Prologue

The sound of rolling luggage, the smell of warm and fresh air, the red suit I was wearing, paired with black stilettos and sunglasses, and the sleeping baby I'm carrying.

I'm here again...

But this time, with my son.

He's a 5-year-old boy that has white plump cheeks and a handsome face, he reminds me of winter: he's usually silent and is sleeping most of the time so taking care of him was such an easy task, especially for a single mom like me.

My friends call me Sulli Tomoya and before I left this country, I pass the bar but I lost the love of my life...

~

It was raining hard that night, my boyfriend and I were meeting at a fancy restaurant.

I was late for a few hours because of the heavy rain and the traffic, and of course, my family wouldn't stop mingling with me because I had just passed the bar that day.

We were all happy and were celebrating.

I was elated when I came to the restaurant and was led by the waiter to where he was.

It was also the day I'm telling him a surprise, I clutched my purse and smiled at him.

But he didn't smile back when he saw me...

That was the first sign, but I didn't think much of it.

"Hal, what's wrong?"

Trevor, who's also called Trey, but I had a special nickname for him, it was 'Hal', he was an heir to a billion-dollar airline company. He was being honed to be the president when his father retired. He was an only son, he had a sister but she chose not to meddle with the business and went to a medical field instead.

I know that the pressure must have caught up to him from time to time, so I made sure to let him relax whenever he was with me.

And this time was just another one of those times...

He returned my stare and gave me a sad smile and motioned for me to sit on the chair in front of him.

That should be the second sign, but I ignored it again.

Instead, I put my pouch on my lap when I sat and opened it, ready to give my surprise for him.

But he immediately cut me off...

"Sulli, let's break up."

That's when the world feels like it stopped spinning, it felt like the world was gonna end that day, it's supposed to be a happy day, I'm a lawyer now, I can support him with his business, and our love had been blessed.... what was he saying?

"W-what?" The tips of my fingers became chilly, my hand stayed inside the pouch, and my eyes stung from the tears that were threatening to fall.

"Sulli, I don't think this would work out. I found another one... Isn't you said if I found someone, then I should break up with you because that means I don't love you anymore."

I nodded, yes, I told him that, I said that if he found someone whom he loved, that means he fell out of love with me because he wouldn't search for someone if he still love me. But.. why now?

He knows that I passed the bar, we're supposed to be in the middle of celebrating. Why does he need to drop a bomb in this moment?

"Then.... what's wrong with me then? Tell me the reason!" I roared at my highest pitch than usual. Tears sprang from my eyes, and it became harder to swallow, I tried to stay calm by breathing hard, but as I stared at him, more tears fell.

"Nothing. It's just that I fell out of love with you, and I want to break up with you. Isn't that better than two-timing? Think of it as me being honest with you and not cheating, I want to end things up."

What?

I feel like I became dumb after hearing all that, my hand balled into fists, and I closed the pouch.

He was about to stand up, I heard the pushing of the chair, the irritating sound it made with the floor, why does it have to end like this? I raised my head just in time and stood up.

"But I'm pregnant, Trey." I lay my hands on the table for support, I may look like a wet cat right now that’s seeking shelter in a warm house, but that’s the real reason. What was inside my cream-colored pouch was the pregnancy test I had had since early morning. I didn't tell anyone because I wanted him to be the first one to hear.

But now I wish I had told everyone before him.

There's silence, and then he breaks out into a nervous chuckle.

"Oh, don't give me that Sulli, you can't make me stay just by being pregnant, my decision's final. Let's break up," he said, then stood up, leaving me alone, and I watched his back disappear.

That ends it...

That's my heartbreak story. Now I'm a single mom raising my 5-year-old son named Levi, and we came back to the country where it all happened. Is this going to be a mistake? Or will it end well?
