Beep... Beep... Beep...
Minerva looked over her beeping phone... It's a notification from bank where she has opened an account... She opened the text... A beautiful smile crept on her face seeing it.. And why not? She just received her payment!!
She looked outside of the window from her room... It's sunny and bright outside... It's in the middle of the July, a time for summer season in Italy... Though it's quite hot outside but still Minerva like this summer season... Because this season is bright and warm, exactly like her heart...
The ray of light touched her tanned skin lightly and made it more glowy... Her soft black eyes were sparkling and her straight black hair were hanging down on her waist... She is looking so Devine...
Through the window she could see the children were playing on the ground... Some teenagers were walking around and talking... Some were seating on the ground in a group gossiping and laughing with each other... Everyone there is below 18... Everyone seemed so happy... But she knew, they were not...
There was a certain emptiness in one corner of their heart which can only be fulfilled by family...
Yes, family...
.......
Basically, this is an orphanage and those kids belonged from the, 'Santoro orphanage'...
This orphanage was built by Arol Santoro and his wife Marina Santoro in 90's... They were not able to gave birth to a child and decided to adopt a child.. But in the process they found out there were lots of children who didn't have any family or somehow thrown away by their family...
Then this couple decided to set up an orphanage in their own house and they were successful too...
They died decades ago but their novel work is still alive.. Now this orphanage is under the Government and one of the biggest orphanage in the Rome... And whenever any child comes here there last name would be Santoro because it was one of Mr. & Mrs. Santoro's wish to let those homeless and identitiless kids to have their identity as their child...
Since then whenever any kid comes here their last name would be kept as Santoro...
Minerva is also one of them... But her situation is Slightly different from others... She came her fifteen months ago...
Fifteen months ago, she had an accident. How, she didn't know.. When she opened her eyes she was in the hospital bed and came to know that she was in coma for seven days!!
And there was one more thing, she had an amnesia because her head was hit by some heavy thing... She couldn't remember anything.. She only visioned that a white light flashed on her eyes and she tried to cover her eyes from the light and then everything became dark.. That's it... For more than one year she only had this vision and nothing else..
Whenever she tried to pressurize her brain to recalled things she only ended up with a terrible headache, nothing else... She had been used to it already...
That was a police case. But they couldn't take any actions because she didn't remember anything nor their was any eye witness.. Moreover, police also tried to find out about her family through the newspaper by publishing her photo but nothing happened.. No one came...
It's just two sisters from the 'Santoro orphanage' and they saw her lying down on the street with blood all over her face and body.. They took her to the hospital.. When they found out about her condition they decided to brought her to the orphanage and now here she is...
In doctors point of view she was 18-20 years old a year ago. In orphanage sisters decided to right it 18 in her new birth certificate which was approved by Government after seeing her condition... And on the basis of it she is 19 years old now...
Though she forgot everything about her past but her wise personality and bravery was not unnoticeable.. She also has the talent of art.. Moreover, she is so beautiful and looked Devine.. So, the sisters of the orphanage decided her name as Minerva... The Roman goddess of wisdom and strategic warfare, and the sponsor of arts, trade, and strategy ...
Since then she became Minerva Santoro... The other children of orphanage also received her with warm heartedly... And in a year she became their most favourite sister and friend... Sisters also like her very much...
Minerva is a full time novel writer in online apps.. She earned a very good amount from there.. She also joined as an art teacher in the orphanage school and earn from there too... She helped people without any selfish motives...
She is a good and kind hearted girl but that doesn't make her weak.. She can be bold and feisty when its needed. She is a calm and cold headed girl who likes to do things without getting hot tempered and losing sanity...
.......
Minerva withdraw her gaze from outside and concentrated on her writing again... She was typing on her laptop which was gifted by the sisters to see her writing ability...
All of a sudden, a girl barged in the room.. She also has long black hair which is a bit curvy and black eyes like Minerva... But she does not have tanned skin like her. She is in more of a pale side... All over, a beautiful girl...
Her name is Diana Santoro. She is also an orphan and lived her since she was seven years old.. Her parents died in a car accident when she was seven and didn't have any relatives who could take care of her so police handed her to the orphanage... Since then she is living here.. Currently, she is a twenty one year old girl.. But still she lives here.. For her this orphanage is her family and she cannot live without her family...
She is studying fashion designing in the college.. Minerva is a serious girl but Diana is a bubbly and carefree girl.. When Minerva came here, Diana was her roommate and from then on they became friends... With time passing each day they became best friends...
Minerva was so engrossed in her writing that Diana's sudden entry startled her.. She looked at Diana angrily "Diana.. Didn't I tell you not to do this!! You scared me to death!!"
Diana smiled apologetically and pinched her ear with her fingers "sorry sorry.. I didn't mean to do it.. but if you listen to the reason I am sure you will also start jumping in happiness!!!" She said excitedly...
Minerva arched her brow "Really?? Then tell me what is it?" She asked curiously..
"Ta-daa.." Diana brought out two tickets from her bag...
"What is it?" Minerva got up from her chair and walked towards her...
"A consert ticket of rockstar Dmitri Damien!!" She shouted in happiness...
"What!!??" Minerva also got exited and snatched the tickets from her... And frowned...
"What is it? Why are you frowning?" Diana asked her confused.. She couldn't understand the reason of her frowning all of a sudden...
"What is the date today?" Minerva asked seriously...
"17th July, but why are you asking me the date all of a sudden?" She pinched her nose in confusion...
Minerva tapped her head with her finger...
"Oww.. It hurts.." Diana complained..
"You deserve it.." Minerva said with a sullen face... She then waved the tickets in front of Diana's eyes "the concert was in 13th July and you brought the tickets today?? Silly girl, it's over four days ago..." She threw the tickets on the bed and went to her chair again..
"What!!? It's impossible.." Diana was stunned.. She quickly picked up the tickets and check the dates.. It's indeed over four days ago... That means Justin fooled her... She started seeing things red in anger and embarrassment... She wanted to strangled that bitch with her bare hands!!!
She was about to leave in anger but Minerva stopped her "where are you going? To take revenge?" She didn't look at her but she knew Diana very well and know where she was going...
"Ofcourse, I am!! Shouldn't I go and strangle that bitch!!" Diana grinned her teeth...
Minerva stopped typing and looked at her and said "No, you shouldn't..." Her expression was calm and composed.. There was no sign of anger or disappointment on her face...
