Epilogue
"Hon, I want to compete." Shanika said.
Shanika Suzzete Lovato, the beloved wife of Sander Lovato. She was an International Model who's in her peak and is trying to compete in the most awaited event of every model all over the world, the Triennial Night Galla.
Although she already have 2 child, she still got her glass-hour like shape. Donning with her long and smooth legs, the most envied and successful model of todays.
Everyone's anticipating for her to win the crown on the event. Even her husband is proud of her but something unexpected happened.
"No, you can't." he replied firmly. Although he also wanted too but she can't.
"Hon, please. Just this one, I really wanted to go." she pleaded. She knew why she can't go but she can't just give up easily.
"For goodness sake Shan! You.are.pregnant! and pregnant's aren't allowed to participate." he's losing his temper. He frowned looking at her wife who looked upset. He understood why she's upset. It was her dream and now that it's in her grasp she can't just let it go easily.
"but I,I..." I can just abort the baby. She stuttered under the intense gaze of her husband she can't blurted out what she was thinking.
"You what? Are, are you thinking of aborting our child?!" he can't believe she was this heartless. That's their child, their flesh and blood and she wanted to just abort it?
"YOU KNOW IT IS MY DREAM!" she cried out.
"AND IT IS OUR CHILD! YOU WANTED TO KILL IT JUST FOR YOUR DREAM? WHAT THE H*LL!" he can't help but to shout at her too.
She wanted to reasoned out that they already have 2 childs and they can just forget the incoming one. She know she's too heartless but she can't give up her lifetime dream.
"I, I, I just wanted to achieve my dream." She's crying as she slumped down the floor. She was torn in between her dream and the life that's in her belly.
"Good, very good. You're too unreasonable. Go on, get that f*cking dream of yours but forget about us and your children. Let's get a divorce, I can't believe I married a heartless person. You f*cking want to sacrifice our child just to f*cking get that award. Sure, go on. Leave and don't comeback!" that's what he said before storming out of the room, fuming mad.
Left in the room, Shanika's crying her eyes out. She was left on the floor thinking what did he said. That she realized that she's unreasonable enough for him to be acting like that.
What they both don't know is that their eldest son who's 5 years old son and 3 year old daughter was watching them argue. They both heard what their mother wanted and was shocked. They both do understand what they meant during their parents conversation or more likely argument. They both inherited their Father's intelligence and age can't be the hindrance for them to understand what's happening.
****
The next few days have been quiet as the kids distanced themselves from their mother. As the days go on, Shanika never talk about attending over it again. Although she love her career, she love her husband more. So she did, she gave up on her career and give birth.
But little did they know that the daughter she gave birth to would want to give up on her life because of her, her mother.
