Martha's top-secret diary - 2
.
My dear diary,
I'm so excited! Tomorrow is our six-month anniversary and Jonathan said he's preparing a very nice surprise for me. I don't know what it can be but… oh god, after the romantic picnic near the lake in Smallville he prepared for our three-month date, I don't know what he can have prepared this time!
We have accorded not to buy presents, so I'm going to give him something that costs no money… I'm going to tell daddy about him because I know, I feel, this is something serious.
.
The next day Jonathan picked Martha from college on his van and blindfolded her with a red handkerchief.
"Where are we going?" Martha wondered very excited to know what the surprise would be this time.
"It wouldn't be a surprise if I told you" he advised.
After a journey that seemed very long for Martha, Jonathan parked the car and helped her to come out, showing her the way and warning her of the stairs they had to climb.
"Alright… are you ready?" he asked.
"I am, come on!" she exclaimed impatiently.
He came towards her, kissed her lips softly and removed the handkerchief from her eyes. Martha found herself at the loft of the Kent's farm barn, surrounded by lots of red tulips drawing a heart on the wood floor under their feet. It was the very first time she was there, Jonathan had put lots of candles everywhere and there was a cloth on the ground with some cakes and vine. In a corner there was an old record player that he turned on and it began to play The way you look tonight.
"Do you like it?" Jonathan asked looking around and holding her hands.
"It's lovely" she said resting her head on his shoulder while they began to dance.
"Martha… I've been thinking on us…" he began to told "We know each other since just six months ago but… Martha" he stopped dancing and stepped back to be able to stare at her eyes "I feel like if I knew you since ever. You are… the other half of me"
"Oh, Jonathan…" she said touched and almost crying.
"I know it's very early but, there's something…" he walked to the big opening on the wall without releasing her hands and let her look at the views to the fields. "What do you say?"
She smiled and some tears finally came out from her eyes while they read on the fields those big letters saying "Marry me".
"I cannot afford an engagement ring, I won't be able to pay for the wedding you've surely been dreaming all your life but… I love you, and I know you're the one I want to have my family with"
"Yes" she said.
"What?"
"I do, I'll marry you, Jonathan Kent" she said cupping his face and kissing his lips with a passion she'd never showed out before.
"NO WAY!"
"But Sir…"
"No way!" Mr. Clark exclaimed one more time "I won't let my daughter marry a… a…"
"Mr. Clark, I love her…" Jonathan insisted "I know I'm not the guy you were expecting for your daughter, but nobody will love her as much as I…"
"NO!" William Clark shouted standing up from his desk "I won't let my daughter marry a country bumpkin farmer looking for her money!"
It was at that point when Jonathan couldn't stand anymore the hurting comments coming from Mr. Clark's mouth and in a knee-jerk reaction he punched his face and left the office.
Dear diary,
I've missed a cool scene between daddy and Jonathan today. Apparently Jon has punched daddy when he's gone to his office to ask for my hand in marriage. Dad has said nothing since he's come back home, but Jonathan is very sad. When we've met he's began to say things like I don't deserve him and he's not the right man for me… He's said he won't be able to give me the life I'm used to and that he has not the right to ask me to leave them behind… I've got very upset and I've told him I don't care about any of these things, I've said him I just need his love to be happy and that I'll marry him any way. I'm going to talk with daddy right now to tell him.
.
"I want you to prepare your luggage" William Clark said when Martha came into the dining room.
"Are we going anywhere?" she wondered sitting down.
"You're going to spent a few time at Elisabeth's"
"Oh dad, no! Why the hell would I want to go to Minnesota with Aunty Elisabeth?"
"I've already called her… She's very happy to have some company and you'll be finishing your degree with her"
"No way! I have plans"
"You mean marrying that stupid farmer that came to my office this morning?"
"Yes"
"Forget it… I'm not going to consent that marriage, ever!"
"Well… in that case I guess I'm going to pack my things…" she said leaving the room.
"Good girl"
"…but not to go to Minnesota, but to take a taxi to Smallville!" She yelled out closing the door behind her.
Fifteen years later… .. .

Clark came into the house with a worried face, Martha noticed it immediately, and giving him his lunch she asked what was the matter.
"I've met this guy being in town… I think he… he knows about my powers"
"Are you sure?" Martha exclaimed.
"He saw me using them, mom… but he was drunk, maybe he won't…"
"Is anyone from the town? Anyone we know?"
"No… he's a journalist… he's investigating about the meteor shower… His name's… White, I think… Perry White, yes"
The glasses Martha was carrying to the table crashed on the floor after that name resounded on her mind. Clark stood up and helped his mother tidy that mess.
"Are you ok?" he wondered.
"Yes" she said nervously "they just slipped from my hands…" she muttered "I… I'm going upstairs… tell your dad that his lunch is in the oven when he came in"
"Ok"
But Martha didn't went upstairs, she went to the barn and began to look into some old boxes until she found one saying Martha. From the box she took out some photo-albums and old clothes, at the bottom she found her old pink top-secret diary.
"I can't believe it" she whispered to herself opening the notebook and reading the first lines of those old pages looking for that name… that name she was sure to be the same in her memories when suddenly…
... Today I've met the guy I want to marry with...
... Perry was so sweet with me…...
... Yesterday was an incredible night!...
... I'm sure Perry's going to call me soon...
... Perry was so sweet with me…...
