BEFORE I MET YOU
"When a mistake led you to a life full of hardships. Will you be able to continue without regrets?"
This story is heavily influenced by the korean drama series entitled "18 Again". It deals with real life scenarios and gives youth a glimpse of what future really is. This story is to open hearts, to open the minds of the youth whose too enticed with their fleshly desires, whose only motto is 'YOLO' and who are too invested in their present rather than thinking beforehand about their future.
------
Sasha and Holland are high school sweethearts. Holland is supposed to study engineering and Sasha was supposed to study medicine. They had their future set up in their minds.
However, one terrible day, in a party, both Holland and Sasha got drunk, leading them to a night of love making. Subsequently, Sasha got pregnant.
They got married and thought life would be easy for them both. However, Sasha's father, their breadwinner got into a severe accident and all their funds landed on the hospital fees. On the other hand, Holland is an orphan who supports himself solely on scholarships.
After years of marriage and after how many struggles and hardship went their way, Sasha thought of ending things with Holland.
Sasha regretted and Holland was heartbroken, felt resentful of himself.
He wished to go back in time to correct everything, to make Sasha's life better, to help her achieve her dream.
One day, he woke up, with a chance to change everything in the way it should be. He went back to the time, before he met her.

This story's purpose, that I hope would reach a lot of youth, is to share the possible consequences of teenage pregnancy especially those whose socioeconomic status are not great to begin with, who are not financially capable to raise a child and start a family.
Regrets. Hope.
Love. Heartbreaks.
A bittersweet story about life, love, family and friendship.
Enjoy reading!
