Lesson Learned : UNIVERSITY LIFE [COMPLETED]

Chapter 18

Friday was my birthday. I beamed with my happiness when my bestie and Jordan came to celebrate with me. That day was national holiday, so there was no class, it meant I could spend the day with all of my bestie and my boyfriend. We went to lunch together and watched the movie after it. I had so much fun, although I only could spent time together with them until sun down because Lana and Naomi would spend the long weekend with Alex, Dave, William, and their groups at the beach, Hannah would spent the long weekend with Hayden, while I would spent at my dorm with book because Jordan had his friends birthday at the club again. I didn't want to attend it and Jordan didn't force me to come with him. So, I was happy about it.

Because he had been very nice with me and kept him promise, I had plan to spend weekend with Jordan, but it was a surprise for him. It used to be him who gave me surprise with all the flower and chocolate and all sweet things. So, I decided that weekend it would be my turn, since I want to make memorable birthday for myself with my boyfriend.

On Saturday morning, I woke up earlier than I used to be. I went to the groceries store to buy egg, flour, and other things because I plan to cook breakfast for him. Then I went to the coffee shop buying some bread and coffee as a snack while waiting for the breakfast to be prepared. I looked at my watch,

Its already 9 am, Jordan should have awakened at this time.

I walked outside the coffee shop then headed to the bus station while clutching the food and groceries on both hands. The weather was sunny and beautiful on that Saturday morning, with warm breeze blew my hair. It didn't take long time for the bus to arrive, I hopped into the bus and sat on available seats. There were only few people inside the bus. I enjoyed the scenery from the window. The beautiful weather made a smile appeared on my face. I was very happy that day.

When the bus stopped at the destined place, I hopped from the bus and strolled to the apartment while humming a song. My eyes wandered around the place looking at the people who came and go from the apartment. A smile plastered on my face greeting the people who looked at me.

The elevator stopped at the destined floor. I stepped outside and walked to his room then stopped in front of his door and knocked. I waited for him a few minutes, but still no footsteps or other sound from inside his room. Then I knocked at the door again for the second time. But there was still no sound from inside the room. I wanted to call him but decided to turn the doorknob. Jordan ever said that he ever forgot to lock the door. Maybe it was one of that moment. It was the time to try my luck. I turned the doorknob and it clicked open, then I pushed open the door and stepped inside his apartment. And I froze because of the scene before me.

There were ladies' shoes laying around on the floor. My heart started beating rapidly. My breath was getting heavier. All my happiness suddenly drained away. Gulping, I walked quietly heading to his bedroom, breathing through my mouth. As I arrived in front of the door, there was noise coming from it. My common sense was screaming at me to walk out from the apartment leaving the scene, but my curiosity won. I took a deep breath, inhale and exhale, then touched the doorknob of the bedroom door. The noise and voice were getting clearer. There was a woman behind this door. The rapid pounding of my heart made my hand shaking. I gulped a big lump in my throat.

Should I let it, turn around, and pretend nothing happen?

Should I open the door to prove my curiosity?

I touched the cool surface of the doorknob again while thinking of my decision. My hand was shaking but then I made a decision to brace myself. Turning the doorknob quietly, I pushed open the door, peeked inside, and there I saw it. My worst nightmare. The betrayal was right in front of me. A naked woman was ontop of him, they both looked at me with utter horror on their face. I froze and felt suffocated. I quickly woke myself from my daze then spun around to walk out from his room, feeling disgusted, angry, betrayed, sad, and all the mixed feeling inside me.
