Year 2016~
Zhao Ting Ting was waiting anxiously for pregnancy result in the washroom, her period was late so she suspected that she might be pregnant. Unfortunately, she wasn't.
"Why? Why? We've tried so many times, why can't I have my own child?" Zhao Ting TIng teared up as she thought about her other friends having their own children. Lu Ting was at work in his law office when he received the disappointing news. He thought about what he always wanted to do so he called Ting Ting.
"Ting Ting, I'm sorry. Let's break up. You can't have my kids, how am I suppose to tell my parents that you are infertile? Ting Ting, I love you but we can't be together anymore. If you need money, I'll give it to you. I wish you the best." Lu Ting finally said it, the burden that was in his heart for so long. Ting Ting was speechless and she was unable to move on. She slowly dragged herself to her best friend's apartment. Mimi was her college friends and they've been really close after graduation. Mimi had her own daughter and was living with her husband.
"Ting Ting? What's wrong?" Mimi was concerned about Ting Ting's wellbeing. Ting Ting only cried until her eyes and face were swollen.
"Mimi, Lu Ting broke up with me when I told him I can't get pregnant with his kids. We've tried so many times, it doesn't work. Why me? Is having a child too much to ask for?" Ting Ting cried on Mimi's shoulder and they hugged each other. Mimi's daughter came out of her room rubbing her eyes, "Mommy, who is that?" Mimi asked her daughter to come to her, "Miaomiao, this is my best friend from school. Can you give her a hug? She really needs one." Miaomiao nodded and gave Ting Ting a hug, "Auntie, don't cry." Ting Ting nodded while holding back, "Hm. Auntie won't cry. Miaomiao's hug worked. Can you give me another hug?" Miaomiao smiled and hugged back.
Ting Ting looked at Mimi and Miaomiao's mother-daughter relationship, it's really sweet.
"Ting Ting, it's not the end of the world. Technology is really advanced right now, I have a friend who went to fertility clinic to get IVF and now, she's pregnant. But first, you need to keep your spirit up. Okay?" Ting Ting nodded. She may be in her lowest right now but she will rise from the ashes one day when all things go downhill.
