Chapter 21: Inner struggle

After along day of thinking and making new decisions, both of them feel tired and fall asleep. They wish that tomorrow will come with a new hope, so they surrender to sleep.

At the morning, suddenly "Martin's" phone rang. It's an unexpected call from his family. They finally found the suitable girl for him in their point of view. "She is the best choice for him" they said to themselves. Martin answers the call and he knows what they will say to him. And at this moment, the words disappear. What will he do? It's very difficult to hear this from them. They chose the girl already. They will go to her family to purpose and marry her to"Martin" and they will choose the suitable time for the engagement together and they will tell him.

He ended the call without saying anything. The only thing that he said to his parents is that he is in love with another girl and he wants them to know her, but they refused. They said to him that it is not allowed in our culture and he has to listen to their words because they think that they know what is the better for him.

The dream changes in one minute. It seems to be lost and he will never dream again!

"Why?" He said to himself. Why life is difficult and tough...

That's what we will about to know together...

***      ***       ***           ***        ***        ***

Now it is the hard moment. It's "Serena's" time. He is in his way to meet her, but how can he tell her about what happened with him at morning. He remembered that he decided to make her happy, but how can person make another person happy even though he is suffering.

Suddenly his mind changed from his inner peace to inner struggle.

How can he tell her?

How can she receive this news?

How can he bear her tears?

He knows how sensitive girl she is.

How dare he will be her pain?

Lots of questions come to his mind and he doesn't find any answers. He is knowing one thing is that he will never make her sad. But how?

She always knows what happened to him from his eyes. How can he hide from  her?

He knows that she will use her own way to make him tell her the truth. He will never lie on her. How hard is his situation?

He stooped his inner struggle when he heard her beautiful voice saying "Hi Martin".

"Serena": Hi "Martin".

"Martin": Hi "Serena". How are you?

"Serena": Fine and you?

"Martin": Fine shine.

"Serena": You don't seem to be fine. What happened?

"Martin": What do you want to drink?

"Serena": Coffee as usual, but let it now. Tell me what happened?

"Martin": (silence moment) then he took a deep breathe and said to her  my family chose my bride and they will choose a suitable day to go to her family to engage us.

"Serena": ( sadness moment) then she remembered that she decided to make him happy, so she said good. Congratulations!

"Martin": Are you ok?

"Serena": Yes, I am ok.

"Martin": Don't lie "Serena".

"Serena": Why will I lie?

"Martin": I know you well. Your eyes full of tears. Please don't cry.

"Serena": Don't worry. I am ok.

"Martin": I will never forgive myself.

"Serena": Why do you say this?

"Martin": Because I make you feel sad.

"Serena": I am not sad.

"Martin": Liar.

"Serena": Even if I am liar. You have to be happy.

"Martin": How can I be happy while you are sad!

"Serena": I will be happy when you become happy.

After along argument and while they tried to tell the other that everything is ok, suddenly "Serena's" phone rang.

You can't imagine who the caller is ?

When she saw "Peter" appears on her phone's screen, she  quickly took the phone from the table. She doesn't want him to know who the caller is because he will be angry if he knows the caller name. She decided to make him happy, but he noticed that and asked her who is the caller?

She answered that's one of my friends.

"So why do you take the phone from the table?" He said to her.

"I didn't see the name well. That's why" She replied.

"So give me the phone" He said .

"Why?" She replied.

"Give it to me" He said and took her phone and at this moment he saw that she didn't want him to see.

The caller is "Peter".

"Peter" is "Serena's" workmate. He is in love with her. He tried with her too much, but she refused because she is in love with "Martin" and he is such a friend to her. "Martin" knows him and knows what he did with "Serena", so we can imagine that he never likes him anymore. And when he saw his name on her phone, he started to fight with her.

But how can he fight with her?

Aren't they only friends?

But there are no jealousy and reproach in friendship.

So why are they fighting now?

That's we are about to know .....
