Chapter 15

It's been five months since I left the Sebastians' mansion. And during that long time, I was peacefully carrying the fruit of my love for Uno. That's right. IM pregnant. I only found out about this when I was about to apply for a part time job at a restaurant. I suddenly fainted, and when they rushed me to the hospital, I found out that I was pregnant. I didn't expect to be pregnant. I thought then that it wouldn't work but I was wrong. Hard, yes. But I will be able to raise my son even if I am not with his father. And one more thing, I'm not alone. "Baths, check. Groceries, check. Oh there it is. Your one week supply is complete. Can I go home now?" Irritated language of my companion once waved. "Eh where's the banana? I told you to buy me one. Why not?" I'm sorry to complain. I told him several times not to forget the banana but still nothing. I think this woman has amnesia. I frowned at this look. "I'm sorry I forgot. I'll just buy you my next way here." He explained and picked up the sling bag placed on the table. "Waaah Aera, you know I really want to eat bananas and then you didn't buy me? What's wrong with you!" I cried words as I stomped. She rolled her eyes at me then grinned. "Omg Gabi stop acting like a kid. You're 22 and soon to be a mother for heaven's sake!" He rebuked me for ignoring me and continued to trample me. It's just unfair. He forgot my only request. My feelings hurt because he doesn't seem to care about me anymore. I can"t explain how I feel and it feels like I really want to cry. I wasn't like this before but I think it was an effect of my pregnancy. "I want a banana! Buy me three kilos please." I felt sorry for her but the shameless witch stared at me again so I cried even more. "Wait, can I call a friend? I can't be the only one stressed here. Why don't you go home yet, I hope your pregnancy is clear." Aera's complaint. I just stared at him and didn't say a word. And as a sign of defeat, she heaved a deep sigh. "Tsk fine." Immediately my eyes lit up and I smiled sweetly at him. "Thanks! You really are the best." I promised and gave him a hug but he gently pushed me away and stared at me. "Be careful with your actions, feel sorry for the child you are carrying." He scolded me again so I just scratched my head. "Yes, I'm sorry." I was joking that he just shrugged and left. Fortunately, that girl is here, even though she is rude. Otherwise, I might have become a beggar on the street. I just shrugged and went back to the living room to watch TV. Aera saw me at the restaurant where I used to work. I'm still two months pregnant so I can still work a little. I didn"t really expect that we would meet. At first I tried to run away again but knowing her, she didn't let me take a step. That witch is really bad. It was the first time we met, so I was pulled straight. I couldn't even speak, he pulled my hair. Done in the middle of a crowd! And the reason? He said I worried him too much so he just deserved to beat me and tweak me until my scalp was removed. Oh right? Really animals! Fortunately, he was stopped immediately when I was with the waiter and said I was pregnant because if I didn't, he might even kill me. After that, he scolded me again. It's like a mother if you can look. It also happened that he stayed at his aunt's house here in this area for a while. I told him everything that had happened to me. At first he tried to tell the rest of our friends and even my parents that he had seen me. I immediately stopped him. I"m not ready to face Mom and Dad yet. Maybe the time will come when I will go home to them but not yet. So from then on Aera secretly helped me. I can't work anymore because my stomach is getting bigger so he supports me. I was grabbed by the big bulge in my stomach when I felt like someone had kicked me. I smiled sadly. 'Your daddy will be happy when he sees you.' I also feel guilty sometimes because I seem to have deprived Uno of his child. But I know it's unlikely that we'll ever meet again. Maybe Uno won't accept that we have a child. Especially her Dad. I think Uno is happy now and he has seen his fiancee. Wait, who is Uno's fiancee? I was there but not once did he mention the name of that woman or even her dad. 'But whoever you are, I hope you take good care of the man I couldn't fight back then.' I felt hungry so I grabbed my stomach again. Aera's duration. I just smiled when I suddenly remembered something. I immediately stood up and made my way to my room. When I entered I hurriedly opened the small cabinet. I picked up a plastic one hidden there with only four pieces of banana. I had a secret here in the room as a back up when I ran out of the kitchen. It's a bit over riped but I don't have a pack. As long as I just fill my bloated stomach, okay. I immediately took soy sauce as a sauce and went back to watching television in the living room. I peeled a piece and dipped it in soy sauce and ate it. I just close my eyes in delight. A minute passed and I was about to eat the last piece of banana when I heard a door bell. Aera for sure. I went to the door with the banana. I opened it but immediately let go of the banana when I saw Aera turn pale with a gun pointed at her head. I couldn"t move with the extreme nervousness I was feeling but my eyes were fixed on the man holding the gun. "Uno?" I stiffened in my stance. I could not believe what I witnessed. Why is Uno here? How did he find me? And why is he carrying a gun? Is he mad at me because I suddenly left him on the air and he planned to kill me? But why is he aiming the gun at Aera and not me? Many questions that wanted to get rid of me but not one, nothing came out of my mouth. I was just like a fool staring at him. "Jessica?" Obviously shocked that he mentioned my name l. He looked at me confused and couldn't believe it either. I hope it's just a dream. I tightly closed my eyes and lightly pinched my thigh, hoping it wasn"t all true but I was just disappointed when they were still in front of me after I stared. I can not talk. "Jessica, it's you! It's really you! I thought I'd never see you again but you're here, alive and-" She said happily but it was cut short when her eyes went to my big belly. "Pregnant." He said weakly and sadly. I looked away. "A-What are you doing here?" I stuttered the question. I was devastated when my eyes landed on the gun he was holding. He also got there and seemed to come to his senses. He quickly lowered it and handed it to the man standing behind him. As if on cue, Ae immediately approached me and hid me behind her. "I won't let you do anything to her." The language is Ae. I could feel the tremor in his voice. "What do you mean?" I asked my friend a confused question. What's going on? "They're here to kill you." He directly said that I stopped. "What?" I covered my mouth and turned to Uno in disbelief. Immediately his expression changed. "No! That's not it. We got the wrong person. I was searching for Gabriella Arcus but swear, I'm not going to kill her." Uno's confused explanation made my forehead furrow even more. "But she is Gabriella Arcus!" Ae said firmly and hid me even more behind her. Uno looked at me with his confused eyes. Waiting for the word to come out of my mouth to confirm what Ae said. I looked at the floor and nodded weakly. "But you are Jessica Valdez. How come-" "She doesn't exist. I made Jessica Valdez up. My real name is Gabriella Arcus." I cut off her word and left behind Ae. "Gabi what are you doing?" Ae scolded me. "Ae can you give us a minute?" When I ask for a favor from my friend, I also look at the person standing behind Uno. "But-" "Please?" Please talk to me. He seemed to feel the tension around him so he did nothing else and went inside. Uno's companion also left. I turned my attention back to the man in front of me. I could read the mixture of disbelief and shock on his face. I can't blame him. It was also my fault that I didn't tell him the truth. It just stared at me and didn"t speak. "I'm sorry Uno, because I lied to you." I said while holding back my warning tears. It still doesn't spill. I really had no plans to tell the truth because I knew he would hate me. But I could do nothing. He already knew and the only thing I could do right now was accept it all. It breaks my heart thinking that Uno might never forgive me but I have to accept his anger. It's my fault anyway. The tears I had been holding back started to come out. "I know you can't forgive me-" I couldn't finish what I was going to say when Uno suddenly gave me a hug. "A-What-" "Thank god it's you." She whispered softly as I pressed my face to her chest. I looked him in the face and I could see the pleasure there. "Aren't you angry? Why?" I'm confused question. Why is he happy? He must be angry because I hid my true identity from him. But why? He released me and spoke. "Because Gabriella Arcus was the name of the woman who was supposed to be my fiancee." He answered with a smile. Immediately my eyes widened. "So mean," "Yes, you are my fiancee." He added to what I said which caused so much pleasure I feel at this time. I let him in and there he told me everything, he did the same. "So after all this time, we're just running away from ourselves like fools?" I laughed saying. I really can't believe how twisted our fate was. We kept running from one another to be with each other. I wish I hadn't run away then. Edi I hope I don't suffer like I'm going through. But I still have no regrets. I frowned when I noticed Uno's sudden silence. It was as if someone was deep in thought. I reached out his hand and held it. "What's wrong? Aren't you happy?" Concerned I asked him. It shook and spoke. "Tell me, are you with someone else now?" He said feeling down. My left eyebrow arched. 'I think I'm in the mood of teasing him now.' I averted my eyes and answered him. "What if I say yes?" I speak. I can see pain in his eyes after hearing what I said. It made me want to burst out of laughter but I still continued my acting. His fist clenched and he stared at me. "Leave that guy. Please come back to me sweety. I can't live without you, I'm begging you. Whoever is the father of the child you're carrying, I'll kill him." He said desperately as if he was about to cry. Shoot I can't take it. I can't bear to see him hurt. I would have told him that it was just a prank but my friend had already preceded me and was leaving. "Then kill yourself." Ae replied then slammed the door shut. We both turned there and looked at each other. I smiled at him sweetly. Everything my friend said seemed to sink into him. "Is that true?" He asked. I nodded quickly. "Yes. I'm bringing our son." My language is happy. He approached me and touched both my cheeks and pressed our foreheads together. "So I'm a dad now huh." He said softly and looked down. I nodded again in agreement. But I was shocked to feel a tear dripping down my hand. "Uno?" I called to him but instead of speaking I heard only faint sobs from him. "Hey why are you crying?" Confused I asked him. "You don't know how happy I am right now." He whispered as he sniffed. I feel like I'm in tears because of what he's doing. "What are you, I'm already infected." I tearfully rebuked him. He rubbed his face and faced me. He squeezed both my cheeks which made me scream. "Don't you ever prank me again. I might really kill." He said then released my cheek. I immediately landed there and stared at him. "I love you so much. The both of you." He smiled and rubbed my bulging stomach. I just smiled. "We love you too." I also answer him. He looked up at me and showered me with a kiss on the face. This is to be the happiest day of my life. ***** After a couple of weeks I decided to go home. At first I didn't want to because I didn't know what to say to Mom when we met. But Uno encouraged me that's why I agreed. I don't have anything to hide anymore. I am on my way with Uno to our house. I couldn"t help but be nervous. Dad might not accept me anymore. "It's going to be fine." Anang Uno next to me who was driving and held my left hand with one of his hands. I heaved a deep sigh and calmed myself. When we arrived, I just smiled when the whole house was transparent. How I miss this place. Uno opened the door for me and together we made our way to the front door. I immediately felt nervous when I saw my parents standing there. When Mom saw me she hurriedly walked over to me and wrapped me in her arms. "Princess you're here. I missed you so much." She cried words. Immediately my chest tightened and my tears began to flow. "I miss you too Mommy. I'm sorry." I spoke tearfully and responded to his hug. We let go of the hug and I looked at Dad who was also looking at us. I slowly walked towards him. I bowed as I approached him. "I'm sorry dad." I nodded and said. I looked up when dad suddenly hugged me. "At last you're back. I was dead worried Gabi. And forgive me too." He promised that I would cry even more. I hugged him back. I thought they wouldn't accept me anymore but I'm so relieved that they welcomed me happily again. My luck is with them. After that Uno's dad also came with Ma'am Jezel. And first, he was even more surprised because he saw me again but he was even more shocked when he found out that I was the woman he had been looking for for a long time. It immediately apologized to me. He even knelt down in front of me which I was embarrassed. That moment was so awkward. But even if he kisses my foot, I still hate him. I am a kind of person who is hard to forgive. When you do something bad to me, I can ignore you for a year even if you are still a friend. I just told him that my anger towards him has not subsided. But maybe someday, I can find forgiveness in my heart. As they left, my friends arrived. The first person who hugged me tightly was Trishia. I cried when she faced me and said she missed me so much. Lucas just said 'Welcome back' to me. I told them everything. "So Ae knows where you are?" Trishia asked and couldn't believe she looked at Ae fiddling with her cellphone. I nodded. "Why didn't you tell us? I thought we were friends? Why are you keeping secrets?" Trishia's emotional language while Ae still turned around. It stopped what it was doing and raised an eyebrow at Trishia. "She told me to keep it a secret. I was just following orders here, your OA." He says. "Wow, so you played the helpful friend act? How unusual of you." Luke's sarcastic language. Ae stared at him. "Coz it wasn't you. If it was you, I would never help you even if you were still paralyzed." Response by Ae. Luke immediately frowned. "You bitch. Who would need your help anyway?" Suppressing Luke's angry words. Ae just stared at him. These two. "Will you both stop it? What you're doing is not good for my baby." I sermon to them.
I never let either of them speak. Things are going well for me and Uno even four months later. We had a happy marriage. I also went back to Uno's mansion because our parents decided that we would be together under the same roof. Today is my friends "graduation day. We are all the same age but our courses will be different except for Trishia and me. We both take Tourism. I was supposed to graduate this year but I ran away so I have to repeat which is not a problem. I caught up with my friends there at the ceremony wearing their gowns and sitting in the assigned area of ​​his department. I'm sitting here in the back with Uno. The ceremony went well. And when it was over we were together. We plan to celebrate today. Everyone was proud because their suffering was finally over. We were on our way to the destination when we received news. We heard that Ae's aunt had an accident with her family. He said his wife and child died on the spot while his aunt was in critical condition. And because of that, we didn't go ahead with the celebration we were planning. ***** "I hope Ae is okay." I said sadly. She really loves her tita. I had planned to visit there but my mom told me not to go there. It's not good for a pregnant woman. Ugh Mom and her beliefs. "It's late you should sleep now." Uno said sitting next to me while fiddling with his laptop. "I am not yet sleepy." I complained and would have stood up to go cr when I felt the pain in my stomach. I immediately got caught up in it. "It's ten pm and it's not good for the baby if you stay up late." He litany still facing his laptop but I ignored it. The only thing on my brain right now is the excruciating pain I felt. I sat up when I couldn't handle it. "U-Uno, I think I'm going to give birth." I said while my stomach was still full. "No way, it's not your due date yet." He said still not looking at me. Sweat is already forming on my forehead. "I'm really going to give birth." I repeat as the pain subsides. But it still did not budge and continued what it was doing. My blood started to boil. "I told you, your due date is next week, the doctor said-" "SAY I'M GOING TO GIVE BIRTH, WHAT ?!" I could no longer restrain myself and with all my might shouted at once to stone him a pillow. I finally got his attention as well. He turned to me and was stunned to see my situation. "Hey what's up? You're stunned there? Take me to the hospital!" I sighed. My stomach hurts but here he is, just staring. He seemed to come to his senses. "Oh right, the hospital." Its habit of fading. He got up and confusedly took his car key and quickly got off. I try to calm myself down while waiting for Uno to do whatever he wants. But a few minutes passed and it never came back. I just heard the car function. My head got even hotter. What is he doing ?! Despite the difficulty, I got up with all my strength and went to the window. I opened it and saw Uno sitting in the car. "First what are you doing ?! Are you going to leave me here? You knew you before! I'm really going to kill you!" I shouted at him out of annoyance. He turned to me and hit me in the head. It quickly reads into his car and climbs back into it. "I'm sorry sweety. I panicked." He said but I just stared at him. He carefully loaded me and slowly descended. The housemates also woke up. He put me straight in the car and drove the car like a race. I was so grateful when we arrived at the hospital alive. The staff immediately took care of me there and went straight to a room. Uno just followed me while holding my hand. My stomach hurt even more and I felt like I was being cut in the middle. The doctor immediately prepared to give birth to me but Uno immediately stopped it. "You're the doctor here?" He asked the man standing in front of me who I thought would give birth to me. "Yes, sir." Answer it. "Touch my woman and I'll end your life, asshole." Uno threatens the poor doctor and blocks him. It was immediately frightened "I'm sorry sir, but the female obi is on leave. Just relax mister. I won't do anything bad to your wife." Trembling explanation of it. "Who cares? I won't let you do anything to her-" "L-I'll be out soon." I have difficulty pronouncing. Uno immediately came back next to me and held my cold hands. "Damn it." He only said that and looked at the doctor badly as if he was going to kill when he started to act because he had done nothing else and he couldn't stop it. After a few minutes of airing, my labor became a success. I immediately heard a child crying Our angel is here. I just close my eyes because of joy. To be continued...
