"To the man I thought I could have, but I couldn't."
**********
Karim was the man I met in Wisteria City, in a foreign Wisterian country. I thought he was just a normal person, but he turned out to be an army officer from an enemy country. Who would have known that this man was destined to be the future Prime Minister of his nation? Our worlds collided in a twist of fate, filled with passion, conflict, and the ultimate test of loyalty and love.
We stood on the balcony, the city lights twinkling below us. I turned to Karim, my voice trembling. "So we're over?"
He sighed, his eyes filled with pain. "No, you and I will never be over."
"How can I trust you now?" I whispered, feeling the weight of the future.
Karim stepped closer, his hand reaching out to touch mine. "Because my feelings for you are real. Despite the borders and politics, what we have is genuine."
I pulled away, tears streaming down my face. "It's not that simple, Karim. You're an officer from an enemy country. We both know this can't work."
He looked at me with a mixture of grief and determination. "I'll fight for us, Kristen. As much as I care about the politics, I care about you more."
A sad smile tugged at my lips. "You say that now, but what about when you're Prime Minister? Can you promise me we'll still matter then?"
Karim took my hand, his grip firm yet gentle. "I promise, I'll do everything in my power to make it work. You're worth it."
Despite the turmoil, a part of me wanted to believe him. "You're a smooth talker, you know that?"
He chuckled softly, a glimmer of his old charm returning. "Only for you, Princess."
We stood there, locked in a moment that was as beautiful as it was heartbreaking, knowing that the path ahead was fraught with uncertainty but unable to let go of the connection we had found.
**********
Will Karim be able to balance his love for Kristen with his political ambitions?
Can Kristen overcome the boundaries set by their countries and find a way to be with Karim?
What will happen when their secret relationship is exposed to the public?
How will they navigate the challenges posed by their conflicting loyalties?
Will their love survive the ultimate test of duty and destiny?

The Duty and The Destiny

The warm water cascaded over us, a gentle stream that washed away the remnants of the night, leaving behind a sense of calm and renewal.

Karim stood close to me, the steam curling around his broad shoulders, the heat from the shower mingling with the warmth of his body. I felt a mixture of nervousness and contentment as we shared this new, intimate experience.

As the water flowed over us, I caught a glimpse of the scars on his side again, those silent reminders of the battles he had fought. My heart ached at the sight, and without thinking, I reached out, tracing the marks with gentle fingers.

The rough texture under my touch sent a wave of emotion through me... love, admiration, and a deep sense of protectiveness.

Karim noticed my gaze, and a small, almost shy smile tugged at the corner of his lips. "They don't hurt anymore," he said softly, as if trying to ease my concern.

I shook my head, meeting his eyes. "It's not about the pain," I murmured.
