Ketika Cinta Harus Memilih Novels & Stories

Everyone talked freely, and the mood was lively. As I looked around at the smiling faces, I felt a sense of relief and freedom I'd never known before. For the first time since I was ten, I laughed without any defenses. Even in those years I was in love with Morgan, I'd never been this joyful. Back then, I was always anxious. I was convinced his love was too surreal to be true. Now, I'd finally found myself. I'd finally understood that love had to be self-sustaining. I couldn't keep begging for it from others.

And when everything was over, he stood at my grave and ended his own life with a bullet. That memory burned in my mind. I pushed the tray aside and rose to my feet. "Mom, I want to marry Robert Black." The teacup in her hand slipped, shattering on the floor. "Via, do you even hear yourself? That man is disfigured, violent, and cruel. You cannot ruin your life over a fit of spite!" I met her gaze, firm and unwavering. "I love him. I want no one else but him." Silence suffocated the room. My mother let out a long, weary sigh. "Very well. This is your choice. But you are my daughter, and I won't let anyone mistreat you."

He didn’t want to let go or maybe he was afraid that I would disappear if he let go of me but I didn’t say a word, I allowed him to have his moment. “I have seen you happy and I have seen you sad, Sel” Aiden continued, “and on each of those days, u make a decision to love you harder not because it’s easy but because that’s the only thing I can do. Love! Love is not a feeling, Selena. Love is choosing someone and making a decision to have their back for life, making a decision to choose them everyday because the moment you stop, everything crashes. Selena, love—“ his voice trailed off as I closed my eyes and allowed his words to sink in.

Even if it means flying away from me. That’s what real love is, isn’t it? Not taking. Not needing. But choosing. And letting them choose, too

No matter what obstacles you face, if you have love in your heart, you can overcome them. Aurora sat silently beside Derek with her hand firmly grasping his. The words about love conquering all seemed to resonate within her, as if they were speaking directly to her heart. She looked over at Derek, his strong features illuminated by the moonlight, and felt a warmth spread through her. She leaned her head against his shoulder, feeling safe and protected in his embrace.

I had hoped that the two of them would be able to help me figure out the right answer, but they were like the two sides of my conscience that had been warring it out. I wasn’t sure if there was a ‘right’ answer. How could I choose between kind, caring, grow-old-together love and hot, steamy, can’t-get-enough-of-each-other passion for each other? Which was better? Which was right for me? Which did I want? I returned my attention back to Kris and Kim's conversation just in time to hear them come to an agreement. “One thing’s for sure,” Kim held up her glass to toast. “She needs to make a decision soon and stick with it.”

I laughed "I'm not." "Eliza." I spat, my voice coming out sharper than I intended, "You don't love him. You can't love him. You're mine." "I don't belong to anyone!" she snapped back, her eyes blazing. "Maybe him, but definitely not to a weak man like you. I choose who I love." I take a breath and a step closer despite my hurting heart. "When?" I ask quietly. "When did this happen? You've known we're mare for a long while" I stated

" I love him and I'm sorry, but if I have to choose between you and him, I will love you both. I will choose you both. But if you make me choose then I will choose him." I played with my fingers, knowing that I was pouring my heart out in front of my family too. But it needed to be done and I should have done it sooner. " I know I did wrong by not telling you. I know you're pissed off but we can't help who we love Mira." I throw my hands up. " We can't choose who we fall in love with, it just happens. But what we can choose is who we let go." I shook my head. " And I won't let go. I'd choose you both but if you force me to choose I will choose him because I won't let him go. And that's my c

--- Vespera joined us. "The third task is tomorrow. The choice. Your mate or your children." "You said it was symbolic." "It is. But the choice must be real to you. You must believe, in your heart, that you are choosing one over the other." "That's cruel." "Love is cruel. Love is sacrifice. Love is choosing, again and again, even when it hurts." I looked at Dax. "I won't choose. I can't." Vespera's eyes softened. "Then you fail."

"You really believe that? That love is about choosing each other every day, even when it is hard?" Kai nodded, his voice steady. "I know it. I have lived it. Love is not a feeling that just happens to you. It is a choice. A choice you make every single day, in every single moment. And when you make that choice, when you commit to it with your whole heart, there is nothing that can break it. Not the darkness, not time, not distance. Nothing." Aric pulled him into a hug, holding him tight. His voice was thick with emotion when he spoke. "Thank you, Mama. I do not know what I would do without you. You have always been my guide, my comfort, my strength."
