On a highway road, a large and exquisite college bus drove along with various vehicals. Inside, two different age group people were doing different things, completely ignoring the unique view from outside the window.
Inside the bus, in the cool climate of the air conditioning, three older men and women were sitting without saying a single word. They all sat with their eyes closed.
On the back side of the bus some teenagers of roughly 18 or 19 years old were playing video games in their phone and some are playing cards.
It was clear, the difference between the group of men who had experienced this before and the group of teenagers who were going there for the first time. But even with the teenagers being very noisy, the adults did not complain at any time, since they knew that these excited teenagers would no longer be so much in the mood for these games after they reached there destination.
Separated from both groups was a young adult of 19 years. He sat alone in a corner of the bus with his right hand resting on the glass of the vehicle window, and his eyes focused on the book in his lap while his mind was focused on something that no one knows.
Gazing at the young man sitting alone, a girl in the teenage group found him to be quite attractive as she stared at him. The young man had black hair and black eyes, as well as a thin but athletic figure. Her only doubt about him was how one can be so handsome.
Thinking that dating with him might be a good idea, the girl readied herself to get up from the bus chair and go towards the young man. But before she could take a second step towards him, a friend who was to her side held her and frowned.
"What is it, jasika?" The teenager asked the friend who held her arm.
"You weren't planning on going to talk to that guy there; were you, jannie?" jasika asked her in a serious tone.
Noticing her friend's serious tone of voice, jannie felt intrigued and asked, "Are you, by any chance, interested in him too?"
Listening to what her friend said, jasika couldn't help but sigh and answered calmly, letting go of her friend's arm since she knew that her friend would wait for her to explain. "I understand you are attracted to him but that's the problem. Since you are recently joined the college, you have never heard of him. His name is Leo Vel. He is our classmate, but the problem is that he is a orpan. On top of that he had very cold attitude.
"So, he is very poor? " jannie asked with a disappointed look.
"Yes" jasika said as she took another breath.
"So... how is he attending our college? If he has money, it is possible for him to attend the college. But if he is very poor as you said, it wouldn't make sense at all" jannie was shocked.
" He is sponsered by the government. Since,he is a genius in studies and sports" jasika said in a lazy tone.
jannie hearing this, felt unmotivated to go talk to him. As good as he looked, according to what her friend said, that was all. Jannie was raised since she was a little girl to always look for a strong and rich man: a man who could protect her, a man to walk by her side, not a useless man to just walk behind, who depended on her to support the family in the future. After jasika's speech, the small interest that jannie had for leo was now gone.
Leo was not paying attention to any of this. In front of his eyes, a book was placed and he is trying very hard to read it.
Hm...finally I finished reading these book.
Then I looked at the window. My blood run cold when I saw the driver lose control and was now driving on the wrong side of the road. My eyes turned red and my body turned pale on seeing what was going to happen.
I thought I was not seeing clearly when I saw a truck approaching which traveled at a high speed such that nothing could have stopped it not even the driver himself.
Shivers run down my stream as everybody who was on that bus started to scream on their voices. The driver on the other hand tried to break the bus to no use.
" Help! help!" they shouted but it was too late our bus crushed with the truck head on collision.
Blood is bleeding from both his nose and mouth..Leo suddenly puked out a mouthful of blood on the book.
Am I going to die , leo thought in his mind. I worked so hard until now, but now it's no use.
No.... I don't want to die like this. Only if I had given one more chance. I would have proven myself.
Due to his injuries and worries he failed to notice that the book he is reading a few seconds ago is now absorbing his blood at a speed visible to naked eye. It has stopped obsorbing the blood only,when all the pages in the book, dyed with his blood and turned all white pages into red color pages.
Then, the book began to float, hovering until it was on eye-level with Leo.
Leo was shocked upon seeing this.
"What the hell is happening?
The book started to emit a blinding radiance as it shook uncontrollably. A few seconds later, it opened up, pages after pages were being turned.
Leo couldn't take his eyes off of the shining book . It was as if he was in a deep trance. The words written on the pages of the book weren't in any language that he had seen before. Nevertheless, for some reason, he felt like he could understand it.
When the book reached its last page.
It was then, a voice of a female he had never heard of before resounded within his head.
