What will you choose?

“Oh my God! It’s so difficult. Do I really have to choose?” that’s one of our reactions when we are about to make decisions. Decisions are important. They are the basis of our tomorrow’s happenings. So whatever we are facing today, is the result of the decision we made yesterday. What if you regret after making a decision? Is it going to be too late to change the decision you have made? How about the person you love? Will you give up everything for him/her?

Here comes Danny. Danny’s parents separated. As a matter of fact he has a brother but is no longer w/ him. He is living w/ her mother while his older brother is living w/ their father. He was just 6 months young and his brother was 1 year young when their parents separated. He was supposedly living together w/ his brother but his father’s parents took his brother away from him.


18 years gone by. He does not think about his father and never did. He doesn’t even know his father’s name or address. All he thinks about is his beloved mother who brought him up well. Danny loved a girl named Carla. She was his first love. He was just 11 when he met Carla. Carla, on the other side, is a loving daughter. She loves her family so much. She does everything for her family and that’s why she doesn’t accept any suitors. Danny is aware that Carla doesn’t love him. But despite that , he still continued loving Carla. Danny knew Carla’s love. It was Dexter. Dexter is rich, handsome and tall. But those characteristics are nothing for Carla. Carla loved him because he was not boastful of what he has and that he is always good to Carla.

Dexter and Carla are always together. Danny felt jealous because he loved Carla so much. One day, he knew that Dexter proposed to Carla. He felt depressed because Carla isn’t supposed to accept any suitor as she told him. He planned something to take Carla away from Dexter. As Danny started doing his plan, Carla talked to him. She said, “Hey, Danny. What’s happening to you? You’re not the Danny I knew before! Is there any problem? “ No I don’t really have any problem. My problem is you. You have changed, Carla. You said you don’t love me because you don’t want to love anybody at this time. But why did you let Dexter propose to you? You know what, you’re so unfair! Carla answered. “ Hey what’s the problem with me?! Did I do something wrong? You already know that I don’t want to love. I didn’t allow Dexter to court me but he never listened and you that I can’t control anybody. It just happened that way. I’m sorry. I mean, you don’t care about what’s happening to me: You are just a suitor, not my boyfriend, “ Carla shouted.

Upon hearing the reply of Carla, Danny cried for the first time. He never expected that Carla would talk like that. And because of what Carla said, Danny became more aggressive. He continued on his plan, He met his friends. They planned to invite Carla into a party and invite Dexter into a basketball tournament. They did it that way to prevent them from being together. Danny was with Carla and Dexter was together with Danny’s friends. When Danny’s friends and Dexter came to the sports complex, they got him to a room and punch him on the different parts of his body. While Carla was with Danny, somebody called Danny, his mother. “Danny, I’ve found your father”, his mother said. “What?! Really?! Where is he? Where is brother?”, said Danny excitedly. “You’re brother watched a basketball tournament”, his mother answered. “what’s his name? I want to see him”, Danny asked. “just go with me to the complex”, his mother replied.

Danny, Carla and Danny’s mother went to the complex not knowing the scenery they will be seeing. When they arrived, people were gathered in a corner. Somebody was lying on the floor. Then Danny’s mother shouted, “who did this to your brother?!” then suddenly, a tear fell from his eye. The man lying on the floor, the man whom he hated so much, the man who took Carla, and the man who was attacked by his friend is his BROTHER! But it already happened. If Danny would tell the truth, Dexter would commit justice, as well as his parents, and Danny would not be with Carla anymore. But if he would choose to be with Carla, his brother’s case would be left unsolved. What would he choose? You, what would you choose, the person you love or the person you have been longing before?
