Novel & Cerita Marriage Before Love

“Yes, it would seem so. I believe there is only one reason why he would choose me, even after all these years.” I looked at him expectantly, urging him to continue. “He knew my feelings on marriage. You see, when we were young we used to go to all of the balls during society season. I’m not surprised your Father didn’t continue to attend them after he married your Mother, he hated the retched things. One Spring we ran into Mary, Lady Leven. She was stunning, the most beautiful creature that I had ever seen. The problem was she was below my status and my Father did not want us to marry. I fought his decision of course, so did your Father. It took 3 years or me refusing matches, refusing balls

'But now, since you cannot remember still, maybe I should reveal to you how we met'! I stared at him with my mouth wide open, wondering what he was going to sprout. I couldn't recall meeting him before my birthday. I also knew what he would say if I told him I didn't love him irrespective of when we met. I didn't believe that I could develop such love for him after marriage, like he had once suggested. If my marriage that started with the kind of love and passion that mine started with failed, how much more faster would one based on one sided love fail! But this thing about meeting me before that fateful day, was it really true? I wanted to hear how it happened, so I prepared myself to be su

There was no courtship, no dating, no love before marriage, and no hope for the future of our marriage, we just ventured into it, to get what we want and when it is time to leave, we will get divorced and that will be the end of our relationship. I would call our relationship backward love because of how it started. We started by making a baby, getting married, and falling in love, instead of falling in love, getting married, and making babies. I remember everything now, as well as what and how the accident happened. I don't need to ask any questions to know who is behind it. I heard his name the first time I woke up and his face appeared before me smiling wickedly, I knew instantly that he

I used every skill I had to carve out his future, and once he stood in the spotlight, I quietly stepped back, happy to be the silent support behind the curtain, tending to our kitchen, building our small home. I believed love could be earned through devotion. But all I did was feed his arrogance and deepen his disregard for me. Only now, standing amid the ruins, do I finally understand what marriage really is. Marriage can’t fix the absence of love. And only those who don’t lack love within themselves are able to give and receive it. You have to be whole on your own before you can share a beautiful life with someone else. Just as I was drifting toward sleep, someone knocked at the door.

But i bought it. I headed to my room, no our room and placed the shopping bag as visible to her. And i lay on couch. When i closed my eyes, i heared the sounds again, anklets sounds deep wind and again, "I love you sid... " "You are officially now married " Why these sentence again come to my mind. The moments before my marriage flashing on me, "I cant just marry like that. I was once married to my love but he was died at the same day without spending anytime with me.. i am bad. I will give bad luck to you too " she cried.

“I know. But we’re still young. We hardly know each other. I just want us both to be free — not trapped by expectations. It’s only a precaution.” I hesitated. My heart raced. Something about it didn’t sit right, but he took my hand gently. “Trust me,” he said, his voice smooth. “It’s only a formality. We’ll probably laugh about it someday.” And I — foolish, desperate to prove I trusted him — signed it that night. We both did. We agreed never to tell anyone, not even our parents. We married six months later in a colorful wedding, and our first year together brimmed with joy. But then, almost imperceptibly, we began to grow apart. Tom no longer found time for me. The petting, the laughter, the

I replied. "Even If she appears in front of me at any time in the future, I will tell her that I had feelings for her before marrying my wife. I loved her before the wedding. Now I'm married to you. I will be loyal to you. I can't say that I love you. It will take time for me to fall in love with you. As you are married to me, you are tied to me for the lifetime. There is no escape from here." I continued.

“It was meant to be temporary. A transaction. One that, at the time, served its purpose. I did it for reasons that now seem small and cowardly.” He turned to Valeria, the cool edge in his voice softening. “But what started as an arrangement changed. Because she changed me.” He faced the room again. “I fell in love with her. And now I am proud — genuinely proud — to say that I am married to Valeria Mendoza, not out of obligation or strategy… but by choice. By love.” A hush fell over the room. Valeria’s breath caught. No script. No rehearsed PR moment. Just truth — raw and public.

"So you have no idea at all about getting married?" Silent again. She looked at me and smiled. Then she kissed my cheek. She didn't answer. What does it mean? Does she not intend to marry me? "Show me why I should marry you," she said. I furrowed my brow. "Citra, if you really want to marry me, then we should get married because you love me and want to live with me," I explained. I saw Citra. She looked thoughtful, her gaze was blank. Then her face turned back to normal. Looks like it's hiding something. I dumped too many women before. Is this part of my karma? I exhaled heavily.

She laughed when she heard what I said, “Are you kidding me right now, Andri? There’s no way that you can stay single forever. Whether you like it or not, you will find someone who you will love and will get marry.” “How can you be so sure that I will marry a man? I really don’t want to get marry. Having a family is a pain in the ass and I don’t want a hard life after I graduate in college. I just want to work until I die. I will only love myself.” “Well, you could say that for now. But don’t be so sure because time flies and your decisions can change anytime.”
