On the Eve of His Wedding, Arthur Accused Martha of Betrayal—Though She Swore Her Loyalty, He Refused to Listen. Two Decades Later, He Met Her Son, a Living Mirror of His Own Youth…
They Shared a Love Straight Out of a Storybook: Passionate, Extraordinary, Enviable. Many Envied Their Bond and Stirred Up Trouble. The Young Couple Were Planning a Wedding That, Sadly, Never Happened.
The Night Before the Big Day, Martha Revealed She Was Pregnant. Instead of Joy, She Faced Arthur’s Fury. He Accused Her of Infidelity, Insisting She Couldn’t Possibly Be Pregnant So Soon. With Chilling Finality, He Told Her He Didn’t Believe a Word—But She Went Ahead and Had the Child.
Friends Called Him a Fool; Everyone Saw How Deeply Martha Loved Him. But Arthur Stood Firm—The Relationship Collapsed, and the Wedding Was Cancelled. He Suggested an Abortion; She Refused. Martha Waited Until the Last Moment for His Apology, But He Never Called.
She Wouldn’t Dial, Either. Arthur Was Certain He Was Right. They Went Their Separate Ways. Martha Faced the Consequences on Her Own. Even When Their Paths Crossed, Arthur Pretended Not to Know Her. He Would Glance Away on the Playground, Determined to Forget.
Martha’s Life Was Hard. Being a Single Mum Was Tough, But She Found Happiness. Her Own Dreams Took a Back Seat as She Devoted Herself to Her Little Angel. She Gave Her All to Ensure Her Son Lacked Nothing: Working Multiple Jobs, Building His Future. Chris Thanked Her—He Was Her Rock and Defender.
He Went to University, Served in the Army, Found a Job. As He Grew, He Stopped Asking About His Father—He Knew the Truth. As a Child, Martha Told Him Stories, But Did He Believe Them? It Was Clear He Did Not.
Chris Was the Image of His Father. At Twenty, He Reminded Martha of the Arthur She’d Fallen For. One Day, Their Paths Crossed: Martha, Arthur, and Chris. The Biological Father Was Struck—The Likeness Impossible to Miss. He Watched in Silence, Unable to Speak.
It Was Three Days Later That Arthur Came to Martha and Asked, “Can You Forgive Me?”
“It happened long ago…” Martha Whispered.
And So, The Tale of ‘Daddy’ Came Alive—For the First Time, Chris Met His Father. Twenty years on, I recognise in the boy the spitting image of my younger self. The night before their
“I don’t want any other daughter-in-law, do as you please!” – said the mother to her son.
When Mark finished university, he decided it was the perfect time to marry his first high school sweetheart, Molly! Molly was beautiful, but more than that, she was kind and intelligent. At the time, she was writing her master’s thesis. The young couple agreed to wed as soon as she finished her studies.
Mark decided to break the news of the wedding to his mother, but she didn’t have good news for her son. His mother declared that he would marry Amanda from next door or nobody else. Then she asked what mattered more: his career or his love? His mother dreamed of seeing her son grow into a man of success.
Amanda was from a well-off family and had fancied Mark for ages, but his heart was set on Molly, whose background was far from prosperous. Molly’s mother had a bad reputation… What would people say?
“I don’t need any other daughter-in-law, do as you please!” – said the mother to her son.
Mark tried long and hard to persuade his mother, but she refused to budge. Finally, she said if he married Molly, she would disown him. Mark got cold feet. He continued dating Molly for another six months, but their relationship fizzled out.
In the end, he married Amanda. She truly loved him, but they decided against having a wedding celebration. Mark didn’t want Molly seeing any wedding photos. Since Amanda came from a wealthy family, Mark moved into her parents’ grand house. Her parents also helped boost his career. But he was never happy.
Mark didn’t want children. When Amanda realised she’d never convince him to start a family, she filed for divorce herself. By then, Mark was forty and Amanda thirty-eight. She remarried, had a child, and finally found real happiness.
Mark dreamed of marrying Molly, tried searching for her, but to no avail – it was as though she’d vanished. Later, he learned she was gone. An acquaintance told him that after they broke up, she’d married the first man she met, who turned out to be a brute. He beat her to death.
After this, Mark moved back into his parents’ old flat and began drinking himself into oblivion. He would constantly look at Molly’s photo and could never forgive his mother.
