AFRESH

She had been trying to make things work. He wasn’t cooperating. She tried harder. He remained unyielding. He was unmoving like a rock.They were struggling with their careers. They were best friends and they had grown together with their dreams until the university ‘gave’ them courses they never applied for.They accepted the admission; went through school and got jobs (jobs they detested).
