Chris didn't want Maya to feel bad, he didn't like the way she was crying in front of him with her palms pressed against her face and her shoulders trembled slightly.
He didn't want to be the reason for her sadness later, so he couldn't help but say what she wanted to hear from him.
" I love you too " he said.
Maya froze when she heard him say that.
Was she dreaming ?
Was she hearing things ?
She slowly lifted her head up to look at him, there was a small smile on his on his lips as he stared back at her.
Did he just said that ?
Did he really meant what he said ?
Or was he just saying it to make her feel better ?
Well, that doesn't matter for now. As time goes by he would learn to love her just as she did.
" Are you...are you serious " she asked him to be sure.
" Yes...stop crying okay ? "
" Okay " Maya said and Chris helped her cleaned her tears.
" Thank you for accepting me " she said.
