這個故事是用英文和中文寫的。
*****
“你準備好和我討論結婚的事情了嗎？”瑪麗連續三個月再次提起這個話題。
“親愛的，這已經是你第三次提起這個話題了。”
「所以呢？是還是不是。”
湯姆沉默了。
“ 我覺得你的答案是不是。” 瑪莉摸著肚子，露出一張失望的臉子。
「我們先存起點錢先。我會為你辦一場囂張的婚禮；也許在夏威夷。”
「我們在一起已經七年多了。我大多數的朋友同居不超過五年就結婚了。他們一直在問我什麼時候是我的大日子。”
「我期待很快升職；我們可以在我晉升後，討論這個問題。”
“我以前也聽過這個藉口。”
“這一次，一定是真的了。”
“你去年也這麼說過。”
“不一樣，去年我們公司沒有Budget預算。”
“Hahaha…你怎麼知道你老闆今年有Budget預算？”
湯姆沉默了。
「我再問你一次吧。你現在準備好娶我嗎？”
湯姆露出苦澀的笑容。
「好。我現在就搬出這間公寓。” Tsang瑪麗變得憤怒。
“什麼？”
瑪莉走進臥室，拖著行李到前門。
湯姆抓住瑪麗說：“你不是認真的。是嗎？”
「我沒時間跟你開玩笑。我已經懷孕三個月了。”
湯姆震驚了，他的眼睛睜得大大的。
“父親是誰？”
瑪麗打了他的臉。 “我可以照顧孩子。”
她用力關上前門，聽到嘎吱嘎吱的聲音和關門的聲音。
同時，她也聽見屋內傳來一聲「等等」的大聲喊叫。

This story is written in both English and Chinese.
*****
“Are you ready to discuss getting married?” Mary brought up the subject again consecutively three months.
“Honey, this is the third time you brought up this subject.”
“So what? Yes or no.”
Tom was silent.
“ I guess no.” Mary touched her belly with a disappointed look.
“Let’s save some money first. I want to give you an arrogant wedding party; perhaps in Hawaii.”
“We’ve been together for more than seven years. Most of my friends got married after living together for no more than five years. They’ve been asking me when is my big day.”
“I am expecting a promotion soon; we can discuss this after my promotion.”
“I heard that excuse before.”
“This time it is going to be true.”
“You said that last year.”
“It was different, we didn’t have the budget for promotion last year.”
“Hello… how do you know your boss has budget this year?”
Tom was silent.
“Let me ask you one more time. Are you ready to marry me now?”
Tom put on a bitter smile.
“That’s it. I am moving out of this apartment now.” Mary turned into anger.
“What?”
Mary went into the bedroom and dragged her luggage to the front door.
Tom grabbed Mary and said, “ You aren’t serious.”
“I have no time to joke with you. I am three months pregnant.”
Tom was shocked and his eyes were wide open.
“Who is the father?”
Mary slapped his face. “I can take care of the baby.”
She slammed the front door so hard that she could hear the creaking and slamming sound.
At the same time she could hear a loud voice shouting “wait” from within the house.
