Not long ago, I met this woman, her name is Aldria. Aldria is a university student studying Liberal Arts. She’s not a top student, but she always makes sure that every single detail of her school life is smooth sailing. Also, as I continue my journey, there is a guy named Elmer. Elmer is also the same as Aldria, but they are in the same program but the different universities. Elmer is a member of the top organization in his school, especially the Student Association. He is active in every single event that they have in school. Not just only that, he is the heartthrob of his program.
During the Summer Semester, Aldria’s school and Elmer’s school decide to have an exchange student program. Unfortunately, Aldria did not represent their school. On the other hand, Elmer has been chosen to be the exchange student to study at Aldria’s university. Time passed by, and still, the school continue. On the mid-day of Wednesday, both of them are having their meals with friends and acquaintances. Aldria passed by on Elmer’s table, and luckily Elmer notices her because of the different charm that Aldria has. After that incident, they just continue their own life; Time for their class, both parties left the cafeteria and headed to their studies and start their course according to the time allotment.
Time for Ethics class and what a small world! Aldria and Elmer are classmates. Not far from Aldria’s seat, Elmer moves a little bit near to her. He wants to start the conversation, but unfortunately, his shy nerves over-ruled him. (FAIL!) The class started, and they were both listening to their professor. In the middle, of course, the professor made groupings for their Theoretical study on human behaviour. Fortunately, Elmer and Aldria are in the same group. (WOW! GOD IS SO GOOD! WAHAHAHA!!). In their group, they just study human behaviour. Elmer cannot resist asking Aldria personally, so he tried his shot again. (Hope it will work). Finally! Elmer talked to Aldria. They still in class, and the professor called the day, and every single student moved. They are walking on the corridor when Elmer asks Aldria some stuff and other things.
Months passed by, and the exchange student program is almost over, these two got them both nerves and because of really close friends. On a Friday afternoon, Elmer called Aldria and asked if they can go out and watch movies. Aldria said yes, and everything is set for the Saturday night. Saturday night came, and the two are already at the Cineplex Odeon at Yorkdale. They watch “Eat, Pray, and Love” starring Julia Roberts. As they watch the movie, Elmer made a move, and Aldria just ignores it. After the movie, they give compliments about the film and look for some food to eat. As they pass along Avenue Road, they saw McDonald’s and dine there. They talked and talked finished their food.
At 2:30 in the morning, Elmer dropped Aldria in her apartment and bid goodbye. What a perfect night for the two. Sunday came, and they are both doing their projects and papers. Elmer called Aldria if he can go to her place, and Aldria just said, “Okay, you can come to my place.” 3 passed 5 in the afternoon, Elmer knocked, and Aldria opened the door. Aldria stopped what she was doing. She entertained his guy and offered something to eat or drink. After that, they studied together and finished both assignments and papers. It’s already 12am, and there’s no bus passing on Aldria’s place. “You can stay in my place if you want to,” Aldria said to Elmer. “Is that fine with you?” Elmer asked. “Of course, who are you in my life? You are no longer a stranger to me,” Aldria said to Elmer. Aldria gives some pillow and a blanket to Elmer, and after that, she went to her room.
Elmer cannot sleep, so he went to Aldria’s room and see if she’s really sleeping. He saw Aldria sleep soundly, so he went back where he sleeps. “This is a perfect night!” Elmer said. He closes his eyes and sleeps. Sunshine breaks the darkness, and both of them are awake already. Monday already, and they are not yet done with their papers for Wednesday. Elmer was rushing, going home to shower and fix himself. Aldria, on the other hand, already prepared and all set for school.
9 passed 5 in the morning, she arrived at school headed to the library and study more. Elmer, on the other hand, was in the middle of trouble in the subway and trying to catch his time for class. Almost 9:30 and Aldria headed to her first class, and still, Elmer is on his way. Finally, Elmer arrived and led to his first-class.
Time is fast approaching and….
“Oh, boy! Finals already in one day and Exchange students are done,” Elmer said to Aldria.
“I know, eh…it made me feel bad and sad at the same time,” Aldria said.
A long silence came and….
“Aldria, I have something to tell you?”
“What is it?”
“Uhhhmmmm...Uhhhmmm….”
“Tell me you made me nervous.”
“I like it. I do really like you.”
*Blushes*
“Really!”
“I am serious about this”
Both of them cannot explain what’s going on, and they let the finals came and do their thing. Exams are done, and they see each other in the cafeteria and…
“Elmer, I have to tell you this.”
“What is it?”
“Can we go somewhere else, it’s kinda noisy over here?”
“Okay”
They moved the atrium of the school and sat down on a bench and
“Elmer”
“Yes, Aldria”
“Uhmmm…Uhmmm”
“Tell me.”
“I like you too.”
*SHOCKED*
“So you feel the same way that I feel for you.”
“Yes”
The two of them were glad that their friendship turned into mutual understanding; Tears burst out, hugs and kisses are roaring like a clap of thunder. But
“If I said yes to you, can you keep that promise?”
“Yes, I will.”
“Are you a hundred percent sure?”
“Yes, I am.”
Classes are done, and Elmer will be going back on his university with a new girl in his life the same with Aldria. Time passed by, and they still see each other and continue that love they form for the past months of the exchange student program. Fall semester has already started, and they still see each other, but months are getting crazier, so they would not see each other often. Three months passed by, and Elmer was being hooked up with a girl and…
*Ringgggg….Ringggggg*
“Hello”
“Hi Hubby! This is Aldria. How are you?”
“I am good, and you.”
“Just tired of doing school stuff.”
“aw.okay then.”
“Do you want to see me?”
“If you are not busy.”
Time is rushing so fast like a speeding hyena and some not good reason Elmer got into something not so good. And…
*Ringgg….Ring*
“Hello”
“Hi Hubby, this is Elmer”
“Hey what’s up?”
“Nothing much, can we meet today? I have something to tell you.”
“Where and what time?”
“12 noon at Eaton Centre.”
“Where at Eaton?”
“Food Court”
“Okay, I’ll see you then.”
Aldria did her stuff and rushed leave her apartment, and finally, she came on time and…
“Hey Hubby”
“Hey!”
“How are you? It’s been a long time..”
“I know, eh?! Where do you want to sit?”
“Anywhere”
“Okay, let’s go to the corner table.”
They sat down on the table and Elmer bought food for both of them and….
“Aldria, I have something to tell you..”
“What is it?”
“uhhhmmm…”
“Tell me!”
“I am so sorry I broke my promise to you.”
*SHOCKED and CRYING.”
“What are you talking about?”
“I have this girl that I slept with, and she got pregnant.”
“WTH!”
“You said to me that I am the only girl! But WHY! WHY!”
“I am so sorry.”
“I hate you, ELMER!”
“You made me stupid! I try my best not to cling with other guys, and yet you have done this thing to me! HOW DARE YOU?!”
Elmer tries his best to chased and talked again to Aldria, but he missed her up. Aldria cried hard as she could and…
*SCREEEEEEEEEEEEECCCCCCHHHH!!!!!!*
Aldria was being bumped by a Ford Flex, and the driver ran away. People saw the incident, and some of them called the 911. Every reporter went there to report the incident. Elmer saw the crowd and…
“Sir what’s going on?”
“There was a girl, and she was bumped by an SUV.”
“Can I see it sir…please…
“Okay, as you wish.”
Elmer cannot believe that Aldria was the girl who bumped by an SUV. He blamed himself for that situation and cannot imagine that the girl who loved him so dearly is dead already. He cried so hard that his eyes are popping out like popcorn.
The news was already spread out, and Aldria’s closet friends are there weeping because of their lost friend. Family, Faculty, Everyone who knows her; Aldria’s friend blames Elmer for what he has done to her, and he cannot visit Aldria’s wake and funeral.
Elmer cannot accept the fact that her girl is dead, so he decided not to have girls after all the incidents that happened.
Note: Created with emotions and everlasting, unfailing love. Two hearts broke, but one left all alone.
