Hey Melwin -
A couple of questions.
Are you a born again believer? Is the girl you are talking about a born again believer?
If you are a born again believer, how long have you been one? How long ago did you Repent of your sins and accepted Christ as your Lord and Savior.
Do you fellowship at any church?
Blessings

The bible said that in everything,we should give thanks to God. Again,Romans 8 verse 28 said that everything worketh good for those who are in Christ Jesus....My dear,if you are a child of God indeed cheer up,This is temptation and God who is all knowing will turn this situation into good in which you will testify.Yes you have been humiliated,endure it and keep waiting for the Lord.But are you sure that you are not sinning while in the relationship?If yes ask for forgiveness and wait for the lord's answer.Forgive yourself and forgive her even her boss too.You will later smile.Bye.

Perhaps prayer is about allowing one's self to be changed to a likeness of Christ more than anything else.

The primary purpose of prayer is to bring us into alignment with God. The external answer to prayer is always secondary to what God is doing in us.

Melwin,
As tragic as your situation is and as much as your heart hurts, and my heart goes out to you. You cannot control the actions of another person. Each of us are freewill beings. For God to force her to come back to you would involve Him taking away her will, which He will not do. He can work on her heart and soften her, but she still has to make the choices within the context of freewill. Your problem, as deeply hurt as you are now, is the potential pain we can experience anytime we develop a relationship (friend or spouse) with another freewill being.
David has pointed out and asked if you are saved. If you are not, then God is not obligated to hear and answer your prayer, except the prayer of salvation. If you are a believer God does hear you and is going to answer. The answer is not always the one we want. The key is to allow God to work in us that we may be brought into alignment with Him. Everything else follows that first principle in prayer.
If you are saved I would encorage you to pray that God will bring healing to you first and that He will work on her heart.
Lord Bless,

brother i dont know the exact explanation of being saved , but i did seek gods forgiveness for my sin and i did confront people whom ever i did hurt or did wrong to them , but i'm trying to read bible but since i'm in too much emotional stress i couldn focus on anything and even could attend church , i feel a heaviness in my hurt , i dont know how to explain it but , i'm try to get close to god , i dont know to pray for hours to gether but i'm trying to pray every possible time like kinda talkin to god from heart but its not like a specific time during my classes while i drive or while walk but i dont know if its perfect

more over brother my parents are very spiritual but i could be like them praying for hours , but i do believe in god and try to avoid as much bad things i could do and also i try to help people when ever possible , because according to me my Christianity is help others more than preaching and i'm praying for my girl friends forgiveness because i want her to believe in god and repent to him

Sounds like you're on the right road.
Here's a prayer that's referred to as the Prayer of Saint Francis. I wonder if it has application to your situation:
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace;
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon:
where there is doubt, faith ;
where there is despair, hope
where there is darkness, light
where there is sadness, joy
O divine Master,
grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
to be understood, as to understand;
to be loved, as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.
Amen.
I'm sure there are plenty of Psalms where you will deeply identify with the authors' groanings too.
In private prayer, I personally start nearly every prayer off with Psalm 51:17, before getting on my knees.
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.

You said: “i'm praying for my girl friends forgiveness because i want her to believe in god and repent to him”
That is beautiful brother. That is right on. Praise God for your desire.
Your intentions are good and your desire is the desire that millions have had throughout history and it is God’s will for us to share the Gospel to people, so the Gospel in conjunction with the work of the Holy Spirit can work together to bring conviction to the heart of the listener in a way where they see their sin and consequently repent.
God’s will is not for you to be with this woman though while she is yet an unbeliever.
2 Corinthians 6
11 O Corinthians! We have spoken openly to you, our heart is wide open. 12 You are not restricted by us, but you are restricted by your own affections. 13 Now in return for the same (I speak as to children), you also be open.
14 Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? 15 And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? 16 And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you[b] are the temple of the living God.
The will of God for your life is in the bible. If you do his will God can then bless you. But your intentions must not be that you want this woman to come to the knowledge of the Lord because you want her to be your woman, but because you understand that she is heading to hell if she does not Repent of her sins.
Stop asking that a person who you should not be with you (an unbeliever) be brought back to you for a relationship and dear friend start asking that her soul be save Primarily.
Only the truth can set us free.
Love you with the Love of Christ.

Hey Melwin,
Thank you for your honest answers brother, for only the truth can set us free.
Here is an excellent explanation of what it is to be saved.
