Maya sighed and looked down at her hand which Clara was holding. " You don't understand Clara, I don't want him to have dispute with his parents because of me. He's their only son and they have so many expectations of him. I don't want to be selfish and separate him from them." she bit her lips while her shoulders slumped.
Clara shook her head and sighed again. Maya had told her how his family had invited and lashed out at her, even pleading her to leave their son alone as they would only allow him to marry from an affluent family. ' we're in the twenty-first century for god's sake.' she sighed again. Even though Maya's Dad works in the town's registry, he held a very high position and was practically the second richest man in their province but their normal civilian lives couldn't be compared to the extravagance life of the wealthy socialites of the city.
