Marry Me Not

TEN

"I am sorry Jordan. You are a wonderful person but we can't keep this going"

"Why?"

"This.. we just know each other for months and we are living in a different city. It needs a serious commitment to long-distance relationships. Everything about us happened so quick and too overwhelmed"

"What if I move to your city?"

"No.."

"Why? With that, we can know each other better"

"I can't say I don't want that. I wanted too but what if it did not work? You will only wasting your time"

"How can we know if we don't give it a try?"

"I can't have you risking your life and carrier. You move to another city and leave everything behind you just for me and I am only here for the next six months before I am going back to my country! It is better for us to end now"

"No, Alex. What we have here is real. I can feel that. That is why I want this to work"

"I can't Jordan.."

"Why? Is there a third person?"

"No"

"Then why Alex? Why?"

"I don't believe in relationships Jo, and I don't think I can. So, it is better if we end it here"

"You think this is best for us?"

"Yes!"

"Not giving us another chance?"

"I am sorry"

"Ok! But please next time don't go tell your partner how wonderful they are until you ready to commit. You don't say those sweet words and do sweet things until you think you are ready to have someone in your life. Don't make them feel wanted or special if you just dump them in the end. Don't give false hope!"

"But you are..."

"Stop. If I'm that what you see then we can figure it out how to make this works but no you just quit."

"Believe me Jordan, I really like you!"

"And I like you too. A lot! But goodbye Alex"

"Jordan. Jordan..."

"Jordan. Jordan... Baby wake up!"

"Huh? What? Mom?"

"Baby you are having a bad dream and crying. What was your dream about?"

"Uh, I don't remember. Maybe I just too tired mom"

From all the memories why it has to be that one?

"I bet you are. You just come back this morning and go straight to the office. Why don't you go home earlier and get some rest? I can handle it from here"

"I'm fine. Oh yeah, what are you doing here mom?"

"Well last time I checked I'm still the owner of this company. So why can't I?"

"I didn't mean it that way. What I mean is do you need anything?"

"Actually yes. I want to talk about you and Athena"

"Nothing to talk about mom. My decision is final. I don't want to marry her and so with Athena, she doesn't want it to"

"She said that?"

"Loud and clear! Look, mom. I don't mind marrying whoever you choose for me but at least we must stand in the same terms so we can build a relationship but with Athena? That woman hates me to the bones!"

"I understand but Athena actually agreed"

"What?"

"Last night I went to Armakov's place. We talked about this engagement. Seeing how you and Athena we think it's the best for us to cancel it. As parents, we always want the best for our children so after making a decision we tell Athena but she disagreed"

"She just wants to torture me isn't she?"

"No. We talked a lot. She really likes you. I can see the truth from her eyes. No doubt!"

"No mom. That woman hated me to the guts!"

"In time you will see it her true self.. just open your heart, Jordan"
