Chapter 2 Flashback

(Flashback)

On the first day in university, she was searching for her class when she ran into him.

I am so sorry!!!!! She panicked, it felt she hit a wall.

It's alright. Don't panic... Why are you running in the hallway???? The person asked her politely.

I am bad at directions and lost my class. Class is about to start. Sara said while looking here and there.

Can I look at your schedule???? The person asked

Here.. I am a freshman. I have language class of Sir Smith. Sara told him.

Ohh!! I am your senior. Let me take you to your class. He said with a warm smile.

Thank you. Sara thanked him.

It's okay. By the way my name is Roy. The last class on left side is your class and don't get lost again. He smiled and turned to go.

Thank you once again. She thanked him and ran towards the class.

Next day they met in library when she went to get some books. Hi Miss lost!!!!! She saw at the direction of voice and saw him waving at her standing with some of his classmates.

Hi senior.... She waved back.

He came towards her. I hope you didn't lost again. He laughed.

No!!! She said and felt embarrassed.

So what are you doing in library..... He asked

I am here to get some books. She replied with excitement.

How was your first day in this university??? He asked

It was awesome. She replied with more excitement.

After that day they became friends. They both were students of journalism. They ran into each other daily as they both loved to spend time in library after their classes. They came close. They both fell for each other but didn't express their feelings until one day after two years they met, a secret of Sara revealed to him.

Hey let's go for coffee. Roy suggested while leaving library with Sara.

Yeah sure. Sara replied.

They entered in a café near to university.

You sit there, I'll go get the coffee. Roy point towards the table beside the window and went to the counter.

Here is your coffee. He came with their coffee.

They were chatting when suddenly a tall guy entered the café. When he saw them, he rushed towards them.

Sara!!!! He called her name by reaching her table.

Jason!!!! What are you doing here???? She became nervous.

Who is he???? The guy named Jason asked.

He is my senior, Roy.... Roy, he is my fiancé Jason. She introduced both with shaking voice.

Hi... Roy extends his hand for hand shake but Jason ignored and continues speaking, Sara we are leaving in 10 minutes, I'll drop you at your home. He said and walked towards the person he came with.

You are engaged??? You didn't tell me. Roy asked anxiously

He is my relative. He proposed me when I was in Senior high. I was not able to say a word in this engagement because my parents are involved in it. She explained while looking outside the window.

Do you like him? He asked with a concerned tone.

It doesn't matter.... She replied

Do you like someone??? He asked

It doesn't matter either. She replied still looking outside

If I say I like you???? You don't like him but I love you from the depth of my heart. From the day I first saw you running in the hallway.

She looked at him shockingly

What do you mean???? She asked furiously

I love you... Would you like to be with me???? He said and holds her hand and continued, you don't need to answer now. I'll wait for your answer.

She was about to say something, her mobile rang. Jason was calling. She picked the call. Jason was asking her to come out. She said good bye and left.

Whole night she was not able to sleep. She knew she liked him too. She never liked Jason in a romantic way. They both grew up together and their families were very close so she had no choice as it was her family's decision.

Next day, Roy met her when she was leaving the class after calling off a day.

Have you thought??? He asked anxiously.

Can we talk somewhere else?? Sarah asked Roy because her classmates were also leaving the class.

Ok let's go to the café we usually go. Roy suggested.

Sarah nodded.

In café, Sarah chose the table at the last corner. They both sat. Roy became more and more restless. He wanted to know the answer so badly that he was not even able to wink an eye the whole night.

Roy looked at Sarah who was somewhat seems calm and repeated his question. "Sarah, would you like to be with me?"

Sarah took a deep breath and said, Look Roy, I am sorry but I am engaged.

But you don't like him. Do you???? He asked

You are right, I don't like him and yes I like you. So???? Sarah said with trembling voice.

I'll never let you go... because I love you more than anything. He said and holds her hands.

She didn't say anything and keep staring on his hands holding hers.

Roy noticed her confusion. It's my last semester. I have a bright future. Let me talk to your parents after exams. I can't imagine my life without you. He said and squeezed her hands.

What if my parents refuse??? She asked

Don't think too much. Okay??? He said

Hmm... She nodded

When they reached to university again, Jason was waiting for Sara at the gate, he was there to pick Sarah.

While driving, Jason took a glance at her watching on the other side.

Do you like him???? He asked

She suddenly turned towards him.

Don't hide this. I know you were not ready for the engagement and your parents forced you. We grew up together. I want you to be honest. I just want you to be happy. He said and put his hand on her shoulder.

She started crying. She told him that she like Roy ever since they met. Jason convinced her that he will help her and Roy.

After exams, Roy never contacted her. When she went to his house, he told her that he was toying with her. It was pleasure for him to play with her feelings. She was heartbroken. She left the university and went to abroad to study.
