“I saw that you were perfect, and so I loved you. Then I saw that you were not perfect and I loved you even more.” —Angelita Lim Jade p.o.v Flash back.. " Tristen I love you " I smiled and then my smile faded as I groaned in frustration . This is the 50th time I tried telling I love you to the mirror and every time I felt like a fool . How am I supposed to tell him that I love him when I can't say it properly in front of the mirror? I sigh and sat on the bed feeling stupid . I shook my head ," no Jade you can't give up . You need to tell him the truth " I stood up determined and went to open my closet and pick the most beautiful dress I have and wore it . I curl my hair and put light makeup and blush my cheeks slightly . I giggle happily to look at my reflection . " I am excited to see Tristen's reaction " I smiled happily and went to his home happily. I bought roses and walked toward his home . He was pacing in his garden worriedly but as soon as his eyes fell on me , A wide
True love - that is, deep, abiding love that is impervious to emotional whims or fancy - is a choice. It's a constant commitment to a person regardless of the present circumstances.Jade p.o.vTristen words rang inside of my mind ……Flash backJennifer left me four years ago or I dumped her when I got to know that she was cheating on me with one of my best friends. I saw her making out with my friend inside the bathroom ". I gasped at his revelation oh my God”“ But she came back to me again but when I didn’t accept her she married a man who is 30 years older than her only for money, status ". He continued."I- I am sorry Tristen" Tears are burning my eyes and warning me to come down from my eyes. I know he loves her a lot but how can she do this to him? Flash back end I could see her fuming , my eyelid let down a little to see her fist clench so tightly that her knuckles turned white .Alex , her mother, everyone was quite taken aback by my question ."

So take care of your daughters and know that each is a blessing in full measure Jade p.o.v Another morning and I had nothing to do since Alex was my project. I had no motivation to go to work . Why would I …. He is going to torture me again and today I have no mood to see his nonsense behaviour. Laying on my bed …..I thought of doing some skin care . Jumping from here and there I put black face mask . I laid on the bed….just humming pleasantly just then I heard my bell rang… Mary had an off day , groaning. I got up , went downstairs and just when I opened the big wooden main door Alex was standing with some file in his hand. He look at me I look at them Boom! "…" a loud girl scream erupted from his throat and I couldn't help but scream in fear too . " WHAT THE HELL WRONG WITH YOU !" I scream at the top of
It's important with a new love that we have made the effort to fully heal first, to do the inner work that is required to become a whole person once more. Otherwise we put upon the new love the "crimes" of the ones who came before. We are all unique. All born into our era, our family, our body. We can only be ourselves and accountable for ourselves. And this is all the more apparent when we fall in love, when we need to see the new person as they truly are, no filter, no expectations, only acceptance, loving them always and in all weathers Jade p.o.v Alex is standing in front of me wearing an angry look , we both drench in water as the water is still pouring on us from the tap . " Umm.... look the water is coming out" I tried to show him the positive thing that at least the water is coming now . " Yeah I can see that too , now closed it " He gritted his teeth in anger. I nodded and tried to fix it but damn after a few struggles , I was finally able to stop the water. I smiled bri
In a world of endemic sickness, where cruelty is the cause and love the antidote, the patients declare themselves doctors and seal the fate of the world. By Angela Abraham, Jade p.o v We entered an elegant restaurant. The interior was superb, better than I planned for Gulmohar Grand. " Why are we here? " I asked him while looking around . He dug his hand in his pocket looking here and there " my friends want to meet you " He said, still searching for his friend. " They said they couldn't meet you at the wedding so ...." His words faded... As he searches for them from his eyes . Suddenly a waitress came our way …. " Mr and Mrs Rider? " she asked and Alex nodded . I was looking around admiring the Beauty but immediately felt annoyed as the girl in front of us drooling over him , she was giving him a seductive look . Her top buttons are also opening which irritates the hell out of me . I immediately put my hand around his arm , showing them that he has company. Alex gave m
Jade p.o.v I bit my lip, eyes everywhere but on Alex. Then he moves closer with those eyes that look so deeply into my own, " what happened….. I am just playing when you start ." He winked and breathing became softer, though there was a disappointing dip inside my heart thinking what he just said was fake but the pensive look melting into a smile as soft as the morning light I couldn't ignore it . My body squirms just a little as my muscles relax. There is something about that gaze of his that I 'll never find in another man, as if in that moment their souls have made a bridge. " Anyway enough of this, tell me Jade, how did he propose to you because as far as I know Alex is a very unromantic guy, " the guy teased him . " Umm…he…." I had no words no story in my head " Please don't tell me he just asked you to marry him like a deal classic Alex " they all laugh . " No of course not…" I stopped. I didn't like the way they were continuing trying to tell me that he is boring . " It's
Jade p.o.v Take a deep breath Jade , Take a deep breath.. Right now I am standing in front of Alex's parents house. I came here to meet Angel but I don't know what to do and I am very scared what if I worse things more than before and I don't even know if she like me or hate me just like Alex... oh my God how I am going to handle but I have to do this for Angel she deserves her father's love .... I took a deep breath and pressed the doorbell. A woman in her midlife greeted me with a smile . " Ohh Mrs Jade please welcome , I will tell Mrs Rider that you came please wait in the living room " She left making me wonder how does she knows me I didn't saw her that night or wait I am Alex wife and she work here of course she knows me …… okay calm down Jade you are just blabbering no sense ….. I went inside and waited for Mrs Rider , just then I saw Mrs Rider, the most beautiful woman at this age , she must have taken good care of her skin. I need to take some tips … Focus Jade Focus …!!!
Beauty is formed each day with each micro-choice for love over emotional indifferenceJade p.o.v" Who needs these ?" Alex eyed my diet free cornflakes .I gasped and held the box close to my chest ." That's a woman's secret of beauty " I whispered like it was some magic .He stared at my face without blinking " after shopping from here we are taking you to a mental hospital " with which he pushed the trolley walking ahead ." Meany !" I mutter, narrowing my eyes .Right now we are at Walmart. Alex's parents are coming for dinner though I didn't tell him this but somehow convinced his crackhead to come with me since I am his wife and responsibility .Please don't get me started about this ..Apparently I heard he is some guy who held morals and principles in his top priority list .Shocker? I know ! And since then somehow I manipulate him again and again .Hahahaha evil laugh …. " What the hell are those now ??" He asked when I picked up bittergourd .." It's bittergourd good for

Love is sweet, yet more as fresh fruit than candy or confectionery. Love is colourful, yet more as summer blooms than the neon lights of frenetic city streets. Love is steady and forgiving, yet more as the wise mother than the servant in chains. Love hears and speaks with the wisdom of the heart, with a sense of the soul of the other.

There is a quiet kind of "cheerful," the soft kind that comes as a quiet river on a sunny day. It is a way of being that allows others a positive space to open up into, a space that is ready to support their emotions and needs. There is of course a time and place for the loud kind of cheerful, yet here in the hospital it can have the effect of closing people down - after all it is challenging to express sad feelings to a person who appears so far removed from those emotions.By Angela AbrahamIf you haven't prayed your Salah please pray this book can wait but your salah can'tHappy reading….Shireen p.o.v" Assalamualaikum I am Noor " Meerab sister said with a warm smile ."

Pain is a chance to become more empathic, more sensitive to others in pain. Problems are an opportunity to innovate. In isolation we can think and let the creative mind spin new ideas. In unfulfilled expectations we can learn patience and understanding. In grief we can learn to cherish the gift of life each day. We can use our pain and fear to mature the mind and develop the soul. For how can the soul dance if it is hiding in the shadows? Thus, only the brave of heart can know true happiness. So, be bold, my love. Meet life as an equal.

Guilt is a matter of balance. When you need to feel guilty it will show you how to become a better person, less rotten, more healthy. When you go too far with guilt it becomes like a heavy bag you were supposed to put down once you'd learned whatever it came to teach you. Forgiving yourself is necessary to enable further personal growth. This is being human. This is how we are wired.By Angela Abraham, If you haven't prayed your Salah please pray this book can wait but your salah can'tThird person p.o.v" Saad , Meerab thought about this, you guys don't have to leave this house.
