Elda's journey

Beggining

Hello dear thank you for choosing this story . Actually this is my first story, so please don't hate . English is not my first language and my grammer is poor. And that's all enjoy reading.🌼

" Elda! Wake up." Elda's mom shouted from downstairs.

"...."

"Elda! Dear God how long will you sleep now?"

"Elda!"

"Elda!"

"Elda!"

"Okay okay I am up  geez stop shouting mom my ears drums will crack!"

" I won't have to do it if you wake  in time."

"Hmmmm." She replied 

After listening to her mom's scolding Elda slowly got up from her bed. It was already 9:30 in  the morning ,but her eyes still looked like she will fall asleep any moment. She complained in her mind. Why does she need to wake up it's already the holidays and she needed more sleep during to her late night routine.

Summoning all her strength she slowly dragged her body to the bathroom to freshen up.

After refreshing, she descended downstairs to have her breakfast.

Breakfast contains oats ,some dry fruits and a glass of milk. She is very health conscious.

During breakfast 🥞 her mother told her that this weekend they are going for a family picnic with their grandparents.

Upon hearing the news her sleepiness disappeared and a grin placed her pout. She already started making plans in her mind for their trip. 

Elda loved her grandparents very much , and to think that she could spend her whole weekend with her favourite people she was happy beyond words.

Seeing her smile her mother said "As it has been very long time since we last visited them why don't you prepare some gifts for them?"

She replied" Sure mom it's been so long since I saw them . And  as l am the best granddaughter I will prepare the best gifts for them!"

"Mom what do you think should I give them as today is already Thursday it's a little bit late to get them something very good."

Her mother took some time to think about it and replied  with a smile " it's never late to bake a cake and some tasty cookies you know!" Exclaimed her mother .

Elda giggled and proceed to tell her friends about her supposed to be weekend.

As Elda had already passed the high school final examination with marks higher than average, she immediately applied for the most reputed university in her city.

The university is actually half funded by government and half by rich business man in the city, through which they were able to send their sons or daughters to university without worrying about their academic performance.

But there were only 50 places for scholarship. And very few students like Elda were able to gain the scholarship though their hardwork.

Elda isn't just good in studies her manners were elegant. She had chocolate brown eyes, long lashes, little sharp nose, puffy cheeks, round lips and long brown hair which further complimented her eyes. With her charms it was easy for her to make new friends. Her teachers also loved her. Even though many rich and handsome boys had asked her for date she rejected them saying she prioterize her studies and  to either wait or move on. She wanted to make her parents proud. So she worked hard in her final year of high school to get the scholarship.

Her classes were going to start from August 1st and it's already the end of June just one month left for classes.

As she excitedly informed her friends about her weekend she got so engrossed in it and didn't even realised that it was already 12 past half.

Her mother was calling her from downstairs for lunch. As she reached the dining table her stomach growled. Her mother looked at her and scolded

"if you were that hungry why didn't you came for lunch sooner.?"

She replied with a pout "  I was texting my friends about the supporsed to be trip."

Her mother replied" Yeah that phone was going to feed you right?"

She now scowled.

Lunch was served,both mother and daughter Started eating their lunch in comfortable silence. 

After lunch her mother told her " go and buy the ingredients for cake and cookies,also the groceries almost finished buy them also."  Elda replied" alright mom let me put on some clothes and give me the money and list."

Alex

 In the other part of the city, a typical old fashioned house stood out in a sophisticated neighbourhood. There stood a boy, looking towards the sky with no emotion in his eyes. His mind blank. As if he is waiting for something drastic to happen.

Alex is his name. He has  jet black hair , silver eyes,and a sharp nose and thick brows. With a sharp jawline and height of 6' feet he is considered as one of most handsome boy in the city.

Even though he had angelic features he was devoid of feelings. He had no friends or rather he wanted no friends. He would also show up alone , no one knows anything about him except that he lives with his old uncle who is still unmarried.

Alex works in a tattoo parlor as a part time job. His uncle is an alcoholic who doesn't bother to work for himself and nephew for food and other nessicities. Rather he would order Alex as if he were a servant.

Alex doesn't oppose to his uncle's abuse and silently bears all the responsibilities alone . He doesn't like to depend on others for his requirements. He is a prideful boy who would choose to starve to death rather than asking for help from anybody.

Alex's life was different before he turned 13 . A little happy family of four that consists his father, mother him and his little sister. Their life was peaceful, but it was the calm before the storm. During his 13th birthday a certain man appeared in his house and took away the happiness of him and his family.

Later it was reported that  the whole Russo family had disappeared except Alex. During the enquiry he remained silent. And as the police had no clue or evidence about the case was forced to close. After that incident Alex became silent and would only utter few words when necessary. Later his uncle appeared who had no job and took all the property of Alex's family for gambling and alcohol. He would lose everytime and sell away anything with his hand touched to pay. But Alex never let him sell the house when he grew up and his family recided once. So in order to feed his uncle and himself he started working as a waiter and then a accountant and finally the tattoo parlor.

But even after so much hard work he would never neglect his studies. He worked hard evey day and night. And at last he was able to get an scholarship in the most reputated university in the city.

Alex had a life full of misery but never gave up and even though he had a very little time for himself he would continue his passion . Alex loved dancingas it was the only thing that made him feel alive in his dark world. It was the only thing keeping him alive.
