Tapestry Of Lives: A Multifaceted Journey

Chapter Thirty

A few years ago,

It was already dark when she arrived home. As a diligent and ambitious nursing student, she was on the verge of fulfilling a dream she had harbored since she was five. She had entered college at just 15 without much difficulty.

How was that possible?

It seemed improbable, right?

Yet, it happened due to her rare blend of beauty and intelligence.

She held a place in the Guinness Book of Records as a shining example for future generations.

She had started school at two and a half years old, and from that point, extraordinary things began to happen.

She received multiple promotions and short-term scholarships during primary school. Her grades were exceptional, leading some to jokingly refer to her as a witch for her extraordinary intellect.

Gifted with exceptional intelligence, others even called her a goddess who seemed to need no instruction.

Her brilliance incited envy from her peers and even her teachers.

She was a beacon of inspiration to every child.

As the only girl and the youngest of two children in her family, she was cherished but not spoiled.

Yes, she was indulged, but it never diverted her attention from her studies.

There were times when she was asked to delay her college entrance exams—not because of her results, but because she was so petite and young.

Although she excelled in mock exams, her age often hindered her admission. At that time, the country required college applicants to be at least 18, while she was only 15.

Her affluent background, however, helped ease her entry into college.

She was the youngest and smallest in her college, in her department, in her class, and likely the youngest ever to start college at such an early age.

Her striking golden eyes could charm anyone and even make adversaries falter, seeing her as a divine figure.

She was simply blessed with beauty.

People often labeled her a nerd because she wore prescription glasses and always sat in the front row, emphasizing her large, endearing eyes.

It seemed she had forgotten her new wristwatch again, and with her phone's battery dead, she couldn't check the time.

But she could see that it was already dark.

So dark that she was the only one left studying in the school library.

"Oh shit," she muttered as she gathered her belongings to leave.

She had done it once more.

Her parents would be livid, not directly with her, but with her personal bodyguard, who had been assigned to watch over her since childhood.

She had told her guard a fib, saying she needed to use the restroom for some privacy, not wanting him to follow her.

She could only find privacy by setting up this scenario.

When she reached the fields near the school’s garage, she saw him wandering in the darkness.

She felt a pang of sympathy, knowing he would be in trouble with her parents. She hoped her prepared excuse would help.

She called him "Endurance" for his great patience and tolerance. His real name was Thabo, meaning "Joy" or "Happiness."

Anyone who saw Thabo would know he was a simple, easygoing person.
