As time passed, both turned 18. Jimmy went to study political science, while Thelma followed her dream of becoming a nurse.
Even while studying, Jimmy never lost his passion for making a difference. He formed organisations that spoke against gender-based violence and raised awareness about mental health in youths. His heart was as strong as his love for Thelma.
At her college, Thelma's beauty and kindness caught many eyes. One boy tried to win her heart, but she smiled and said,
"I already have my first love, and my heart is full."
The boy grew jealous and violent, trying to harm her. But destiny once again painted their story — because Jimmy, though far away, felt something was wrong. He rushed across town and arrived just in time, stopping the attack and handing the boy over to the police.
Thelma wept with relief as she held Jimmy's hand.
"You came," she whispered.
"I always will," he replied.
Their bond was now unbreakable.
