"Justin, let's break up."
The words that came from Jessy made Justin's heart feel like it was struck by lightning. Without any problems between them, the woman suddenly asked for a break up.
"Jess, we talked about it and you agreed to wait for me" Justin said.
"Yes, I know. But I don't think I can with you anymore. We've just ended our relationship here."
Jessy lowered. His face turned grim. However, he felt sad to end the relationship with the man he loved.
Justin grabbed Jessy's hand and held her tightly. "I love you and will fight for you, Jessy." he said in a earnest tone.
"I don't deserve to fight. Breaking up is the best way for us." Jessy remained firm on her stance.
Justin was surprised by Jessy's attitude. "Say, is my family threatening you?" tanyanya's worried. Someone may know about their closeness and intimidate Jessy to break up.
"none. It's my own will."
Justin remained silent. In his heart was a vexation he could not convey. She has the courage to introduce Jessy to her family. "You don't love me anymore?" tanyakanya.
"Yes" said Jessy.
What Jessy had just revealed did not come from her heart. Justin was his first love. It is not that easy to get rid of the feeling of liking in the person he loves.
He just wanted to immediately resolve the complexity of the relationship between them. It was inappropriate for her to remain in a relationship with Justin when she slept with her father.
"Oh, My God!" Justin was on the floor. His feet no longer had the strength to stand.
This time he was crying. It was decided Jessy was so painful for him. He deliberately hid his face, embarrassed to cry in front of Jessy.
"I'm sorry." Jessy sat down next to Justin.
"You must think I'm a loser, right?"
Justin asked with tears. Jessy, who saw him, couldn't cry. Her guilt grew because her decision had left Justin hurt.
Justin pulled something out of his pocket. A sparkling ring inside a tiny jewelry box. "This is the first thing I can buy with my own efforts. I want to prove to you that I'm starting to be independent and that you can count on me."
With tears in her eyes, Jessy closed the ring box. "I'm not the right person to accept this thing, Justin."

Magda invited Mark to lunch with the Russel family. The purpose of their meeting was to discuss the continuation of Justin and Ellena's relationship.
Since then, Mark's gaze was directed at Ellena. That woman doesn't seem to be a bad woman. Justin doesn't like it.
He felt sorry for Justin who had to follow in the footsteps of his fate. Being matched is not a fun thing. Especially with someone who is not loved at all.
If Justin is free to choose his own partner, surely his nephew will choose Jessy. He wouldn't want Jessy to be with Justin. Because he knew, Jessy also loved her nephew. Jessy wants to be with him just for the money. His love is still for Justin.
"I heard that your business in London has become big" Mr. Russell said.
"Ah, it's still a long way off with your business" Mark replied.
"15 years in London, starting a business as big as it is now is definitely not an easy thing. Justin had to learn from his father to run a business."
Mr. Russell was a little confused by Mark's remarks. "Did Justin not want to continue the family business?" tanyakanya.
"I don't know. He is very young to determine his future" Mark replied casually.
"If Justin is married to Ellena, he will definitely have the responsibility to take care of the company" Mrs Russell said.
Mark was just smiling hearing that opinion. For many years, marriage was just a tool to do business, not to build a happy household.
"Oh, yes. Why hasn't Justin arrived yet? Is he busy on campus?" ask Mr. Russell.
"I think he'll be here soon" Magda replied as she looked at her watch.
"I'm here!" exclaim Justin.
They were shocked to see Justin there. He did not come alone but took Jessy with him. Justin is really desperate to bring Jessy to his family.
Jessy bowed before Justin's family and his fiancee. Especially there is Mark. He could not resist the will of Justin who forced him to come along. He did not expect Justin to bring him in front of them.
"Justin .... Jessie ...." Magda's heart was almost dislodged seeing the two children there. Although it is common to meet Jessy, but seeing Justin bring his friend to an important event is not natural. Especially today's meeting with the Russell family.
"Mom, I'm sorry" Justin said.
"This ... Mean what? Who's that woman?" ask Mrs Russell.
"Mr and Miss Russell, as well as Ellena ... I apologized for this disrespect. From the beginning I did not approve of the matchmaking you agreed. There is a woman I love very much and I want to marry her. The woman I'm with is Jessy, we've been dating for almost two years and loving each other." Justin bravely said it in front of everyone.
"Justin!" snapped Magda. He did not expect his son would dare to act so outrageously.
"Mom, I can't lie to myself if I love Jessy. Please, don't force me to marry another woman" Justin pleaded.
The look on Russell's face turned irritated. Ellena seemed devastated to hear the man she liked confessing feelings to another woman. Though he was betrothed, he had been attracted to Justin from the beginning.
"Justin, you can't be like this" Jessy said.
Justin clasped Jessy's hand so tightly. "Jessy, I told you I was serious with you" he said.
Jessy's body trembled standing in front of the people she thought had power. He was no one, like an Abu Upik whom the prince brought to the palace.
"Mother Magda, how could your son be so disrespectful? Do you mean to embarrass our family?" Mr. Russell looks very angry. Moreover, seeing the expression of his daughter who was disappointed to see her fiance bringing another woman there.
"Mr Russell, forgive my son. It seems like he needs time to accept the family decision. Jessy's just Justin's college friend, they're not really dating." Magda tried to protect her son.
"Mom, we've been dating for a long time!" rebut Justin.
"What the fuck is all this? You guys are really outrageous towards my daughter!" Mrs Russell did not accept it. "We better get out of here!" Mrs Russell took her son and husband away from the place.
"Madam, this is just a misunderstanding. We can talk about it well." Magda tried to make things right, but they seemed disappointed.
"Don't force me anymore, Mom. I have my own choice. Only Jessy wants me to marry you!" justin insists while taking Jessy away with him.
Magda still can't believe Justin and Jeasy have a relationship. He once asked Jessy and was rebutted. Both of them are hiding their relationship.
