Read To _ love :: Chapter 5

"The trials sometimes, or often, is a person," Aurora said, her face reflecting a mix of astonishment and contemplation at the statement. Then, she continued, her awareness focused on Sid, "This sentence from your diary was enough to make me read it entirely, and also, there was, 'The whole thing pities me, and I stand staring at nothing, thinking that I dare to gaze with the same boldness on her ...' Sid, I would have truly fallen in love with you if I didn't find meaning in all of this. That's why I'm here."

Lynn smiled warmly at Aurora, then said, "Do you think we're going to discuss the diary here?"

Aurora laughed, saying, "I don't think so, of course. I believe you're here to confess your feelings and share them, or something of the sort?" Sid chuckled as well. Lynn spoke, pointing to Sid, "He's the one sharing his feelings here. I'm here to share my experience. We're relatives, if you will."

Sid quickly interjected, saying, "We'll soon become a couple." Lynn retorted, "In your dreams."

The atmosphere felt pleasant as the three conversed. As for Hector, he stood off to the side, observing them and wondering, "What a coincidence to use Aurora's name, isn't it?"

The crew began preparing the set for the filming of the episodes of the show "Buds."

The program consisted of live episodes, each comprising five segments, where participants shared their experiences with love and relationships. To participate in the program, individuals had to submit a diary detailing their connection to the person whose experience they would share. Simply put, Sid participated to allow Lynn the chance to share her love story. Then, two individuals would be selected to participate in the program after finding the diary. Aurora had already found the diary. As for Hector, he was forced to participate to learn something about love, relationships, and women, as there was an arranged marriage deal between him and the daughter of the Al Batris family, Aurora, who stood delicately before him, unaware that she was the one he would marry.

As for her, she knew well who he was. However, her desire to marry him or not remained invisible for now.

The place was being prepared, and everyone was getting ready for the filming of the program's opening segment before starting the recording of the episodes. So, everyone sat there waiting for the place to be set up. After that, the participants would also be prepared for filming the opening segment. Then, the participants would have to sit in the filming location throughout the program. The important rule was that everyone must stay in their place, and no one was allowed to sneak out for any reason. Being imprisoned smoothly and willingly was the worst kind of imprisonment, even if it was decorated with diamonds and paved with gold. Freedom was non-negotiable.

As for the masters of the game, they do not let away their freedom, even if it means shedding blood. And when it comes to blood, it should not disrupt relationships, no matter the nature of the relationship or the person involved. Even in darkness, there is a smooth path that the dwellers of shadows tread.
