Desperate love

Love that is forbidden

By VivioletPublished 2 years ago 3 min read

The year is 2042. The world is a very different place than it was just a few decades ago. Climate change has ravaged the planet, and many major cities have been abandoned. In this new world, love is a rare and precious thing.

In a small village in the mountains, two young people named Anya and Ben fall in love. Even though they are from different worlds, but they are drawn to each other by their shared love of nature and their hope for a better future. Their visions for the future were one.

Anya is the daughter of a wealthy merchant. She is educated and refined, but she is also kind and compassionate. Ben, on the other hand, is a peasant, but he is strong and resourceful. He is also a gifted musician.

The two of them meet in the forest one day. They are both drawn to the beauty of the natural world, and they quickly fall into conversation and share a lot of stories to each other. They talk for hours, and they find that they have a lot in common and they promise to meet each other again.

They start meeting in secret, knowing that their love is forbidden. Anya's family would never approve of her being with a peasant, and Ben knows that he could be punished if their relationship is discovered.

However, they cannot help themselves. They are drawn to each other like magnets and keeps falling deeper for each other. They spend their days together, exploring the forest and talking about their dreams for the future.

One day, Anya's family discovers her relationship with Ben. They are furious, and they force Anya to marry a wealthy suitor. Ben is heartbroken, but he knows that he cannot fight against Anya's family.

Anya is married against her will, but she never stops loving Ben. She writes him letters, but he never writes back. She knows that he is too afraid to contact her, lest he put her in danger.

Anya's marriage is a living hell. She is abused by her husband, and she is forced to live a life of luxury that she does not want. She longs for the days when she was free to be with Ben.

One day, Anya's husband dies in an accident. She is finally free, but she is also heartbroken. She knows that she will never see Ben again.

Anya wanders the mountains, searching for Ben. She knows that he is out there somewhere, but she cannot find him. She eventually gives up her search and settles down in a small village.

Anya never forgets Ben, and she never stops loving him. She lives a quiet life, but she never loses hope that one day they will be reunited.

Six years later

Anya is walking through the forest when she hears a familiar melody. She follows the sound and finds Ben sitting on a rock, playing his flute.

Anya is stunned. She cannot believe that she is finally seeing Ben again. She runs to him, and they embrace.

Ben is overjoyed to see Anya. He tells her that he never stopped loving her, and that he has been searching for her ever since her husband died.

Anya and Ben are finally reunited. They are married and they have a child. They live a simple life, but they are happy.

Their love has survived against all odds. It is a love that is as strong as the mountains, and as pure as the forest.

The end.
