q“He called. We fought.” Francesca felt rather uncomfortable when she thought of their last conversation. “He did not want to apologize properly and has his men come and persuade me. There was not a shred of sincerity in him.”
“What do you plan to do?” Layla asked.
“Plan?” Francesca was stumped by the question as she never considered it.
“Over the years, I have taught you many things. The only I did not teach you was how to deal with love. I had thought that you were still young, and it was still early. Before I was ready for it, you have turned twenty-one and already dating.”
Layla felt a little regretful lately and she was determined to pass on to Francesca everything she had learned throughout her life.
“Such a matter should take its own course.” Francesca did not mind.
“You are right to let it run its course, but knowing some principles will save you from many hassles.” Layla then straightened up. “You must first know what your heart wants, Francesca. Do you like Danrique or not? Do you know for sure that you want to be with him?”
“I like him.”
Francesca answered the first question without hesitation. However, she faltered at the second question.
“I have decided to be with him after mustering all my courage, but now he has unsevered ties with another woman. I have no way of being sure.”
“There are many uncertainties in the world,” Layla said gravely. “There is a saying in Zarain: God is always one step ahead of men. That is why we must learn to be strong and brave in the face of change.”
“Hmm.” Francesca listened attentively, though she could not empathize at that moment as it was something she had not yet experienced.
“Whether it is about feelings or some other matter, the first thing we face is making a choice to take the right path, then trudging forward bravely.
“Instead of allowing the slightest pitfall to get in the way, you must think of a solution in the face of difficulty. At the same time, defend yourself from the threat posed by other people.
