I Belong to You Everyday

II

CHAPTER 2

"What happened?" I asked Off. The three of us are eating right now at the cafeteria since it will be a hassle to find a restaurant during rush hour.

"I thought we are on the same page. I opened the topic about marriage but she said that we are taking things too fast. She wants to pursue first law school before she will get married. She got accepted in Harvard and I have no idea about. Thinking that she'll fail or will be rejected, she did not bother telling me about it." He is just looking at his plate, avoiding any eye contact with us. "I saw the acceptance letter and we got into a fight. Then she asked me if I am willing to go with her in the US and leave everything I have here in Thailand, I said no."

"Why break up though? You love each other, right?" Mild questioned.

"I love her but she let me choose between my career or her and as of this moment, my love for her is not a good enough reason to leave everything I have here in Thailand. I told her she can study there while I will be working my ass off for our future here but she said long distance relationships usually don't work." He is trying to hold his tears.

"If there's no trust. I understand the longing for each other but your reason for staying here is valid. You want to work hard for your future while she is pursuing her dream in the US. If she cannot understand that then maybe she is really not for you." I went hard on him. To be fair, Prae is gorgeous. But there is something off with her attitude when Off is starting to get famous. I get it that your boyfriend is an artist but sometimes her jealousy and clinginess are out of hand.

"I thought you like Prae?" Off asked me while devouring his food.

"She is likable but I guess I am not fond of her attitude sometimes. Then after hearing what happened, I don't like her anymore."

"We may fight sometimes but there are more reasons to like her than to dislike her." He defended. "Now that I'm single, I guess I'll work hard again because I need to buy a 65-inch TV for my new condo unit, that was supposed to be our new home. Visit me guys there sometime okay?" From being serious, he suddenly shifts to this happy go lucky tone.

"Thank God, because I cannot spend more weekends at Mild's because I cannot sleep early. She is always screaming and shouting while watching that TV series. It always ends at 11:45 in the evening then she will talk about it for the next one hour." I rolled my eyes while drinking this blue hawaiian juice that I bought.

"Awwww but you are always willing to listen to my rants and opinion about the episode, right?" she then kept twitching her eyes.

"I have no choice, you're the owner of the house. It's so boring to spend the whole week at my unit, so my last resort to maintain my sanity is to spend my weekends at yours even though I need to sacrifice my sleeping schedule for two consecutive days." I ranted.

"Or maybe you are starting to like Tawan already. You know, that classic love-hate scenario. He is starting to grow in your system, right?" She teased.
