No one's POV

Ervin looks out the glass window of his hotel room. A bottle of beer in his left hand and his phone on the right staring at the picture of the woman who permanently resides in his mind and heart.

He's a fool back then. A foolish spoiled brat who thinks that he can buy himself out of every deep shit he gets into. When he decided to accept that damn bet 7 years ago, he wasn't expecting on falling hard himself. It's just supposed to be a game. A bet.

Aireen was a bubbly, lively person. She can be authoritative at times, especially during class. She became popular with all the freshmen and sophomore students in college because of her unique and unconventional way of teaching. She's not that type of professor who depends on books. Her classroom, unlike any other aren't arranged in a conventional way, lined up or arranged straight. Instead, hers is filled with old and used sofas, hammocks, chairs in all shapes and sizes. No blackboards, no tables. On the far end of the room, a multimedia player with 40" inch television was set up. Her classes were always full. And was never a bore.

That's how good a teacher she is. How well loved she was back then. She's about to get the full regular contract that year. She was even awarded best professor on her first semester.

Until that one fateful night. He cursed that night when he got drunk and made a blabbering mistake of talking about him and Aireen being in a passionate relationship with his friends and how he's planning on admitting his true feelings for her and tell her about their bet. Ask forgiveness and make a fresh start.

All that was ruined because of Andrei. He can't accept the fact that I actually fell in love with her, and she to me. He was irked that I was the one to get her attention and affection. So he decided to take matters into his hands and spread false rumours about us. Even spreading an  edited video, making it look as if we're doing it on a classroom then uploading it on yt. The faces are blurred but the caption is actually quite gratifying and defamatory.

When I confronted him at the park. That's when Aireen saw us, heard what I said and misunderstood it for what I was about to say. When I looked at her, she ran away.

That's the last time I saw her. The last image of her crying and running in the rain. My feet got rooted to the spot. And when I finally got over the shock, ran after her...she was nowhere in sight. She disappeared from my life. Never to be seen again.

But fate has another plan. She came back into my life and I to hers. Now that I found her...I'll do the best I can to win her again. I'll show her how I've changed, for the better and that I'm now here to stay and fight for us. For our love. Because to be honest? I'm still so much in love with her. And I'm willing to go to any lengths just to get her back.
God help me. Please.
