okay. Im going to describe this in a weird way.. but I picture it as if it is a video/movie
it isn’t a specific setting.. could be in a different country, in earlier times, now, whatever
the beginning shows two people who are performing the daily tasks that they have to do, but they feel vacant, as if they aren’t themselves. it must be someone else who is in this lonely situation. they feel as if this must not be their reality they’re just dreaming or watching a movie or reading… their life would be.. has to be better…
but they know inside it is really happening to them.
Then they’re trying to surround themselves with friends and stay busy so that they can keep their minds of off each other. But that vacant lonely feeling is overpowering everything. They cant stop thinking about what happened.
In the next scene the guy has called her or written her letters/emailed her, and the girl is replying by telling the guy to leave her alone. She’s gone. She can’t see him and she doesn’t want him to keep contacting her... you can see by her face that she is filled with longing when she hears his voice.
And then the "i'm in love with your daughter" part is a flashback. We see a time when the guy asked or begged the girls’ father to let him marry her, but for some reason they cannot be together even though she truly loves him. (whether it be because her parents won’t allow the relationship.. she’s going away to a college or career she’s been working for all of her life.. she’s in an arranged marriage... she's got some fatal disease and she’s trying to keep him from getting hurt.. )
but she still loves him and wants him to leave her alone because it hurts too much to hear from him and have him there still trying to convince her to be with him.
then at the end of the story I would imagine that each of them ended up living their own lives and one of them marries somebody else. The other hasn’t been married. And each of them have a box full of the letters they’d written or memories of each other hidden away in a closet or under the bed.
