I felt afraid. No one would know that, not Mother and not Mike. I’d keep the fear pushed down inside of me, and no one would know it was there. “I’m awfully happy, ” I wrote. I was. Awfully happy and awfully in love, and tomorrow I was marrying Mike. Benedict Freedman
About This Quote

In the book “Love in the Time of Cholera,” Gabriel Garcia Marquez wrote about a girl named Fermina Daza. She was a young girl who had been living in a small village in Colombia. The daughter of a wealthy family, she had a good life. She had a loving family and a career as a teacher.

However, there was one thing missing from her life: love. She had been in love once, but the object of her affection was unavailable. He had died two years prior to the novel’s publication, leaving her heartbroken and empty inside.

That is until she met Florentino Ariza.
