Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow

**Lisa’s POV**

Few weeks from now is graduation day. Gone the heartache, gone the person that hurt me and gone the pressure of studies. It was all over.

I was lucky enough that my father did not condemn me for having this relationship. He was always there to support me and give some advice and comfort to lessen the burden of hurt. I know if he saw Leon that moment, my father would definitely punch him to death for hurting me. What had happened to the promises? What happened to all my first? I lost all my first and now I believe that there is no forever. What was left now was only hurt. My first heartache to say the least. Now it is good enough that he did not show his face anymore. I know he was ashamed of what had happened to us. I haven’t heard from him since Leon came to our house. Not even his team mates had any news about him. Maybe he has transferred to another school or worse, he married that bitch. I don’t care anymore what would happen to them. I would lie if I say ‘I wish them good’, because they don’t deserve one. I have cried a lot and I could not cry for more. Lesson learned, that’s what I always told to myself and it’s time to correct the time lost from me. No matter how hurt I am, I need to move on. Life can’t be that good if I always sulk myself to oblivion. I need to be strong and be ready for whatever happens in the near future after graduation.

Though my grades went down drastically during the time of my heartache. I lost my scholarship until the end of my course, but after that semester I have gathered all my wits into pieces. I just maintain my good grades, though I cannot get the average grades for the honor of Distinction, I still have good grades that’s all that matters to me. Considering that I am the only female student who is going to graduate this year. My two lady friends get pending grades from one of our professors in design. Carmen, who was a state scholar, pleaded for her grades and later got the honor of distinction. I am happy for her at least her scholarship was not removed from her. Happy that my studies are really over and just waiting for the actual graduation to happen. We need to sign some papers at the registrar to confirm our graduation. And for some reasons, pay for some fees that are needed.

Most of my friends congratulated me for passing the hurdle of college life. It was not merely studies, but also relationships. Relationship to your classmates, relationships to your professors, relationships to your parents who were nagging you for having low grades and relationship to loved ones. Some of it would fail, but that must not let you crush to the ground. Raise up and don’t let yourself fall down again.

My father was happy upon hearing that I would be graduating. My mind now is to get a good job and pass the board exam. I’m searching for a good review center to have my review for the board. After school papers have been processed, the schedule for our graduation has been set and I look forward to a new beginning of my career. How nice it is to earn your own money from your hard work.

The graduation day arrived and my parents were there to celebrate my graduation day. My friends from school also attended my graduation to give me support for whatever I have gone through in my life. I would always be grateful to them who were always there to see me if I am alright. And a ready shoulder that I could always cry on other than my parents.All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

I am happy to graduate and finish my course though my grades suffer from my misfortune in love. But still, there was something lacking in my life, that could be the void from my happiness. I just need to get over this feeling of emptiness if I want to succeed.

After the graduation and the release of my papers from school, from diploma to TOR and other pertinent papers for board exams and for applying for work.
