Another Fish Upon the Sky?

pi's parents find out about his pregnancy

7th week of pregnancy

Mork’s Pov

Stomping away and crushing the abortion pills in my hands, I feel a cloud of anger take over me. Not wanting to explode at Pi, I decided it was best to walk away for a moment to cool off. At the moment, I didn’t want to be stopped or didn’t care about anything other than getting rid of the pills. 

“Fuck.” I desperately cursed under my breath. I don’t know how to approach Pi regarding this. I never expected that I would get this mad at Pi. Of course we have had our small stupid arguments but never to this point of anger. 

Next to a table that I rest for a bit, there’s a trash can. I throw them away without a second thought. I tried my best with controlling my anger by taking in deep breaths. I was gaining back my senses. Now thinking back to how I yelled at Pi and the way his face dropped sadly, I felt a stabbing pain in my heart. 

I knew that I was wrong for treating him the way I did but on the other hand I knew I was not wrong for being mad. A wave of guilt washed over me and I decided to go back to apologize to Pi. 

When I went back, Pi was not there but Mueang nan on his phone was seated where Pi was at. 

“Oh-Mueang Nan what are you doing here? Where has Pi gone?” Mork inquired. 

“He was here just a while ago but he left crying. He just told me you two got into an argument before leaving. What is it this time?” He raised his brows. Ever since we started dating, we will always argue. Most of the time, it will be Pi who would either initiate the fight or would lose his temper first. 

Although he would have a short temper, I couldn’t help but be in love with him. Wanting to rip out my hair, I sat down for a second to think what I should do. I was deciding between searching for Pi and forcing him to talk to me or give him some space and let him come to me. 

“What happened?” He lay a comforting hand on my shoulder. 

“Don’t tell Pi that I told you or anyone about what I’m about to tell you,” I paused before continuing to tell Mueang Nan about our situation, “Pi is pregnant and-” I whispered at the end. I don’t want anyone to know about our business or otherwise they would gossip about Pi which will makes things worse.  

“Congrats!” he patted my shoulder enthusiastically with a huge smirk on his face, “but why is Pi upset about that. That’s great news!”

“Hold on, you didn’t let me finish. Pi is upset because his brothers and parents are going to be disappointed. You know how overprotective they are of him. Because of that he’s thinking of aborting. I found some abortion pills that he’s taking and he’s been hiding it from me in his backpack.” There was a moment of silence. 

“I don’t know what to say to that. Just be patient with him, try to put yourself in his shoes. He’s for sure wrong to going behind your back and aborting the baby. Go find him and talk to him calmly without any judgement.” Mueang Nan tried to console me with the best of his abilities. 

“You don’t think that’s what I've been doing? I’ve been trying to be as understanding as possible but Pi went too far this time. He’s never done anything behind my back. I’m not being taken into account in the major decisions he’s making towards our childI just lashed out at him without thinking about my own actions.” I spilled everything that was concealed in my chest. 

“I’m not saying that you’re not being understanding. I’m just reminding you. It will just make things worse if you take everything close to heart and act on an impulse. Go find Pi and talk with him calmly. I have to get going to class.”
