Prologue
The wind blew across her face as she stood facing the sea. Lost in her thoughts she hardly noticed the people around her, busy with their own lives. Chatting, laughing and enjoying. Just like them, she was engrossed in her thoughts as well. She was thinking about him. She was not supposed to. Yet the smell of the fresh salt forced its way inside her mind and forced her to think. And she wondered how she really felt about him. It was not love. And it was something more than friendship. But what was it called. Like so many others, her question too remained unanswered and with a sigh, she turned around and started towards her home. And back to the life which had several unanswered questions, leaving behind the water edge. And back to where her life was suspended. Between love and friendship…
Chapter 1
"Hey Musa! Wait up. Ms pharagonda has been looking for you. She needs to talk to you about the coming open house. Maybe you should hurry", A girl with honey brown hair came running from the library on seeing Musa passing through the corridor.
Musa smiled and nodded, "I'll see her immediately. Thanks Michelle." The 1st Year girl blushed as one of the most popular seniors of Alfea smiled at her. Everyone knew about the winx club. The stories of Bloom, Stella, Musa, Flora and Techna never missed an ear. They were known all over Alfea and Magix for their valiant battles against the witches and other evils that cast a dark shadow over Magix.
Musa headed straight to the headmistress's office and knocked on the door. "I have been waiting for you dear. Come in.", came Ms Pharagonda's voice from the other side of the door. Musa went inside and greeted her.
"Yes Ma'am. Michelle just told me." Musa said. "Ah!That girl from the 1st year batch. She holds huge potentials. Who knows she might even be the leader of the next winx club." Ms Pharagonda smiled and beckoned to Musa to take a seat.
"I wanted to talk about the open house of this session. This time we have many counts and countesses coming as well. Probably for checking if Alfea is still the same. As you are very well aware of it, after the witches intrusion into our castle, we are answerable to many concerned parents and also dukes and dutches. So once again I would need the winx club to aid me. For you I would again like you to take care of the cultural part. Please ensure that you do everything that you can to give it the best you can. Get the best musicians, the best equipments. You will have some Red fountain boys under you for help which…" Ms Pharagonda's eyes gleamed with a taunting texture as she continued "..would include Riven as the head."
A blushing smile spread across Musa's face as she heard her fiancé's name. "Thank you Ma'am. I would do my best I assure you." Musa got up to leave. "I am sure you will dear." Smiled Ms Pharagonda. "Will you mind sending in Techna next. I really need her and Timmy to take care of the security. We need it tight."
"Yes Ma'am. Take care."
And Musa left the office and took out her cell phone and dialed the number she was most familiar with. The ring went on and on but there was no answer on the other side. She sighed and smiled. "Busy bee" She thought to herself and headed to her room.
