[b]CHAPTER FOURTEEN[/b] [b]POND[/b] Karen sat down on the pond near their house. She's crying her heart out. Karen: (I.. I don't know why.. But.. But my heart aches for some kind of reason.. I can't explain..) She hugged her purse and continued crying. Karen: (I know.. Only Jason.. May stop me from crying.. Only him.. May comfort me this time..) Meanwhile, Jason runs while looking for Karen. Jason: (I knew it.. The pond near their house is the only place she may be.. ) He stopped running and turned around. Jason: (When her dad died, this is the only place she went into..) He stopped running until he reached a pond, and he smiled. He's right, Karen was there, still crying. He walked to her. Karen: Huh? Karen looked up. Karen: Ja-Jason.. How did you- Jason knelt down and hugged her. Karen: Jason..!- Jason: I.. I am sorry.. Karen: What..? Jason hugged her tighter. Jason: I didn't prove anything.. To you.. I can't even fight for everything I want.. Karen: What do you mean..? Jason: I.. I almost gave up the girl I've been loving to someone I thought she'd be happy with.. But I was wrong.. I made you cry.. Karen.. Karen blushed. Karen: (Was it.. Was it a confession just now..?) Jason: I'm sorry.. I.. I thought you'd be happy if you'll be with.. Daniel.. I.. I like you, Karen.. Karen blushed even more. Karen: Jason.. Jason pushed her gently. Jason: Will you go with me back home..? Karen slowly smiled. Karen: Of course..! [b]HOTEL[/b] Before the end of the day, all Karen's stuffs was sent back to the hotel. Karen and Jason are sitting on their seats and were eating dinner. Jason: Karen.. Karen: Hmm...? Jason: Do you still like Daniel..? Karen paused. She dropped her spoon and silently looked at her plate with food. Karen: Why are you.. Asking such a question..? Jason: I.. I just want to know.. If.. If there's a possibility that you'll like me.. Karen blushed. Karen: N- No.. I.. I don't like him.. Anymore.. Since he left me, to be clear. (I don't want him to think that I forgot Daniel because of him!) Jason smiled. Jason: That's great.. Karen: He he.. ? Jason: Then.. Karen: Another question..? Jason: Uh-huh. Karen: Alright. Jason: Are you just forcing yourself to come and live with me..? And being married with me in the near future? That was another shocking question for Karen. She doesn't know what to answer. Karen: Uh.. I.. Jason: Hmm..? Karen: Uh.. Is there a possible answer for such a question..? Jason: Yeah. Just yes or no. Karen: Uh.. Should I really answer..? Jason chuckled. Jason: Why? Can't you answer..? Karen: I can.. Jason became serious. Karen: Uh.. Jason: Then what's your answer? Karen: I.. Don't know.. Jason: I'm serious. Jason held Karen's hand. Jason: Are you forced? Don't you like me? Karen: (I'm pressured..!!!) To be continued. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Sorry for a short update. I'm in a hurry.
