I took the letter down until it fell to the floor. My tears fell so hard. I was crying but no sound came out of my mouth. Before long everything turned into a sobbing cry that I could not control myself. My heart is so hurt. I can't stop all this pain. My heart was so hurt that it made my chest feel so painful. All I can think of is why John could leave? And now John is gone.
John went for his own good. John doesn't love me and it's too late for me. I already love him even so much. He wants to marry me, but he doesn't love me.
I felt Mama sitting on the floor with Mama's arms around me letting me cry and telling me that everything was going to be okay. But for me none of this will be okay. Why John could leave me.
'Did I do something wrong? Doesn't she realize that I love her?'
I keep saying that love word all the time. Then why can't he trust me. He should have stayed here with me and we could have fixed all the problems between us. I just want to love him and live with him.
If it wasn't for my three twins, I would definitely have stayed in my room for this one week, watching a romantic movie, she said, reading a romantic novel with a happy ending can make me cry and also eat fast food.
But being a mother made me realize that I wouldn't be able to do any of that. I have to wake up every morning and have a normal routine as usual. I have to keep the kids ready and prepare myself. We go out every few days and I have to live my life as I always do.
I haven't heard from John in 6 months. No, that's not what I expected or wanted. But Olivia changed too. Olivia and I were such good friends for a long time, we were like family even with my three children.
But it seems like family ties are more important to Olivia than her best friend. So I can understand why I don't see him often anymore, considering that his brother prefers to leave me. And until now I still do not understand, what is the reason for him to leave me.

"Adel, what are you thinking?"
I looked up at my laptop where I saw Mama coming in through the front door staring at me with a curious look on her face.
I showed my laptop to my mom and showed her what I was doing. Mama looked surprised at first and then the look of Mama's face immediately changed to look so happy.
"You're gonna start college?" Ask Mama.
I just smiled to see Mom.
"Yes Ma." My reply. "I think maybe it's time for me to continue my education. I've filled out all the forms, too." I said to Mama.
"Of course, honey, that's a very good idea. Whatever you can help, just say it, okay." Say Mama.
I nodded my head and then Mama went to her room.
I have decided that it is time for me to move on. My twins are much bigger now. They are two years old now. So it made things easier for me to be able to deal with everything.
I took the equality exam a few weeks ago considering I didn't finish school. So to continue my desire to go to college, then I have to get an equality diploma first.
...****************...
Three weeks later....
I am now in a college. I took the Faculty of Economics, and I was so grateful that I got a scholarship that I was able to rent a small apartment that I could live in for a while. I also have a job that can help me to pay for baby sitters to look after my 3 kids while I'm in class, and the baby sutter's name is Sofia.
Sofia is the same age as me and she also works to get a certificate as a child guard. So working to look after my three twins was the perfect job for her. He also has a 1-year-old daughter named Mila who he also often brings to my apartment.
My apartment is about an hour and a half from the house where Mama lives now, so it's easy for me to visit Mama with the kids whenever I have free time.
I was walking to class reading my notebook. I walked towards the wall. I was completely unaware of it and hit the wall. I feel so sick in my head. I looked up and saw what I thought was a wall, it was a man.
"Oh shit. I'm sorry." My words are not good.
He helped me get up and laugh at me.
"It seems you have a very hard head." Said the man.
I don't know why I got so upset about her words. It was as if she was saying that I was a stubborn woman. But judging from his looks, it seems like he doesn't look like a bad guy.
I just stared at him with a surprised expression. I apologized again and started walking away from her. But I just stepped up and he immediately pulled my hand again. I tried to pull my hand back, but he didn't let go of my hand and it pissed me off.
" Hey...!" He screamed as I clawed his arm. "I'm just kidding." Further.
I stopped my actions clawing at his arm and looked directly at his eyes.
"Come on, I might have been acting too much earlier." Her speech.
"Mmmm... Not really, it's all my fault." Reply with a smile.
He also returned my smile.
He was a tall man with well-groomed hair and his eyes looked so adorable to me. He wears a white shirt paired with blue jeans and a sporty black jacket. The shirt he was wearing showed the shape of his chest and it looked really muscular.
"Mmmm.... Hi." Hey." He said with a smile to me.
Her smile was a little adorable and also looked sexy.
After that, I went to my class. But my mind was completely unfocused on the courses I was currently receiving. I was thinking about that guy. I don't even know what his name is. I'm not sure why I even thought about him. I haven't dated any man since John left my life. After all, which guy would want to date a young mom like me who has three twins.
Only a crazy man would date a woman like me. I think I'm going to be a single woman for the rest of my life. Maybe later I can keep a cat to be able to accompany me until old age.
"Miss Adel....!!! Did you notice ?" Said the lecturer and I looked at him who was looking at me with a face that looked frustrated.
"Sorry Sir." I said to the professor.
She seemed to roll her eyes and walk away from me and back towards the front of the class and continue her studies.
Throughout my course in the class at the moment, everything was going so slowly for me and as time went on, the course ended and I walked away. Actually I ran I was chasing someone. I saw the same figure of the man I hit this morning.
He held my arm when I almost fell down. But it was only for a moment because he lost his balance just like me, because my legs were slipping and we both fell with him on top of me.
I felt strange and depressed because of the weight of his body. After that, he immediately stepped away from my body. While I was still lying on the floor staring towards the roof. The man stood up and looked at me, with an expression that looked like I was angry with him.
Maybe I'm actually angry. Maybe I should be standing up right now, when he's trying to read my mind. He then held my hand to help me stand up and I immediately accepted his hand.
"Thank you again." I said with a cheerful m.
"This is the second time you've hit me." Said the man.
And what he said was a fact. I laughed and looked at him, and he laughed at me.
"Yes, I think I should start to see where I'm going from now on." Laughing.
She looked like she was trying not to laugh and I felt my cheeks start to warm up.
'Oh my God, is my cheek blushing? Wow today is really strange.'
Adel, you're a mother of three twins and you're blushing like this like a virgin and it doesn't suit you.
"My name is Justin." By the way." Say it with a smile.
"I'm Adel." Reply me briefly.
"Alright Adel. Do you want me to take you home?" Her speech.
I refused his invitation. How could I let a man who looked so cool and handsome look so attractive to me drive me home, but I realized that I was no match for him because I had three children.
"We don't know each other very well yet." My speech.
"So we can get to know each other later on down the road." Justin said, but I still refused.
I thought that if she went to my apartment and she saw my children, I would be laughed at and ridiculed by her.
"Okay, all right." Reply me.
On the way to my apartment, we talked about a lot of useless things, like our favorite colors and also talked about which superhero is the greatest between Superman and Batman.
I was thinking of telling you about my three twins. But I suddenly froze every time I wanted to say that.
We had already arrived at the gate of my apartment building when Justin held my arm to make me stop walking.
"What's wrong?" I asked confused.
"I was just thinking about what exactly you wanted to say to me earlier?" Ask Justin to me.
"Oh...." That's all I can say.
He kept looking at me, as if waiting for me to say everything.
"Okay, okay. The problem seems to be that I like you and it has never happened to me before and I have never told anyone else about it because it is a part of my life. I am a solitary person and I am truly alone." I said at length.
"alright. Are you a killer?" Ask Justin.
"Oh my God, of course not." My yelling.
"Then, it's all unlikely to get much worse and to you know, I seem to like you too. So it's gonna be harder for you to stay away from me. Fate has brought us together, at least twice in one day." He said with a slight smile.
I smiled nervously at him.
"Well, I'm a mother." I said so quickly.
He just looked at me for a few minutes.
"You got a kid?" Ask Justin.
I was silent for a moment.
"I have three children." I said by looking at his face which immediately looks lost color on his face.
"Twin three." Saying again.
" Oh my God....!!!" He said so surprised. "Wait a minute. I have to sit down first." He said again trembling.
He sat in front of my apartment and I looked at him with a worried look. At least he didn't run, or he didn't want to run.
It took a few minutes for Justin to look calmer.
I could tell that the news I told him was so shocking to him. I think that's a good thing. But of course it's not good if she thinks that I'm a cheap woman because I have three children and no husband.
I sat down next to him and put my arm on his shoulder. He looked at me with a weak smile.
"So three kids? How did that happen? When and what are their names?" Justin asked with a lot of luck.
He seemed so sincere when he asked all that. I smiled and immediately pulled her into my arms with our position sitting so close. He returned my embrace and a moment later, we let go of the hug. We laughed together too.
All of a sudden, he kissed my cheek so gently and he turned his body towards me.
"Are you not scared? Don't you want to run because you're scared and yell?" Ask him.
He looked at me with a smile and shook his head. I smiled and looked into his eyes.
"Well do you want to hear the whole story or do you want to hear the version at the level?" My toot.
"Just tell me the short story now. We can talk about the whole story later, okay." Reply Justin.
"alright. I have three twins. Now they're 2 years old." I looked at him, saw how he was behaving and I was surprised to see him listening to me so intensely and still smiling at me. "I have two daughters named Moon and Diamond and one little boy named Star. I was 17 when I was pregnant. I didn't even realize when and how I could have that relationship. So when the doctor told me that I was pregnant, it was very interesting to me. I always wanted to laugh, remembering all those memories. Do you know, I even thought that the doctor back then was crazy.
"Wait first! How can you not know that you've been in contact with someone without knowing anything. Just think about how you can do something without remembering it? I was so surprised. I mean, you're 17 and at that age there are a lot of women who've done that at that age." Justin said to me confused.
I laughed at how stupid all that Justin said was, if heard well and focused.
