"Love Can Be Terrible"

Short story

One day my son suddenly ask me "Dad, why did you marry mom?" By the way before i tell you our story my name is John, the only girl i'll ever love my wife her name is Mich and our son's name is March we named him after his birth month he was our pride, joy and happiness..

I was shock when he ask me that question it's not ordinary for him to ask about her mother. So i asked him "Why are suddenly asking about our story?" he smiled and answer "I just miss her dad. So please tell me your story."

I take a big breath (woooooo)...

(you know what i don't actually like talking about the past but he's my son after all)

and answer 'Okay son, when we were young or should i say 18 like you we are just like any of your friends. We're just so ordinary teenagers we just want to fall in love and define love..

Love is so important for teenagers right. I was so stupid and funny back then. Your mom was my biggest crush and i think that she didn't know that. I was always looking at her. I thought that she was the most beautiful woman that i have ever met...

Her eye's,

that hazel eyes was so beautiful,

it sparkles and her smile..

Her smile will make anyone fall inlove with her. A princess that is what i think of her.

Every 12 in the afternoon i go to the school cafeteria because i know that she'll be there. Im quite a stalker i guess. I just sit there and look at her for hours and it felt like the clock stops ticking..

But all of a sudden she look at me and started to walk in my direction. I don't know what to do that time. That moment son i was sweating a lot.' i stop.

My son laugh and i too started to laugh.

"Do you want a coffee dad?" he asked me. "Yes" i replied. After drinking our coffee. He tell me to continue my story..

'Like  i was saying your mother walked and sit beside me. She told me..

"Boy i can't help but notice that your always staring at me. Do you like me?"

My heart starts to beat fast.. I'm tongue tied i can't answer her. She was so frank and i like that about her.

So i took every courage that left on me. And answered..

"Yes, i like you Mich. No, i think i love you."

That was the bravest thing i have ever said.

After a few months of courting her. She became my girlfriend. The girl of my dreams, my princess is finally mine..

Time pass by we drink a lot, laugh at the star and shared everything. Too young to notice and too dumb to care love was a story that couldn't compare..

In our anniversary i made something for her. And i telled her..

"I made you present with paper and string. Open with care now I'm asking you please, you know that i love you. Will you marry me?"

She cried and answered me.. "Yes"

again i stopped on my story, because tears is starting to fall into eyes..

"Dad don't cry" he said with a sad face.

'Okay dear, I'll continue my story. Years go by and she get pregnant and that was you son. You are a gift that God has given to us. Our angel. You know how happy our family, right? we enjoyed everyday.

"Yes dad" he answered..

'And then your mother talked to me..' before i can even finish the sentence i started crying. I can't even stop my tears.

I look at my son he was there looking at me. He's crying too. It's been a long time since i see him cried..

"Please Dad, continue.." while crying he said.

'Your my told me this lines..

"John can i tell you a terrible thing? Since then I'm sick and i only got weeks. Please, don't be sad now i really believe you were the greatest thing that has ever happen to me...."

I couldn't help myself anymore..

I cried loud infront of my son...

I can't help it..

we were perfect..

She's my Queen..

but she left me..

she died..

I fell to the ground on my knees and told him..

"Son, don't fall inlove there's to much to lose. If you're given a choice, then i beg you to choose to walk away, don't let her get you...

I can't bare to see the same happen to you.."

"Now Son, I'm telling you this because life can be terrible thing.."

The End. Bow. :)
