Lonely Bride

So finally, I am here in Melbourne, Australia.

I applied long ago here but never joined, and because of my significant marks, I have been getting requests from them to join. So here I am.

I got the room in my college hostel, as usual. I am not interested in friendship with anyone, so I mind my own business and get the entire room for myself.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Well, how? I guess money can do everything. I have never had a money issue since I was 16. I was always interested in computers and learning about hacking.

Yes, I am a hacker, but I am an ethical hacker, and I have an A+ certificate as well.

When I was 17, we had a competition in my school, and I won and got the first prize, and there I met Mr. Luca.

Mr. Luca Thomas came with the chief guest, and after the ceremony, he spoke to me regarding helping me solve some confidential government work.

He spoke to my principal, and it was a government assignment my principal agreed to.

That is, it was from then that I have never seen back.

I get a hefty amount of money in my different accounts for doing this.

But I only work for the government because I cannot ignore my studies.

Mr. Luca is now my official manager and manages my entire work.

It has already been a month since I shifted here. I have not received the divorce papers yet. I guess he has not received my letter.

Well, I do not have any other way to contact him.

Well, not today. We can find anyone’s contact details if we want, but I do not want to.

Neither do I want to get into any kind of relationship with anyone, nor do I want to get married, so I do not need any divorce papers. If he wants, he will find me.

I know for a fact that it is easy to find me for a powerful man like him.

So, let us wait and watch.

I was passing by the corridor when I saw a girl crying in a mess and requesting an admin person to give her a room to stay in as she does not have anyone to go to.

Hearing this made my heart melt.

I can understand how it feels when you have nowhere to go.

I took a turn and sat on the nearby bench outside the admin office. She

I was sobbing like no tomorrow. I roll my eyes when I see her.

“Hi, I am Sarah.” I give my hand a shake.

She looks at my hand with teary eyes like a lost puppy and says, Hi, I am Samantha,” while taking my hand to shake.

I got stiffened at hearing my mama’s name.

She is looking like a cute little baby right now, and somehow I am feeling like protecting her.

“Can I help you with something?” I asked about her problem.

She looks down, then gulps and looks up and says, “I am from Canada and a scholarship student. Because of some paperwork issues, my scholarship got delayed; hence, I got late for this semester. But somehow, they allow me to join, but now the problem is that they do not have any empty rooms in the hostel, and I do not know anyone here. Moreover, I cannot go back and join next semester as I am an orphan, and I do not have money to go back and come back next semester.”

By then, she was finished; she was sobbing hard.

“Samantha, I can help you with this.” Hearing this, she looks up, and I continue. “I have a room all by myself, and I can share that with you if you want.” Before I say anything, she jumps on me for a bone-crushing hug.

And her tears even started flowing more. I patted her back and said, “Now let us go if you want to, as I do not know about you, but I have a class to attend.”

“Thank you so much, Sarah. You are a lifesaver. Yes, please, let us go.” She picked up her bag, and we started walking toward my room.

The room already had a bunk bed, so there was no problem sharing the bed.

She kept her stuff aside and looked at me with her puppy eyes. God, she is cute, I thought in my mind.

“Ok, one thing I would like to tell you first: please keep the room clean, and second, do not touch my stuff, especially my laptop and phone. Ok?”

She nods in agreement.

“I sleep down. So you can take the upper bed and make yourself at home. I will see you in the evening, Samantha.”

“Sam, you can call me Sam.” She said it with a smile.

“Ok, but you will call me Sarah, as I do not think I can make it smaller than this.” I joke to make her feel comfortable.

“I like Sarah only.” She said it with a smile. I nodded and left for my next class.

So, girl, I used to think cute like the puppy. She is a naughty devil.

The whole day, she jumps around here and there like a monkey.

She is doing her master’s in economics, and I hardly see her taking her book in her hand. I do not know how she got this scholarship.

But now she has become a part of my life. I have started loving her like a sister. I guess when you are alone, a small hope of being loved makes you happy.

As much as I like to stay away from people, she wants the entire world around her. She has made so many friends already, and she is full of life. I wish I could be like her a little.

She is always there for me, but somehow I always feel alone. This loneliness has become part of my life.

I still sit for hours and hours looking at the sky, thinking about my Mama, Grandpa, Granny, and sometimes Sean.

How they all left me in this world.

Well, I do not blame Sean, as it is not his fault when my father does not want me. Then how can I expect anything from a stranger like him?

I was just thinking about my life when I heard the phone ring, and it was Mr. Luca.

Me: Hello, Mr. Luca.

Luca: Hi Sarah, How are you doing? Are you liking the new place?

Me: I am loving it. Thanks for asking. So may I know why you called?” I came to the point.

Luca: Well, yes, there is a company. It has some problems. Someone is leaking confidential information from their system. So first, they want to secure the system, and second, they want to find the culprit.

Me: You know I do not work for any company, Mr. Luca.

Luca: I know, dear, but it is my request for you to do this next time. I will never ask for your help.

They need to find the culprit, or else they may suffer an enormous loss.

Me: Ok, fine, send me details of the company and other things I require. The rest I will take care of.

Mr. Luca has done so much for me that I cannot deny his request.

After some time, I got a letter, and my heart missed a beat looking at the name of the company.
