the bridge

After more than a decade, a reunion was conducted for them to see each other again. At the party, Mila, 37, was a bit stiff  knowing her ex-boyfriend, Lino, was there. They used to be in a relationship for 2 years but eventually, things weren’t lucky for them. In her heart, Mila still had this weird heartbeat for Lino which she couldn’t understand why. So she tried to get away from where Lino was. Whenever she saw that she was near to Lino, she looked for a better spot where she could not really bump into him.

After some moments of trying to get away from Lino, Mila finally met Nina, her college bestfriend. Her smile was so gigantic when she saw Nina. She noticed something different to Nina’s tummy. When the evening went dark, Nina whispered to Mila. 

“I am 4 months pregnant, Mila. I will be a mother soon. How about you?”

“Wow, congratulations! Ummm…me…still single. I have been alone since the day Lino broke off with me. But don’t mind it. That was long years ago,” Mila uttered with a long face. “I know you can still remember because you were the ‘bridge’ between us before. Am I right?”

“Ummm..ye…ahh…” reluctantly answered by Nina.

“By the way, who’s the lucky husband?” Mila enthusiastically followed up.

“Would you believe...it’s Lino!” Nina happily remarked.

All of a sudden, the world paused at that moment. 

Surprises really do come along when we least expect them!
