Endless Love

Chapter 1

/Flashback to 7 years ago/

*Ammara's P.O.V*

Last two weeks, I just got an email from the university that I wanted to get into since I was a kid in France. I got accepted to it and I obviously told my parents about it. They were happy and so am I.

My boyfriend, Rory, haven't had the time to text with me. I'm not sure what's going on with him these days. He just gave me lack of attention and affection. I was totally bummed about it. I texted him no matter what. To let him know about me entering the university on the same exact day I got the email.

To : Rory 💜

So, I got accepted to the university that I wanted. I thought it would be nice to tell you eventhough you're not replying. Just in case you want to see me before I'm actually going there, just meet me at the airport on 15th March at 11 A.M, okay? :) xo

Until today, he haven't replied to me. I was waiting for him at the airport. My parents were already started crying as I hugged them tightly. It made me cry too. And I also cried because Rory was not there.

"That's okay, honey. Just text him up. He's probably busy doing some work. For now just focus on your studies okay? Make your parents proud!" My mom wiped my tears as it started to fall on the cheek.

"Mom, he's not here to see me, what did I do wrong?" I cried even more.

"I know, Mara. You're my strong girl. You can get through it even without his texts. Just try to calm yourself down in the plane there okay? I'm sorry I can't be there for you, honey. You know if I have time I would come to France with you and send you off there," she smiled widely while her tears are falling on her both cheeks.

"Don't look back when you entered there," she pointed at the entrance of leaving Brulen.

I nodded. "Goobye, everyone. I love you all so much," I waved at them and looked back. I smiled when they waved at me.

/7 Years later/

"I'm so glad we had finished our PhD together!" I smiled widely to the camera.

The camera man said, "Say congratulation doctors and professors!"

Marteen who is my best friend and roommate hugged me beside my left shoulder and he gladly said, "congratulation Mara,"

Everyone looked at the camera and smiled while I looked at Marteen and said, "you too doctor, you too." And I looked at the camera smiling so happily that I instantly forgot about all the past that still haunts me.

Marteen is my best friend, he lived with me in an apartment near the university and our bedrooms are across each other in between of our kitchen cause I thought it was fair for us. He has never dated anyone in his life and it was pretty depressing to see your best friend so sad when our other friends talked about their love life.

The graduation was great and I felt like I'm almost catching myself to the dreams and it was beyond amazing. My parents couldn't make it through my graduation due to their preparations for my close brother's wedding, Holland with his soon to-be-wife or also can be called as fiancée, Sheila. Actually their wedding is in another 10 weeks but my parents said they have to prepare a lot of things.

So instead of being sad and all, I invited my boss from my part-time job as his Personal Assistant cause he was the one who paid my scholarship till my last semester. It was kind of him really.

My boss, Timothy Smith is an open-minded person who believes that education is the most important thing ever in life. He would remind me everyday when I enter his office, "Education comes first, so do not feel bad to those who hated you, your lover who abandoned you and you're helpless if you don't have any education,"

"Hey there, congratulations to you – wait for it, Professor Mara!" Tim shouted as he mentioned my name.

"Stop shouting, you're actually embarrassing me in front of my friends. Anyway, thank you, Timothy. And thanks also for coming here. It means a lot to me," I spoke as I hugged him tightly. It shows how thankful I am to him.

"Aww, you're always welcome, my favorite personal assistant ever. Though, I'm sad to see you leaving in a few weeks. Don't you want to continue to work with me? Maybe at least stay for another year?" He tilted his head to the left and put both of his hands on the pants' pockets.

"Uhh..I don't really know what to say cause I want to go back home and work at the land where I was born, plus it's hard to contact with my family and I miss home. I'm homesick," I frowned.

"Aw shucks," he smiled.

"Hey, camera man!" I shouted when the camera man was going somewhere.

"Can you please take a picture of me? And with these two dudes?"

"Yeah, that's my job as a camera man, my lady," He winked at me.

I smiled and blushed because a guy just winked at me, again!

"Don't flirt with her, or I'll end you," Timothy smiled while putting his hand on my shoulder. Marteen also put his hand on my shoulder which reminded me of Rory and Hector. It brought back to the memories during a celebration back in my house when they put both of their hands on my shoulder at the same time while taking pictures. And I still have the pictures in my apartment.

Rory, he was the best lover I've ever had, until we kind of lost contact due to my further studies in France. He suddenly stopped texting me and at first I thought it was odd so I just kept texting him. I wonder what he's into now. Rory is my best friend since high school but no matter what, I'll find him. I struggled a lot without him by my side but Marteen convinced me that Rory maybe focus on his studies.

"Let's celebrate tonight at my house," Marteen said while he glanced at me, giving me a sad puppy eyes.

"I'm still thinking, but that does not mean I'm agreeing to it," I laughed. The reason why I'm still thinking about it because I want to skype with my family back in my country.

After the ceremony had finished, we went back to the apartment. "You know what, let's just invite some friends over and we'll be spending our time together with some food, yeah?" I asked as I put my graduation robe and hat on top of the table.

"Yeah, actually I was thinking the same thing. Obviously, it's not a party. We can just go watch movies and tell our stories. It'll be fun, trust me," he smiled.

The night was well spent. I laughed a lot until I cried.
