A Choice Made by Heart
Love can either make or break a person. It can make you feel superior or be at your worst. Sometimes, we make a strong choice only to realize that we made a mistake. Making sacrifices or choices lead you to a point where you can make your heart at ease or in pain. A heart is as delicate and pure as a snow so a large amount of care should be provided.

The love story of Alfredo shows how he deals with his own concerns dealing with long engagement and an eclipse of a heart. This eclipse of the heart means how Alfredo’s love grew apart with Esperanza and how this love makes a turn towards another woman. Esperanza did not notice it at first because she has deep trust with Alfredo. Due to some circumstances, Esperanza confronted Alfredo that leads to the conclusion that the upcoming wedding is off. Even if Julia knows of Alfredo’s feelings towards him, she did not reciprocate this love. This unrequited love makes Alfredo’s world fall apart.
A faithful and pure heart that loves so dearly will not deal with any problems. Loving is having faith and trust with one another. If only Alfredo totally committed his love for Esperanza and stay faithful, he will not be in this kind of situation. Our own choice marks our own way of life, our destiny. It would make us happy or sad for a reason.
