Story - I will wait forever - chapter 21

I WILL WAIT FOREVER - CHAPTER 21 - A new life


sometimes we can't let go of hurt...
because it's a constant reminder of one great
love story
we never expected to come to an end...

Paris, France.

"Bienvenue vers Paris, Mademoiselle Macy Perea" (Welcome to Paris, Ms. Macy Perea) she thought as she walked to the exit the airport.

Paris.

It was supposed to be the most romantic city in the world, but here she is, alone and trying to mend her broken heart.

After getting her bags, she went to the waiting area of the airport. From there, she was greeted by a woman. "Êtes-vous mme. Macy Perea ?" (Are you Ms. Macy Perea?) she said, smiling at her. "Oui." (Yes.)
"D'ailleurs, je suis Greta Sommereaux, d'University de Paris." (By the way, I'm Greta Sommereaux, from University of Paris.) The woman said. She helped Macy with her things, and they went inside a van. "Ainsi, comment votre vol, mme. était-il Perea ?" (So, how was your flight, Ms. Perea?) Greta asked.
"Il Est OK. Juste fatiguant..." (It's OK. Just a little tiring...)

After a few minutes, they have arrived to the apartment where she is going to stay. "Vous partagerez cet appartement avec trois étudiants philippins." (You'll be sharing this apartment with three Filipino students.) Greta said as they unload her things from the van. As they entered the apartment, they were greeted by a girl and a gay.

"Mademoiselle Macy, they will be your flat mates. This is Monsieur Andrew Chen, and Mademoiselle Cynthia Santos." Greta said. Macy simply smiled at them as she shook their hands. "By the way," Greta said. "Where is Monsieur Ferrer?"

Just then, a guy came down from the stairs. Macy looked up at him, and she suddenly remembered him. "That's the guy who gave me the handkerchief!" she thought. The guy smiled at her as he extended his hands to her. "Hi! I'm Daniel!" he said. "I'll be your flat mate..."

===================================================================

Greta gave her a short orientation of what she would expect at the University, and she told her about the house rules. After showing her room, she left. She'll be sharing a room with Cynthia. "You must be really tired after that flight." Cynthia said as she helped Macy unpack her things. "Yes..." she said.
"So what are you taking up?"
"Electronics and Communications Engineering..."

Cynthia smiled at her. "You must be really smart!" she said. "Not really..." she replied, as she smiled back at Cynthia. "I'm taking up Theater Arts. Drew is taking up Fashion Design, and Danie's taking up International Studies..." she said.
"I think... I saw Daniel before..."
"You should. He used to go at your school."

After they finished unpacking her things, Cynthia excused herself because she have to go to her part-time job. "Take a nap first. I know you're tired. I'll be back before 6 PM." she said as she left the room. As soon as she's alone, Macy decided to rest and take a nap.

===================================================================

She find herself inside Ryan's pad. "What am I doing here?" she thought. She walked towards his room, and from the door, she could hear a faint noise. She slowly opened the door, and she saw Meg and Ryan kissing. As she watched them kiss, tears began fall down from her eyes. She slowly closed the door and ran as fast as she could.

She didn't have an idea where she's going to. What she knows is that she want to get away from the place, and heal her heart. She was running through a dark lobby, until she bumped into a guy. She immediately got herself back, and stood up. "I'm sorry..." she said. The guy handed her the handkerchief. As she took the handkerchief, she saw the guy's initial in it. "I remember this..." she thought. She looked up and she saw Daniel smiling at her. "Trust me..." he said.

===================================================================

Daniel watched Macy as she sleeps. He noticed that tears didn't stop flowing from her eyes. "I wonder what she's dreaming about..." he thought. Ever since the day he saw her, she has been either crying or running away. "Are you running away from something, that's why you're here in Paris?" he thought. He gently wiped the tears in her eyes. He thought that whoever have caused her to cry just didn't appreciate her at all. He doesn't deserve Macy at all.

Macy slowly opened her eyes, and she saw Daniel by her side. She immediately sat up from her bed. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to wake you up..." Daniel said. He was a little worried because Macy might think that his intentions are not good. "No, it's OK..." she replied. "I was just wondering what would you like to have for dinner?"

Macy shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know..." she said. Daniel smiled at her and held her hand. "Come on..." he said. "Let's check what we could cook for dinner."

===================================================================

"Bonsoir, Macy! Bonsoir, Danie!" Drew said the moment he saw the two coming down from the stairs. "Bonsoir, Mademoiselle Drew..." Daniel said. The two sat down, as they watched Drew take out the food from the refrigerator. "I'm going to cook my ever famous recipe. Want to help?" Drew asked them. Daniel and Macy said yes , and they began to help Drew.
