Novel & Cerita We Can Be Mended

I can find a way to bridge the gap. To bring them back to each other. To fix what was broken.

When things got broken, we fix it, when a torn paper we buy a new one, when it already cannot be used, we replace it, we can all do something for everything, all our mess can always do something about it, but in reality, in people's lives, not all broken can be repaired over a night, especially if it is a broken soul...a damage heart and mind.

Not finding a word to say at the moment. “There are some things that can't be amended, like a broken glass or plate can’t be fixed, a shredded piece of paper can’t be fixed except by being torn off slightly, a worn out clothes can’t return to their old sparkling color, and lastly, a broken heart that’s filled with anger and hatred can never be clouded with love and concern. You failed your sister Emilia, so it will take you a while to be on her good terms again,” Beta Lucky said before walking past her. Heading up to his room. What he just said was the pure truth. Not everything can be fixed or repaired, especially when it involves the heart.

he shrugged. She knew how rejection felt like but here is a man who helped her recover from her insecurities and gave her the courage to love again facing his own share of such disease. She wanted to make him get over his past the same manner he helped her. They approached a little glasshouse, her curiosity piqued, "Oh my... Is that a..?" He answered her question before she completes it. "A greenhouse, no one comes here anymore except the gardeners who take care of the flowers."

Yourself, body and soul. A broken heart loves deeper once mended. A mended heart knows real love is worth the price of shattering once more

And this time, I meant every word. Carefully, I slid the ring onto her finger, sealing the vow I should never have broken. I pulled her into my arms and kissed her, holding her tightly as if letting go was no longer an option. Our children rushed forward, wrapping us in a tight group hug, their laughter echoing around us. In that moment, surrounded by love, warmth, and the family we had rebuilt, I knew one thing for certain. We had found our way back. And this time, nothing was going to tear us apart again.

Made diminishment survivable. "We're different now," I said. First network gathering after release. Everyone present. Everyone changed. Everyone healing. "We're less than we were. Wounded. Diminished. Changed. But also we're ourselves again. Pure ourselves. Authentic ourselves. Real ourselves. And we've done something important. Something right. Something necessary. We've restored those we violated. Given them wholeness. Made amends. That matters. That's everything." "What do we do now?" someone asked. Practical question. Future question. Moving-forward question.

I can smell the power of the moon, and I know that what he's saying is true. I turn to Adam and smile, relieved to know that we can finally begin to heal. "This is the perfect place for us," I say. "We'll be able to heal faster, and we'll be safe from any more attacks." Adam looks at me, and I can see hope in his eyes. "You're right," he says. "We can start over here. We can rebuild our strength."

But you will both always know where it frayed.” Naomi’s gaze slides to me. “If she lets you,” she repeats quietly. I nod, throat too tight to keep arguing. Hours blur.

I rested my head against and listened to his heartbeat. Steady, Strong, Ours. We were not the same people who had once walked into that hotel carrying fear, fantasy, and desperation. We had been searching for something outside ourselves because we didn't know how to reach each other anymore. Now we did. We had become architects of our own repair. We had taken the ruins of that night and, instead of burying them, we built something honest on top of them. Something small. Something strong. Something real. Not a monument to passion. A monument to resilience. And that felt like the truest ending of all.
