Next Monday, I went to university with a heavy heart… Yes… I was indeed happy because I get to see Jake today… He is coming to university today… But I have to face Sally too… I have no idea how I am going to tell her that she will never have a chance with Luke… I met her in the hallway when I was going to get my books from my locker…
She was wearing a beautiful yellow color dress… She looked so beautiful and radiant… God! How am I going to break her poor heart?
“Sarah…” she ran to me as soon as she saw me.
“Hello…” I said.
“Sarah… You don’t know how happy I was on the whole weekend… I was feeling like in a dream… I spent the whole weekend going through his photos and articles…” she was speaking continuously. “Did he talk to you about me?” she then asked.
What should I tell her?
“He… No… I…” I was stuttering without knowing how to gather words…
Then I saw Luke coming towards us.
Sally didn’t even notice I stuttered like a fool because her attention was completely on Luke…
“Hello, girls…” Luke greeted us with his usual cheerful smile.
“Hello…” I managed to say.
Sally just smile brightly.
“How are you two?” he asked casually.
Feeling so helpless and miserable…
“Really good… How about you?” Sally asked, smiling.
“Me too…” he said, looking at me with a smile, assuring that everything is going to be alright.
“It’s time for the lecture. Aren’t you guys going?” he asked.
“Yeah… Let’s go…” Sally said.
“You guys may go… I have to get my books…” I replied.
Then both of them left together.
Just before I enter the lecture hall, I got a text from Luke…
“Don’t worry too much Sarah… I will take care of everything… You just pretend you know nothing…”
I released a sigh… My poor Luke…
I entered the lecture hall and sat next to Sally.
After a few minutes, the lecturer came. I was wondering where is Jake… He texted me when he left the house as well…
The lecturer commenced the lecture.
I was so nervously looking at the door…
Then he entered. He was walking with crutches… He looked handsome as always… But no need to tell my heart pierced by looking at him in crutches… I can’t stand to see him weak…
When he will be able to walk as past? When he will be able to play football as in the past?
Everyone seemed so sad as they saw him. Even the lecturer seemed so sad… Jake is a hero for every one of us at the university. He is a football superstar as well as the brightest student of our batch… Everyone loves him and adores him… So, no wonder they all feel sad about him.
He took a seat in his usual place in the front row.
Then the lecture started.
The lecturer wanted us to do some pair work for an assignment. So, he divided us into pairs. For the first time in my life, I got to pair with Jake for an assignment. Right after the lecture announced our names, he looked at me. Though he didn’t smile, his handsome eyes told me how happy he is…
I was so happy too… This means I get to spend some alone time with him without being needed to worry about what others might think… How exciting is that?

After the lecture, he asked me to come to a reading room, so we can work on that assignment.
I went to the reading room he mentioned. That reading room is not normally used. He has selected a perfect place.
I waited there for a few minutes until he comes.
He came there with one of the guys in our batch.
“Thank you Ben…” he thanked that guy for helping him.
“So…” he said with a smile after Ben left us.
I helped him take a seat…
“How are you feeling?” I asked, sadly.
“I am feeling really good because now you are with me. I missed you so badly princess…” he said, taking my hand and placing a tiny kiss.
“Hey… We are in a reading room… Someone might come.” I said, pulling my hand away from him.
“No one will come here princess… Even if someone comes we are just doing an assignment…” he said, smiling playfully.
“Sometimes you are overconfident, Jake…”
He just smiled.
“Jokes apart, Jake… Is it hurt when you walk with crutches…” I asked.
“A bit… But nothing to worry about… So, tell me did you miss me?” he asked, deeply looking into my eyes.
“Is that even a thing to ask, you idiot… Can’t you remember how many times I asked you to let me come and see you…” I said.
