Amber gave birth to a 4 kg boy. Antonio had a son. At that moment, I was on the plane, deep in thought.
My mind drifted to the past when Antonio and I just got together.
That year, my family told me my grandpa was sick and needed his medication.
They didn’t have money. If I didn’t give them any, my grandpa wouldn’t get treatment.
I gave all my savings to them. I didn’t even have money for a meal. Before the payday came, I had bread for a month.
Later, Antonio heard about it.
Born with a silver spoon in his mouth, he had never worried about money.
With red eyes, he asked in a husky voice, “Why didn’t you tell me?”
Before I could reply, he held me tightly. Concern was plain in his tone. when he spoke again. “Are you forgetting? You have me.”
