Bleeding Rose

By: Kenza Iqbal (View Profile)

Today I’m sharing my own real life story. I belong to Pakistan...well I used to live there with my family then I was in college. I was engaged at that time to a guy who was15 years older then me.

When I went there, in college, there was a guy who was looking at me and I had noticed that he was looking when I was sitting there with my new classmates.  He was looking at me the whole day. Then after a week his friend came up to me was like, “oh this friend of mine wants to have a friendship with you.” I was like, “I don’t need any friends.” Then after some days he came up to me and gave me this rose and asked me for my friendship.

I was so happy because no one ever gives me flowers. I was so happy that I because friends with him. Then, after a few days he said “I love you.” I thought our friendship should be over because I told him before that I was engaged. Then he said, “So what if you are engaged. I love you. I won’t eat anything if you won’t say that you love me too.” I was like, “No, I can’t because I’m engaged.” He told me to trust him and that everything would be fine.

Well, in my heart I kind of love him too. I don’t know how but we became friends. There was this guy who had his friend come up to me said, “You know what happened? He cheated on you. He used to like this other girl in same class and his still after her.” That day my heart broke. I could not understand what to do. I pretended that I was cheating on him because I didn’t want anyone to make fun of me.

Then I realized that my parents were right. There is nothing called true love. When I came back home, I couldn’t stop my tears. I used to cry in the bathroom just because I didn’t want my parents to know that I had a boyfriend. After a few days, I told everything to my mom and then I start ignoring him. I stopped going to college daily. Then he left school ....and is in the same class.
