Chapter 8 8

"My car broke down, and with this heavy rain, I can't get out of the car," she explained.

The man removed his mask, revealing a handsome face that left Devya completely captivated.

"Am I in heaven right now?" Devya wondered aloud.

The man waved his hand in front of Devya's face, snapping her out of her reverie.

"Yes, can you fix it now?" Devya said.

She retrieved an umbrella from her car and approached the man, who was opening the car trunk to get the spare tire.

"Can I assist you?" Devya asked, feeling somewhat uneasy because this kind stranger was helping her.

"Yes, please hold my helmet," he said, handing her the helmet.

Devya held the helmet with a smile, keeping the handsome man company as he changed the car's tire.

"Driving a car is not the only important skill, you should also know how to fix it yourself. In situations like this, you won't panic," the handsome man said as he finished his work.

"Y-yes," Devya stammered.

"Done," the handsome man announced.

Now, they were locked in each other's gaze. Devya was once again captivated by the man's stunning looks, his face resembling an angel's, making her wish she could marry him.

"Now, you should head home. I need to get going too," he said.

"Oh, here's your helmet," Devya offered, handing it to him.

The handsome man smiled sweetly. "Thank you," he said.

"N-no, I should be the one thanking you."

Devya watched as his perfectly sculpted figure mounted his motorcycle and put his mask back on. The handsome man smiled once more before driving away on his motorcycle.

"He's incredibly handsome. I feel like I'm in heaven," Devya said with a delighted smile.

She then got back into her car and hurriedly drove home because she had to complete her campus work.

"I'm home," Devya said.

"Where have you been, Devya? I've been waiting for you since noon, even the doctor has gone home," her mother said, folding her arms in front of her and looking sternly at her daughter.

"I'm sorry, Mom. I had to help my friend with some work. I promised her two days ago," Devya replied.

"What about your own work? Have you finished it?"

Devya just chuckled and was about to walk back to her room to work on her campus assignment.

"I need to hurry," she said.

While working on her assignment, her mind drifted back to the man who had just fixed her car, making her smile and feel very drowsy.

"I'm so sleepy, maybe I should take a quick one-hour nap and then continue with my campus work," Devya said.

She climbed onto her bed, lay down, and quickly fell asleep with the intention of waking up in an hour. Unfortunately, she couldn't work on her assignment because she was too tired and sleepy.

"I'm so tired. Maybe I'll do it tomorrow."

The alarm clock went off, and she woke up in a panic, realizing it was already 8 AM. She hurriedly showered, checked her empty campus assignment, and panicked even more. She quickly submitted all her campus assignments and rushed to campus.

"Mora!" Devya called out, waving her hand with a worried expression as she hadn't completed any of her campus assignments.

"Devya, where have you been? You haven't even submitted your campus assignment. I suspect you haven't finished it," Mora said.

Devya looked very worried and admitted that she hadn't done any of her campus assignments.

"I haven't done my campus assignment. Have you finished yours? Can I see yours?" Devya asked.

"Not anymore. I have to make you realize the importance of managing your time between friends and yourself. We can be good friends, but don't be foolish!" Mora said firmly.
