After the Prom the next program is the Graduation Day. Days pass by the practice of graduation begin. And after weeks of that practices the Graduation Day began.

At the End of the ceremony, Drake and Maris took a picture together since Drake will transfer school next year for their senior high school while Maris will stay at that school where she graduated.

The couple spend their time as much as possible as vacation starts. Their routine was eating in the mall, watching movies, play games and many more.

Vacation passed by until new school year started, 2 months ago. Maris said yes to Drake after 6 months waiting. They are now officially in a relationship. They spend time eating in the mall, watching movies and many more.

Maris: I want to say something.

Drake: What’s that?

Maris: Yes.

Drake: What? What’s yes? Did you answer me now? (happy)

Maris: Yes. (laugh a moment)

Drake: Thank you. Thank you! (kiss on forehead) I love you 

Maris: I love you too.

They only see each other once a month because of they are in a long distance relationship.

Until they become cold and broke.

6 months ago…

Drake Texted Maris

Drake: Aren’t you getting tired in our relationship?

Maris: I am not. I am not getting to be tired because I love you. Why are you asking about it? Why? Are you tired?

Drake: Yes, I am. I’m sorry, I don’t want to hurt you but it seems like it’s hard that we are far from each other. I can’t take that I didn’t see you every day. I’m sorry.

Maris: (crying) can we fix this?

Drake: I think it’s hard for us to fix this.  I’m sorry. I am thankful to have you but this must be stop. I am so lucky that I met a girl like you, Thank you for everything. You deserve someone better than me, I’m sorry. I will wait for you to forgive me, thank you.

After what Maris gave, she loved Drake so much. So much effort and care she gave to the man he loved and she didn’t expect that that things would happen. For just they don’t want to hurt the feelings of both, one of them needs to come up. Now she only believed that “When you truly love that person no matter what he had, no matter how many mistakes he did you must always forgive him”.
