CHAPTER FIFTY FIVE

(LARONA's POV)

My mind deeply struggled to make sense of what I just saw from Zain's office. Being livid is an understatement. I was hurt by such betrayal to a man who I thought was the one for me. My health does not deserve such stress caused by a man's infidelity. I drove back to my temporary place to pack again my belongings and just go live back home. My idea to surprise him definitely made me to be the one who's surprised. There was no way I could allow myself to cry over him. This was a clear decision that what we have is officially over. After spending some hours packing my clothes and other necessities, surprisingly Zain managed to find where I was and barges inside my apartment.

"Larona please don't go." He instantly begged feeling remorseful. I ignored him and kept on packing up. He comes closer to stop what I was doing which made me to look at him with complete disgust. I smacked his hand away from attempting to touch me. This made him to nervously study my reaction while maintains eye contact. "Don't even think that you will bother yourself explaining to me at my time to leave this place." I warned him. He shakes his head while places his hands over it. Shortly after that, he had the courage to talk about what happened.

"She came over to seduce me right after telling me that our families are planning to have an arranged marriage for myself and her. " Just from listening to his sentence, I looked at him with anger and grabbed one of my perfumes that he usually orders for me to attack him by throwing it. Zain quickly dodged from it which ultimately breaks in pieces. "Okay! I get that you are angry but choosing violence while you're pregnant is something I won't tolerate even if you're trying to be spiteful. Just stop being provocative with me right now and let's have an adult conversation!!" Zain snapped at me.  I immediately burst into laughter from receiving his words and my attitude for this conversation was on set.

"An Adult conversation you say? Well okay, let's have it. I am very disgusted, and my eyes cannot stand the filth that you have devoured yourself with. You made yourself to be available that her cheap scent is all over your clothing which made that mouth of yours to be less than appealing for my hormones to even like you again. So, step outside of my place and never bother me again." I stated strictly while looking at him. He blatantly stares back and had this to say, "Alright I appreciate your honesty with that, but I am not going anywhere even if you made yourself clear with how you feel right now. Listen, I love you Larona and I promise you; my story isn't a back-up plan to cover up or even lie to you. Thandeka was wrong over what she did, and I wish there was a better way to clarify this mess. She surprised me when she came over to disclose her feelings for me." 

 "YOU KISSED HER!! She was all over you and you did NOTHING!! " I shouted at him.  Silence began to fill up our space while we have paused from going back and forth. Zain felt defeated from this conversation. All he can ever do at this point was to look at me with sad eyes before he feels ready to leave me alone for good. "You're right. I did kiss her. Honestly, I felt like I was controlled by something that even me, I cannot make sense out of it. If you still believe that I did this on purpose, then I deeply apologize for the hurt it caused you. Please don't take away my right to be a father of our child in future. " He softly explained himself.

I tried to prevent my tears from crying. Slowly and surely those tears exposed themselves on my face. My heart felt heavy with sadness and i deeply wanted to believe him. However, my mind was against my emotions with a clear thought to end this relationship. I started sobbing while standing in front of him which he couldn't take another moment seeing me in this state. He slowly starts to walk away without wanting to upset me any further. Seeing his body leaving me was heartbreaking and I felt like I was losing my soulmate over this kind of mess. My gut feeling suddenly alerts me to keep him before I lose him to Thandeka forever. This was the moment I controlled myself emotionally and manage to get Zain's attention before he officially leaves this apartment.

"Please stay!!" I sincerely spoke loudly enough to make him stop from walking. From where he was standing, he turns around to look at me which gave me an opportunity to speak again. "I am sorry for my violent behavior earlier. Zain, even though I am deeply upset with you about what I saw, it would be dumber of me to just walk away from our relationship without at least fixing where we went wrong. I'm pregnant with your child and I wouldn't want our baby to be raised separately because of Thandeka." 

"Look Larona, you made it clear that i must go and never bother you again. I rather respect that than this because there's no way I will feel at ease knowing that your feelings will dictate my heart based on your behavior. This relationship is about us and was never about yourself alone or even myself alone. If you cannot respect my presence like how i am still willing to respect your presence even though you are acting violently crazy, I will choose to leave peacefully and go on with my life like a normal man." Zain responded without showing any emotion. "Please Radebe I'm really sorry. I was fucked up and i really feel bad about how i behaved." My soft voice yearned for him to stay with me. He wasn't convinced just as yet but he remained to hear me out. Before I could say anything else to him, I searched my bag to give him something. "What is this?" He gently asked me and decided to open it.

"This is a letter from the doctor that I went for scanning my pregnancy before i came here to surprise visit you. It details what gender we are having for our child." I softly explained it to him. By then Zain reads through the letter and finds out the biggest news of his life. His eyes became glossy while his heart was warming up to what he just read. He kindly looks back at me to say,

"We're having a daughter. Princess."
