"Alexi..." Martin called.
"Yes?" Alexi asked.
"Do you wanna tell me what is bothering you?" Martin asked but Alexi released him from the hug.
"Huh?" Martin asked.
"It's alright! If you don't want to tell me!" Martin said as he scratched the back of his neck.
"Ummm... Martin!" Alexi called and Martin looked up at her.
"What if you leave me after you get to know my past?" Alexi asked holding herself strong!
"Huh? What do you mean?" Martin asked.
"Please answer me... What if you leave me after you get to know my past?" Alexi asked.
"Why will I leave you after getting to your past? I will understand you and we will be happy!" Martin answered and Alexi sighed.
"Alexi, if this is what bothering you from the evening please talk to me... I may help you... I don't want to see you so worried!" Martin said and a tear falls down from Alexi's eyes. Seeing the tear Martin got tensed.
"Hey, what happened? Did I say anything wrong?" Martin asked as he walked closer towards her.
Martin wiped the tear away from Alexi's eyes but more tears fall down from her eyes.
"Alexi, what happened?" Martin asked her as he cupped her face but Alexi just hugged Martin tightly and cried on his shoulder.
Martin frowned but hugged her and just let her cried on his shoulder.
He caressed her hair as she cried on his shoulder and as she calmed down. He made her sit on the couch and gave Alexi a glass of water. Alexi took it and drank the water. Martin sighed and walked towards the walk-in closet to get dressed. He wore sweats and walked out of the walk-in closet. He saw Alexi wiped her tears away and closed her eyes. Martin slowly walked towards her and sat beside her from the couch.
Alexi opened her eyes and looked at Martin.
"Umm... I will get a shower!" Alexi said as she was about to get up from the couch but Martin grabbed her wrist.
"Can you please sit down for a few minutes?" Martin asked.
"Martin... If you want to talk about what I said earlier... Then please leave it... It doesn't matter anymore..." Martin cut off Alexi in mid-sentence as he signed.
"No... I am not going to talk about what you said earlier but please can you sit down for a few minutes?" Martin asked and Alexi nodded.
Alexi sits beside Martin and didn't dare to look into his eyes.
"Alexi... Look at me!" Martin said but Alexi didn't.
"Alexi, please... Look at me!" Martin said again but with a little more stern voice. Alexi sighed and looked at him in the eyes.
"Martin, I am sorry... I didn't mean to ask that. It just that... I don't know..." Martin cut off Alexi in mid-sentence as he kept his finger on her lips.
"Listen to me before you want to talk anything!" Martin replied and Alexi nodded her head.
Martin took Alexi's hands in his hands and looked at her.
"I don't know anything about your past." Martin said as he looked into Alexi's eyes.
"I really don't know anything about your past and I don't bother to ask it to you... Did you ever felt that I am forcing you to tell me about your past? Did I ever before?" Martin asked and Alexi shook her head.
"I want words, Alexi!" Martin said.
"No... You didn't!" Alexi replied.
"Because I know you and I trust you!" Martin said and Alexi looked up at him in his eyes.
"Yes... I trust you and I know that you will tell me about your past someday... Or even if you don't want to tell me then it's perfectly alright with me... Because I just want to share a future with you. Past is already past! We shouldn't care about them now when it's already over!" Martin said as he cupped Alexi's face.
"I don't know why you look so worried today! I don't even know why you cried now and I am not going to ask you too! But one question made me think that you are thinking about your past! I don't know why you suddenly got worried about it!" Martin said looking into Alexi's eyes.
"But... Trust me. I am not going to ask you anything. Not your past or anything. But if you want to tell me about it... I will listen to you but if you don't then it's alright!" Martin said.
"Just trust want you to trust me and believe in our love... I love you, Alexi, and I can do anything for you no matter what!" Martin said and a tear falls down from Alexi's eyes.
Martin smiled as he wiped the tear away from her eyes.
"You are strong, Alexi. So strong woman! I know, you will not cry for something silly but I think it's something important which hurts you a lot..." Martin said and Alexi looked at the other side.
"Alexi... I am not asking you anything... I am just telling you now to forget about all the things that happened... I don't know what happened actually... So, I can't tell you to forget it so easily. I know it's hard! I know, it's so damn hard but please try it for me... Try for me to forget about everything!" Martin said and Alexi looked at him.
"Please... I will not judge you or point out at you or question you about anything in the future even if I get to know about anything because I know whatever you did in the past was the right thing you did at that time!" Martin said with a small smile.
"I want to spend the future with you! I want you to be with me. I want to make a happy family with you! I want you to love me till death do us apart!" Martin said with a big smile and Alexi nodded her head.
"Thank you!" Alexi replied as she hugged him tightly.
