When The Love Lasts

Chapter 2

On the way to the function zeynep (my sister) noticed my absence of mind.

So she tried to make me laugh by showing me the couple at the road, they were literally fighting over the ice cream flavour!

Seriously? I think i could've ended up like that if Zayn loved me back. Anyways.

The entrance was decorated with soft golden lights, floral arches, the lantern hanging here and there and the air filled with aroma of fresh flowers, laughter and happy faces.

I wish i could be like them. Yk happy happy

I sit across one couch with a plush cushion, on the other couch sits Zayn and his cousins.

Just when it felt like i was ogling him his eyes turned to me and my heart skipped a beat. Not the old times duh.

He inspects me like i am literally begging him to love me yet he insists on keeping me far from himself.

I quickly looked away murmuring to Zeynep "whatever it's just the last time i am seeing him, not the other way around anyways. I will be gone", zeynep patted my shoulder and said, "it's okay Elif, you're doing good by ignoring him. Btw is your packing done? Your flight is in 6 hours",

" of course dumb everything's packed and i am taking your stuffed unicorn with me!" I said shrugging my shoulders. She screeches, " no wayy".

That night i didn't sleep and was awake all night thinking about him and the thoughts that he is not mine now and can never be mine again got me so numb.

"You're willing to waste your tears on someone who doesn't even give a shit?" I heard zeynep' s muffled voice, "i promise it's the last time you'll ever see me weak, and helpless for some shit dude".

Zeynep was the only one in my family alive, we reside together in a small house which we inherited from our father.

Even though she's my elder sister, she cares for me like my mother, and my heart aches that i am willing to leave her alone for my further studies in Sabancì university of Istanbul.

For instance, i am not going alone obviously but with my school friend, shayra. She is a good person though but annoys me sometimes well that's okay because i am gonna spend my very fking 5 years with her. Oh my god save me!

You know the hardest part is evacuation with the loved ones. Shayra and i said our goodbyes to Zeynep.

Ofc just like the romantice filmy scenes we cried, hugged each other. But the thing is can i be able to fit in Istanbul huh?...

"If i weren't for his cousin like sister i would gladly fall in love with him", shayra said with mischievous glint in her eyes.

On our whole way she was continuously babbling about her cousin who seem to be our landlord also because the house we're gonna live in is his.....
