Taboo Romance

chapter 19 : inner struggle

Every day and every night, Neri found herself locked in a battle with her thoughts, the scene from the restaurant playing over and over in her mind like a broken record. No matter how hard she tried to push it aside, the image of Red with another woman haunted her, casting a shadow over her every waking moment and infiltrating her dreams at night.

Neri (whispering to herself): Why did he do it? What does she have that I don't?

The torment of unanswered questions weighed heavily on Neri's heart, leaving her feeling lost and betrayed.

Neri: (sighs deeply) I can't keep living like this, in this constant state of uncertainty and pain. I need to confront Red and demand answers.

But even as she resolved to seek the truth, Neri couldn't shake the fear that her worst fears would be confirmed. The thought of facing the reality of Red's betrayal filled her with dread, yet she knew she couldn't continue to bury her feelings and pretend that everything was okay.

As she went about her daily routine, Neri struggled to focus, her mind consumed by doubts and fears. Was Red seeing someone else? Had he lost interest in their relationship? The questions swirled around her like a whirlwind, leaving her feeling lost and alone.

At night, as she lay in bed, sleep eluded her, her mind restless with worry. She tossed and turned, unable to escape the relentless barrage of thoughts that threatened to overwhelm her. The darkness seemed to press in on her from all sides, suffocating her with its weight.

Neri (whispering to herself): How could he do this to me? What did I do wrong?

The darkness of the room offered no answers, only amplifying Neri's sense of isolation and despair.

Neri: (sighs deeply) I need to talk to him... I can't keep pretending everything's okay.

But even as she resolved to confront Red, a part of her feared what she might discover. The uncertainty gnawed at her, leaving her feeling more lost and alone than ever before.

Despite her best efforts to push the thoughts away, they lingered, a constant presence in the back of her mind. Neri felt like she was drowning in a sea of uncertainty, unable to find solid ground to stand on.

With each passing day, the burden of her inner struggle grew heavier, weighing down her heart and sapping her strength. She longed for clarity, for answers to the questions that tormented her, but they remained frustratingly out of reach.

Amid her turmoil, Neri clung to the flicker of hope that still burned within her. She refused to give up on Red or their relationship, holding onto the belief that they could find a way through the storm together.

As Neri grappled with her inner turmoil, a flicker of hope remained alive within her, despite the darkness that surrounded her.

Neri: "I know things seem uncertain right now, but I refuse to give up on us, Red. We've faced challenges before, and we've always come out stronger on the other side. I believe in our love, and I believe we can find a way through this storm together."

Her voice trembled with emotion, but her resolve was unwavering as she spoke.

Neri: "I know it won't be easy, but I'm willing to fight for us, for our relationship. As long as we have each other, I believe we can overcome anything."

But as the days turned into weeks and the weeks into months, the doubts continued to gnaw at her, eroding her confidence and testing the limits of her resolve. Neri knew that she couldn't ignore the truth forever, but the thought of confronting Red filled her with a sense of dread.
