Hello! I’m very flattered by all your nice compliments! It really means a lot. :)

I’ll look into how to make the save to file and load from file thing clearer.

As for the choice you speak of, it only appears if you already showed romantic interest in Ajmal. The choice to not confess does not cancel that in any way and the game will still take into account the romantic feelings MC has for Ajmal. 

There’s not really a choice to opt out of the romance in this choice set because it wouldn’t make much sense that soon after expressing interest.

But that might not be clear enough that the choice is still within the romance, so I’ll give it another look.
