My Heart only Beats for You

"I know, mom." Selina said in a hushed tone.

Her voice was a mixed bag of emotions.

"It's good that you do," replied Cecilia. "You're a grown woman. It won't do to be so fickle. Matthew is a good man, dependable, like your brother. You should hang on to someone like him."

Selina finished her cup of coffee with one swift gulp. She didn't want to hear this again.

She placed the empty cup on the table. "I know, mom. Where's Natalie?"

"She's gone to your brother's company. She was feeling bored being by herself at home, so she went with him." There was an underlining message to Cecilia's words and Selina felt it. "The two of them are so in love with other. For a couple to be in love like that, means they've both made the right choice in their partners. Otherwise they'd just have made a mess of their marriage. Who you choose is incredibly important. Do you understand what I'm saying, dear?"

Selina suddenly stood up. "I understand, I'm going to get some rest." There was a hint of bitterness in her voice.

The next day, Selina woke up in a cold sweat.

She had another nightmare.

It was about Dylan.

She was back in the hospital ward that Dylan was in as she was walking away. Only this time, she didn't look back. She didn't stop to see him behind her. She just left.

Dylan kept following after her, but then collapsed, all the blood drained from his body.

Then he died. Right in front of her.

Selina was attacked with an overwhelming sense of loss and grief.

She realized that if Dylan died, there wouldn't be any meaning left in life for her.

Faced with such a morbid reality, she awoke in a fright.

Thank goodness it was only a dream.

It wasn't real.

She steadied herself by placing a hand over her chest.

After cleaning herself up, she walked out of her room and happened to catch sight of Natalie and Tobias in a loving kiss.

Tobias was on his way to work, and they were giving each other a farewell kiss.

Even from a distance, she could feel the warm and sweet air the two lovebirds were radiating.
