It'll Come Naturally

"Uncle Rain, this is not something I could control or inform you beforehand, because Joyce caught me off guard yesterday and revealed her love for me. I took a spontaneous decision to break her fantasies once and for all," Justin said honestly. Justin too had realized that his rejection was perhaps a little harsh to Joyce, whom he regarded as his sister. In his defense, he believed that beating around the bush could only worsen the situation and would never make the dilemma easier to handle.

"You were undoubtedly very rude to her this time. I guess it will take a long time for my little girl to recover, but I still have you to thank for not giving her any hopeless fantasies, which would have ruined her life," Rain said sincerely. Rain was not here to reproach Justin today. There was nothing wrong with the approach of Justin from a man's point of view, but as Joyce's father, he couldn't help but blame Justin for her misery. To sum it up, he wasn't sure where his allegiance was.

"Uncle Rain, in fact, Joyce is a very lovely and cheerful girl," Justin paused for a while and continued, "Although I don't have any romantic feelings for her, I certainly believe that she deserves a better man than me." He stared at Rain's cold eyes, fearlessly. He honestly believed that he did what was right and that he had hurt none intentionally. Joyce would always be his beloved sister.

"I think so too", said Rain, a little relieved. "The reason I came here today is to tell you that even if Joyce begs you to reconsider your decision, you should not budge an inch from your present decision. Any hope on you that she might have will only end up harming her." Rain was worried that if Joyce came to plead before Justin, he might consider shedding his toughness. It was duty to avoid any more of such incidents.

"Uncle Rain, you can be assured, I will not alter my decision!" Justin said, perhaps a little annoyed. "I have my own integrity and I shall keep my decisions firmly." Justin threw an uncomfortable look at Rain and thought, 'Unlike you, Uncle Rain, I would never be so unprincipled.'

"It's settled then. I need to go now," Rain said, standing up. "As for whatever happened with Joyce, sorry for all the trouble she has brought to you. But remember, don't you dare think about reconsidering your decision", Rain reminded him again, perhaps just to reassure himself.

"I got it, Uncle Rain. Goodbye!" Justin said sincerely. After watching him walk out of his office, he leaned on the chair in a blissful remorse.

If he ever had another option in sight, he would never have opted to hurt Joyce. Considering her future, he had to be ruthless to her.
