A LOVE STORY

I have never seen such a united and faithful couple as Matthew and Rachel. They now live happily in Dedham, Essex. However, they had to overcome difficult obstacles in order to be peacefully together. I will proceed to explain a true love story of that relationship.

Matthew and Rachel met each other at LSE University when they were both studying economics. They both had no difficulties in taking the degree, so they could manage to spend a lot of time together.

Those were years of absolute happiness. There was not a day when they did not see each other. They went to the cinema several times, had lunch and dinner, and travelled all across the United Kingdom during their free time. In fact, they got on one another perfectly and knew everything about their relationship. There had never been lies between them, and love was growing continuously.

Nevertheless, something changed their coming future. Rachel received a grant to continue studying at Harvard University, and Matthew did not. Even though they tried to make whatever so that they could see each other more often, it was not possible.

During her stay in the United States, Rachel met a guy named Tom. At first, she considered him only a friend, but he started approaching her over and over again until something began between them. It was like if Rachel had already forgotten Matthew and was living a new relationship.

Suddenly, Matthew flew to Massachusetts in order to make a surprise and to be with Rachel for a weekend. When she saw him, she felt absolutely astonished. She tried to hide she had a new boyfriend, but in the end everything was found out. He felt highly humiliated and decided to return to England. On the other hand, she felt extremely guilty. Then, a dilemma was in the air. She had two options, and not a lot of time.

She did not think about it for too much, and after listening to her heart, she immediately went to London to see her true love of her life, Matthew. He forgave her as she left her studies at Harvard. She realised that it was not worth to study in one of the best universities in the world if that prevented her from being with whom she loved the most. To sum up, being with him is what made her happier.

Nowadays, Matthew and Rachel live together and are happily married and have two children. Their relationship is an example of what true love is. It is a love which can fight against any kind of obstacle and capable of overcoming it.
