All Chapters of A Love That Never Fails: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

My name is Ludwina. My parents were big fans of classical music and named me after the maestro, Ludwig van Beethoven. My older brother was Johann. I guess you could tell that his name was taken from Johann Sebastian Bach. My second brother's name was Wolfgang, from Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and he passed away ten years ago when he was only fourteen.Enough about me, though. 

I later realized that Andrea actually wanted children. He thought my fear was not real and that one day I would change my mind and want to have a baby, just like him. We got married in a simple but solemn wedding. Andrea did not like crowds, and he managed to convince my mother to agree on a small intimate wedding. You see, my mother's only dream in life was to throw lavish weddings for her kids. But she finally relented. That's how much my mom loved this man to be her son-in-law.

I tried to keep myself busy with writing. I just wanted to take my mind off of Andrea and fill it with novel characters. I created a country called the Water Kingdom.

My excuse was always the same: I was looking for inspiration to write. Having really wealthy parents who loved me to bits helped my quest for this so-called inspiration. I also didn't understand why I always felt uneasy when I stayed somewhere for more than two months.

I was invited by the UWRF committee to speak because of my first novel. However, later my new novel was published and Genta Publishing wanted to use it as a promotional event too. I did not expect that there were so many participants who packed my session on the second day of the UWRF.Anna, from the publisher, told me that the stock of books that we had brought to Bali was all sold out even before my session started. It was quite unexpected. I was a complete nobody last year when I attended this event, but now I was a bestselling author giving talks in my own session.
