A Daughter

"It must be expensive! I can not take it right now." Nora stared at the necklace grimly. Victor frowned. 

"Nora! We are.."

"After two months. If we continued our relationship by then. I will take it." his eyes dimmed at once. He had spouted nonsense just to get acceptance from her. He had believed that these two months did not matter. She would be moved by tonight and accept him fully. "By then, I would have the status to accept you." she added when she noticed his conflicted look.

 Victor shook his head. 

"I will wait for you, Nora. I will wait as long as you want me to." he placed the necklace back in the box. "As long as you give me a chance!"

Nora stared at him without a reply. Because she knew she would not be able to return the feelings he wanted from her. A strange urge to run away from here and hide in a dark corner was engulfing every cell of her body.
