in every girl group, that one girl who demands scrutiny on her each move as if life is a chess game, that one emotionally upset girl..

"What is it, Jade?" said Elian in a very calm vocal, he usually hates been interrupted in his workout sessions, Jade wore a very primitive circular glass-lens type specimen set into leather frames over her ears and perched over her nose..it made her eyes look very big like a frog, oh well anyways it helped her see better, some sort of sorcery. Looking at Jade's face with those big froggy-eyes always made Elian grin a little.

"Where are you these days, Elian?" asks Jade standing in a very bossy stance with one leg forward and elbows locked, he gets stoned as his brain is trying to come up with a persuading response as to why he wasn't replying to Jade's letter all these days..rolling his eyes in every direction, thinking and thinking.

All of a sudden Elian's eyes lays on a glimmering, sparkling woman, standing a little far away from Jade and calling for Jade, her hands clenched into one another, as shy as a squirrel, time froze for a while for Elian as he stares at this strange girl..to him she appeared as a piece of art, made him feel something, breezy strands of her hair cascading over her face, her face shinning under every ray from the Moon.

He stayed fixated on her trying to make an eye contact dying with anticipation in her presence, his heart beating so fast that it masked the sound of other kids playing near by..

"Elian?" says Jade breaking the tension,

"Ahh, yeah? Oh how are you? I have to go home soon." replies Elian, trying to dodge Jade cause he has a problem of completely ghosting someone without any notice and focusing on his life alone and that's exactly what he did to Jade, but little did he know that the strange girl he saw that one fine night will become a huge part of his life an exception to everything ------, the girl he didn't even know about, the girl who he thought might be the cousin of Jade and can be the first and last time he saw her..

Elian left, thinking about that strange girl..the scene where he first saw her playing like a serene movie in his mind, "You could have asked for her name atleast..well nevermind, life goes on." snarls Elian trying to console himself. He was sure that it wouldn't matter after a few minutes and that he will forget about her.

It is the year 1955, in the city of Saint Luis, a lively, 200-year-old melting-pot city where industry magnates, socialites, traders, sailors, workers, beggars, and thieves all live side by side. With good rail, road, and river connections for sugar, cotton, and other commodities trading, and a new electric power plant, with a blooming land for business. Young adults and adults, married adults, bachelor adults, adult married but unhappy with their relationship all came here from distances to find work and to settle. The city is called "Jewel of heartlands" for a reason, it offered the top quality education to the seekers. It is the hub of the state of Heartlands.
