246: LET THE HEART DECIDE

ARIEL’S POV

“Look, Ariel, things have really been tough. We’ve faced a lot of obstacles, and we’ve gone through terrible times that almost caused us to die. I finally found love, that wonderful passion in all those moments.”

Luke held my hand, looking into my eyes. “Forget about everything else, and let your heart decide.”

I was still staring at him, speechless. Our hands were still together, and he didn’t take his eyes off me one bit.

“Luke, you need to calm down.

“What do I have to calm down for? I love you, Ariel. You love me; what are we waiting for? Or is there someone you’re afraid of? Is there someone threatening to end your life?”

“No, there’s no one.”

“So, why do you keep on wasting time?” What’s the need for hesitation?

“I don’t know, Luke. I just don’t feel like it right now. My mind keeps telling me that it would be a good idea to get back together with you.”

“So, you’re not going to do that? Your mind can’t be right all the time.”

“Yeah, I know. But I still don’t give a fuck.”

“Come on, Ariel, just…”

A group of musicians materialized, setting up their instruments at the other end of the park. They were dressed in colorful clothes and had a variety of instruments with them. A few children had already gathered around, their curious eyes fixed on the musicians.

“Ariel, life can get tough. I don’t know what’s going on in your mind, but please, you just have to return. I promise you, I’ll protect you. I won’t let anyone touch you or your daughter.”

“It’s not about protection, Luke.”

“I know, but I’m just making a promise to you.”

I took a deep breath and looked at him. “Luke, I can’t just forget everything and jump back into a relationship with you. It’s not that simple.”

“But we love each other, Ariel. That’s all that matters.‘
