in #hive-1707982 years ago

I was in my second semester of my Administration career, my friend and neighbor Cesar, invited me to a party in our urbanization, it was Saturday of that same week at 7 o'clock at night.

On Saturday night at 8 o'clock Cesar came to pick me up, of course I was not ready yet, we women always take a long time to get ready, so the young man had to wait until I got ready. When we arrived at the party, all the guys were college students. I was sitting with other young women I knew, sipping a refreshing drink, while a merengue by Billos Caracas Boy 's was playing. He stood in front of us, a skinny, tall, dark, with straight hair and mustaches, he extended his hand, he said "do you want to dance?"

I replied "yes, let's go".

We spent the whole night dancing, when we were exhausted and sweaty from so much dancing he told me "let's have a refreshing drink, let's go outside and get some air".

We went to the front of the house, and we struck up a conversation, he told me "sorry, for not introducing myself, I'm Franklin, a fourth semester student of Administration".

I told him "well, you recognize your mistake, that's gentlemanly, I'm Carmen, second semester student of Administration".

We spent part of the night talking, he told me about how hard his life had been, since his father had abandoned them, but his mother went ahead with them. We exchanged phone numbers and addresses. Moments later Cesar arrived to take me home.

Friday afternoon I received a phone call, it was Franklin inviting me to go out to the park to eat ice cream, he made a remark "I need you to take your class schedule and don't ask why? , that made me feel intrigued, however, I copied the schedule on a piece of paper, I put it in my backpack. While I was waiting at the bus stop for a car to take me to the park, I felt a tingling in my belly, I did not understand why my body was so restless. When I arrived at the park, he was there with his blue jean pants, plaid shirt and sneakers, my legs felt like jelly. I approached him, greeted him, we sat down and he told me "Carmen since we talked, I loved your personality, you are a very beautiful young woman, take my class schedule so you know my free hours, I want to share more time together" I also gave him mine. Since then, when I left class most of the time, Franklin was in the hallway waiting for me, we went to the university dining room together, to the library, he took me to meet his family and I took him to my house.

Our relationship was very close. When we had already been dating for two months, one afternoon after lunch sitting on the grass he said to me, "Carmen, do you want to be my girlfriend?

" I know we are just students, but I want you to be my wife in the future",

I was very astonished, I was speechless with shock, but at the same time I reacted "yes, of course I want to be your girlfriend".

So, besides talking about our studies, we also talked about our future wedding preparations. One morning I see my friend Claudia, she was a fat, white as snow and with eyes as blue as the sky, she studied with me in high school, she and I watched Accounting I together, I introduced her to my boyfriend, from that moment on Claudia always went out with us. I had another classmate named Emilia, she had Indian features, she had a strong character, she loved me very much, she also became very close friends with Franklin, she said that I was the sister she never had.

One day in the classroom, Emilia approached me and made the comment "Carmen, for all the love I have for you, I advise you not to take Claudia with you when you go out with Franklin, that is a moment for you two, if you don't impose yourself you will fail in this relationship, you, you have not realized it, but I see how Claudia looks at Franklin, it seems that she wants to eat him with her eyes.

After spending the whole day at the university, we were waiting for the transportation that would take us to our sector. One night as usual I waited for Franklin at the bus stop, he never arrived, Claudia arrived instead, she said to me "are you alone?"

I answered "yes, I am waiting for Franklin, is strange that he has not arrived?"

Claudia "well, I can walk you home, do you think so?

I said "yes, no problem, when I get home I will call him at his house".

We got on the bus, we arrived at my house, I left my backpack in my room, I picked up the phone and called him " hello my love, how are you, what happened to you that I didn't see you at the bus stop?"

Franklin " hello, it happens that I was feeling unwell and I came early".

Me " Why didn't you tell me?"

Franklin "I didn't want to worry you, ah, have you seen your friend Claudia?"

Me " yes she is here with me "

Franklin " can you put her on, I need to ask her something?"

Claudia and Franklin, talked on the phone for five minutes, then the young lady went home. From that moment on, Franklin didn't look for me, he didn't call me. One afternoon while Emilia and I were having lunch, she said to me " Carmen what happened with you and Franklin?"

I " I really don't know, he doesn't call anymore, he doesn't look for me, I don't know what's going on?"

Emilia " well I am going to tell you Franklin and Claudia are dating".

The fork I had in my hand while I was eating fell to the ground with shock. I got up from the table, accompanied by Emilia to the lawn, I saw the couple laughing and kissing, I felt as if a dagger was sticking in my heart, the world was falling apart, I did not understand why the relationship had failed. With my mistress torn with grief I approached him crying,

I said: "Why did you do this to me, what did I do to you to deserve it?".

Franklin, very rude, told me "don't cry like a little girl, I don't love you anymore, your love is over".

Accompanied by Emilia, I went to the classroom, crying because of the betrayal, my friend, giving me a lot of support told me "sister, unburden yourself all you want, this is a life experience that will make you mature as a woman".
