Love is not always a Bed of Roses 🥀 🥀🥀

Episode 11

At the University...

Love is not always a bed of roses. In every relationship, there are ups and downs. It is not always perfect and conflict free. It is about confronting.

As two years passed by and In the final year of their degree, Lev and Eros found themselves on diverging paths, their once harmonious relationship strained by the demands of academia and life. As they navigated the complexities of their studies, their bond began to unravel.

Eros, driven by ambition and the pursuit of academic excellence, buried himself in his studies, and focused on his friends while leaving no time for Lev. Meanwhile, Lev, consumed by love and longing, became increasingly needy, craving Eros's attention and affection.

Their interactions became fraught with tension, as Eros's absences fueled Lev's insecurities, while Lev's constant demands suffocated Eros. Each day brought new arguments, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings, pushing them further apart.

Eros sought solace in the company of friends, finding refuge in their laughter and camaraderie, while Lev retreated into solitude, grappling with feelings of loneliness and abandonment.

LEV waits anxiously outside a lecture hall, scanning the crowd for EROS. EROS approaches, distracted, surrounded by friends.

LEV
(trying to hide disappointment)
Hey, Eros. Did you forget we were supposed to meet?

EROS
(apologetic)
Sorry, Lev. I got caught up with some stuff.

LEV
(sighs)
It's just... we never seem to spend time together anymore.

EROS
(defensive)
I've been busy with my degree, and Family Problem Lev! You know that.

LEV
(upset)
But that doesn't mean you have to ignore me completely!

[They both fall silent, tension thick in the air.]

EROS
(awkwardly)
I need to go. My friends are waiting.

LEV
(hurt)
Fine.

[LEV watches EROS walk away, feeling more alone than ever.]

As time passed, their clashes became more frequent, their love poisoned by jealousy and toxic patterns. Lev would question Eros every move, while Eros would resent lev's suffocating grip on their relationship. Their once vibrant love wilted under the weight of suspicion and resentment, leaving them both feeling trapped in a toxic cycle.

Eros realized that his priorities had shifted, and he no longer felt the same connection to Lev. Lev, heartbroken and disillusioned, faced the harsh reality that their love might not survive.

"Whispers of Farewell"

Lev's heart skipped a beat as she answered Eros's call. His somber tone sent shivers down her spine, forewarning her of impending sorrow.

Tears welled in her eyes, mirroring the heaviness in her heart. Despite her apprehension, she agreed to meet him at the address he provided, a quiet restaurant that seemed to echo the melancholy of their conversation.

As Lev stepped into the dimly lit restaurant, a sense of dread hung in the air, enveloping her like a suffocating embrace. She spotted Eros sitting alone at a secluded table, his gaze fixed on some distant point. With trembling steps, she approached him, her heart pounding with trepidation.

"Eros, what's wrong?" Lev's voice wavered as she took her seat opposite him, her eyes searching his face for answers she feared to hear.

Eros met her gaze, his expression weighted with regret and sorrow. "Lev, I... I need to talk to you," he began, his voice heavy with emotion. "I don't know how to say this, but... I think we need to talk about us."
