Ketika Cinta Harus Memilih Novels & Stories

“This isn’t about loyalty.” “No,” I say quietly. “It’s about choice.” The room goes still. Because the word hits the center of everything between us. Choice. I step closer. “You said something earlier tonight,” I remind him. “What?” “That love isn’t memory. It’s choice.” Adrian watches me carefully. “Yes.” “So let me choose.” Silence stretches between us. Long enough that my heartbeat becomes loud in my ears. “You don’t remember loving me,” Adrian says. “No.”

Justin said to the class. "In love, we have to be wise about our decisions. We have to sacrifice this feeling for another person. If we don't do this, the regret would have to emerge from our guts. In love, you have to choose a partner that will be your lover until the end of your life. If you have made a wonderful journey with him or her all throughout the years, with your bearing kids, you will know that you have made the right decision in life," Justin nodded at the class. ***

Only then did I finally understand— Love isn’t sacrifice. It isn’t “the greater good.” It isn’t choosing everyone else over her. Love is choosing her first. And by the time I learned that truth— She was already gone.

" 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

"What about him?" I hesitated. "I... I don’t know. He cares for her, that much is obvious. But love?" I exhaled sharply. "I think he does. Even if he doesn’t see it yet." "Find out." "Please… leave us alone," I whispered, though I knew it was useless. "Remember everything and act accordingly, Cassandra."

He catches onto the point like a cheetah's jaws around his prey. Well... "Love is never mandatory for me. It happens by fluke or by fate, and rarely of choice."

Instead, she decided to send a text message. "Hi Kenneth, if you truly love me, then this message is for both of us. Some believe that love is a choice, something that emerges from our hearts, and I also believe that to be true. From the day I met you, I chose to love you. Love is unique, and not everyone has experienced its mysterious nature. Even before I knew you completely, I was already in love with you. You were never just a crush to me, but it seemed like you were hiding, and your brother happened to be a stand-in for you. You worry so much about what others will say, but I only worry about you. Honestly, I wish we had known each other all this time. Love doesn't come easily, it's a r

Elisa interrupts. “What quote?” “If you love two people at the same time, choose the second one. Because if you truly loved the first, you wouldn’t have fallen for the second.” Eloá brings a hand to her face as tears spill down her cheeks. “Elisa...” she whispers, already crying. “Things aren’t that simple.”
