[Alex's perspective]
If Charlie turned me down, I would definitely feel at a loss and if he insists on leaving, I don't have the right to stop him.
It took some time, and I was about to lose hope until he answered.
"Okay..."
My eyes enlarged in surprise.
"What?"
"I said yes. Why do you look upset? "
He said jokingly.
"I'm just so happy. I think I'm dreaming."
It made me cry a little.
"Alex, promise me that you will never ever give up your dream!"
He said with force.
"Well, then I promise you that I will always try my best to achieve my goals. But, promise me in return that you should always take good care of your health. Okay?"
"Okay!"
"Then let's make a pinky promise as proof that our promises would last for a hundred years."
"You're like a child..."
Having said that, he still raised his hands.
"Pull the hook, and promise not to break it for a hundred years."
Then I kept on holding onto him.
