JayᏊ˘ ꈊ ˘ Ꮚ, remember this date okay, don't forget about it okay?! You will not like the consequence of forgetting this special day
ah Yesss,Dana I won't , how could I forget such a very special day.
Feb 13,2005,Friday night around 8-9 to be specific, I know Dana for couple of years ago , We studied at the same College ,Im really surprised why she choose that school because she's rich ,she could have studied at a university far more better than the school we study.
I asked Dana to a date and she agree, she was silly joyful no poem can explain that is the reason why I court her and now she answered me after a long years of courting. Actually she's so pretty many guys try to approach her but luckily I'm the guy who wins her heart and I'm thankful.
Dana, What is the reason you say yes to me?
oh dumb me ,to ask such a question ,I really tough it would stir up the conversation but I was surprised she smiled
Jay, We've been together since we were in our Senior years, I ve known you for sure ,your personality ,your attitude or is there some more things I don't know about you?Jay
Ah oh nothing, I smiled back
Wooahh we really been together for how many years but this one is different , totally different ,I don't know how to act even when we know each other , it's so different...
emmm ,that was a delicious meal ,Jay thank you , Although we had meals already ,I won't forget this one ,we date now because we're lovers now and this one is the first.
kinda awkward but we just giggle, nothing has changed about her the same from the fist time I met her ,she's so warm ,very welcoming
Um Jay , what's your plan now, we finished college already are you going to look for a job already?
Yes Dana ,I have to
since my family is not financially stable I should strive to look for job, I also have a date now to worry about so I do really need and it would totally be a shame because Dana's family is so rich.
It's getting late already and I took Dana to their house.
Bye Jay ,bye Dana
Dana's POV
Dana!! where'd you come from huh ,Its late already or did you again waste your time on that guy ,that peasant guy , he's just after your wealth Dana
Father , we've been friends for a couple of years I already know what kind of person he is, he is not like that.
Whatever , I just don't want to see you with that guy again Dana, are we clear Dana?!
I give him a angry stare and head straight to my room , I did not tell my father me and Jay were already in a relationship ,I already know the result.
Father mmm he's really uhhhh waahh!!!
bzzzzt ,bzzzzzt , bzzzzzt
Dana , I did not reach home yet but she messaged me already huh really this kind of feeling is so good. I have to tell her I already reach home but I head straight to my night shift I kept it a secret ,since when we were not still in relationship I'm a little too shy to tell her. I'm working at a gasoline station and luckily his father never go at the gasoline station where I was working or else I'll be criticize her father was really strict when it comes to her soon to be partner
Siggh I arrive at my work place it's good to work at night time not only because of low costumer to accommodate but also higher wage but I have to fight my sleepiness, my wage here is exactly enough to cover my needs ,my family needs but I really need more I want to show Dana that I'm really trying my best to achieve a good life.

hmmm ,maybe also its time for my father to meet him
Excited to introduce Jay to his father, Dana arranged a casual dinner at her favorite restaurant. She was nervous, hoping that her two favorite men would get along. Jay, on the other hand, felt a strange unease. He couldn't understand why he felt a sense of dread about meeting Danas Father.
At the restaurant.
Dana was radiant ,,
and Jay, a young man full of dreams and ambitions, was on his way to meet his girlfriends father. As he walked towards her table he felt his heart pounding like a drum
and there near beside her a tall, stern-looking man. Jays heart skipped a beat. It was Dana's father. He extended his hand, and they shook hands. The grip was firm, almost too firm, but Jay held on, trying to make a good impression.
That night, they all sat down for dinner. The tension in the room was palpable. Dana's father was a man of few words, and Jake found himself struggling to make conversation.
The table was set meticulously, each piece of cutlery in its rightful place. Dana's the vibrant and loving girlfriend, sat across from Jay, her boyfriend, who was nervously adjusting his tie. At the head of the table sat Mia's father, a stern man with piercing eyes that seemed to see right through you.
As the dinner commenced, Dana's father began his silent assessment. His eyes scrutinized Jay's every move - the way he held his fork, the manner in which he chewed his food, even how he wiped his mouth with the napkin. Jay could feel the weight of his gaze, making him more self-conscious than he already was.
"So, Jay" Dana's father finally broke the silence, his deep voice echoing in the sides and geeting the attention of others "What do you do for a living?"
Jay cleared his throat, "I work at a gasoline station " sir"
"Interesting," Dana's father responded, his expression unreadable. "And how do you plan to provide for my daughter?"
Jay was taken aback by the directness of the question but managed to reply, "I believe in hard work, sir. I'm dedicated to my job and I'm confident that I can give Dana the life she deserves."
The rest of the dinner was filled with more questions - about Jay's family, his future plans, his values. It felt more like an interrogation than a friendly dinner. But Jay answered each question honestly, hoping to prove to Dana's father that he was worthy of his daughter.
Again Dana's father ask Jay about his work
"So, Jay," Dana's father began, his voice laced with skepticism, "tell me more about your work."
Jay shifted uncomfortably in his seat, knowing this was the moment he had been dreading. "Well, sir," he replied, "I work as a gasoline boy.
Mia's father's eyebrows furrowed, a clear sign of disapproval. "A what? Is that a stable career, Jay? Can you provide for my daughter?"
Jay tried to defend his passion, his voice filled with determination. "I understand your concerns, sir. But im doing my best. I believe in following my dreams and creating something meaningful. I may not have a traditional job, but I am dedicated and committed to my craft."
Dana's father scoffed, his eyes narrowing. "Dedication and commitment won't put food on the table or pay the bills, Jay. What kind of future can you offer my daughter?"
Jay's heart sank, but he refused to back down. "I may not have a conventional career, but I have the drive and creativity to make things work. I believe in the power of my dreams. And with Dana by my side, I know we can overcome any obstacles."
Dana, who had been silent throughout the conversation, interjected, her voice filled with love and support. "Dad, Jay is incredibly talented. He has a unique perspective on the world, and his art has touched many people's hearts. I believe in him and his dreams."
Dana's father sighed, his hardened expression softening slightly. He looked at his daughter, seeing the conviction in her eyes. "I want the best for you, Mia," he said, his voice filled with concern. "But I hope you understand that life can be challenging for people with job like that"
Jay nodded, his voice filled with gratitude. "I understand, sir. And I appreciate your concern. But I promise you, I will work tirelessly to prove myself and create a future that we can all be proud of."
Dana's father suddenly laugh
" hahahah enough!! with those inspiring words of yours , there is nothing you can do to provide what my daughter needs"
