Twenty Years Later, I See My Younger Self in the Boy On the Eve of His Wedding, Arthur Suspected Martha of Betrayal. Even Though She Swore She Was Faithful, He Refused to Listen. But Twenty Years On, He Met Her Son—His Exact Double … Their Love Was the Stuff of Novels: Passionate, Unique, and Intense. Many Envied Their Romance and Tried to Cause Trouble. The Young Couple Were Preparing for a Wedding That, Tragically, Never Happened. The Night Before Their Wedding, Martha Told Her Beloved She Was Expecting His Child. But Instead of Joy, She Was Met with Anger and Frustration. Arthur Accused Her of Infidelity. He Repeated Over and Over She Couldn’t Possibly Be Pregnant So Soon. He Told Her to Her Face He Didn’t Believe Her. Yet She Gave Birth to That Child. Many of His Friends Told Him He Was a Fool. Everyone Saw How Much Martha Loved Him. But Arthur Remained Stubborn. The Relationship Fell Apart and the Wedding Was Cancelled. He Suggested an Abortion, but Martha Refused. She Waited Until the Last Moment for Her Beloved’s Apology, but He Never Called. She Had No Intention of Calling. Arthur Was Convinced He Was Right. They Began New, Separate Lives. Martha Had to Face the Consequences Alone. Even When Their Paths Crossed, the Young Man Pretended He Didn’t Know Her. He Saw Her at the Playground, but Always Looked Away, Not Wanting to Remember the Past. Martha’s Life Was Hard. She Became a Single Mother, but That Didn’t Stop Her from Being Happy. She Had to Put Her Personal Life Aside, But She Had a Little Angel for Whom She Was Willing to Do Anything. She Did Everything to Make Sure Her Son Didn’t Want for Anything. She Worked Multiple Jobs to Secure His Future. Chris Thanked His Mum—He Was Her Support and Main Defender. He Earned Higher Education, Served in the Army, and Got a Job. As He Grew Older, He Stopped Asking Who His Father Was Because He Knew the Truth. Of Course, in His Childhood Martha Told Him Stories About His Dad, but Did He Really Believe Them? The Answer Is Obvious. Chris Was the Spitting Image of His Father. At Twenty, He Reminded His Mother of the Arthur She Once Loved So Deeply. And Then, One Day, Their Paths Intertwined: Martha’s, Arthur’s, and Chris’s. His Biological Father Had an Epiphany—It Was Impossible Not to See the Resemblance. He Watched Them for a Long Time, but Couldn’t Say a Word. It Wasn’t Until Three Days Later That He Came to Martha and Asked, — Can You Forgive Me? — Long Ago…” Martha Whispered. And Then Stories of ‘Daddy’ Came to Life—Chris Saw His Father for the Very First Time.
Twenty years later, I see my younger self reflected in this boy. On the eve of our wedding, Edward suspected
