Title: A sad story - The Turning Point Part 2

The night finally ended and it was time for them to get home. John turned over to Jane and looked into her eyes. “Thank for accompany me today and it makes me feel much better now” said John with a smile. Though John was saying he was fine, Jane knew that he wasn’t at all. Jane didn’t really know what actually went wrong between John and June. At this point of time, Jane doesn’t have much hope that she will be with John again. She believed that John was still in love with June but why would they broke off. Jane didn’t wish to remind John about June so she didn’t ask much. She knew that John wouldn’t break off with June because of her. In the end, neither John nor Jane asked each other about themselves. Jane told herself that if John still loved her, he would say that to her and not her saying to him. It's difficult for Jane to pretend that she don't love John when she really does.

One the other hand, Jane was quite curious what actually had happened between John and June. In the end, Jane managed to get some information about them from friends. Just few days later after John broke off with June, he went to look for her again. John was hoping maybe he and June would get together again. But sad to say, June didn’t say much to John and both acted like they would just friends. After knowing all these, Jane got rather upset. Many thoughts started to go through Jane’s mind. Jane thinks that June was more fortunate because John actually gave a chance to June but not to her. Jane knew that John looked for June that day because he wanted to get together with her again but for unknown reason, both John and June just didn’t get together. So Jane was now assured that John really loved June and not her anymore. But no matter how hard Jane tried to tell herself all these, her mind or rather she herself just couldn’t get in all these. She was lost again.

John changed school after breaking off with June. Partially because of June and also because he had no interest in studying what he was studying in that school. For that next few days, John was feeling quite low. He started to feel that love wouldn’t last long. In some point of time, he did think of being with Jane again but he was afraid. He knew he was to face a lot of problems if he were to be with Jane again. With no motivation, no idea and with some fears, he gave up the idea of being with June again. Jane was just waiting for John while John was also waiting for Jane. Both just waited for each other without both realising that. Both just didn’t want to make the first move and both thought they didn’t love each other anymore. That will be the saddest thing that can happen to a couple.

John got himself a part time job to work during his school holiday. He enjoyed himself working there because he managed to know more friends there. He started to know more girls at his working place but none of them really interest him. He realised that he still loved Jane. He shouldn’t have broken off with Jane in the first place. He regretted but he knew he couldn’t do anything now. He tried to forget about Jane but he just couldn’t. Both John and Jane would sometimes go out together when they were free. John introduced Jane to work at his work place when he knew that Jane was looking for a part time work. John really hoped Jane would work at his working place so that he would be able to see her more often and also that would give him another reason to go to work. Jane could see the excitement John showed when he was asking her to work at his working place. Though Jane didn’t agreed straightaway, she knew she wouldn’t going to disappoint John.

As expected, Jane went for the interview few days later and was asked to work the next day. Jane didn’t really know the main reason of working the same place with John. Her mind just got so confused. “Does she still love John?” That’s something Jane always asked herself but failed to get the answer. John mixed well with the people at the working place and often went out with some of the girls there. There was this particular girl who seemed to show an interest in John but John didn’t seem like her at all. Instead he would prefer another girl if he were to choose but for now, he knew he still have some likings for Jane. John and Jane often talked on phone and on one occasion, John told Jane that there was this girl who had interest in him but he didn’t like her at all. Jane said:” That’s good” to John though in her heart, she was feeling jealous. She felt some pain in her heart and she didn’t know what to do. She thought to herself, John could choose June instead of her last time and now she could choose this particular girl (Let’s give the name “Jenny”) too.

At work, Jane often looked at John. She just couldn’t keep her eyes away from John. Jane knew she loved John but didn’t know how to love him. She told John:” Till now, I couldn’t find the attraction in you on other guys.” After work, both John and Jane would eat together before going home. The relationship between them didn’t improve much. Instead, John mixed with the girls at the working place more often and especially Jenny. Jenny would just find ways to get close with John and they often went out together. Though John knew Jenny liked him and he didn’t like her, John didn’t bother to keep himself away from her. Maybe John liked the feelings of being loved by others. Whenever Jane asked about John, he would always say he was out with the girls. The disappointment Jane obtained just got heavier and as time passed by, she got used to it. She told herself:” Why must she always let herself feeling so bad?” She must change and cannot let John ruining her even further. It is time for her to let going everything.

Few weeks had passed and everything seemed to be the same as before for Jane. For John, the relationship between Jenny and him got closer. Jenny expressed her interest in John to him but John knew it but didn’t say much. Times slowly passed and John seemed to have little liking for Jenny. But John knew he still have Jane in his heart and decided to give up the thought of being with Jenny. At some point of times, John was feeling afraid that he would fall for Jenny. So one day, John and Jane got to work together. John asked Jane to go for dinner after the work ended and she agreed. Jane could sense that John was feeling quite low that day. Jane didn’t know what wrong with John and he didn’t say much about it. They had their dinner and had some talking. Then all of sudden, John asked Jane about themselves. Below will be part of their conservations:

John: Will they be together again?
Jane: Maybe but I think mostly not.
John: Why not?
Jane: I don’t. You don’t seem to love me as much as before.
John: No, I still love you.
Jane: No, you are not.
John: Yes, I am. Can I be with you again like before?
Jane: Why you ask me this question now?
John: I don’t know.
Jane: I think you are feeling well today and we will talk about this matter other day.
John: No, I don’t care. You must answer me now. Can I be with you again now?
Jane: What happen to you? What make you look so depressed today?
John: No, I am not.
Jane: I thought there was one girl who likes you?
John: yes but I don’t like her. Can you answer my question?
Jane: I will answer you again next time.

John would keep pester Jane for an answer. On the same time, Jane tired to calm John down and did think about whether to be with John again. In her heart, she was thinking whether John really means what he said. She got confused and at the same time, she was feeling a bit happy. She didn’t wish to get hurt again and also she didn’t wish to see John feeling so depressed. She didn’t know what to answer John but on that day she made a decision.

(Will Jane accept to be with John again?)
