Promise me that no matter where life takes you, you'll come back for me.
Mikel, you work harder than most young men in this village. May God reward your efforts one day.
Amen. Amen, Mama.
Take this, Mikel.
It's not much, but thank you for your help today.
Thank you, Mama. I truly appreciate it.
You are a good boy.
At least I have something for today. Thank God.
Mikel, you're just coming back?
Yes, I was helping on a farm today.
You work too hard.
Someone has to.
Have you eaten today?
Not yet.
You work too hard.
I'll be fine.
Abigail, when will you understand?
Mama, what's the problem?
So, you still haven't been listening to me?
Mama, what is it?
Come inside.
So, you're still seeing that boy after everything I told you?
Mama, he's just my friend.
A friend who has nothing to offer you.
Mama, I don't know what Mikel has done to make you dislike him so much.
It's not about liking him.
Then why don't you like him?
Take a good look around this house. Do you like what you see? I've lived this life before, and I don't want my daughter to live it again. I married your father because I loved him. I thought love would be enough. Look where that love brought me.
But Mama, not everyone ends up the same way. Mikel is hardworking. He's trying his best.
Hardworking? I've worked hard all my life. Look around you.
What has he changed? That boy is all alone. He has no father, no mother. Who is going to help him build a few a future? You are too beautiful for this life. I want something better for you. Please, stay away from him.
Since we finished school, all I've done is stay at home. I feel like my dreams are slipping away.
Don't give up. We still have the scholarship exam.
Scholarship exam? I haven't even registered for it.
Don't worry. I've been saving for months. I already registered both of us.
You used your savings to register me, too? Michael, you should have registered only yourself.
What kind of friend would I be if I registered only myself? Let's write the exam first and see what happens. Today, we will know who is truly prepared. This opportunity can change your future, so use it wisely.
Michael, I'm nervous.
Don't be. We both did our best. Let's just hope at least one of us makes it.
Thank you all for participating in this scholarship examination. The results have been carefully reviewed. Today, one candidate will receive a full university scholarship. The results have been carefully reviewed. The winner of this year's full university scholarship is Michael.
I'm so happy for you. Congratulations.
Thank you. Please wait here. I'll be right back.
Congratulations once again, Mikael.
Thank you, sir. Sir, can a scholarship be transferred to someone else?
Yes, a scholarship can be transferred. But you worked hard for this. Go home and think about it carefully before making your final decision.
Thank you, sir.
What took you so long?
Nothing important.
Are you sure?
Yes. Let's go.
Abigail, Mikael returned this morning. He made a decision.
A decision, sir?
Yes.
He requested that the scholarship be transferred to you.
What?
Mikael.
Abigail, please just sign the papers.
Why would you do this for me?
Abigail, you've dreamed about this for as long as I've known you. I couldn't watch that dream slip away. I'm still trying to figure out my own life. I don't know what tomorrow holds for me. But I know this opportunity belongs to you. So go. Study. Build the future you've always wanted. But just promise me something.
Anything.
Promise me that no matter where life takes you, you'll come back for me.
I promise. Mom! I'm going to university!
What are you talking about?
I got the scholarship!
You got it?
Mom, Mikael gave up his scholarship for me.
He did what?
He transferred the scholarship to me. Why would he do something like that? Mom, I told you Michael is a good person.
I never said he wasn't. But be careful. People don't make sacrifices like that for no reason.
You call me when you get there, right?
I will.
Be good.
Wow. This place is beautiful.
First day back?
Let's see what this semester brings. Guy, what's wrong with you? Who is she? Guy, don't tell me you're falling in love already. I just asked who she is.
After staring at her like that? Find out her name.
The future you want begins with the choices you make here. University will not force you to succeed. Your choices will.
First year student, her name is Abigail.
Hm. So, that's the girl.
You're my roommate?
Yes. I'm Clara.
I'm Abigail. You're a fresher, too?
Yes.
Thank God you are.
Why?
At least I won't be getting lost alone.
Hello, Michael.
How are you?
I'm fine.
How is school?
School is okay. Only that I'm missing you. It's not the same here without you, too. Hope you're taking care of yourself.
I'm trying. Don't worry about me. I'm happy you're finally in school. I just miss seeing you every day.
Do you know where lecture hall B is? No? Wonderful.
You don't know, too? I've been pretending since morning.
There she is again. Don't tell me you're still thinking about that girl. Man, I think I'm falling for her. If you like her that much, why don't you just go and talk to her?
It's not that easy.
For you? Since when? Guy, you're rich, good-looking, and every girl on this campus would gladly talk to you.
Wait here. Let me get us something to drink.
Hi.
Hello.
I'm Nathan.
I'm Abigail.
You're new here, right?
Yes.
I thought so. I haven't seen you around before.
I just got admitted.
That explains it. Well, welcome to campus. All right, I'll let you enjoy your lunch. See you around, Abigail.
Okay. Wait. Was that Big N I just saw here?
Big who?
Big N. Nathan. The billionaire's son. I know I'm still a fresher, too. But even I know who he is.
He's one of the most famous guys on this campus. Wait. Are you guys dating?
Dating? How is that possible? I just got admitted. He came over to say hi. Can I have my drink now? Why not? Most girls on this campus would do anything just to have Big E sit at their table.
So, you finally talked to her. Yeah.
It's only the first conversation. Nothing serious yet. There are plenty of girls on this campus. No. Yeah. There's something special about her. I'll keep trying until she gives me a chance.
