Two weeks pass by, and Shalom refused to pick his call, or reply his text. Faculty of Science. it had to be. Shalom happens to be studying Biochemistry. he doesn't always go to her department. but today he was here, at her department garden. They came here together before after she was done reading. Before accompanying her to her hostel.

He waited for some hours hoping to see her, but he didn't see her, Maybe He did come the next day. Again, he was here, sat down in the garden brought out his phone to pass time caused he did notice. the more he thought of it. The more he thinks, and felt an ache. just about an hour later. He saw her

Shalom held a guy hand as they walked out. They were discussing something, after which he bid her good bye and he left.

Shalom turned to go back to class, when she froze.

A young guy, dressed in grey shirt and black trousers, not moving in the slightest. He was staring at her, stunned. his face devoid of color.

Her eyes showed a pained expression a bit, as she quickly recovered, she walks toward him. she took a deep breath "Adam, I know now, in your heart, you must be very angry. it's not convenient for us to talk about this on the street, why not we go sit somewhere and have a good talk there. Okay?"

Adam nodded. He did not speak

….

They both sat down in the garden not far away silently looking at each other.

After a long silence, Shalom let out a tiny sigh.

" Adam, I have wronged you in this relationship. This entire time, I have refused to meet with you because I wanted you to be mentally prepared. At the very least, I didn't want us to part ways as enemies"

Adam laughed bitterly in his heart, as he quietly listened. looking at Shalom.

She didn't say much, in summary, it can be said they had broken up officially

It was quiet a silence. Before Adam asked suppressing is agitation. Do you remember what we once said to each other? You would let me know if you ever feel like you've lost your feelings for me, I too would hope that you would tell me directly and not lie to me. I, too, would quietly leave."

But it's not a big deal, you now with somebody, but why not openly explain things to me, while letting me continue to harbor hope in my heart, and you made me keep calling you time and time again. do you know how it feels to wait for someone like that?

On his feet, Adam looks at Shalom, after a while a faint smile appeared on his face. "Shalom looking at today, this should be about 7 months we got to be together, Thank you. At least you have given me some beautiful memories ".and he left.
