The Love From Vengeance

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.‘

Before I could respond, the musicians started playing their instruments, and a beautiful

melody filled the park. The children’s attention was captured, and they all ran towards the

musicians, dancing and clapping along to the music. Janice was among them, relishing the

moment.

Luke and I couldn’t help but smile at the sight. The atmosphere had suddenly changed,

and it was as if all our worries and problems had disappeared. The music was so

enchanting I couldn’t resist swaying to the beat.

“Come on, Ariel,” Luke said, standing up and extending his hand toward me. Let’s dance.”

I hesitated momentarily, but then I looked into his eyes and saw their sincerity and love.

Still, I didn’t want to dance.

“What are you waiting for? Let’s dance,” he told me, his hand still extended towards me.

“I’m not in the mood.”

“You don’t have to be in the mood, sweetheart.”

“Oh really?”

“Yes,” he replied. “But if that’s the case, I’ll put you in the mood.”

“How?”

“Just take my hand.”

I hesitated for a moment, but I finally took his hand, and he pulled me closer to him.

“See, Ariel. We’ll be about to have a wonderful time.”

“I never had such a great moment with you before.”

“That’s why we’re about to enjoy ourselves,” he said as we continued to sway to the

music.

“Ouch,” he said after I stepped on his foot.

“I’m sorry.” I apologized.

“Why are you saying sorry?”

“Because I hurt you,” I responded.

“No, you didn’t.” He grinned.

“Oh, is that so?”

“But you’re going to hurt met you refuse to come back to me

youtrete

I couldn’t help but laugh. “I see what you’re trying to do here.”

“I wasn’t hiding anything. I want you.”

As we danced, the musicians moved from one song to another, and the chisteen

continued to dance and sing along. At that moment, i forgot about all the pair and hurt

Luke had caused me. I just focused on the present, the music, and his countenance. Have

I ever mentioned that he has a ravishing visage? I guess not, well, he does.

“You want to know something, Ariel? I never thought I could feel this way toward you. You

remembered how I used to hate you, right?”

“Yes, there’s no way I’m going to forget that.”

“I’m sorry for everything, Ariel. I know I hurt you, and I regret it every day. But I promise to

make it up to you and never let you go.”

“You’ve made so many apologies concerning this. And I’ve forgiven you, alright?

“Then why are you wasting time?”

“That I have no answer to. But you just have to know that I’m not ready to get back to

you.”

“Can I ask you a question?”

“Go on.”

“Do you plan on getting into a relationship? Or do you just want to keep on living your life

like this?”

“That I do not know. Let’s just see what the future holds.”

The music continued to play, and we danced, enjoying the wonderful tunes. I had no idea

who these guys were, but they came to bring joy to everyone’s hearts. Simply consider

the manner in which that lovely daughter of mine is beaming that grin. It’s so nice to see

her happy.

The songs finally came to an end, and the musicians packed their instruments. before

leaving.

Luke still had a hold of me as my hands were wrapped around his neck. No words. were

spoken, just a gaze that spoke a billion things, and passion was included.

“Mommy, Daddy!” Janice ran to us. “Thank you so much for today.”

Luke and I quickly let go of each other.

My pleasure, sweetheart,” Lake told her, smiling down at her.

A magician was performing tricks for a group of kids as we were about to leave the park,

which caught Janice’s attention. She tugged on my arm excitedly. Mommy, can we go and

top hat and a long, flowing cape, giving off a mysterious aura. Janice squeezed in between

us, her eyes wide with anticipation.

“Welcome, my dear audience, to a world of wonder and enchantment,” the magician

announced, his voice commanding attention. “Prepare to be amazed and mesmerized by

my magical abilities.”

He began his performance by pulling out colorful scarves and making them disappear,

producing coins out of thin air, and even turning a simple

handkerchief into a dove. Janice was in awe, clapping and cheering after every

trick.

But what caught my attention were the magician’s words. He spoke of magic as if it were

real as if he truly had the power to make the impossible possible. It reminded me of the

songs we had just heard, with lyrics filled with magic and fantasy. Love and passion.

I looked at Luke, and he gave me a knowing smile. We both knew that Janice was too

young to understand the difference between reality and fantasy, but it didn’t matter at

that moment. She was enjoying herself, caught up in the magic of it all.
