The cool breeze sent shivers down my whole body as I stepped out from the car to the green lawn, which is still wet from the morning dew. I breathed in the cold air, with my eyes closed and heart still beating fast because of the happiness and nervousness at the same time.

I opened my eyes and gazed at the huge building in front of me. This was all I ever wanted. A life where I can pursue my dreams in the University which I always counted on getting in and come out as an independent woman.

The Canadian scenery was too overwhelming, a sight that I can never take my eyes off of. The green pastures and the blooming flowers added more colours to the grandeur of the building.

"Eliza." I was brought back from the trance by a powerful shake on my shoulders. I looked down and met my eyes with my friend's, who's looking straight at me with a 'you're doing that thing again' face.

"What? I was just thinking, Han." I replied cheekily.

"I don't have any problem about you thinking, Ms. John. But next time try not to space out like that. It's like you left the planet, when you do that." She complained flicking lightly at my forehead.

"Ouch.. Hannah that hurts." I faked a cry rubbing my forehead.

"Whatever, you crybaby. Go dash to his office and come quickly. I will wait over here." She scoffed. I knew she didn't want to be left alone here, but she is doing it just for me.

"No worries, sweety. You don't have to wait just go and save a seat for me. I will come quickly." I assured her and I saw her taking the route map from her bag, "...and don't worry I know the way to our room. I have already noted it down here." I smiled pointing at my head.

I waved her a 'see ya' before finding my way to the Director's office. The long hallways made me feel like I should take a taxi to reach the office. I took a mental note to always carry the route map or else god knows where will I end up.

I remembered the phone call from my brother last night.

"Ella, when will you be going tomorrow?" His deep voice could be recognised from anywhere.

"I don't know, about 8:30 I guess. I need to ask Hannah." I groaned while trying to untangle the blanket coiled up on my legs.

"I suppose you are still on the bed. You never change, will ya?" I heard him chuckling from the other end.

"You are asking me to quit something I treasure the most. Your annoying voice is already killing my sleep." I complained.

"What the.... Anyways back to the point. Try to go early because William wants to meet you before the class."

"What? Why? I always stutter in front of that old man and his authoritative voice. No offence."

"None taken. Even I stutter still. Well he wants to meet you. You know he's stubborn. Atleast he likes you very much and smiles at you. He looks at me like he's waiting to snap at me the moment something goes wrong with us." I chuckled hearing my brother's voice laced with fear when talking about his father-in-law.

"Alright, Evan. I will go."

"Yah, I'm older, call me chettan (older brother). He whined.

"Never in a million years." I laughed like the evil sister I am, before disconnecting the call.

I didn't realise I reached the office already. But someone was already in there, so I waited as I sat on one of the chairs aligned outside the office labelled 'Director's Office' in bold letters.

I sighed remembering my brother, Evan and my sister-in-law, Jenna's love life. It was a rollercoaster ride. And the one for whom I'm waiting here is my brother's father-in-law. He's a Canadian and whereas his wife is an Indian like me.

He is a very strict father-in-law like he should be when it comes to his daughter. Whereas he's sweetest man when it comes to me and Emily, my sister. He sees us as his daughters, little sisters to Jenna. Jenna and I gets along really well too. William, her father and I are not that close. I'm a little introverted when it comes to socializing, contrary to the business field I have chosen. I'm sure I will pick up the pace and excel once I set foot on something I want. I can be a little stubborn too.
