With a heavy sigh, I slumped back into Malachi's plush office chair, crossing my legs and feeling utterly exhausted from the overwhelming amount of work that has been assigned to me since the week started.
It's almost the last month of the second quarter, which meant that the company is experiencing a surge of customer demand.
Despite my fatigue, I delve into responding to the barrage of emails from potential clients inquiring about the performance of our services and how to sign up.
I then shift my attention to creating a presentation for the upcoming meeting.
While i focused on my task, i stole a glance at Malachi, who has his airpods in his ears, fully engrossed in whatever he's doing in his Macbook.
Ever since he found out that I wasn't pregnant, things has been weird between us.
It's as if a thick, impenetrable barrier had formed between us, making it difficult to cross over, especially since he refuse to open up to me and communicate about the situation.
And i am high key getting frustrated by his avoidance because it's putting a strain on our once-close relationship.
After Malachi emerged from the bathroom on the night when the pregnancy test came back negative, we went back into my bedroom and snuggled up together, watching a movie in an uneasy silence.
Eventually, I broke the silence to bring up the topic again and asked him if he's truly ready to start a family and be parents.
Instead of giving me a straightforward answer, he replied vaguely, saying that he preferred to take things one step at a time and that we would cross the bridge of parenthood when we get there.
He even said the same thing when i asked him two days ago and I got to realize that this is his default response whenever I brought up the topic, leaving me to derive to the conclusion that he actually wants to be a father.
As for myself? Well, I'm not sure if I am ready to take on the role of being a mother.
It isn't something that had crossed my mind before, as I was primarily focused on the happenings of my present life.
But with each passing day and with the reaction of Malachi's, it's making it hard for me to concentrate on anything else as the thought swirled around in my mind, leaving me feeling uncertain and apprehensive about the future.
