Chereads / The Aching Hearts / Chapter 5 - chapter 5

Chapter 5 - chapter 5

Sad but necessary! 24 hours of flight; Arrived at the airport, everything was different; New face, new air! We had to integrate into a new world. "Not very difficult!" But it was totally the opposite for Isabelle, she was already crying every night, complaining to Gabriella…

-Let yourself go, my beauty, you must express yourself!

-Thank you, Gabi, you are really a friend! -Between friends, we support each other!

-What am I going to do?!

-But now you're exaggerating, Isabelle, have you looked at yourself?

-You're young and beautiful, and you're smart, you can have any man, it's not the end of the world.

-But I can't do that, Gabi!

-He's going away for four years! And if everything works very well, he may never come back again! And you gonna wait for him!

-I don't know!

-I know what you must do, find someone else, someone who is close to you, that is not bad advice, for the sooner you forget it, the better it will be for you!

-Thank you very much Gabriella, I'm lucky to have you as a friend.

-I'm here for that!

Isabelle was preparing to give up, Leo was preparing to go to university. It's only been a week and things were already moving!

At school:

-Hi Isabelle, it's okay?

-Yes it's okay! What are you doing here, Christ? -I've come to see how it is! Actually, I wanted to know how you are, if you are holding up.

-It's okay, I appreciate that you care about me. -It's the best I can do.

-Thank you Christ, now I have to go back.

-I can drive you home later?

-I don't know, I have to go home, bye!

In college, it wasn't the same thing, Leo just arrived. He walks a little to see the surroundings, lost in his thoughts, he runs into a girl:

-Sorry!

-it's okay, it doesn't matter.

-Ah! You speak French!

-Of course, I am French!

-Sorry again!

-it's okay, you're new here, aren't you?

-Yes, I have just arrived, is it so obvious?

-Of course you have been in the clouds since you arrived.

-So you were watching me?

-Not really! I forget good manners, I introduce myself, I am Helena.

-Delighted! Helena, I am Leonardo, my friends call me Leo!

-Very happy, Leo, what are you doing at Harvard?

-To tell you the truth, I'm here to study law

-Oh, me too, what a coincidence!

-We will be in the same class, then!

-humm! I know we just met, but I'm very curious, what made you go to law school?

-Where I come from, justice is not a common thing and people do not really know their right, so we trample them without them knowing it! -Very noble reason on your part, unlike me, my whole family has in some way studied law, either to be a lawyer or judge etc. My father is a very great lawyer and it has always been my dream to be like him..., you have a very valid reason to study, while I'm just a little girl who dreams of looking like her father!

-No, yours is just as valid as mine, pursuing your childhood dreams is something everyone should do!

-Very right, thank you Leo.

-I think we'll soon have a class...

-Yes, we should go home!

-Good idea!

At school:

-How are you, Isabelle?

-Very well Gabi!

-How about a girl's outing? We could go and have fun, seduce some beautiful boys!

-Already? No thanks!

-Isabelle!

-I prefer to wait!

-Okay, if that's what you want!

For Isabelle, life was back to a semblance of normal, because she did everything she could to forget Leo and it worked very well. When the classes were over, we had to go back and on leaving, Christ was still there!

-But what are you still doing there, Christ?

-I was waiting for you!

-I didn't tell you to wait for me!

-I know, you didn't tell me to leave either!

-I'm not a child, I can go home alone!

-All alone, do you really intend to go all the way alone? Other times you would have been accompanied by Leo, with that I have no problem, but now leave you alone, that no!

-Stop reminding me that he's gone!

-Sorry, I didn't want to!

-OK! Let's go!

-With pleasure.

At university

he said, "It seems easier than I thought," while he was taking a class. Already, he is noticed, ingenious on all points! A sustained language, we thought we heard an easy man, impressive the teachers and attracting the attention of the girls, he felt good.But he always thought of Isabelle, every time he came out of a class, he felt alone and it was visible!

-Hi Leo!

-Oh! Hi Helena.

-We haven't spoken since after the first day!

-Ah! Yes it's true.

-You seem to be somewhere else?

-that you can say!

-What are you so worried about?

-To tell you the truth, it's about my girlfriend? -She let you down?

- No, it's not that!

-Ah, I would be surprised if a girl could leave you!

-I left him here in this country to study.

-And you can't stop thinking about her?

-That's the problem, I'm afraid she'll forget me! -No girl could ever leave you for another! No matter how long you take to come back!

-Thank you Helena, it feels good.

-Truly, this girl is lucky; few people leave and return for their love.

-To hear you speak, one would think that you lived something!

-Not really!

Thus they spoke, learned to know each other, each day spent together brought them closer together, so they became good friends! For Isabelle, things were getting a little more interesting, it's been a year since Leo left and she has already found someone to replace him! -Gabriella, I have something to tell you!

-What?

-You're going to love it!

-Really? Go ahead!

-I have someone flirting with me!

-Ah! It's about time!

-But I don't know if I should accept?!!

-Of course you should, my dear! Would you rather wait three more years?

-You're right, I have to forget it, and it's the best way! And he is much more beautiful than Leo, a little playboy in addition...

-Voila! That's the way to think!
