Unwanted

You didn't want me, did you? All you did is to leave me alone beside that long stretch of road. That lonely road. I knew it deeply that you didn't want me, just because he left you for another woman. You are weak, you are always weak. You couldn't even stand it. Why?

You didn't give me a chance. A chance to lead a normal life. A chance to be a normal child. A chance to be a son of yours, and most importantly, a chance to be loved.

You didn't understand me. I woke up and all I found is this man in uniform. I didn't know him. You didn't know how much I cried when I opened my eyes and seeing him lifting me up.

You once said you would love me always, no matter what happens. You told me that I will be the best child in the world. You never kept your promise, and you never will.

You are nobody, but a coward that doesn't accept life.

These are the words that Jason uttered deep in his heart. Jason, now 16, lived with his adopted father in the small town of Phoenix. Right 16 years ago, his father found him beside a road, wrapped in nothing but a flimsy cloth. Jason was sleeping quietly when his father found him. As he opened his tiny, innocent eyes, he cried to see this man he didn't know.

For 16 years, his anger boiled inside him.

Jason's mother, Fiona, carried him inside her womb when she was 18. She was a pretty lady whom everyone loved. One fine day she met a young man who took her away. They stayed together for a few months. Their relationship was blissful, she saw a beautiful wedding in her mind. She and her husband, walking along the aisle with a beautiful bouquet of flower.

But in that cold and windy autumn, everything changed. The night was cold, and the wind was blowing harshly against their window. The two of them were getting close to each other on their bed. It started with a kiss, and it evolved to a night that changed their lifetime.

A few days later, Fiona cooked a feast for her partner. All of his favourite food, the wines, and even the table was decorated elaborately. Then her partner came home. She hugged him, but he pushed her away. Fiona heard the biggest shock of her life. He had been sacked out of his job.

Then Fiona told him another shock - She was pregnant.

The couple decided to do their best to keep the baby, and to be economically stable. Her partner look for another job. A job, merely enough to feed them. Fiona had decided to take up a part time job in that fast-food outlet. Their struggle had been worthed it. It was one month more to Jason's birth. And everything went downhill.

Jason left Fiona with another woman he met at his workplace. All he had left was a note saying "I love you, dear. But I could not bear the responsibility of being the father of our boy"

Fiona cried, life had turned its back from her. Despite of her sadness, she carried on with life, and Jason was born on that cold autumn night.

And she gave his life away. On that cold, lonely road.
