Chapter 5 - Love

The disapproval from the neighbours made our bond to grow even stronger, it was as if the more they talked about us the more we grew closer. We did everything together like she was my other half, it could have been impossible for anyone to believe that we weren't dating.

People started avoiding me saying that I was also infected, it was hard to pass through the shopping centre without feeling their eyes leering at me, but that didn't matter for I had an habit of not caring at all.

Everything was going on well until my father got involved with it, someone had called him and told him that "your son is digging a grave of his own". I tried to explain to him that nothing was going on but he couldn't hear me."I never want to see you with that girl again".He completed the argument with a stringent voice.

Knowing my self better, I wasn't the type to take commands even from my own father. I told Daisy about everything but I told her not to worry, we decided that we would reduce our interactions so as to avoid confrontations.

Regulating the times we meet made us realise how we were fond to each other, we would call each other all the time just to talk and laugh, am I falling in love? I wondered, but I shrugged the thought as fast as it came.

One day my father called me, there was pain and anger in his voice, he complained to me how he had struggled to built his legacy from nothing and I was about to ruin it all. I couldn't understand at first, I thought we had been discreet in our endeavours, but apparently people will just watch you no matter what, especially the ones that are idle. My father was so angry that he told me it was either I abandon the girl or I leave his house. I couldn't believe he would say that to me.

The words from my father kept me thinking for a long time, I talked to Kevin but he had no solution for me. After thinking for a long time I went to talk to Daisy, I didn't know what to say to her I just wanted to talk. On seeing her, her beauty melted my heart, I took my father's words as a sign and I proposed to her. There was no way I was going to live without her, and because the worse had already happened, there was no point of being friends when everyone thought we were dating. After all there was nothing I felt for her more than love. So I made it official.
