It is Impossible

  "Is it possible?" asks Matthew via text and then he waits.

    Ding. His phone rings. Matthew opens it and read the reply: "No". He sighs in disbelief. He has to fight for it. He doesn't want to lose her.

    "What if we meet?" he writes again and sends it to her.

    "Matthew, I told you, It's impossible!"

    "But I don't want to lose you Alice!"

    On the other side, Alice, a beautiful young girl with blonde hair and covers in white skin, sobbing hard. Tissues are crumbled all over her bed. She doesn't want to end this relationship as well. But she can't do anything. Alice just stares at her phone with an empty look. 

    Ding. Alice opens her phone. "I've never met you. Please just give me a chance!"

    "Alright, but if my parents still reject you, we're done" said Alice via text and then she starts crying and screaming so hard in her bedroom. 

    A week later Matthew arrived at the LaGuardia International Airport in New York while Alice is waiting at the arrival terminal. They hug and exchange kisses. It is the first time they are met and they already sobbing. But deep inside they are happy to finally meet each other. It's been 2 years since they met in social media and now, they can touch each other and be together. 

    "How long are you going to be in New York?" Alice asks. 

    "I am gonna be back tomorrow."

    "Oh" Alice disappoints. "My father-" 

    "I know. I know. Let's think about that later. All I want to do now is to spend time with you. Okay babe?"   

    Alice nods and then she gets in her car. "Where are you staying?" 

    "At the Holiday Inn Hotel." Matthew answered as Alice tries to remember where is at.

    "That's downtown!"

    "Can't you blame me? That's the cheapest I can afford plus I wanna see time square at night."

    "Okay, hold on tight! Let's go!" Alice flattens the gas pedal, and they lunch.

    "Wow, you're really excited babe!" 

    They play Taylor Swift over the radio and sing it loudly. It's a "Belong with me" that is playing on the radio. Later, they arrive at Queens, one of the big neighborhoods in New York city. Alice pulls up to the curb and sits there silently as she turns off the car's engine. 

    "This is your house?" asks Matthew and Alice just nods. She doesn't want him to meet his father. She looks scared and reluctant to get out of her car. 

    "My father wanna to meet you," she starts to sob. "But I am afraid, he will reject you!"

    Matthew looks close to Alice and wipes her tears from her cheeks. "It's gonna be okay, you can trust me! Okay?"

    Alice nods and she kisses Matthew on the lips. They're both share intimate moments until someone shouts at them. Matthew and Alice quickly pull out from each other and see Alice's father coming down from the stairs, approaching them.

    

    They're now at the living room as Alice's father stares at him with menacing look. His name is Jake and through his eyes Matthew can see that he hates him.

    "What are you doing here? Are you gonna take my daughter from me?"

    "No sir.

    "Then what the fuck are you doing meeting my daughter here?"

    "I am here to marry your daughter sir!"

    "You dare to come here and ask me to marry my daughter?  You're a Muslim and she's a Christian! You both can't be together."

    "But sir, I love your daughter. I promise I am gonna make her happy."

    "No buts, get out of here, before I call the cops!"

    "But dad, I love him!" Alice who has been silent finally speaks. 

    "No you can't love him nor meet him anymore! It's for your own good Alice! Now you! Get out of my house!"

   

    That night, in downtown, New York, the fireworks explode in the air beautifully. But tears run on their both cheeks as they have to separate ways and won't meet each other anymore. 

The End
