Was Diane desperate or was she trying so hard?
Alex loves Tina a lot, they have been secretly dating for three years. When Alex finally came out to tell his parents, his choice of woman he wants to marry, they rejected Tina immediately and drove her out.
Alex wasn't worried, he was ready to marry Tina in secret, and live in a far country in secret with her.
He came home to spend a final time with them, before proceeding with his plans.
During that period, his parents brought Diana to him, telling him to marry Diane quickly.
He can't say no to his parents, he wanted to be truthful to Diane or at least make Diane refuse the proposal from his parents.
So, he called Diane and told him about Tina, who he loves so much.
To his surprise, Diane was in to play his parent's game, saying with time he will forget Tina and be with her forever.
“What a risky move” Alex thought to himself.
If only they know his plans, it could have saved them the stress.
He will soon be with the real owner of his love.
