"Why are you telling me this now?"
"Because I'm tired Jianyu. Two years may not sound much but only I know my pain, my tears. When I saw you again at the party yesterday, I just couldn't stop myself anymore. It was too much. Was it that wrong for me to love you Jianyu?"
He was torn. On one side was his mom. Who he knows wants only what is best for him. But he couldn't defend her now. And on the other side is Suyin. Who had to make such a difficult decision at that time. All alone.
"I'm not saying for us to go back to be…be a couple again. But I hope we can still be good friends."
Silence.
After a long time, he said, "I need some time."
He really needed that time to sort out his feelings now. There were too many things to process.
"Okay. I understand. I'm happy you at least gave me this chance. And.."
She hesitated.
"What?"
"I hope you don't talk to Aunt about this. I don't want any clashes between mother and son. She really loves you. Please don't blame her."
