HIS PERFECT CHRISTIAN GIRL

CHAPTER 25

THIRD PERSON POV

Annette stood in front of the mirror, adjusting her graduation cap. The moment she had been dreaming of was finally here. The cap and gown were a symbol of her journey, the culmination of years of hard work, dedication, and faith.

The graduation ceremony was held in a grand auditorium, bustling with the excited chatter of graduates and their families. Annette's parents were there, beaming with pride, their eyes glistening with tears of joy. They had supported her every step of the way, and this day was a testament to their unwavering love and guidance.

As the ceremony commenced, Annette walked proudly, her heart brimming with a mix of emotions—gratitude, excitement, and a pinch of nervousness. She scanned the room and spotted Rose, her best friend, who would soon be an engineer, and Jack, another close friend, who was also on his way to becoming a doctor. Their smiles were infectious, adding to the already jubilant atmosphere.

Just before the graduation began, Annette and Rose had a moment of nostalgia. They visited a nearby mall, like they used to do during their school days. The familiar scent of stores and the laughter of friends brought back a flood of memories. Damien and Jack joined them, and they strolled through the mall, sharing stories and dreams.

"So, Rose, an engineer soon, huh?" Damien teased, nudging her playfully.

Rose grinned. "Yeah, one step closer to building the world, one blueprint at a time."

Jack chimed in, "And Annette, our future doctor, ready to save lives?"

Annette laughed, feeling a sense of warmth and camaraderie that was a balm to her soul. "Absolutely! Just like you, Jack, saving lives, one diagnosis at a time."

As they continued their walk, they found a cozy corner in a Chinese restaurant and sat down for a meal. They reminisced about their high school days, the challenges they had faced, and how far they had come since then.

Damien spoke up, acknowledging his slightly delayed graduation as a future surgeon. "Patience is a virtue, right? A few more years of schooling, but I'll get there."

Annette nodded, her admiration for Damien evident in her eyes. "You'll make an amazing surgeon, Damien. Your patience and dedication will pay off."

As the graduation ceremony progressed, the pride of the parents and the accomplishments of the students filled the hall. Annette's parents watched with hearts brimming with joy, grateful for the incredible woman their daughter had become. The journey had not been easy, but their faith had seen them through.

During the ceremony, Annette couldn't help but sneak glances at Damien. His eyes sparkled with a blend of pride, hope, and a tinge of longing. She knew that this was just the beginning, and they were all embarking on a new chapter of their lives.

Later, after the ceremony, amidst the hugs and congratulations, Annette found a quiet moment with her parents. She poured her heart out, sharing her feelings for Damien. She knew that his journey with depression was challenging, but she believed in him and in their friendship that was blossoming into something more profound.

Her parents listened attentively, offering guidance and support. They reminded her of the strength that came from faith and love, encouraging her to follow her heart and to be patient.

Meanwhile, Damien found solace in the familiar walls of the church. The hallowed silence and the gentle glow of the stained glass windows provided him with a sense of peace. He whispered a prayer of gratitude, thanking God for guiding him this far and seeking strength for the journey ahead.

Unbeknownst to all of them, Pedro lurked in the shadows, seething with anger and envy. Seeing their joy fueled the darkness within him, driving him further into his twisted plans.

Annette was surrounded by the love and pride of her parents, who couldn't stop smiling at their accomplished daughter. Her father had a surprise for her, a promise kept by her father—a Lamborghini. Annette's eyes widened with surprise and joy when she saw the sleek, elegant car. It was a symbol of her hard work, dedication, and her family's love.

"Wow, Dad, I can't believe it!" she exclaimed, hugging her father tightly.

"You've earned it, Annette. We're so proud of you," her father beamed.

Jack, Rose, and Damien joined the celebration, congratulating her and admiring the beautiful car. Damien was genuinely happy for her, appreciating her achievements.

Pedro, however, seethed with jealousy as he watched the scene unfold. Annette's success and the attention she received grated on him. He resented how Damien was a part of her life and how he, in Pedro's twisted mind, stood in the way of what should be Pedro's alone.

Later, at the graduation party, Damien and his friends—Sam, Josh ,Dante, and even Jack—celebrated the significant milestone. They laughed, reminisced, and cheered for the journey they had ahead. Damien cherished this camaraderie, grateful for true friends who had been there for him through thick and thin.

Pedro's dark thoughts festered as he plotted to separate Annette from Damien. He believed that by isolating her, he could have her all to himself. He concocted a twisted plan to cast doubts in Annette's mind, to exploit her uncertainties and fears. He wanted to poison the bond she shared with Damien, feeding his unhealthy obsession.

The graduation had marked a significant milestone for Annette, Rose, and Jack. Annette, now a doctor, was determined to make a difference in the world through her faith and profession. Rose was ready to take on the engineering world, breaking stereotypes along the way. Jack, following the path of a doctor, was eager to heal and save lives.

Annette's heart was a mix of joy, hope, and love. She knew her journey with Damien was evolving, and she was ready to embrace what the future held. They were all on the cusp of a new chapter, with its challenges and triumphs.

As they bid farewell to their graduation day, the winds of change whispered promises of love, friendship, and faith.
