# # Way one: May chooses "confess."

May did not immediately respond.

She just looked at Ploy.

And in that sight,

There's nowhere to escape.

May sat down opposite.

Hands shaking.

And tell the truth she's most afraid of.

"Non... doesn't exist."

That quote.

Not loud.

But it's heavy.

Ploy didn't cry.

Not ranting.

She just asked.

"Why?"

Brief question

But May can't answer long

Because the real answer

It's too embarrassing.

May spoke tearfully.

"We are afraid of losing her."

"We're afraid that if no one is good enough for you,"

"She'll leave us."

"So we make good enough people."

Quiet.

Very quiet.

Ploy asked again.

"What about these three years?"

"What's real?"

May replied.

"Our feelings... are real."

-

Ploy smiles.

But it was a smile May had never seen.

Not a smile of happiness.

But it is the smile of

"Acceptance of the truth."

Ploy said softly.

"But our feelings."

"It's for Non."

Not May.

-

And that.

Is what May hurts the most.

Not being hated.

But is

Not being chosen.

-

After that day,

Ploy is still

But not the same.

She never told May everything again.

Don't smile for the phone again

And don't call May late at night that.

"Stay a Friend"

May still has gems in life.

But there's no gemstone.

In the same way again.

---

# # The second way: May chooses "lie on."

May chuckled.

"What is this?"

"Nont is Nont."

Ploy looked still.

"Then why is his account on May's phone?"

May replied immediately.

"He let us log in."

"In case he's busy, he'll repay."

Excuses

That sounds like a possibility.

Ploy nodded.

Slowly.

"Oh."

She didn't keep asking.

Not arguing.

Not ranting.

-

But after that day,

Ploy never greeted before again.

It's not because she believes

But because

She already knows.

And waiting

That May will stop by himself?

-

Three days later,

Nont is gone

Didn't answer again

Not online again.

Like someone who never existed.

Ploy didn't ask.

Because she knows.

Who killed him?

-

And what died with Nont.

Not just the characters.

But is

"Trust."

---

# # The most painful truth of this

Not being deceived.

But is

Sometimes.

The person who deceived

Is the person who

Love us the most

In the most wrong way.

I can tell you another angle.

* * The corner of "Gemstone" after knowing the truth but still pretending not to know * *

Which is the angle

Quiet.

But the most brutal

Because it is the angle of the person who

"Already spoiled.

But still smiling. "

... Read moreในชีวิตจริง การตัดสินใจยอมรับความจริงหรือโกหกต่อเพื่อรักษาความสัมพันธ์นั้นเป็นเรื่องที่หลายคนต้องเผชิญ หลายครั้งที่ความกลัวการสูญเสียใครบางคนที่เรารักทำให้เราต้องปกปิดความจริง หรือไม่กล้าสารภาพในสิ่งที่ใจต้องการ เรื่องราวของเมย์กับพลอยในนิยายนี้สะท้อนถึงความซับซ้อนของความรู้สึกและความคาดหวังในความรักที่หลายคนอาจเคยสัมผัส ฉันเองเคยพบสถานการณ์ที่ทำให้ต้องเลือกทางเดียวกันกับเมย์ คือการปกป้องคนที่เรารักด้วยวิธีที่เราเองก็รู้ว่าอาจไม่ถูกต้องเต็มที่ การสร้างภาพหรือความเป็นจริงขึ้นมาเพื่อตัวเองและเขาก็ดูเหมือนเป็นทางเลือกที่ปลอดภัยในช่วงเวลาหนึ่ง แต่ในระยะยาว มันกลับสร้างรอยแผลและความไม่ไว้ใจที่ยากจะเยียวยา ในบทนี้ เมย์เลือกสารภาพความจริงที่เจ็บปวด ซึ่งทำให้ความสัมพันธ์เปลี่ยนไปโดยสิ้นเชิง พลอยซึ่งรู้ความจริงแล้วแต่แกล้งทำเป็นไม่รู้ก็แสดงให้เห็นถึงมุมมองของคนที่ต้องเผชิญกับความเจ็บปวดภายในใจ ถึงแม้เธอยิ้มแต่ความจริงแล้วใจแตกสลาย นี่เป็นภาพแทนของความเจ็บปวดที่ลึกซึ้งในความรักที่ไม่ได้เป็นไปตามที่หวัง นิยายเรื่องนี้จึงไม่ใช่แค่การเล่าเรื่องรักสามเส้า แต่ยังสะท้อนความเป็นจริงในความสัมพันธ์ของคนกับคน ที่บางครั้งการเลือกที่จะไม่พูดความจริงหรือพูดความจริงนั้นมีผลกระทบอย่างมากต่อความไว้ใจและสายสัมพันธ์ระหว่างกัน ถ้าหากคุณกำลังเผชิญกับสถานการณ์ที่ต้องเลือกเช่นเดียวกับเมย์และพลอย หวังว่าบทนี้จะช่วยให้คุณได้คิดทบทวนถึงผลลัพธ์และความสำคัญของความจริง ความซื่อสัตย์ และความไว้วางใจในความรักที่แท้จริง
