ADK V: Dark Kismet (✔️)

Prologue

Prologue:

Ivan Hunter may be the most stupid, arrogant, and happy-go-lucky man, Diara Vena ever knows, and she may be the most insensitive, brainiac, and unnoticed girl in this campus. She's here not to have high grades or even want to get famous like normal teenagers do. She's only here for one mission.

“You’re looking at Ivan—“ pag-obserba ng kaniyang bestfriend na parang linta na yata sa sobrang dikit na sa kaniya, “—for the nth time. N’andito naman ako. Mas gwapo naman ako d’yan nang di hamak.”

Hindi na lang siya umimik sa katotohanang isang ordinaryong tao lang si Jayven although hindi naman din siya pangit. Isang taon na din ang kanilang pagkakaibigan at himalang tumatagal ang isang ‘to sa buhay niya. He's handsome but not that attractive. Unlike Ivan, he's born a god and god is born to be perfect in physical features, from head to foot. Not to mention Ivan is Zeus’ great grandson.

Napailing-iling si Diara habang pinapatuloy niya kunwari ang pagbabasa ng Management book. Life sucks when she is grounded in this place that she hates most. All her life, namumuhay siyang malayo sa tao, malayo sa kabihasnan, at malayo sa mga gulong walang ka-kwenta-kwenta para sa kanya.

“Hey you bitch!” sigaw no'ng isang babae sa katabi niyang bench, “Ang kapal naman ng mukha mong agawin sa akin ‘yong boyfriend ko! Sino ka ba sa inaakala mo, ha!”

Diara rolls her eyes over that stupid scene. Humans! They're debating over non-sense matters.

“Tara na Diara! May naamoy akong gulo!” pag-aya ni Jayven sa kaniya.

She doesn’t care about that, either. Patamad siyang tumayo at lumayo na lang sa sinasabi ni Jayven na gulo.

Diara closes her eyes. This place is too peaceful for her, too serene to even think of her greatest plan—abducting Zeus’ great grandson.

How can she ever do that?

Napatanong siya sa kaniyang sarili habang nakatitig naman kay Ivan sa malayo. Nakaupo rin ito sa isa sa mga bench, na hindi naman kalayuan sa kaniyang puwesto. Why is he here in this place anyway? Immortals like him doesn’t belong in this ordinary place. Lumingon sa kaniya si Ivan at ngumiti. And the most stupid thing she has done is to respond a smile back, knowing that this is more like stupidity.

What was he up to?

What is she doing?

Mga katanungan na para sa kaniya ay kay hirap sagutin. Kaagad na tumalikod si Diara at nag-goodbye kay Jayven habang naglalakad palapit kay Ivan. To get what she wants ,she needs to get close to him...

Way too close...
