章 138: My Beloved

My beloved Celeste Koa,

Hi, baby. I know that at this moment, you're crying and hurting deeply. I promised that I wouldn't make you cry anymore, but I repeatedly failed, so please forgive me.

Forgive me because I was a coward to face you. Forgive me because, in the end, my courage wasn't enough to fight for you and our child. I didn't know what to do. I didn't know how to tell you that I'm tired.

I'm so tired, but I don't want to give up. I don't want to die. I don't want to leave you, but I can't do anything.

When they told me that my memories would return soon, that was the sign that I would soon be gone. I wanted to tell you, my love. I wished to tell you because I wanted you to stay by my side until the end, but I felt like I was being too selfish. I couldn't bear to see you hurt and crying anymore.

Hi! How are you? I hope you’re doing well. I hope I gave this story a satisfying ending, and I hope you’re happy with what you read.

When I started writing this, I really didn't see Celeste and Arik ending up together in any way. It's either there's a big problem between them or one of them dies, and then I decided it would be Arik because of the turn of events. I just can't see Arik as the man for Celeste after he repeatedly hurt her, whether it was unintentional or intentional. Celeste loves Arik so much, but Arik's love for Celeste is not whole and concrete because of his family, because of himself. As you may notice, it's an open ending.

PS: Thank you so much for your gifts, comments, and for reading this story. I really appreciate all of you. Please, give this story a review. I want to read your reviews and thoughts after reading this. If I did a good job or not. It will help me to do even better.

Once again, thank you so much.
