Nadine and Nathan

#39

"Girl!" Nadine's voice is slightly soft enough to break the silence in the UKS room.

Christian immediately wiped away the remaining tears that were still welling up in the corner of his eye. The young man looked in the direction.

"I'm just confused, Nad," said Christian.

"But, didn't you tell Nathan and me that your parents agreed to go to university on a scholarship? Why did your papa suddenly get angry and beat you up like this?" Nadine asked, not understanding.

"I'm lying" replied Christian, who immediately made Nadine scrunch her forehead.

"Papa was abroad. So I just asked my mom for permission and didn't tell my dad. Mom gave permission. I think after the results come out, papa will also definitely give permission and support my desire to become a professional basketball player. But actually..." Chris smiled wryly.

"Papa was furious last night. I tried to defend myself and explain all my reasons. But papa stays on his feet. Papa didn't give me permission and immediately ripped a letter from the University in front of me" Christian told me at length.

"I keep fighting. And what happened. Papa beat me because I was really stubborn," Christian added again this time a little soft.

"Papa also contacted the University and said that I had resigned from the scholarship program,"

"I'll never be a professional basketball player, Nad! How much I try" concluded Christian lethargic.

"Don't say that, Chris!" Nadine approached Christian and hugged the young man.

"If the opportunity does not come now, maybe the opportunity will come at a later time" added Nadine who tried to think optimistically.

"You think so?" Christian asked doubtfully. The young man let go of Nadine's embrace and cupped Nadine's face with both hands.

Nadine nodded.

"After all, shouldn't you be grateful for being able to study in a good place abroad, anyway," Nadine took Chris' hand off her face gently. The girl clasped Christian's hand.

"If my papa was as rich as your papa, maybe I would also ask for a lecture abroad, ", Nadine added, chuckling.

It seems that the girl is a little delusional.

"You want to study abroad?" Christian asked with a serious look.

"Yes. But it's impossible. Maybe I'll get into the University alone through a basketball scholarship like papa hopes. I really don't want to burden papa with my desires that are as high as the sky" said Nadine at length.

"You want to go to college in Amrik with me?" Christian asked suddenly which immediately made Nadine surprised to not understand.

"What?"

"Are you joking with me?" Sergey Nadine again with a laugh.

"No! I'm serious, Nad!" Said Christian with a serious tone.

"You know why I was so depressed when Dad said he was going to send me to college abroad?"

"Why?" Nadine still didn't understand.

"Because I can't be far from you."

"The only reason that pushed me to stay in the university entrance selection even though papa forbid is you," Chris rubbed Nadine's cheeks which were now slightly red.

"Me?" Nadine pointed to herself.

"I want to always be around you, Nad!" Christian rests his head on Nadine's shoulder.

Nadine was still frozen and did not understand Christian's words just now.

"I fell in love with you the first time we met. When I just came to this school, then you offered me an empty bench next to your seat. That's when I always pound when I'm around you" Christian said, smiling faintly. The young man was still leaning his head on Nadine's shoulders.

"At that time I even dreamed of making you my wife" Christian said, chuckling.

Unlike Nadine who is still silent.

Nadine laughed, though,

"Chris, we're still in school. I'm not getting married anytime soon. There are still many dreams and ideals that I want to realize," said Nadine who seemed to reject a ridiculous proposal from Christian.

"I will not stop you from achieving your goals and all your dreams. I just want to be by your side when you're already a successful person who's made all your dreams come true" Christian said.

"We can get married when we graduate. Then after that we can date first and do not need to rush to have a baby," added Christian again explained his plan.

Holy hooch!

Why did this young man think that far?

Married at a young age?

Just be right. It was never in the dictionary of a Princess Nadine.

Papa Dion might kill Nadine if Nadine insists on getting married after high school.

"No, Chris! That's ridiculous! I didn't want to get married at a young age. Even if my future husband was a tyrant youth of conglomerate descent," Nadine lowered her tone at the end of the sentence.

"I'm not a matre girl" added Nadine again who felt disapproved of Christian's ridiculous plan.

Christian speechless. For a moment the atmosphere in the UKS room became quiet. There was only the sound of a fan on the ceiling of the room.

"Papa's gonna set me up with the son of a business friend. A business matchmaking," said Christian suddenly breaking the silence.

"I thought if you wanted to marry me, maybe I'd be able to get away from that ridiculous match," Christian added.

"After all, the only girl I want to marry and make a wife is you, Nad," continued Chris as he looked in the direction of Nadine's netra.

"Just you" said Christian once again.

"Your father will immediately kick me out and reject me completely if you take me to your house and intend to make me your wife" Nadine said quickly as she laughed discordantly.

"We're not worth it, Chris,"

"And I never dreamed of being a cinderella married to a rich man like you" Nadine said.

Did Nadine just reject Christian's proposal?

"I'm not a rich man. My rich dad" Christian quickly.

Nadine did not reply again because she was confused to answer how. The mood was silent again.

Teet.

The clock bell has sounded.

Nadine packed back the P3K box she had used to treat wounds on Christian's face.

"We talked and thought too far. We'd better get to class now," Nadine said, returning the P3K box to her place.

Chris did not answer and simply complied. The young man followed Nadine's steps to get out of the UKS room. The two teenagers walked a little quickly to the classroom.
