Love is a beautiful thing when shared, when reciprocated, when cherished, when nurtured. Love will definitely fall apart when it is one sided, when it is filled with painful memories and no sweet memories. Love will crumble when lapses are created and those lapses filled with bad intentions, lies, gossip, doubt and what have you. 
Such was the case of Anna and Andrew. Annna a naive young girl who was married to Andrew at a very young age fou d herself in a situation where she couldn't understand what went wrong or where she went wrong, they had been the perfect couple but he drifted apart and now they were world's apart, but she could solace in her gynecologist, after she had her first child for her husband,  she started to feel what she hadn't felt before. The feeling of sweet true love.

Pregnant for my gynecologist

I understand that you love him, I am sure of that, but love is reciprocal, when you live someone and he only thinks of evil for you, what then is love, what is love if the heart does not beat together and does not want the same thing, what is love if one is thinking about another continuously'

She asked when she heard the last part of his statement, she may be young but she wasn't an illiterate, she wasn't dumb, he was trying to tell her that her husband longs for some one else, he is indeed saying her husband isn't inlove with her. She looked at him with teary eyes as she waited for his answer, just then Angel came close to her and she stroke her hair playfully, the little girl didn't notice her mother crying until she felt something like water on her hair, she looked up at her mother and wondered with shock why in Earth her very happy mother was crying. Anna hugged her in a bit to console her daughter and also herself.

"Think about your daughter, think about what would happen to her if you get infected, you need to go, leave this house, run as fast as your legs can carry, when a cure is found, I will personally look for you to give you the good news about your husband, I promise.

Anna looked at him, she couldn't just leave her home without hearing from her husband, she couldn't just runaway, and to think that Andrew hate her so much that she wishes her death was still surprising to her, even recently she had seen him looking at her the same way he used to when they were fine, the same way he used to look at her when they just got married, the same look he use to have whenever he wanted her, what then was the problem. She shouldn't be asking, he was inlove with someone else, she couldn't be asking what went wrong since he himself had told her to leave the house, he probably wanted to bring the girl in, she took another look at the doctor and her daughter and knew she should fight for her child instead of fighting for love.

"Thank you doctor, I know what to do, thank you for coming and I am so sorry for taking your time, if you don't mind, I want to be alone"

She said that without looking at Joseph, he wasn't sure if he should leave immediately or stay a little and encourage her more to leave he wasn't sure what she had in mind to do, but he wants it happen the exact way he wants it, he couldn't just allow any mistake now, he needed to be very careful.

"Anna, you are my friend and I cannot see danger and allow you fall into it, if staying with Andrew is what you want, then I am sorry, I cannot save you, but whatever decision you make, do not forget your daughter should be your priority. Ask yourself questions, how has he been treating you and your daughter for the past months? Ask again, if he loves you why did he cheat on you and contracted the disease. The answer is clear, he doesn't love you, he doesn't care for you, stay away and stay alive for your child. Think about it, if you die now, another infected woman will come and take your child and maltreat her, you will not rest even in the grave, so think about it.

Anna could not hold her tears anymore, she cried loud as Joseph walked away. He knew he had done the right thing, he didn't need to stay any longer, she would know what to do, and he was sure of what she would do, he smiled to himself, kissed Angel's cheek and walked away.
