A lot of people don't believe in love at first sight, well that wasn't the case for Andre and Audrey for their meeting was mesmerizing, they got drawn to each other in minutes after meeting, and immediately fell in love. So you could say that their love started at first sight.
Andre was an engineer while Audrey was a banker, they both were doing good in their fields and earned well. They started dating and within few months, Andre proposed to Audrey and introduced her to his family members. They welcomed Audrey and gave them their support to go ahead with wedding plans.
Audrey was a very cheerful and a likeable person, everyone likes to be around her because she radiates positive energies. Audrey was also respectful and humble even though she was from a wealthy family and Andre's family loved her for all her good qualities.
Wedding was planned and date was chosen and both families came together to make sure they gave their children the best wedding ever. The wedding was luxurious, Andre made sure to give his bride Audrey her dream wedding. Their wedding was the talk of the town and friends and families joined in celebrating their love story on their wedding day.
Two months after their wedding, Audrey gave her husband Andre the best news of his life, she was expecting a child. The couple was overjoyed and celebrated the good news with close relatives. The pregnancy journey was made easy by her husband Andre for he showered her with lots of love and got her whatever money could buy just to make sure she was comfortable and happy.
Nine months later, Audrey gave birth to a beautiful boy, he was handsome and immediately loved by all. Everyone was happy for the couple and wished them well. A week later, a naming ceremony was held and the baby's name was disclosed to everyone as Andrew. Things went on as planned and the couple showered so much love on Andrew. Andrew was also a cutie, he doesn't cry unnecessarily, he was a happy child and a peaceful baby.
Andrew's parents had plannned his future, they wanted their son's future to be great and would put in all their efforts to achieve his goals.
One evening the couple was discussing about their son and Audrey said "i would like Andrew to be a doctor in future"
Andre said whatever Andrew chooses to be in future is fine by him, all he's after is his son's happiness.
Two years down the line, Audrey who spends more time with her son Andrew, started noticing something different about her child, he was already two years and yet nonverbal, he wasn't associating with other children and doesn't make eye contact, "what could be the problem" she thought.
She discussed with her husband about what she noticed and other things children of his age does that Andrew doesn't, she was really worried and broke down in tears as she explained to her husband.
Andre told her that she was being overly worried about nothing, that their child is still very young and probably just going through a delay. Andre comforted his wife and assured her that everything was fine.
Thing's continued as usual but deep down Audrey's heart she was still worried. She confided in a friend who told her to seek professional help. She told her husband about her plans to take Andrew to the hospital for checkup, he gave her a go ahead if that would make her happy.
Appointment was booked and when it was time she took Andrew to the hospital, she got the worst news ever, everything was fine until the test results reveals that baby Andrew was autistic, she was devastated, "no, there must be a mix up somewhere, it can't be possible" she said as she cried even more.
Andre was called and he rushed to the hospital to meet his wife, they comforted each other and assured themselves of their unending love for their son no matter what the outcome is.
Andre met the doctors and seeked advice on what steps to take next, the doctor also encouraged them and referred them to a therapist who would work with baby Andrew and help him go through the difficult new phases.
Even though it was a difficult moment for Andre and Audrey, living in denial would only make matter worse. The therapist had told them to accept reality and put hands together towards achieving their goals. She told them strategies to apply, lifestyle changes and foods to include in Andrew's diet. Early intervention would help Andrew navigate through the difficulties and adapt better. These would help improve his situation hopefully.
Audrey wonders if her baby Andrew would ever be able to achieve all that they hoped for him.
"Would he ever come out of this"? Andre thought to himself as he hugs his wife and held on to his son, assuring him of his love.
