On a quiet morning, Paul and Jean sit peacefully on their favorite boulevard. This boulevard is surrounded by lovely flowers as lovely as Jean and sturdy, tall trees as strong and vibrant as Paul. They are madly in love and make down-to-earth promises that are entangled in the purity of the ambiance, which seems like they are the only inhabitants. The birds chirp every moment the two meet to embrace the challenges of being young, yet ready to embark on life’s formidable symphony of what’s behind and beyond as they navigate the journey of their love.
Paul: “Jean, my love, in this boulevard, I promised you that no one can destroy our love”. “The flowers may wither, the trees may fall, but my love for you stands tall and strong, and forever I will be yours and you are forever mine”.
Jean: Paul, my love, my feelings for you cannot be measured, and only you can let my heart obey and beat no other but the young and lovely love that will grow old with you.
One day, Paul visited Jean and told her his parents wanted him to enroll in another city, so they had to see each other every month. They hugged each other tightly as if it were the last. Jean pursued her studies in their place and always nurtured the love she and Paul cherished until eternity.
In the fourth year of their love anniversary, it was also the year they will graduate at the university. Jean was feeling so inspired and wanted the graduation to be finished so she could be with her love. Her mind concentrated on the future she and Paul built, witnessed by the boulevard. All of a sudden a knock on their door, disrupted her deep thought, and she was brought back to her senses. She opened the door, exceedingly happy, yet her hands were trembling, and no words were uttered to where the letter came from. Paul doesn’t send a letter, they communicate through direct call and long texts, but she is amazed to see the sender, it’s from her beloved.
Jane opened the letter excitedly, her thoughts were perfectly dominated by the labyrinth of her love and the journey towards a big dream with Paul fascinated with an unknown feeling. She has to be brave to uncover what’s in the letter. She wiped her trembling hands and there she saw the most agonizing words which said: “Jane, forgive me, someone who secretly liked me, drugged me and I was at a loss of depending from a morbid temptation. The girl got pregnant and I was sued by her parents, so I was forced to marry the girl.” You may curse me to ease your anger and relieve your aching heart. I am deeply sorry. I love you, but destiny is so cruel, and does not make everything happen as planned. “
Jane didn’t finish reading, as if she had been struck by lightning. She was at a loss, and seemed like thrown at a raging fire, seeing everything dim and without a second thought grabbed a sharp knife in their kitchen and ran to the boulevard, so fast that anyone who saw her was in complete shock. There she shouted facing the void, mocking the flowers and the tall trees surrounding the boulevard. You are all liars, I hate you all, and raises her arm to strike the knife to her heart, closing her eyes and emptying her mind to complete her solution of her ordeal…then she strikes the knife, but a strong hand grips her right hand. She was angry to the man.” Don’t stop me, you don’t know what I feel this time. I want to forget everything, so no more excruciating pain to feel. Jane collapsed but the man caught her in his arms.
When Jane regained her consciousness, she saw the skies enveloped with loneliness as if witnessing her crucial moment. It was not easy for her to accept that in a flash of seconds, her dream vanished. He hated the name Paul and mocked her for giving all her love and trust. The man who saved her was still there in silence, but his smile penetrated to her heart. She saw the kindness of his soul. She thanked him for saving her life when she was in complete trouble.
The man introduced himself. “I am James. We are neighbors, and I am always watching you. When I see you run fast, I sense complete danger, so I follow you and run as fast as you do. Thankfully, I was at the right time. “Don’t harm yourself.” Bury the past and let your heart seek justice by falling in love again. I have been in love with you for many years now, and I want no other to own my heart but you.”
Jane said, “Give me some time to recover. I am still in pain and a total loss of a true love dedicated to someone not worthy. “
James: Let me help you heal your broken heart and together forever bury your past in this boulevard of broken dreams.
Jane closed her eyes, not yet ready to fall in love again, but allowed James to visit her and meet her parents.
