Eli had to go home because his father was not feeling well and Ella missed him, when he returned he seemed sad
"Recently you have been sad" Ella asked
"I have a lot on my mind"
"A penny for your thoughts" Ella asked
"My dad is not well" he said
Ella took him to her house, he looked tired and indeed he was he fell asleep when they were watching a movie. She didn't wake him up and allowed him to sleep
"Sorry I slept off" Eli said
"It's okay"
"I should leave" he said
"It's late you can stay and leave tomorrow" she said
"Are you ok with it?"
"I suggested it so yeah I am ok"
He left after thanking her, on his way he received an emergency call
"Eli we have to take your father abroad for his medical treatment" Bertha said
"Mom do I have to come along"
"Eli!!!"
"Mom what about my school"
"I have made arrangements already"
"Mom I can't leave"
"You're really selfish, you are our only child in this difficult time you're supposed to help me" Bertha said with tears
He had no choice
"We leave in four days" Bertha said
"I just found my heart I can't lose her again what if I never get her back" Eli was sad and worried
He head to campus that night and waited for Ella at her hostel
"Eli!!!" Ella said with excitement
He ran to her and kissed her on the lips
Ella didn't know how to feel or react but it was nice. It felt right
He moved his lips on hers taken in everything, all the emotions hidden started flowing and he couldn't help himself, he loves her. He Loves her a lot
After the kiss
"Ella I have to tell you something"
"You're sick"Ella noticed, his body was hot she took him inside and nursed him
"Ella I am your Eli" he said
"Rest"
"No I don't have time I want you to know. You left me without saying anything but fate brought us together" he said
"What are you talking about" she asked but the medicine he took made him sleepy that he fell asleep
He woke up early to his moms call that he left Ella with a note
"Thank you for taking care of me and about yesterday I am sorry for not asking for your permission before kissing you but if I get the chance I would do it again and again, because I have fallen for you, please wait for me"
His father's condition had become worst and they had to travel that night
He was sad
"Please Ella wait for me" he said as he called her numerous times but she was in class,
He lost his phone at the airport before he realized they had arrived before leaving he asked his friend Hubert to take care of her
Ella called him back but he didn't answer, she looked at the message he left and was sad
"You gave me butterflies and took it from me" she said
Eli had to take responsibility for everything, his father was on life support and he couldn't be selfish he took responsibility of his business and studied too, although he missed Ella a lot
His mom was always sad because of his father and he didn't want to add more
"Thank you for not letting your fathers sweat die, you will take care of his businesses and I pray he wakes up" Bertha said
"Marcia are you really going to reject my proposal? Am I not beautiful enough?" A girl asked
"I have a girlfriend and she's more beautiful" he said politely
Eli Marcia Garcia was his full name, in his new university he was widely known as Marcia
"You draw this girl a lot who's she?" His friend asked
"Beautiful right? She's my girl and the love of my life" he said with smiles
Two years later his father woke up but was unable to do anything
"Not yet Eli" he said looking at his dad
Five years gone by and Ella had graduated and gotten a job, she wanted to be independent so refused to work in her family business, she was living alone too.
"I heard our new boss will be arriving tomorrow and he's a young man, I hope he's nice" Lydia said
"Let's just do our job and everything will be okay" Ella said
