A Love Story

Love Story

        When I was in high school, I had a friend named Sarah. There also used to be a guy in our class named Daniel whom she liked. Day by day, her liking converted into love. But Daniel didn’t know about Sarah’s love. Sarah tried to tell Daniel about her love but she didn’t have enough courage.

        Many days passed and soon graduation time came. Often, I used to ask Sarah if she ever told Daniel, but her answer was always no. She never even allowed me to tell him how much she loved Daniel. One day, she had a very severe accident and she couldn’t come to school for many days. I noticed a change in Daniel’s mood. He looked very sad and downhearted. He came up to me looking very worried and asked me why Sarah wasn’t coming to school. When I told him about Sarah’s accident and how she was injured badly, he looked like he was about to cry. He asked me what hospital Sarah was in and implored me if I could take him to meet her. I told him that I was going to visit Sarah right after school. He asked me if I he could come with me and I said “sure”.

        Right after school, we took the public bus to the hospital Sarah was in. I asked the receptionist what room Sarah was in and then led Daniel to it. Her room was just on the second floor so it didn’t take very long to get there. I told Daniel to wait outside for a minute. Sarah looked much healthier than I last saw her. I took a seat next to her bed and told her she had a surprise waiting for her outside the door. When Daniel entered the room, Sarah’s face lit up. He took a seat next to her and told her how much he loved her. Sarah was very surprised to hear that but also very happy.
