Chapter 42: Fated destiny

A famous writer once said, "I can control my destiny, but not my fate. Destiny means there are opportunities to turn right or left, but fate is a one-way street." (Paulo Coelho)

Winter and I were born on the same day. I was ahead by a few minutes.

It was what started our bond. 

From that moment, I believed that our lives had been fated—that we were destined to be together. 

Unfortunately, we were separated when she moved to Harrith, and I couldn't follow. I was stuck in Kashjai until my parents moved to Tollista, when my father had a better job offer.

I came back to Kashjai after they died. 

The odd jobs I found were barely enough for my survival. Thus, I didn't even try to reach Harrith.

I wasn't sure if Winter would accept what I had become if I did. She was living her life in Harrith, looking beautiful, and was admired by many.

Me? I was a loser—someone who didn't deserve her.
