“I probably did not tell you but Lisa had disappeared from my house after signing the divorce papers.” Alex told Rosy, letting out a deep sigh afterward. “It’s been almost two weeks now -1 think it’s the day after she came to the hospital.”
Rosy smiled inwardly, truly, the piece of information Alex had shared worth the time she had used in waiting for his arrival -it was as though a rock–like roadblock had just been lifted off her path miraculously after months of trying without any yielding results.
“That’s a good news for us, Alex. She announced, displaying her white dental sheepishly. “There is no hindrance to us finally being together anymore -Lisa has left, and now it’s just the two of us. Don’t you agree?”
Alex find himself sighing again, not sure if he’s supposed to be happy as Rosy; he doesn’t even know if it’s truly a good news. Lisa suddenly leaving him and disappearing without traces was bothering enough, coupled with the fact that he left him something he never thought she’ll ever be able to afford even if she work her ass off for a decade or more.
“Lisa leaving without any word or traces has been quite bothering for a while now, Rosy.” Alex said slowly and immediately, Rosy’s smiley face was ruined as she frowned afterwards. “I don’t know but it’s really bothering and I couldn’t even think straight after she left me a gift.”
“A gift, huh?” Rosy asked with a furrowed brow, surprised. “What

do you mean by she left you a gift? She’s not even well off to afford things for herself, how then did she manage to gift you. one?”
“Beats my imagination.” Alex remarked and brought out the small wrapped box, just as Lisa had left it for him, from his pocket. “Here, take a look at this. It isn’t just an type or random gift. This worth more than a fortune to someone of her class and standard.”
Rosy collected the gift from Lisa, her brows still creased and few lines were visible on her forehead. She opened the box as she examined the gift inside it’s a wristwatch. As she sees the watch, her eyes were opened widely and she finds it hard to believe her what she was seeing.
“Just tell me this is a fabricated story, Alex.” Rosy sounded. more doubtful than Alex thought she will be; guess he’s not the only one who had underestimated Lisa. “-because there is no way an ordinary nurse would afford a limited edition at that. You know how much this cost, don’t you?”
“I know…” He replied casually, saying again for the umpteenth time. “This is why I’m worried about her, I don’t even know anything about her. I wonder if she’s okay at the moment, she’s too fragile to do better on her own.”
Rosy wouldn’t deny the fact that Alex’s words hurt her feelings a little. Did he not say he did not care about her? Why should he be worried about whatever happens to her? She choose to leave him, yeah, it’s her decision and not something for Alex to be bothered about. Rosy had thought Lisa had left for good but even her absence made Rosy even more uncomfortable.
Rosy was afraid that her months of pushing Lisa away from his

life would go down the drain with just a little worry about Lisa from Alex. What if the worry turn something wild and Lisa had to come back to him and he accepted her again?
Rosy shook off the thoughts from head. She can’t afford to let such thing happen -not while she’s still clinging to Alex and taking him as hers. For her not to lose him again, she has to do everything she can to have him wrapped around her finger and clean whatever feelings he’s having that isn’t towards her -even if it’s just a worry.
Rosy reached out for Alex’s hands, holding them in hers. She stared at him with an intense gaze as though she’s trying to cast a spell on him. “Let’s get married, Alex.” She announced without a forewarning. “Let’s be officially together.”
Alex stared at him, having a mixed feelings -the type he failed to understand. Rosy’s confession was as though a time bomb had been dropped on him because it was the least he expected from her at the moment; he didn’t even expect such confession from her at all.
“I…” Alex opened his mouth to say something after recovering from his shock but Rosy beat him to it, placing her index finger on his lips to shut him up.
“Please, Alex, don’t say no to my proposal.” Rosy sounded desperate, her intense gaze was blazing fire and attention. “I’ll accept any other answer from you but not a ‘no’, Alex.”
Alex has never find himself in such a dilemma as this before; maybe he has but those were the type where he could navigate his way out of it and find a better solution but this one wasn’t as easy as the rest. He needed to be sure his reply wouldn’t be something he would regret or hurt Rosy’s feeling with it.

He breathed in deeply, exhaling as well. “Look here, Rosy…” Alex. uttered as he caressed her face lightly and placed his palm between her jaw, cheek and ear. “I’m not ready to get married, at least not now. It’s not even up to a month since my last marriage ended, I can’t jump into another one.”
“So, is that a no?” Rosy inquired in a whisper, her voice cracked and sounded as though she was afraid if hearing her own voice. “Remember I told you I won’t take no for an answer, Alex. You can’t tell me no, you can’t!”
Alex felt really sorry for hurting Rosy’s feeling but at that moment, he felt as though it’s not what he wanted. “I’m sorry, Rosy, I did not mean to hurt you with my reply but I feel like we should take things slowly rather than get into a rush like this. Can you please try to understand me?”
“You are hurting me and still want me to understand? How much slower do we need to take things?” Rosy flared up, wearing an angry face. “You know Lisa from nowhere and that didn’t stop you from marrying her but we’ve been together for years and you want us to take things slow?”
Alex sighed softly, not having a reply to Rosy he proceeded to leave instead. He already tell himself that he’ll try to make her understand his point when she’s less sensitive; it’ll be futile to try anything at that moment.
“I’ll take that back.” Alex collected the small box and the wristwatch that was laying on Rosy’s laps and stood up, facing her. “Let’s get you home instead, Rosy, we can continue this. conversation some other time. Now isn’t the right time for this.”
Rosy felt dejected at how Alex had managed to turn things around with words. Her feelings weren’t different from an
