Why love hurts so much?

"Honey ... This is for you," I said as I handed over a rose. I had prepared it. Roses are his favorite flower and mine too.

Redrick accepted the flower, "A fragrant and beautiful flower, just like you," he replied with a smile.

Seeing that smile, my resolve crumbled, in a romantic moment like this, I wasn't prepared to discuss that, "hahaha!" I laughed amusedly. I actually wanted to cry, but I held it back as much as possible. "But roses are thorny flowers," I said.

"Since roses are such beautiful flowers, the thorns are to protect them," Redrick replied, looking at me.

I looked down, "but still, the thorns on the rose could hurt your hand," I said again while holding up his hand.

"I'm a thorn, how could I hurt myself," Redrick joked at me. "I'll protect you, just like the thorns protect the rose," he added.

I, who had been looking down, immediately raised my head, "my husband ...." I said softly while looking deeply into his eyes.

I, who had been looking down, immediately raised my head, "Redrick ...." I said softly while looking deeply into his eyes.

"Pffft," Redrick laughed while stroking my head, "you're cute and ...," his words stopped abruptly.

"And ...?" I asked curiously.

"And kind," he said as he returned my gaze with a deeper one, "baby... I want to tell you something, I ...."

I couldn't bear to hear it. I knew what Redrick was going to tell me, he wanted to talk about Vienna. I realized that I still wasn't ready to hear it.

To get him to stop talking about it, I tried to change the direction of our conversation.

"Oh yeah what do you want to eat today, I'll cook something delicious!" I immediately cut off the conversation.

Redrick seemed to flinch. I hoped he would stop talking about her. "Please don't talk about that woman," I wished silently.

"Why are you being quiet now? Just tell me what you want to eat, I'm the chef today," I said as I put a thumbs up in front of his face.

Hearing that, Redrick chuckled, "hahaha!"

"Are you teasing me!" I pouted.

"Yeah-yes, I've stopped, don't get mad yet, but .... "

"But what?" I asked curiously.

I silently looked at him. I wished that time stopped here, where Redrick and I could laugh happily together. Although I knew that this romantic atmosphere was his way of persuading me to agree to his wishes, I didn't mind.

"You? Cook?" he teased.

My reverie was interrupted when he teased me again. "You're doubting me!" I replied confidently.

"No! I dare not!" He said as he shook his head and hands.

"I remember the last time you cooked and burnt eee ...."

"You, you're teasing me again!" I interrupted with a sulking look on my face.

"Yeah ... okay, I'm sorry baby," he replied with a chuckle.

"I'll cook first, honey," I said as I walked away. I didn't want to talk about what he said a few days ago. I couldn't.

Not long after, Redrick suddenly walked in with a strange expression and hugged me.

"Sweetheart ...." Redrick called me in a strange tone.

Deg!

Can't I avoid this? I thought.

"Naina, please let me marry Vienna ...."

Jdeeer!

Again, he broke my heart.

The happy atmosphere between the two of us instantly turned into silence. I was speechless, how was I going to answer this question? My mind was in turmoil.

My eyes that were once filled with love were now filled with sadness. His decision still hasn't changed? I really couldn't think of anything. It turned out that Vienna still filled his heart completely.

My heart ached, my chest felt tight. I felt as if I had fallen into deep darkness. Redrick didn't change his decision. He still wanted to marry Vienna, the woman he had loved for so long.

I wanted to cry and be angry, but I restrained myself.

I silently answered his words, "If I forbid you, will you obey?" I asked with tears in my eyes.

"Naina ...." Redrick's words sounded very soft. There was guilt on his face.

"Does she feel guilty about me now?" I muttered to myself.

Looks like I saw it wrong? I thought. She even had the heart to talk about it when we were laughing happily. Apparently everything that happened was planned from the beginning.

"Please don't be like this Naina," Redrick said in a sad voice. As if I was the one at fault here. A bitter taste came over me. My heart was full of the wounds it kept making. I smiled at the wound, "Yes .... I'll let you marry him, but our relationship ends here!" I replied disappointed.

Because I could no longer avoid it. I allowed Redrick, my lover to marry Vienna, his love. Of course I asked for a breakup because he had already chosen Vienna, but Redrick refused.

"No way!" He shouted angrily.

"Since you chose her, can't you let me go? Redrick I'm suffering so much, do you know that!" I moaned with a wet face, full of tears.

Hearing my answer just now, there was a surprised look on Redrick's face. "Na ...."

"Yes, I allowed it," I cut him off as he was about to call my name. I couldn't bear to hear him call my name.

I ran to the room after agreeing to his wish to marry Vienna. I couldn't.

I allowed Redrick to marry the woman he loved. I knew that if I did, I would be broken, I would be in pain, and I would suffer greatly.

But I had no other choice. How could I stand in the way of someone else's happiness.

"Looks like I still can't get into your heart," I whimpered in pain.

Redrick loves her so much, I don't understand why he chose me as his future wife back then. And not the woman he loved. "Why did you choose me first, wouldn't it be better for you to choose her instead!"

Even though he chose me, in the end Redrick still wanted to marry her. I couldn't be angry, because I was the one who had stolen his love in the first place. "You know ..., I love you so much! I love you so much! Do our three years together mean nothing to you," I shouted to myself.

This love made me feel so miserable.
