Marriage Proposal
Louis had been planning this proposal for years. He worked hard on the hospital, taking all the available overtime, just to save up enough money to take his girlfriend to Paris for a romantic getaway. He wanted to make the proposal as memorable as possible.
When the two of them arrived in Paris and left the luggage at the hotel, they began exploring the city. With each step, nervousness increased in his chest. He had been telling himself that he was ready to propose, but now that the moment was approaching, he felt his heart pounding and his stomach full of butterflies.
Finally, they arrived at the enchanting Eiffel Tower, the most romantic place on Earth. When they approached the base of the tower, he looked at the exuberant girl by his side and knew that this was the ideal moment: he took a deep breath, fell to his knees on the floor, and looked in love at her:
"My dear, I've been thinking about this for a long time, and I'm ready to ask you something," he said, pulling out the beautiful diamond ring he had bought for her. Will you marry me?"
The girlfriend was taken aback. She was completely unprepared for the proposal and looked at Louis with shock. After a few moments of dreadful silence, she finally spoke:
"Louis, I'm sorry... but I can't marry you. You know I can't. I'm not ready for... for this whole ordeal. I'm not sure if I love you enough to live my whole life with you, and only you, forever. I just wanted to..." she stopped talking, shook her head, and started to ran away, crying.
Louis was stunned. He stood there, in his knees, feeling his heart sink. Everyone around started to look weirdly at him, and he felt ashamed. Tears began to fill his eyes as he watched the love of his life running away from him, to never come back.
Suddenly, a heavy rain started to fall. Just a few moments before the sky was bright clear, but now it was full of dark grey clouds crying huge drops of water. It seemed like the Gods were in agreement with his girlfriend's decision. He stood in the rain for a few minutes, feeling completely alone and lost.
He eventually turned away from the Eiffel Tower, and slowly walked to the nearest pub. He heard that Alcohol is a great partner during the grief, and his dreams has just been murdered for good.

I feel sorry him to see the love of his life running away from him, sometimes will come that what you wish to have can never be yours no matter how hard you tried, Taking alcohol is the best option at the moment but alcohol is not going to solve the heartbreak, sometimes we need to let go even when it what you cherish most
Indeed, you're right: not everything we wish we can actually have!

Que história de amor linda e emocionante! Fico feliz em ver que ainda existem pessoas que acreditam no amor verdadeiro e são corajosas o suficiente para tomar a iniciativa de fazer uma proposta de casamento criativa e romântica. Desejo ao casal muitas felicidades e uma vida repleta de amor e companheirismo. Afinal, o amor é a base de qualquer relacionamento duradouro e feliz!
O pior que, ultimamente, tô me achando meio piegas kkkkkkk Quase todas minhas histórias aqui na Hive tem amor não correspondido hahaha

What a disappointment! Well, Louis should know that life is not sympathetic all the time. He must carry on with his life and look for another life partner.

Ouch..... I guess it wasn't all going to be a sweet read for me all the time 😢
I'm just wondering how it would have been for Louis 😢.
Alcohol alone can't even solve this problem 😢😢
May God help me in my day of proposal not to get humiliated like this not to talk of the great effort he put in order to see this Engagement a successful one
Alcohol won't solve the problem, but at least can make he forget it... for a while...

Ouch. Nothing like putting effort into something and seeing it come to naught. I wonder what's the reason behind her tears though? Is it that she didn't want to marry him or she wasn't ready. I wish I knew her pov. Quite a wonderful read though. It's shouldn't always be roses and tulips. A little heartbreak is good.🌺
I'm glad that you enjoyed the read <3

A really romantic proposal from Louis, too bad his girlfriend rejected it. The pain and embarrassment is unbearable.
Oops, it's a shame Louis' girlfriend couldn't say yes, I think it's bad for anyone to do that to a person, why date them when you don't have enough love to live with them forever if the question is someday popped? I feel his pains though and I wish he heals quickly. It's fiction but things like this happen in reality.
Oh, what a disappointment, he will find someone who loves him enough. Nice read.
He saved for years, she went with him to Paris but it is a no. I'm curious to knkw why.
Thanks for joining pic1000👌
Thank YOU for the prompts every week!!

Heartbreak is a thing of sorrow after planning to spend his lifetime with the love of his life
