Melissa and Wright were college sweethearts. The kind of love they have often makes others envious. Wright was from a wealthy family and he has everything in his hands. While Melissa only has her Grandmother after her parents passed away. The man who has everything and the woman who has nothing found each other and made each other feel complete. On Wright's birthday, Melissa spends the night with his pad and gives herself to him. But after a week, the man who said he loves her the most started giving him cold shoulders. Then, she found out that she was pregnant but the love of her life was avoiding her like plague.

Then, one night, she visited his pad and to her surprise, she found his ex-girlfriend, Claire, inside. She confronted him about her pregnancy but she did not expect his words would make Melissa's world turn around.

"Abort it. I am not ready to be a father."

After that night, Melissa didn't see Wright's face everywhere. They told her that he migrated to another country and left her all alone. Melissa took care of the child even if she encountered a lot of hardships. She stopped going to college. Her grandmother died. She faced all the hardships alone, without Wright.

Years passed by, Wright found out that Melissa did not abort their child and he is desperate to take them back.

Broken Strings

Thursday came quickly. This is my first day at my new responsibility. Reid still doesn’t know about my new job. I don't want to lie but it's better to keep it a secret from my son. He might think of asking about Wright and I have nothing to answer. Eugene knew about my new job. If I needed him, he would come right away. 


"I'll pick you up later. Wait for Mommy." I said softly to Reid as I send him to school. 


"Yes." He nodded and kissed me on the cheek before entering the gate of his school. 


He stopped walking and faced me again. He waved and I waved too before he disappeared from my eyes sight. I hailed a taxi to go to Wright's address. I had prepared myself for our confrontation. I shouldn’t get over how I feel, the feeling of hatred. 


Yes, I still love him. But I can't be with him anymore. I love my son more now. My world revolves to him.
