Chapter 23: New home

Xeal feeling excited for the short break after the exam. She will spend her first holiday with his father and brother. Although she knew that she had a stepmother but never been introduced to, well maybe his father is not ready yet to introduce her to Luther's mother. Xeal checking up all the things that she needs to pack for the last time. While zipping her luggage she finally remembers her necklace with the black heart pendant. The only things that left behind by her mother to her. She never shows it to others even to her father. It is a precious thing that she treasures the most, second to her life. An incoming phone call appears on her phone. Xeal picks it up. Hello, this is Xeal. Hello, Xeal this is Luther, the father seems busy today so I will be the one who will pick you up. Are you okay with it? Xeal is still feeling a little bit awkward around Luther but reassured her feeling. It okay, things happen right. I already finish packing up my things so I will be ready in half an hour so you can plan the time to pick me up. Ok, rest assured I will be there in time Xeal. You can count on your brother ok. Half an hour later she is carrying the luggage in front of her dorm while a black sedan car pulls over on the road. Xeal I am here. She could see a smiling face from her brother as he waving his hand towards her. She fastens her pace towards the car. The adrenaline rush and excited feeling were mixes together. She never felt like this before. Luther gets out from the driver seats and helps her carry the luggage. Without further delay, they get in the car. Luther offered her a soft drink. Please drink this, it a very hot day today and you seem in sweats while carrying the luggage just now. She sips on the soft drink, cola flavour and a very refreshing feeling passing down her throat. The sweetest things she ever drinks in her life and she will regret it for the rest of her life.
