I'll Come To You (Boy x Boy) [COMPLETED]

Chapter 9

*JAYDEN POV*

One year later*

My sister got married to her fiance.

I prepared for my final exam for college.

I eventually passed and I was a valedictorian.

It hurts when the people I love the most couldn't attend my graduation ceremony, not even my mother.

My dad or Asad except for my sister and brothers. I waited to get accepted by the university of my dream.

I and Makayla decided to break up because I have to go to Valencia to live with my extended family and we didn't apply to the same university.

I was in my house three days before I will take my leave for Valencia. I heard a knock, I reached for the doorknob and opened the door. It was Karan.

"What are you doing here?" I surprisingly asked.

"I came here to say I'm sorry, I don't know what got into me, sorry for ruining your and Asad's relationship, please forgive me" he wailed.

I saw the pain in his eyes and I forgave him. He brought out a gift box.

"Here this is a gift on the behalf of the Jamal family, please take it," he said.

I took the gift from him as he left. I kept the box in my bag pack as I continue to back all my clothes.

On the third day, I went to the car pack for Valencia.

My younger brothers had gone before me.

I got to Valencia and met my family, they treated me like an egg. Life in Valencia felt much better than in the city. The following week, one of my aunts insisted I should start teaching In a community school and I agreed.

The following week, I started my first teaching day. I entered the class I was to teach. They were children, I placed my bag pack on the teacher's desk and decided on what to teach them. I started with something simple, I taught them some basic mathematics.

After an hour of blabbing about mathematics, I handed out the worksheet of the day and sat at the desk to grade.

The students started quietly chattering and working together. I searched my bag to look for any pen I saw in the box Karan gave me.

I opened the box it was a letter and a cheque. It was a goodbye letter from Asad, my heart breaks every word I read. I tried to put myself together not to cry in front of the kids.

"I'm done with my classwork" a kid yelled running to me, he submitted his note on my table and left.

After teaching, I will take a hike to the farm to assist my aunts and uncles with the wheat. I was so exhausted.

After a few weeks, I got used to it and I started working harder. Rain fell on a very day. My feet got muddy carrying the food we harvested home.

After dinner, everyone settled into their bedroom for the night. I stayed up and planned my bucket list if I ever got into college.

I hesitated to write

Meeting Asad again.

If I will ever meet him again. The memory of Karan kissing me in front of everyone and seeing Asad's reaction kept haunting me and gave me sleepless nights.

I held the panda bear close to my chest which gave comfort to sleep. It's funny how the stuffed animal warmed my heart. Because he gave me with his heart.

Two weeks later, a postman came and dropped a letter. I opened it, it was an acceptance letter to The University of California through scholarship, it was the most euphoric moment of my life.

Like the dark cloud in my mind suddenly fades away. I told all my relatives and we all celebrated with meals specially made for me by my grandmother for my matriculation.

The following day on a weekend I went to the bank to cash out the cheque, it was £30000. It was a huge amount of money I've ever held in my entire life.

My mind was divided into a thousand pieces of ideas. I didn't know where to begin with spending the money.

Three days after, I prepared my International passport and visa, and finally book a flight. I placed £5000 under my grandma's bed, hoping one day she will be lucky to find it. One month later. The flight to the USA leaves at 7 o'clock tonight. We had a family dinner and the last celebration for me.

Tears filled my eyes with a smile. I got to the airport and we departed for California the following day. It was my first time being out of the country.

Seven years later*

I got myself a new house after being promoted to business admin. I heard six years ago that my grandma found the money. I promised to visit them this winter. I still kept in touch with Mike and Makayla about what is going on with them.

I get to be with the boy who gave me £20 in secondary school, Jake. We met in the same organization and he was the reason why I was promoted.

He said he liked me since he first saw me in the cafeteria in secondary school. He asked me out and took me to many places in America, from north to south. I sold my house and decided to move to his. We are dating now.
