Following years of arduous labor and commitment, 28-year-old Angelina discovered that she was proud of the school that she had effectively led for many years.
Until a girl named Emily entered her class and presented herself, introducing herself as someone who had recently arrived to the town with her dad and a cat named Whiskers, the instructor felt she had seen it all. “Oh, and my dad has a photo of you at our house,” the girl abruptly said.
Although Angelina didn’t ask any questions or smile awkwardly, the girl’s comments stuck with her for a while. Angelina opted to wait and see who would pick up the girl from school since she was curious about the identity of her father.
Angelina’s heart briefly halted when she spotted the girl’s father. She had planned her life with her high school love, Michael, when she was younger.
This reminded her so much of her time spent with him.
Angelina thought back to the times when they had in-depth discussions about their future together and then she thought back to the choice she had made years ago that had followed her ever since.
She was pale and in pain when she woke up twelve years ago. Michael was beside her. She didn’t feel any better when he brought her a drink of water out of fear.
Unsure of what to do, he called her parents, who promptly came to Michael’s house. In the hopes that nothing major was going on, they all headed to the hospital together.
The results of several tests showed that Angelina was expecting a child. She and Michael were expecting a child.
Michael was ecstatic when he told him the news. He expressed to her his admiration for the notion of becoming a father and living a lifetime with her and their child. Parents of Angelina were equally thrilled. They were glad she had found someone who truly loved her, someone like Michael.
But Angelina had mixed feelings. She didn’t think she was prepared to have a child. She wanted to follow her aspirations, consider a career, and eventually own her own school. Her father interrupted her when she tried to express her worries, saying, “Now is not the time for foolish dreams.” You must concentrate on this baby—that’s what matters most.”
Angelina gave a nod. She didn’t feel happy because she thought that this circumstance was making her give up on her goals.
A few months after submitting her application, Angelina got a letter from a college.
“Look at this, Mom and Dad. I applied to this college, and they accepted me!
Her parents had conflicting emotions in response. Her mother remarked, “Angelina, this is wonderful news. But have you given this any thought? With the impending birth…
“I could be a mother and a student. Angelina said, “I could manage with some help from Michael,” with a hopeful tone.
“Angelina, we are proud of you, but you have to be realistic,” her doubtful father said. You’re going to become a mommy shortly.
“But I can do both,” Angelina retorted. I’m confident in my ability.
Then her mother remarked, “Michael is getting ready for the baby and has found a good job.” It is unrealistic to expect him to balance employment and childcare duties while you are studying. Her mother and father shared the same thoughts. “Angelina, you belong with the child. “You should concentrate on raising your family; Michael will provide for them financially,” he stated.
Angelina felt as though her dreams were dimming at that moment. Her parents were unaware of her goals. All they saw in her was the potential to become a mother.
Michael and Angelina’s parents were there to support her during the birth of her kid. The infant arrived in good health.
Although Angelina cherished her child, the thought of becoming a mother overcame her. She felt as though she had been cheated out of the life she had always dreamed of.
After giving it some serious thought, she concluded that she wasn’t ready to be a mother and that her daughter would be better off without her. With that in mind, she left her family behind, leaving a message.
After attending the esteemed school and achieving academic excellence, Angelina realized her lifelong dream of opening her own school. But every day she was plagued by the fear of leaving her family behind.
One day, after working up the bravery to follow Emily after school, Angelina unexpectedly found herself at Michael’s door.
“Angelina?” As he opened the door, Michael asked in disbelief.
“I apologize for being unexpected. We should talk,” Angelina began, her emotions running high.
Then Michael opened the door for her. They discussed his life with his daughter and how difficult things could be at times, but they managed.
“I discovered that the price was too great after leaving to pursue my aspirations. With her gaze fixed on the pictures, Angelina admitted, “I missed out on so much.”
“So, you realized your dream? Your educational institution?” Michael enquired.
“Yeah, I did,” Angelina answered, her tone reflecting both pride and remorse.
Michael remarked, “Then maybe it wasn’t all for nothing.” “My daughter and I have enjoyed a happy life together. Though it wasn’t simple, we succeeded. She is now a lovely, intelligent, and kind young woman.
Emily was enrolled in the school that Angelina informed him belonged to her.
Michael expressed his satisfaction that she had achieved success in her life, but he felt compelled to inform her of something else.
Emily had a medical condition that required expensive treatment. He made every effort to locate the money, but it proved difficult. They relocated as a result of his even selling his house.
Angelina was powerless. After all those years, she finally discovered her daughter, and she was unable to let her go.
She then took a choice that would alter her life once more.
After a few days, Angelina showed up at Michael’s door once more. She had an envelope in her hand that contained a large check.
Michael questioned her about the location of the money.
With a heavy but obvious choice, Angelina said, “I sold the school, Michael.”
But Michael pointed out that it was your dream.
“I know, but I now value our daughter’s life and being a part of it more. I can’t allow it to happen again because I lost you both once. I would do anything to be in her life once more. With a determined voice, Angeline said.
Fortunately, Emily was able to get the care she needed to become better.
To get closer to her kid, Angelina moved in with Michael and their daughter.
Angelina felt a sense of contentment and serenity that well outweighed her career accomplishments when she was with her family once more.
