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

Wright looked down at the thighs and smiled sadly as he watched Reid. I turned to Reid as he held my hand. His forehead is furrowed. He really looks like his father. 


"Why are you here? Are you related to us?" Reid asked. 


I didn’t know what I should answer to his question. Wright and I looked at each other. I could read in his eyes the anticipation that our son would meet him. I had long prepared for Wright and I to face each other. I've been thinking for a few days and I've made up my mind. 


My son deserves to have a father. I will no longer disregard that right. 


I swallowed a few times. I knelt so Reid and I could meet eyes. "Give Granny the flower and the candle first. Don't play with the candle, okay? The last time you played it, your hair got burned. We'll just talk." 


One of his eyebrows rose and looked at Wright. "You're not going to steal my mom, are you? Because I will kick you and punch you." 


It takes seconds for Wright to answer.
