One week later

Viktor sighed as he heard the sad moans and groans made by his son as he passed by his bedroom. As he had predicted and well knew, Rosey had said no to him.

"She doesn't want me...." he heard him scream into something, probably a pillow. "I loved- love her so much... how can she just... fucking bitch. I FUCKING HATE YOUR ROSEY! I FUCKING HATE YOU!"

Viktor had realised that since getting together with Rosey, Atanas spoke only in English unless the circumstances said elsewise.

He knocked on the door and waited for the response of his son. When he had none, he entered the room to find a teary eyed twenty year old man stare into him with surprise and shame.

"She doesn't love me." he muttered, much more to himself than to Viktor. "She doesn't love me."

Viktor rolled his eyes and brought his son to his feet.

"I told you to be patient didn't I? Rosey isn't the easy girls you've had so much of in the past. You need to show her something, make her believe that you are the one."

Atanas screwed his face. "She's rejected me once, she's going to do it again. She doesn't want me."

"If she doesn't want you, why am I receiving letters from Hermione that Rosey's been crying all day in her room and not leaving for work? She's told me that Rosey's really upset and thinks that you wouldn't want her again after what she did to you."

Atanas looked at her father with wide eyes.

"So she wants me?" he asked eagerly.

Viktor shrugged.

"Be patient with her. She's not one of those girls who will go with the flow. She has her own pace. She will grow up one day and be serious. I promise you."

Atanas looked at his father curiously.

"Why do you know so much about women?" he asked. "Dated more women than me?" he joked.

Viktor shook his head.

"Rosey was just the way your mother was. She rejected me five times before finally growing up from her childish games and accepting me."

"She rejected you so many times and you still stayed strong and stayed true to her?" Atanas asked, surprised. "How? Why?"

Viktor looked at his son seriously.

"Atanas, that is what love is. When you love someone, you'd love them more than you would love yourself. You wouldn't care what would've happened to yourself."

"But-"

"You need to leave soon. Training starts in ten minutes."
