You got pregnant by your boyfriend and both of you are entered college when, you knew.

He's taking criminology and you are taking fine arts when that happened. He have a dreams ahead and you don't want to ruin it, so you broke up with him not saying the reason, dropped out of college and fly to another state

Five years had passed, your daughter is also now five and currently pulling your hand towards a toy store.

But you're too busy checking your phone because your boss kept bugging you with some work to be passed today.

You're super stressed making you lose sight on your daughter who is now nowhere to be found at the mall.

Panicking, you search for her and asks a lot of strangers at the mall if they see you daughter while giving them the details.

You're about to cry when vou see a familiar figure of child excitingly holding a lice man's hand towards your direction.

It's your daughter and her father. The one you run away from.

"Mama! I found Papa!"

You froze on your spot when your eyes met his softest gaze.

Feeling the cold rush from your body, your daughter finally stops dragging her father's hand to run towards you.

No one dared speak to the both of you while locking gazes at each other, yet you broke it when he cleared his throat,

You missed him so much, and you feel guilty for Turning away with your baby that he doesn't know about

"D/n, where did you go? Didn't I tell you to stay, hmm?"

You stroke your daughter's hair as she jumps in excitement while holding your hand.

"I won't be lost, mama! You said that Papa is a strong policeman, and he's here; he will protect us, mama!" She said this while pointing at him with her sparkling eyes.

As guilty as you are, you finally give him a look. He's towering over you while his questionina evés are Staring to water

"Is. Is she our daughter?" H/N's voice cracked.

Both of their eyes remain on you, waiting for your answer. You felt sorry for hiding your daughter from him.

"Y-Yes, she's ours, H/n." you cried.

He stroked D/N's cheeks and gave her a strong hug as your sobs grew louder, prompting your daughter to sob onto his arms.

"I waited too long, papa. I miss you," she cried.

While H/N was securely holding your child, tears began to fall. not wanting to let go of her.

However, you are now gretting your choice from years ago In essence, denying hi him the opportunity to become a father in favor of his aspirations tore you apart. You fled in a cowardly

manner.

H/N looks at you and asks, "How could you keep this from me?" His mournful eyes delved into the depths of your soul. "We have a daughter, y/n." You heard him sobbing.

Your mouth refuses to

speak or answer as you are busy crying and sobbing. Feeling guilty for everything you did. You want him to achieve his dream of being a police officer, but having a premarital intercourse will take him out of service.

"Please answer me, y/n He pleaded

You didn't move from spot as carried you and stood up to wrap his arm around you.

"I'm s-sorry-" You continue to sob. He kissed your temples and hugged you tightly while carrying your daughter. Causing you to cry more on his shoulders.

"My dream is to be a cop, but I would rather leave my dream to live for my greatest dream to be with you and our daughter."

Right after we met H/N, he quickly quit his job and started a business here in Spain. Mayhap it is a blessing in disguise because months after his resignation from service, a massive shooting took place and a few of the cops died on the spot.

"Do you like this one?" h/n

asked.

He's holding a Barbie and showing into our daughter. I knew I would be this happy to see D/.content because of him

d/n examine the toy. "Yes, papa. But it is expensive. Her face saddened

H/N laughed and looked at me. I remember how I said those words when we were dating back then. And now he is hearing it from our daughter.

Your mama said the same thing before, sweet pie," he chuckled as his gaze landed on me.

D/N's head was titled as if she wanted to know what happened that time. Yet all of our laughter became a nightmare when armed people barged into the store and demanded valuables

didat spea dragged us to the cubicle of the re room and locked the door.

"Stay here; don't come out until you hear the sirens." He held my hand and handed me his phone as he kissed our foreheads.

He sneaked out as D/N sobbed while hugging me, asking for H/N. but I couldn't say anything. Not until my heart skipped as I heard H/N's voice and gunshots.

He can't be dead. Not when we're just starting to be complete. It can't be true, those voices were just an accident. He is still alive,

You keep on praying those phrases while hearing the shotguns fire up the whole store outside.

Mama im scared." D/n caught your trembling hands as she silently crash into your m

"Papa's police friends are coming, okay? Everything will be alright." you said in a nervous tone.

Despite of unsure afterglow of this event, you remain silent and convincing yourself that H/n is alive and well.

After few hours of war outside, everything went silent and the police sirens start to get loud as it continue to near the place.

You heaved a deep sigh when a police open the cubicle and rescue scue you and your daughter
