REVERSE 4 YOU

3 Who's the Big Boss Here?

I had a migraine, remember? Now, it has become a throbbing pain that courses through my entire body, spreading from head to toe.
"You drew a girl!?"
"Yes, because your soulmate is a girl."
"If it's this girl, tear it down!"
"You're unbelievably close-minded," Vi squints her face and shakes her head in disappointment.. "Be more open. Love can't be narrowly defined. It's unconditional."
I'm neither close-minded nor conditional. But, just a few hours ago, I was so mad because of that nerve-wracking P'Four who is in this picture. Then, my sister sketched her out so realistically, as if it were her ID card photocopy. And now, you're telling me that this girl is my future soulmate. What should I do? Should I smile and hastily ride my bike back to embrace her tightly?
"By calling her name, you already know her, right? You walked past her on that snowy day, am I correct?"
Bravo, you cunning genius.
"I saw her in my vision."
"So what? I hate the girl in your sketch. I'm off to work now. Cook some rice for me. I'll ask for some meat soup and bring it back."
I don't wait for Vi to tease me or give me any more fortune-telling. I start the engine and ride off from the house.
My face feels numb. I'm not shy, so please don't misunderstand. It's numb because I can't accept the truth. The only thing I can do is pray that Vi's vision is just a fantasy.
In reality, being her partner wouldn't be that easy.
As I am doing the dishes, I ponder, 'Will I be poor like this until I die?' But I tell myself that I shouldn't end up like that because I'm going to be a lawyer. Our financial situation should have improved by that time.
I feel sorry for myself. It would be better if we couldn't see the future. My tyrannous, unfriendly but super rich soulmate... Why does it have to be you? I don't understand it at all.
I try to forget about it, in case our fate can be twisted in the future. But every night before I go to bed...
"Wa, I saw you and P'Four participating in your university's Prince and Princess Contest too."

There's always a new vision! So annoying!

First Day of University
I said goodbye to 'Pizza the Pinball' as I need to focus on my studies. . I've paid off all of my bills, including those owed to the aunty who lives at the entrance of our alley. On my last day at the restaurant, I 'wai' [1] Ping to say goodbye, telling her that I'm no longer trapped in our karmic relationship. As soon as she heard my ironic farewell, she turned red with anger and started cursing uncontrollably. She threw my uniform in my face and told me she didn't want to see my face again.

How did she expect me to come again? For far too long, her sarcasm has completely stifled me. I definitely won't be coming back. She even forbade me to take home an ugly slice of pizza for my little sister, discarding it right before my eyes just to rub it on me.
Farewell forever, Ping. I vow to never set foot here again, under any circumstances. I can't afford pizza anyway, and I apologize for my poverty.
By the way, they said that university professors won't deduct your marks when you are late. I arrive unintentionally late today due to the pain in my back. I drive slowly to the university, suspecting that this pain is a consequence of my delivery job. I decide not to pause the time because it doesn't seem necessary. When I enter the classroom, some classmates curiously stare at me, but the professor doesn't say anything. He simply continues teaching.
I choose a seat in the corner, as I'm not familiar with anyone here. Surprisingly, there's already a guy sitting there, resting his hand on his cheek. He's probably avoiding socializing as well.
Oh, it's the famous, handsome diplomat's son. His facial expression clearly reveals his boredom with today's lesson.
"Hi."
He greets me without looking in my direction. His eyes remain fixed on the whiteboard.
"Hi." I briefly echo back.
"Go find another spot. I prefer to enjoy the cool air here alone."
"Hey, dude! Air is a public resource. It belongs to everyone and is meant to be shared. You're the one who has to go. I have the right to sit here."
"I can smell your stinky perfume. It's spreading all over the place."
"I don't wear perfume. You must be mistaken." I don't even have enough money to afford perfume.
