My love

Chapter 1

My name is Hayat. I am 22 years old; I will be 23 this year, and I am very single. When I say that I am single, I mean not married. I'll be single until I get that ring. I have been in a relationship with my boyfriend for 2 years; it will be 3 years this year. I have been told that there is still no prospect of marriage between us. I mean, it's not because of me, obviously. If he tells me to get married today, I will start packing. but obviously he is not. He is 37 years old. What is he waiting for, I wonder? He got a beautiful, young girl. What is he waiting for?

So let me first tell you how my story with him started. It started in 2020; actually, it started before I met him. Once upon a time, there was a girl who was dreaming of her soulmate. She just completed her internship at a leasing company.

I was 18 years old at that time. I was currently pursuing my accounting degree.

My boss resigned from the company and joined another company. And at the same time, my internship was over. My boss asked me to have an interview for a job there. I agree and i got the job which I joined in November. Ezra came to my country in December for a project in the company that I just joined. I don't know about you guys, but I believe in destiny. I was born in December and he came to my country in the month. For me it was not a coincidence, it was destiny only. Whether he is my lesson or my soulmate, only time will tell.

Fast forward to January, when we first met.

Sarah who is my boss who brought me here came to me. '' Allison, Jane our tea lady and the receptionist is not here to do, would you make some coffee for some people who are in the boardroom, they are from Canada.'' I wanted to say no, but I just joined, and I feel grateful for the chance that she gave me. '' I don't know how to make tea," I replied to her. She told me, "That's okay; if they don't like it, tell them to still drink it.'' I laughed nervously.

I would never have known who was waiting for me in the boardroom.

 I arrived in the boardroom and there it was the tea machine, i have never used it and it was staring me. I turned my face and he was. The most handsome man that I ever saw. '' She will be the one making the tea. That's okay; we don't need it," the colleague of Ezra said. I smiled, but inside I still had no idea how to use that machine. then all of a sudden, Erica from my team came and started to make the tea. I stood there looking at him, but he was not looking at me. No one was looking at me; they were busy waiting for their tea. that's okay for me. After the tea was done, I returned to my place. and that was how I first met him.

Days passed, and  I finally met his again but this time he really saw me. There was a project in the office, and they needed someone to take the minutes.

I went to the boardroom with my notepad and pen, having no idea what I was supposed to do. There he was. '' Meet Hayat; she works with Mr. Matt," said Sarah. '' But she is so young; is it allowed?" he replied, looking at me. Come on I know I look young but not that young. An just like that weeks passes and every week that we had meeting he forgot my name. He misspelled it every time that we met. It is frustrating me. Am I not worth remembering my name?

Every day is the same for me: I wake up, get to work and home, and sleep. But one day during the office lunch time, I was craving chocolate, so I went out to buy some, and there he was with his friend. He saw and said, '' how are you.'' I said, "Fine, and how about you?" '' Now that I saw you, I am fine," he replied in Italian. Stupid me, I fell for this line.

Weeks passed again, and one day was the last time that I saw him. We went into lockdown because of Covid. I did not think about him, which was good. Anyway, I enjoyed the lockdown.

Life was so much beautiful without being in love, without caring so much of person, without giving someone your heart that he can break in any second. How I wish I could I have gone and slapped myself and tell me to stop being so stupid. No man deserves that much love. 

This is based on my real and ongoing life. I want people to know and listen to my story. And maybe some advice on how to get out of this beautiful mess that I have created.
