Giving Us A Second Chance

I was in a rush and didn't know I had bumped into someone and dropped Leah's doll. Muttering a "sorry" to that person without looking at him, I pulled Ivan and walked fast to the mall's entrance. I almost reach the door when suddenly I hear someone calling me. Argh what now? I thought. "Miss, I think you dropped this" I turned and saw Leah's doll on the person's hand. I reached for it not looking at he person's face. "Thank yo... You!"I was shocked when I saw his face. Of all the people in the world, I get to come across him now? "Mel? Is that you?"he said. Gosh why does he have to be here? "Um yes, hi Jeckham" I said giving a small smile. "It's been a while, how are you and who are this little cuties?"he said looking down at Ivan and Leah who just woke up from her nap and on my hip now. "This is Ivan and Leah, their my ...."
"Daddy!Daddy!Daddy!"Ivan called and ran to his dad. I turned and saw Jimmy, smiling and walking with Ivan in his arms towards us. "Umm I'm sorry to hold your time. It's good to see you again Mel"he said with his smile gone now and walked off. Wait, why did he stop smiling? Why did he just walk off? I thought to myself.

After six long years, they finally bumped into each other in a mall. But seeing her with two beautiful kids on her side made him regret and confuse. Questions after questions coming his way. He was thinking so hard about her and their promise back when they were together in high school but now everything has changed. Has she really changed or was he jumping on to conclusions?

People often say that first love is not true love. But to me, just maybe first love is true love and that is where your destiny starts. Of course there may be some ups and downs on the journey but whenever there's an ugly storm, a beautiful day shines even brighter afterwards.
