Maybe I Will Maybe I Won't

Michael and Judith sat under the willow tree while the birds chirped a harmonious sound above their heads. Both seemed to be lost in their own world as each thought about how life revolved around them. Michael snapped out of his thoughts, put a hand on Judith's shoulder and asked resentfully, "Jude why does your dad hate me so much? I don't know what else to do anymore, it seems it's my head he wants in the end. Judith took a look at him and saw a sad look on his face. She couldn't help but feel annoyed. She lash out at him, "Mike we've been over this issue. If my dad can't accept you as his future son-in-law then so be it. I can't go against my father's will." "But you know you're not happy with his decision. He's your dad, try to talk him out of it. He'll understand." Michael persisted. Judith couldn't help but chuckle "They don't call him the "Iron Tower" for nothing. His yes is everyone else' yes. Stop telling me to try to convince him." She raise her voice as her temper was beginning to rise because she was frustrated. Michael notice she was getting angry because of his constant nagging and tried to calm her down. "All right all right" he held her arm "I wont bring up this issue again" he concluded. He wanted to say more but his words were caught in his mouth. He bit his lip and Sat there devastated . He had an uneasy feeling to what Judith might say next so he decided to ask, "So what are we doing now?" Judith couldn't interpret the meaning of his ambiguous question. She raised an eyebrow and asked back ,"What do you mean by what are we doing now?" Michael spoke honestly "You said things wouldn't work out between us as far as your father is concerned so I want to know your stand once and for all. Are we not going to break up yet." Judith was lost for words, she said in an angry tone "You wicked boy you just want us to break up after everything we've been through. Are you so ungrateful? But you said it yourself it won't work between us and it hurts my heart all the time seeing you here but I can't be with you so the earlier we break up we easier it is for us to get over with it and move on." he explained. "Look it's not like I want to break up with you, because I love you with all my heart and it hurts me if I have to let you go but it would hurt me more if your father thought you rebelled against him. If your father doesn't see me as a son-in-law material because of my family background he has a point because no father would want his daughter to suffer and I understand him. You should even thank god that you have a loving father." he spoke all these sincerely from his heart. Judith felt touched by what he said that she hugged him tightly and sobbed. Michael gently patted her back and told her to stop crying. She looked at his face and ask "But can we still be friends?" "No, no you and I know what your dad will do if we do that." he shook his head vigorously. Michael caressed her cheek and wiped the tears away. Judith held tightly unto him and said, "My dad said he will be taking me abroad with him next month. I don't know how long I'll spend the but I'll miss you so much." "Awww, I wish you safe journey then. You know there are a lot of artifacts abroad. Be sure to bring me some when you decide to come back he joked but his heart was full of sadness and Judith could see that he was trying so hard not to be emotional but his eyes gave it away. "Promise me one thing Mike." Judith pleaded. Michael asked "What, anything for my love. He ran his fingers through her back curly hair "Promise me that if one day you become rich you would come and marry me please" she pleaded with teary eyes. Michael narrowed his eyes slightly before answering, "Maybe I will maybe I wont." Judith frowned deeply as that was not the answer she was expecting "I'm just kidding I promise with all my heart but in everything that happens just move on in life okay." he comforted her. She finally felt at ease and embraced him one last time before turning to leave. As she turned to leave Michael pulled her back and kissed her passionately. The scene was so marvelous and captivating they wish they could live the moment forever
