Novel & Cerita Love Story By Francis Lai

"Cool, I'm Mike. Well, I was hoping you'd like to hangout this weekend. I don't know. Like watch a movie or something? Star Wars is in the cinema this weekend." "Sure. I'd love to go. I get off at 7pm. Here's my phone number." Layla watched Carmen and the cute guy exchange digits. It was all so adorable yet so funny. "Awesome. I'll pick you up." And he smiled and left. Carmen was still acting dreamy after the whole conversation. She fanned herself with her hand like she was a posh white lady scared of the tiniest bit of perspiration. "I thought you hated Star Wars?" asked Layla with a tease.

"I don't need you to do anything." "Bruno, you still don't get it," I said slowly. "I stopped loving you a long time ago." "I'm in love with Lorenzo. I love him." His pupils constricted, his face turning deathly pale. "You..." "Impossible. You can't fall in love with someone else that fast," he said, frantic. "You loved me for ten years." "So what?" I sneered. "You trampled on me for ten years." Hearing this, Bruno completely lost control and lunged, trying to drag me away by force.

Rosalie felt like countless needles were slowly but surely piercing her heart as she looked at the romantic line Bradley had written on the paper. It came from one of the most beloved tales of love in the Sandharan Order's lore. The story talked about how a man, before joining the monastery, had met a young woman on a bridge. He'd fallen for her at first sight, and the longing had consumed him until he'd wasted away. Sandhara had asked him, "How deep is your love for that woman?"

If my suspicion was correct, we were probably fenced with the sea or ocean, but it always sounded distant. I took a deep breath and stared at nothing in particular outside the window. What did Lucas mean when he said could have saved his own father but instead chose me? From the way he tried to kiss me, I had already guessed that he was in love with me. But if he claimed to have fallen in love with me the first time he saw me, how did he plan to kill someone he loved? And just when was the ‘first time' ? There were a lot of questions in my head, the sound of the door opening brought me out of my thoughts. One of the guards was by the door, “Miss Emily, I was asked to escort you to the living

Francis stated. When Francis noticed that Fay had stopped moving, he inquired, "Are you still going to touch? If not, we'll start taking martial arts seriously after you warm up a little." "No, I won't touch anymore." Fay pulled her hand away with a smile. "If I keep touching, your future wife will get jealous." "That's nonsense!," Francis muttered, casting an angry glance at Fay. “Where would I find a wife if I haven't yet met a girl I like? Furthermore, she doesn't deserve my love if she is concerned about such unimportant things."

“Know what?” Daisy shifted uncomfortably. Rosie finally said, “Princess Arielle and Prince Lucian…they are the most famous pair of unrequited lovers in our entire kingdom. Their love story is practically a legend. You know that popular tale ‘Aria and the Warrior’ that every girl reads? That story is based on them. She loved him. He loved her. The kingdom adored them. But fate kept them apart because of his curse. She was forced to marry prince Matthew. And now—” Rosie swallowed loudly.

Rather than sulking in this miserable room, I should walk around the city of love. I picked up my purse and walked out of the room happily like I was going for some big adventure to find gold. And maybe I was. But little did I know that this little adventure was going to be the beginning of a crazy love story…. A forbidden, but steamy love story between a step father and a step son.

Jasmine Ito – POV The truth was simple. And that was what made it hurt the most. John was the only man I had ever truly loved. Not admired. Not respected. Not chosen out of duty. Loved. My fingers trembled as I wiped at the tears slipping down my face, but they wouldn’t stop. They came faster now, warmer, heavier—each one carrying a memory I couldn’t outrun. That night. It replayed in fragments. The way his lips found mine—not hesitant, not rushed… just certain. Like he had been waiting for that moment longer than either of us wanted to admit.

The anecdotes flowed like a gentle stream, revealing the deep friendship they had cultivated amid academic pursuits and the forging of lifelong bonds. Larry, his voice carrying the weight of both joy and sacrifice, became the storyteller of their love story. He painted vivid pictures of their wedding day, a celebration marked by shared vows and promises that echoed through time. With a tenderness that resonated in every word, he shared the sacrifices he had willingly made to be by Sophia's side—a testament to the depth of their connection and the enduring commitment that defined their love.

She looked at the sky where the full moon was shining with its full glory and a small diamond-like star was adorning its beauty. "See the beauty of the moon it resembles you and I am a star beside you, they are so far from each other but when they are seen together they compliment each other so perfectly." "Just like us" Kriti completed his sentence. "Yeah we are far from each other but we complete each other perfectly, you can see that moon and star which I'm seeing, then how we are separate" he said bashfully. She chuckled at his childish reason and said," I love you, my sweet idiot"
