''Why? You don't want to marry me?''
''Not that. I just think that, you are rushing it'' Jasper turned and looked around. He saw a two-seater bench at the side and pulled Inayah over to sit with him.
''You still have school to go, you're still young. You need to experience life before we can think about marriage''
Inayah's face turned gloomy, ''you don't want to marry me, right? You think I am still young and immature, right?''
''No, I don't think of you like that. Listen to me, Ayah. Marriage is a lifetime commitment. I don't want to rush you. I want you to take your time and think it through''
''I get it. Let's not talk about it again. I promise I won't talk about or ask you anything concerning marriage ever again''
''What?''
