Karen calmed down and disengaged from their hug. She poured herself a drink and downed it in one go.
"What happened to the boy? Why didn't you talked to him?" asked Violet carefully.

"I can't. I'm not allowed to. His mother told me to stay away, never talk or contact the boy ever again and never tell him everything that happened. If I do, she would gladly show me the extent of her wrath. I was all alone. Both the people that is very important to me can't support me, father was dead and mother needed me the most. Sometimes I do missed the boy. I still love him afterall this years. And even if I had the chance to see or talk to him, I can't anymore. I'm no longer worthy of him. I will never be able to bring myself to face him. I can't imagine how much pain will he feel if he found out I accepted his mother's offer. Her money. If he found out, I didn't fought for us" Karen swung her head left and right in disappointment.
"When we got there my mother urgently need to undergo a surgery. I used the money for that. During that time I would shuffle between mourning my father at the funeral, waiting worriedly for my mother's successful surgery and caring for her after that. Amidst all that, I collapsed from exhaustion and I found out that I was pregnant with my son" Karen poured herself another drink.
"I didn't know what to do but I know in myself that I will never choose to abort my son even if I'm too young and alone at that time. My son was the result of me and that boy's love towards each other. It's the only thing that's left that reminds me of the boy. Despite how many hards.h.i.+p I faced, I never chose to give up because of my son. He's the reason that I'm alive and the reason I have to push forward"
"After I found out about my pregnancy, I can't bring myself to lie further to my mother so I told her everything. After she knew of what happened and that she's a grandmother, she steeled herself to become better even when she's sick and grieving for my father. She said that she'll live long enough for my father's stead and watch over me and my son for the rest of her life" Karen smiled genuinely for the first time since she told her story.
"Is there anything left of the money that the boy's mother gave you? I'm sorry if I asked, I just wondered that's all" apologized Violet immediately.
"It's alright. Yes, there's a lot more left. I only used it for my mother's surgery and when I gave birth to my son. That's how big the amount is. The rest of the money, I saved it aside for my son's future. Everything I do, everything I am, all of it was for my son. I don't regret anything because if I do, that's denying the existence of my son. He's not a mistake, he will never be. He's the best thing that G.o.d has given me in my life" Karen smiled brightly amidst her face stained with tears.
