Marriage
For some, marriage is a dream-a union of love and shared promises. For others, it is a stage as daunting as it is inevitable.
In the middle of the crowd, surrounded by blaring music and flashing lights, they began to lose control. The alcohol dulled their senses, One mistake, one moment, and everything changed.
A few weeks later, Jill found out she was pregnant. Her hands shook as she held the test, the reality sinking in. She knew she had to tell Denzo, but deep down, she already knew how he would react.
When she told him, his face showed the same fear and disbelief she felt. They were strangers-two people with nothing in common except a decision they couldn't take back.
What came next wasn't their choice. It was his mother's, she insisted there could be no shame in their family. Marriage was the only option. There was no discussion, no way out. Jill and Denzo were trapped, tied together by a situation neither of them wanted or were prepared for.
Seven years went by-seven years of quiet mornings, awkward silences, and lives that barely touched. But through it all, there was one bright spot that made everything bearable: their son.
The boy who held them together, the boy who gave their lives meaning.
