My Story
It was my birthday day when I received a message alert of break up from my girlfriend.
She said she’s no longer interested because I’m unserious about handling the relationship.
I read the message and smiled, all that she typed was false about me. I gave her evidence. All she just wanted to tell me is that she has found another, who has more money thab me.
It was a bad experience for me. For the whole day, I could not eat nor drink. Even lecture I couldn’t attend. But I was just lucky that it wasn’t during examination period.
