The Secret Canvas: A Tale of Art and Adventure

If you enjoy this story please reblog. As always feedback is encouraged and welcome. Summary: Upon inheriting a mansion Virgil's exploration leads to unexpected adventures.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`

“Hi Virgil!” The executor, Sarah, met up with him as the taxi drove away. “Thank you for meeting me, especially on such short notice and all the way out here.”

Virgil slung his backpack over his shoulder and sighed.

She continued. “It’s just that it was extremely hard to find-”

Virgil tuned out what she was saying and looked at the house in front of him. It was a mansion, literally. Two, maybe three stories tall, a wrap-around porch, a turret on one side and so many windows.

‘Who lives here?’ Virgil wondered following Sarah up the stairs.

“I’ll show you to the office and we’ll go over some things.” She unlocked the door and Virgil entered behind her.

“Wow,” He couldn’t help but mumbled. The inside was old? Antique? He wasn’t sure, but it was stunning. Some of the furniture had white covers and there was dust everywhere.

He was in a lobby area with what he guessed were chairs and side tables. Stairs wrapped around and there was a balcony looking down with doors going past what he could see.

“In here please?” Sarah opened a door to his left.

Virgil put down his backpack and followed her.

This room was clean compared to the rest of the house. A desk and some chairs. A bookshelf lined the back wall.

Sarah sat on a chair and pulled out some papers. “First order of business.” She handed Virgil a copy.

“This is a sealed will and I was named the Executor of it. Legally, I don’t have to give you a copy or explain this to you, but it states that the inheritance must go to next of kin and you seem young, I’ll do you the favor.”

“Okay,” Virgil looked confused. “If this is a will, do I have to sign anything?”

“No,” Sarah smiled. “That’s only in movies. You sign if you disagree and take it back to court. Because you are the sole beneficiary, you did get notice to get a copy of the will if you like. I don’t think you knew about that though.”

Virgil shook his head, looking at the papers in his hand. Sarah continued.

“Because you’re the only one with assets to get, the probate stage was a lot faster than normal, and I waited to meet with you in person until it was over.”

“So I could’ve found this out at any point, since when?”

“For about a 6 months now. Like I said, legally I don’t have to give you a copy, just have to let you know how to get one. And I don’t have to meet you in person. But I feel in your best interest, it would be better for me to do so.”

“Thanks?” Virgil looked at the papers. “Not to be insensitive but who is Walter Brooks?”

“I believe he was your great-great grandfather’s uncle.”

“Never heard of him.”

“He was a painter. Like you.” She beamed.

“You know-”

“Have you heard of Eliot Canvas?” She seemingly changed the subject.

“Practically all painters know him. No one knows who his real identity is.”

“Yeah, turns out it’s Walter Brooks. The paintings that are not finished around the house confirm that.”

Virgil sat back in his chair. Disbelief written on his face, Sarah laughed.

“You are getting his house as well as everything in it.”

“Why am I getting all his things? There was no one else? No grand kids? No brothers with family?”

“You are next of kin. You’re the only person alive with relation to him.”

“If it was that long ago why now?”

“His will stated to read through when his brother’s and sister’s passed on. The last one did sometime last year. This is your house now, I think you’ll like it. It’s surrounded by trees and a big yard and no one really comes on this side of town anyway. Likely you won’t be disturbed by a bunch of neighbors.” She handed him a key and a notepad with some numbers on it. “There’s a safe in one of the rooms. I have to get going, but it was nice meeting you and I wish you good luck.” They stood and Sarah reached and shook Virgil’s hand.

Not long after Virgil was left in silence. “Time to explore I guess.” He muttered to himself, picking up his backpack he walked up the stairs.

The upstairs was a little less decorated than the downstairs, but the view looking down was beautiful nonetheless. A chandelier Virgil didn’t notice before hung on the ceiling a little ways away from the doorway and light from one of the windows shone on it, beaming little rainbows across the room. There was a hallway with doors lined up and down both sides.

“Start from one side I guess.” Virgil walked to one end of the hall. “Empty room.” He moved on to the next. “Empty... Empty... Empty... Empty… Empty… Do any of these at least have a bed?” The next few doors were also empty and Virgil was on the last one from the hallway. “Emp-” Virgil paused when he saw it wasn’t empty like he expected. “Stairs?” A circular railing led up somewhere and Virgil walked into the room.

“Must be the attic.” He climbed the stairs. “Wow,” He breathed out. It was brighter than he expected, caused by the many windows lining the wall, letting in natural light. The sunset created a glow across the room, filled with mostly blank canvas’s and a few half-finished ones.

Pulling out his own smaller canvas and paintbrush Virgil walked up to the window, in awe at the view.

Forest was in front of him and to his right a field half full of flowers and half of what he assumed were weeds. Faintly in the distance to his left he saw some roofs of buildings, most likely the rest of town. Sarah was right, this house is secluded. ‘Just the way I like it.”

Paintbrush still in hand he turned to look at the rest of the canvas’s in the room. “That’s odd?” He noticed a finished painting behind some half finished ones.

The odd thing wasn’t that it was finished, but that it had no dust on it. “For an old painting it sure looks clean.”

He walked over towards it. From what he could see, it was the view he just saw out the window, and it did have some small differences. Instead of buildings in the distance it was more trees and the field was all flowers. Virgil moved the paintings in front of it and picked up the finished canvas.

In an instant, light blinded him and he had to close his eyes. Virgil slowly opened his eyes and found himself in a strangely familiar field. “The painting!”

Ode to holiday bliss

Where sun's embrace paints skies with gold

And azure waters sing a tale so bold,

A seaside haven beckons, all cares unfold.

On sands like silk, where dreams take flight,

We revel in the holiday's bright plight,

Basking in the sun's celestial light.

The ocean's dance, a symphony divine,

Waves lulling us to rest, so fine,

In salty bliss we lose all sense of time.

With each soft whisper, secrets it imparts,

Of coral reefs and hidden mermaid hearts,

Nature's whisper whispers its coastal art.

The sky, a canvas painted shades sublime,

Where clouds float by like dreams in gentle chime,

Their cotton tendrils reach for the shore's rhyme.

The hour departs as dusk descends so deep,

Casting a golden glow where shadows weep,

Stars twinkle above, a celestial peep.

The sea calls out, its rhythm bold and free,

Waves crashing upon the sandy glee,

A symphony that sets our spirits free.

We surrender to its lull, its gentle sway,

Salt on our skin, a vibrant spray,

As memories of this day forever stay.

To the seashore, the sea whispers its tale,

Of distant lands and adventures set to sail,

In its depths, mysteries never fail.

The beach becomes our confidante so true,

Where hearts find solace, dreams come into view,

Laughter and joy, our spirits it anew.

As night descends, the stars ignite,

Casting a spell upon the seaside night,

A blanket of darkness, soft and light.

In the company of friends, by firelight's glow,

We share stories and memories as they grow,

Moments that linger, like the stars above, we know.

With heavy hearts, we bid farewell to this day,

But memories woven, we will hold sway,

The holiday's magic, forever in our hearts to stay.

history.

found upon ship, the sole survivor of what was clearly a raid where the culprits meant for no one to survive, when he was only a baby, edvard was almost sent off to the nearest orphanage but the sigurdsson intervened, welcoming him into their home instead. some would expect that a child who'd witnessed so much violence, not that he remembered any of it, would carry scars, but not edvard. he was a gentle child, constantly following after his parents, asking whatever question entered his mind, and getting lost in his daydreams.

when other children his age would rush to pick up their wooden swords and shields, teddy would reach for a paintbrush instead. his room was full of sketches and painted canvas until eventually he was gifted a studio of his own in the sigurdsson household for his birthday. there he would remain for hours when the weather was too inclement for him to paint outside, where he preferred to practice his art. he might struggle in his other lessons, numbers not sticking in his mind and politics holding no appeal, but he excelled in his artistic pursuits. but teddy remained humble, a sheepish smile always adorning his expression when his paintings were praised.

while art was his focus, he did dabble in exploration as he entered his early twenties, setting sail on his own ship to explore lands he'd only ever read of before. he never remained away for long, homesickness constantly pulling him back, but returned each time with grand tales and beautiful drawings of the sights he'd seen.

his family's close relationship with the oldenburg royals allowed edvard to visit the royal court whenever he pleased, and he took full advantage of the privilege. the glamor of court enthralled him, the parties excited him, and the vast number of people he met there meant that every visit felt different. however, no mater how often he visited he remained oblivious to the growing political tensions in the wake of the king's disappearance and how deep they ran. there was never a thread of doubt in his mind that the king would return. one need only look to stories, edvard thought, to see it true. the great odysseus took a decade after the war but he made the journey home. until that day arrived, teddy couldn't think of anyone better to watch over norway than his father.

teddy had a more difficult time avoiding the growing conflicts at home. he adored both of his parents and hated seeing the distance grow between them. he also didn't understand why his older brother suddenly began quarreling with their father. for most of his life, edvard had been quietly envious of how close the pair were while he was left chasing after their father for approval ( not that it made him love his brother any less ). somehow he managed to evade the conflicts most of the time; when that didn't work, he did his best to play peacekeeper.

he saw the king's return as a blessing for all. the oldenburgs were reunited, his father would no longer be so busy, his mother would be happy, and the line of royal inheritance was clear. surely all conflicts would quiet. but a year passed and no matter how teddy tried closing his eyes he still caught glimpses of the lingering tensions. he hoped that their time in ethiopia, where peace was the priority, would eliminate whatever conflict remained amongst all the norwegian families, especially his own.

A Tale of Hearts Entwined

Chapter Two: Whispers in the Wind

Summary: In the enchanting town of Hawkins, where reality intertwined with the extraordinary, two souls - Steve Harrington and Emily - forged an unbreakable bond from childhood days of scraped knees and hidden adventures

Paring: Steve Harrigton x Oc!EmilyTurner

A/n: I wrote this chapter in my campus library and it made me feel like I was Shakespeare.

****

The transition into middle school was a wave of change that neither Steve nor Emily had anticipated. The hallways seemed longer, the lockers taller, and the social dynamics more intricate. As they navigated the hallways on their first day, Steve's confidence wavered, and Emily's curiosity turned into a quiet observation of the shifting landscape.

Despite the challenges, their bond remained unbreakable. In the sea of new faces and changing friendships, they found solace in each other's company. Lunch breaks were spent sharing secrets and making each other laugh, their connection a haven amid the chaos.

Yet, Emily couldn't help but notice the subtle shifts in Steve's behavior. He was more conscious of his image, his hair taking on a carefully tousled appearance, and he had joined the basketball team, eager to be a part of a crowd that mattered. Emily watched from the sidelines, her heart aching for the friend she saw struggling beneath the surface.

One afternoon, after school, Emily found Steve alone on the bleachers, gazing out at the basketball court with a distant look in his eyes. She took a seat beside him, the silence between them comforting and familiar.

"You okay, Steve?" she asked softly.

He sighed, his shoulders slumping. "Yeah, just... trying to figure things out, you know?"

Emily nodded. "You don't have to change who you are to fit in, Steve."

He glanced at her, a mixture of surprise and gratitude in his eyes. "You really think so?"

"Absolutely. The people who matter will see you for who you are."

A small smile tugged at his lips. "You always know what to say, Em."

As the weeks turned into months, their conversations continued to provide a sanctuary. Emily's understanding and Steve's vulnerability forged an even stronger connection. It was during one of those late-night phone calls that the topic of dreams and aspirations arose.

"What do you want to do in the future, Steve?" Emily asked, curiosity lacing her voice.

He hesitated for a moment, his voice contemplative. "I've always loved art, you know? But I guess it seems silly."

"Art isn't silly," Emily said firmly. "If it's something you're passionate about, then you should pursue it."

Steve's smile was genuine, and Emily could feel the weight lifting off his shoulders. "Thanks, Em. I needed to hear that."

As the school year progressed, Emily's steadfast support helped Steve find the courage to embrace his passion for art. With her encouragement, he began sketching and painting in secret, using the canvas as an outlet for his thoughts and emotions.

One weekend, as they sat in their secret spot in the woods, Steve hesitated before pulling out a sketchbook. "I want to show you something."

Curiosity piqued, Emily watched as he revealed his sketches - intricate drawings of landscapes, people, and emotions that spoke volumes. Her eyes widened with admiration. "Steve, these are amazing!"

He looked almost bashful, his cheeks tinged with pink. "You really think so?"

"Absolutely. You have a gift."

In that moment, Steve felt a surge of gratitude for Emily's unwavering belief in him. Her support gave him the courage to embrace his identity beyond the confines of expectations.

As the sun began to set, casting a warm glow over the woods, Steve and Emily sat side by side, their shoulders touching, a shared secret and an unspoken understanding binding them. Little did they know, their journey was only beginning, and the whispers of their hearts were growing stronger, guiding them toward a destiny they couldn't yet fathom.

In a time of careless touches & selfish wander,

Vandalised walls, were sacred, lay bare.

What bloomed in mornings dew,

Dulled, tamed by pilgrams unaware.

What gleamed in midnight's light

Vitiated by Insensitive meander & siphon stare

An amusement, a spectacle, a theoretical jest,

Your quivers are for game,affection mere pleasantry.

Addicted to wordplay, they are jewels in your ear.

Yet the commotion of the heart yearns the elementary.

A time meaning dripped like honey,

A season a sanctuary bled vulnerability

A day dream, a crave bitter sweet,

You've known enough, a bellowed soliloquy,

Caresses dipped in promised care, a stimulus,

A dead flame, sought an empty surrender.

A conditioned crave for adulterated intimacy,

Magnify a pallet adorned in pretense & adventure.

Relinquishing home, in pursuits of apogee,

What is Odyssey, a forsaken earnest hunger

Patience, a love deficient on your skin,

Knowing you whole, a philosophy opaque to remiss souls,

I honor you with my hands, a coveted liberation, for a canvas latent in wonder, an unrefined gold

A taboo, To enagge without conviction,

my raison dêtre, unveils the divine secrets of old.

A craftsman, a creator, an author, an artisan of sorts,

Dedicated to paint & brush, Avidity unleash its hold

A pottor graced clay, a nurtured form,

Nakedness, immorality housed in clothes, unfold.

Bewitched by curiosity & wonder,

& all its galore,

Story of anticipation, a love composed.

The tales that lay beneath skin,

an opus, a bible, a scroll, I'm eager to know.

Sunk deep in service exploring your mahogany hue.

Prune & chisel, a sculptures honest desire,

To discover life in stone, intricacies of bone&tissue.

Intrigued in details weaved, a blemished tapestry

& divulge tales untold, shielded in a flowered venue.

flesh flustered by discernment, Goosebumps

A response to heavens sagacious residue.

A devout healer, for what rests in my hands,

I'm called to nurture, effleurage, Petrissage.

Therapeutic art, a pride, a Smith,

A preserver of beauty hidden by pillage.

Exploring culture in the curves of scars,

Concealed knowledge and indomitable heritage,

A fabric, a woman, a shell of the heavens,

A palm, an embrace, my delicate clay.

Evaluating the Genre and Theme When considering a purchase of "The Moonlit Journey", it's essential to assess if the book's genre and overarching themes resonate with your preferences. Reflect on whether you enjoy narratives that revolve around adventure, self-discovery, or mythology, as these are often central elements in such stories. Additionally, the thematic depth, including the exploration of human emotions and connections, should align with your reading desires. If the thought of a character navigating through a fantastic and symbolic landscape piques your interest, this could be a good fit. Analyzing the Author’s Writing Style Understanding the author's writing style is crucial in determining if their storytelling method matches your reading taste. Review previous works by the author or look for excerpts from "The Moonlit Journey" to get a sense of their narrative voice. Consider whether you prefer a descriptive, lyrical prose or a more straightforward and concise manner of writing. It is also worthwhile to think about pacing – does a slow, richly woven tale appeal to you, or do you lean towards fast-paced, action-driven stories? Assessing Reviews and Ratings Reviews and ratings can provide valuable insights into the strength of "The Moonlit Journey. Look for both professional critics’ reviews and reader feedback, as they can offer diverse perspectives. Check for recurring comments or themes, such as character development, plot complexity, and emotional impact, which may influence your decision. However, remain critical of the reviews, keeping in mind the subjective nature of reading experiences – what might be a downside for one could be an appealing factor for another. Comparing Editions and Formats "The Moonlit Journey" may be available in different editions and formats, such as hardcover, paperback, eBook, or audiobook. If you have a preferred format for comfort or convenience, this will play an essential part in your choice. Consider whether you value the tactile sensation of a physical book or the portability and accessibility of an electronic or audio version. Additionally, special editions may offer extras like illustrations or author notes, which could enhance your reading experience. Understanding Price Points Price is always a consideration when purchasing a book. Compare the costs across various retailers and platforms to find the best deal for "The Moonlit Journey". Keep in mind that prices can vary with format – usually, e-Books are less expensive than hardcovers. Additionally, check if there are any discounts or promotions available or if purchasing a used copy is a viable, cost-effective option. Remember, investing in a book that provides value in terms of enjoyment and a fulfilling experience can be worth the expense. Identifying Supplementary Materials and Extras Books like "The Moonlit Journey" might come with supplementary materials such as discussion guides, author interviews, or additional content that enhances the reader’s engagement with the story. If you value a deeper understanding of the book or access to ancillary content, these additions can be significant. Investigating whether these materials are included, or available separately, may affect your decision to purchase one edition over another. Considering Book Club and Discussion Potential If you are part of a book club or enjoy discussing literature with others, consider the potential of "The Moonlit Journey" as a discussion piece. Some narratives lend themselves to analysis and conversation more readily than others. Think about whether the themes and structure of the book will provide ample material for thought-provoking discussion. Books that challenge perspectives or have multifaceted characters often make excellent choices for group exploration.

Magical Birthday Scrolls: A Creative Spell for Summoning Wishes from Indian Celebrities

In a realm where birthdays are not merely celebrated but enchanted with the dust of stardom, the quest for a spellbinding element leads to the discovery of a magical pathway - how to get birthday wishes from Indian celebrities. Imagine a scroll, unfurling with a message not scripted by ink, but voiced in the melodious tones or vibrant expressions of India's cherished stars. This narrative delves into the art of conjuring a birthday video from a celebrity, transforming your celebration from the mundane to the extraordinary.

The Gathering of Stars

Embark upon this enchanting journey by summoning your constellation of beloved celebrities. Let your quill hover over parchment, drafting a list that transcends realms - be it the cinematic universe, the athletic arenas, the lyrical forests, or the literary heavens. This gathering of stars forms the celestial body from which your birthday wish will be granted.

Charting the Celestial Map

To navigate this quest, one must seek the celestial map - the online platforms that serve as portals between fans and their luminary idols. These mystical domains are where dreams intertwine with reality, offering a catalogue of stars willing to bestow their blessings through personalized video messages, thus revealing the secret to how to get birthday wishes from Indian celebrities.

Casting the Request Spell

Upon pinpointing the star whose light you wish to capture in your birthday scroll, the next incantation involves casting the request spell. This spell is most potent when whispered into the portal with ample time before the day of celebration, for the stars too need moments away from their celestial duties to craft your message.

Weaving Personal Enchantments

For a scroll that resonates with the very essence of the recipient, imbuing it with personal enchantments is key. When dispatching your request to the star, embellish it with tales, desires, and the unique spark of the individual whose day you wish to illuminate. This not only guides the star in their message but also weaves a connection between realms, making the birthday video from a celebrity a tapestry of personal touch and starlight.

The Revelation Ritual

The moment of revealing the birthday scroll to its intended is a ritual in itself. Should it unfurl amidst a gathering of kith and kin, under the glow of twilight, or in a serene moment shared between stars and earthly beings? The setting of this revelation is a canvas, awaiting your brush to paint the perfect picture of awe and delight.

Preserving the Celestial Wishes

Unlike the ephemeral nature of time, a birthday video from a celebrity is a piece of eternity, captured and preserved. It becomes a relic of joyous moments, a beacon of cherished memories, and a testament to the spellbinding adventure embarked upon to secure such a treasure.

Sharing the Stardust

In the afterglow of celebration, sharing the stardust contained within the birthday scroll with the world not only multiplies the joy but also sends forth gratitude into the universe, reaching the star whose message adorned the day. It is a circle of joy, unbroken and radiant, echoing through the social realms.

In Conclusion

So ends our tale of how to weave a spell to receive a birthday message from the pantheon of Indian stars. It's a journey of imagination, connection, and the magic of making a birthday not just a day marked by time, but a timeless celebration adorned with the warmth and dazzle of India's brightest stars. On this adventure, remember, it's not just about securing a birthday video from a celebrity, but about crafting a moment of wonder, cherished across the ages.

Roman Rhapsody

The cobblestone streets of Rome hummed with the echoes of a bygone era. Tourists marveled at the Colosseum's weathered grandeur, oblivious to the phantom gladiatorial roars and the murmur of emperors long past. But on a balmy May night in 1995, amidst this symphony of history, a new melody began to play. Saint-Marrié Teressja Kim, or Tere as her loved ones called her, entered the world on a crisp spring night, the air already shimmering with the promise of summer – a fitting introduction for a life destined to be vibrant and warm.

Tere's heritage was a rich tapestry woven from threads of fire and grace. Her father, Marco Kim, was an Italian-Korean, a man with a laugh as booming as the Colosseum itself. He brought a touch of Roman exuberance to their cozy apartment,regaling Tere with tales of his childhood in Seoul. He painted vivid pictures of bustling markets overflowing with vibrant fabrics and exotic spices, ancient temples that held the secrets of a thousand years, and the rhythmic beat of traditional Korean drums filling the air. These stories ignited a flicker of wanderlust within Tere, a yearning for a world beyond the familiar ochre walls of their Roman home.

Tere's life took an unexpected turn when her father, Marco Kim, secured a new job in Lage, Germany. Though a pang of sadness struck her at leaving the familiar warmth of Rome, Tere embraced the adventure with her characteristic enthusiasm. Germany offered a chance to experience another facet of her heritage – her father's Korean roots resonated strongly in this land that shared a border with Korea's divided peninsula.

Her mother, Hana Park, offered a counterpoint to Marco's boisterous energy. Korean-Indonesian, she possessed the quiet grace of a temple dancer, her movements deliberate and her smile serene. From Hana, Tere inherited a deep appreciation for beauty in all its forms. She saw it in the delicate folds of a silk kimono, the meticulous brushstrokes of a traditional Korean painting, and the way sunlight danced on the rippling surface of a koi pond. Hana also instilled in Tere a love for storytelling that manifested in the intricate origami cranes Tere meticulously folded as a child. Each crane, a testament to patience and precision, held a silent narrative, a story waiting to be whispered.

Saint George's British International School became Tere's playground. Founded upon the very notion of cultural exchange, its hallways echoed with a symphony of languages, each a melody waiting to be learned. The air itself seemed to hum with the murmur of French verb conjugations, the rhythmic lilt of Italian sonnets, and the guttural strength of Korean consonants. The scent of oil paints mingled with the whispers of history, igniting a spark within Tere's inquisitive mind. Here, she was a curious butterfly flitting from flower to flower, her intellect drawn to the vast gardens of knowledge. Shakespearean sonnets danced alongside mathematical equations, while the rise and fall of empires unfolded alongside the intricate steps of traditional Korean dance. It was a stimulating feast for a young mind hungry for the world.

Within these venerable walls, Tere discovered a love for the arts that would become a lifelong companion. History wasn't simply a list of dates and battles etched on dusty parchments; it was a story brimming with drama and intrigue. Every corridor whispered tales of emperors and revolutionaries, their triumphs and tragedies echoing down the ages. These whispers ignited Tere's imagination. With each stroke of her pen, she brought those stories to life, weaving narratives of elegance and refinement. Her talent was undeniable, a sunrise bursting forth with an undeniable brilliance. The world became her canvas, and she, its enthralling artist. She crafted stories that resonated with classmates and teachers alike, leaving them yearning for the next brushstroke, the next chapter to unfold.

However, Tere's spirit craved more than just expression. As the eldest daughter in a family of two sisters, a mantle of leadership settled comfortably upon her shoulders. She possessed a natural grace, her decisions guided by the unwavering compass of her heart. This leadership quality extended beyond the family unit. Within the halls of Saint George's, Tere emerged as a natural organizer. She spearheaded school plays, transforming dusty stages into vibrant worlds, and led fundraising events, her infectious enthusiasm inspiring others to open their hearts and wallets. Her ability to inspire others and bridge cultural divides made her a trusted confidante and a respected leader among her peers.

Yet, even within the vibrant tapestry of her Roman life, a yearning for something more began to stir within Tere. The stories whispered in the halls of Saint George's, coupled with her father's tales of his Korean heritage, fueled a desire to explore these roots further. Graduation loomed on the horizon, a bittersweet finale to a chapter filled with love, learning, and self-discovery. But the whispers of new adventures beckoned, promising fresh experiences and an opportunity to further shape her destiny. With a heart brimming with excitement and a head buzzing with possibilities, Tere set her sights on the University of Indonesia, a gateway to a new chapter in her life's grand narrative.
