Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right

“How could he disregard his child and rush in so recklessly? Utterly irresponsible! Now, both his parents are gone!”

“I don’t think he wants to live either.

”

“What a poor kid!”

Overwhelmed, Domenic shut his eyes, unable to comprehend why his father had abandoned him to rush towards certain danger.

Was it a love-driven act, as some suggested-his father opting for suicide for love?

Was it true that for his beloved parents, their world revolved solely around each other, rendering his existence a mere inconsequential accessory?

Domenic yearned to understand what significance he held in their lives, but they departed without uttering a word, leaving behind no trace but ashes.

It was as if they had never crossed his life’s path.

A profound ache pierced his heart like a knife, a relentless pang that refused to subside.

The thought of it kept haunting him, the pain unyielding.

Every year, on the same day dedicated to honoring his parents, Domenic sought solace in the church alone.

He hoped that amidst prayers, the Lord might offer answers to the questions weighing heavily on his mind, resolving the insurmountable conflicts within his heart.

Despite the passing years, answers continued to elude him.

He was left with only the chilling silence of the cross before him.

Domenic intended to linger a bit longer at the church, but Lindsey mentioned her plan to return that night, prompting him to cut short his stay.

It presented a rare opportunity for the two of them to fulfill their wish of buying groceries and cooking together.

As he prepared to depart, a familiar figure caught his eye by the church’s entrance-it was Lindsey.

Lindsey’s radiant smile offered solace to Domenic in this sacred space.

“Why are you here?” Domenic approached Lindsey, gazing into her bright eyes with deep fondness.

“Do you realize what today is?” Lindsey asked, her smile playful and sweet.

Upon hearing this, Domenic was taken aback.

Did Lindsey realize that today marked the anniversary of his parents’ passing?

He parted his lips slightly, ready to respond, but Lindsey retrieved a dainty blue box from her handbag and extended it toward him.

“Happy birthday.

” Lindsey’s eyes shimmered with radiance.

Suddenly, Domenic was momentarily speechless.

He had forgotten it was also his birthday.

Ever since that tragic accident, his birthday has become the anniversary of his parents’ passing.

His heart had grown heavy on that fateful day, and he hadn’t celebrated his birthday since.

“Even though I wanted to surprise you later tonight, I believe presenting it to you here, at this moment, holds greater significance.

”

Lindsey opened the blue box and retrieved the rosewood bracelet.

She raised Domenic’s hand and delicately slid it onto his wrist.

She said softly, “I brought it each week when I came here to pray for a full month.

I never anticipated you’d be here on this special day, too.

It’s like a divine sign.

I hope it can always bless you in the future, ensuring your safety and health throughout your life.
