Abigail happily came home from school because she had already answered the lover she crushed in her whole high school life. When she opened the door she heard her parents fighting.
"How long have you been fooling me?" her mom shouted "tell me Andrew where did I got wrong to you?" she could hear her mother crying
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it Celine, I was just tempted" her Dad replied "I didn't know I was going to have a child with her" she explained
She saw her mom slap her dad, "what do you want me to think? That your woman seduced you and then you were tempted? Is that what you want me to believe Andrew?" her Mother asked angrily
"Let me explain please" he said "I didn't really mean it Celine, believe me" he begged
Abigail couldn't bear not to go inside the house because she was tired and wanted to rest.
Her parents were surprised when she entered the house, "Abigail have you been there for long?" her mother asked
"Yes Ma, is there any food? I'm already hungry" she asked but they can't see any emotion on her face
She yelled at her husband, "We're not done yet Andrew" she said "just a minute child, I'll prepare your food" her mom said
"Don't worry Ma, I can prepare my food by myself, just let Papa and you fix what the problem is" she said as she went to the kitchen.
She could hear her parents arguing again until she heard that her mother was driving her father out of the house. Even though she had not finished eating she got up and went to the living room.
"Get out of this house, we don't need you here" she pushed Andrew out of their house and threw a bag of his clothes "well, you might say I'm a bad wife when I leave you without clothes " she says
Abigail saw their neighbors coming out of their houses. "That’s enough Ma, our neighbor saw us" she said as she held her mom's arm "Pa, please leave" she said to his Dad
Her Dad was moved to tears when he heard Abigail’s words, "Are you angry to me, Abigail? Are you mad at me too?" he asked
"Pa, how many times have you done this to Mama, this is not the first time you have had another woman beside mama" she said "so please Pa, don't make anything that will put us to shame" she added
Andrew took the bag of his clothes; "Daddy's promise daughter, I'll be a good Daddy again when I come back" he finally left.
"Come on Ma, let's go inside" she supported her mama to enter inside the house
When they went inside, her mother couldn't stop herself from crying.
"Please stop from crying Ma, you did the right thing" she said while holding her mama's back "Papa did that to you a few times and I also have a brother with him because of his cheating" she added
Her mother wipes the tears from her eyes, "Abi, I love your Dad very much" she replied "how many times have I forgiven him for being a womanizer but now he has a new child, I can't accept that" she said "I am sorry if you will grew up with a broken family" she apologized
"It's okay mama, the important thing is that he understands that what he did was wrong and he shouldn't do what he did to you" she replied
"Take a rest, you still have school tomorrow" said her mom "I'll take care of the kitchen"
"All right, good night" she kissed her Mama on the forehead
"good night,"
She went to her bedroom to rest, when she entered she immediately lay down on her bed and she also started crying. She loved her Dad because since she was a child, her dad did not feel that their family was in trouble. She cried and cried until she did not realize that she had fallen asleep.
Before Celine went to sleep, she checked if she was asleep. As she opens the door she hear her sobbing and uttering the word Papa. She felt sorry for her daughter because even though she was not at fault, they were affected by their marital problem, so she approached her and put her to sleep first because she knew that she was also hurt by what happened.
The next day, she got up early to take care of Abigail as she went to school.
Abigail also got up when she heard her alarm while yawning and stretching and she went to the kitchen, "Good morning Ma" she greeted.
"Eat your breakfast, then take a bath so you don't get caught late at school" her mother reminded
"Mom, I'm just going to drink milk" she said "because I have no appetite" she added
"All right, I'll just prepare a food for you so that when you're hungry you can eat in your recess" she said
After drinking the milk, she took a bath and put on her school uniform.
"Child, your food is already in your bag, don't forget to eat" she ordered
"Yes Ma, I will" she replied. Abigail approached her mom and kissed her on the cheek "Mom, I want to asked from you" she said
"What's that?"
"Later I'll invite Andrei here for dinner" she said
"Who's Andrei? Is that they guy you introduced to us that he's your lover?" she asked
"Yes Ma, I answered him yesterday" she said smiling
"All right then, I'll cook for dinner later" she replied "Come on, you'll be late for school in a few minutes" she reminded her again
"Bye Ma" she said
She left and went to their school, because her school was close to their house so every morning she just walked to it.
"Good morning baby" Andrei greeted her
"Are you trying to flatter me in this early in the morning, baby" she said with a smile
"I'm telling the truth, didn't you answer me yesterday and now I'm your official boyfriend" he replied smiling at her as well
As they walked, they met students from other year levels, some were freshmen and others were from the junior level.
"Hello Andrei" greeted a woman from junior level
Andrei smiled at the woman because she was beautiful, "Hello, good morning" he replied
She noticed that Andrei's smile was different from the woman who greeted him, "Do you like her?"s he asked
"No" he refused
"She's beautiful, isn't she?" she asked
"Yes" he replied "but you're more beautiful than her" he said
She frowned and her boyfriend replied, "Andrei, you'll be home later to have dinner with us, I'll introduce you to mama" she said
"But baby, my friends and I have a walk" he would reason "I'm sorry, we can do that on another day"
Abigail was even more upset when her boyfriend replied, "All right, I'll just tell Mama that you can't come later" she said.
Abigail and Andrei are both at the senior level, so it seems like it's normal for the two of them to sweet to each other. Andrei is one of the Student Council officials so he is more often busy with his responsibilities as part of the student council because he and Abigail have only been together there once.
She and Andrei have been in relationship for almost three months when she heard gossip at their school that Andrei had a girlfriend inside the student council. At first she didn’t believe it because she knew her boyfriend loved her dearly. One day, she invited Andrei to have lunch with her.
"Andrei, I would like to ask you something, will you answer me truthfully?" she said as she prepared her food
