A charming young man from a big city met a shy, beautiful young girl from a small town. Just like a romantic play - everyone would love to see a happy ending. Well, sorry to say that it wasn't a play. That's why I'm here to tell you.

The young man was blessed with such a wonderful voice that friends never got tired of watching his performances on stage. They adored him. He enjoyed it to the most. Pretty girls were everywhere for him to pick, except for one. Surely - the shy, beautiful young girl from a small town.

The more she played hard to catch, the more he was obsessed to possess her.  Nothing he wouldn't do to win her heart. Tragically, she wanted him to promise her one thing. One thing she thought he'd never be willing to do. To give up the most precious gift he'd ever had. To stop singing.

For the young man, it was like being asked to stop breathing. Yet, much to her surprise, he did it. He made that promise and broke his own heart. All the girl had ever wanted was a quiet life. The kind of life he had never lived.

Shortly afterwards, they got married. Without having to wait for long, she delivered her first and only baby girl from their marriage.

Soon, the magic was gone. One day, she found out that he came home late at night after another performance at a night club. She began to cry bitterly and uncontrollably. I should have known, she thought with deep regrets, he would never be able to keep his promise ....

As the little baby girl grew up, little did she know why she didn't see much of her dad. And why mommy always looked so gloomy. She grew up with question after question remaining unanswered.
