14 years later...

"Des-ti-no" the woman enunciated as she wrote the word on the chalkboard, underlining it.

She balanced a book on her forearm, reading the words aloud as she wrote them on the board.

"From the Latin root 'destinaire', destiny in English. A person's destiny is everything that happens to them in their life, including what will happen in the future."

She set the book down on her desk with a loud thump, her students watching her, "Imagine that" she says.

"The motion of like attracting like, the motion of a divine pre ordination." The woman says swaying her hands back and forth.

"Okay, look, one hand, two hands, put them together." She says clapping her hands together, "And what do they make?" She says holding them up for everyone to see.

"One" a student answers.

"Right! So, the God of Wisdom tells us we began as circles," drawing a circle on the chalkboard, "When we strived to be like the archons, the God of Eternity herself, punished us! Striking us right down the middle with a thunderbolt." She said, making a slicing motion with her hands.

"We scattered to the ends of the earth, searching and searching, for our other half."

"Now, the God of Freedom says that if we just stop," she snapped her fingers, "Go with the flow and follow our destiny,"

"It'll lead us back to each other"

A moment of silence passed when the final bell rings, and the students stand up from their seats to pack their things and go.

"Okay, so following through on this, read from your green book, have a great holiday!" She said waving to her students who scampered out the classroom.

Back at home, (Name) sat on her carpeted floor, lighting candles and bringing out a bottle of wine on the coffee table.

"Don't get up, Yoi, I got everything" Mona said sitting down in front of (Name), their other childhood friend, Yoimiya, following suit.

"What is all this (Name) what's going on? Wine, candles, what is it?" Mona asked.

(Name) sighed and leaned on the table, "He proposed"

"Oh, (Name) that's great!" Mona congratulated her friend.

"Did he get down on his knees?" Yoimiya asked, curious on all the juicy details.

"Well, no.. he turned off his beeper" (Name) said.

"Oh well he's a doctor, it's practical, he doesn't have to get down on his knees" Mona said waving her hand around.

"Hey did you guys set a date?" Yoimiya interrogated further.

"No... I don't want to rush into things yet" (Name) laughed nervously.

"Oh! Let me see the ring" Mona said reaching for her friend's hand.

Before she could grab (Name)'s hand, she turned and reached into her bag, taking out a little velvet box.
