Sorry guys for the late update. I was sick and I'm still recovering, so I didn't have the strength to write or update books.
“You don't want it, right?”
My question echoed in the silent room. The air around us became even thicker. Just enough of enough. I can't bear this silence anymore. My head was already hurting, and my heart was so heavy with the weight of his unanswered question. His jaw clenched when I asked him that question. His face still held that stoic look on his face.
“Drink the juice first. You have to take your medicine after that, he said in a firm tone, refusing to answer my question. Tears once again started to well up in my eyes, but I blinked them away. I don't want to look weak at this moment. I had made up my mind. My baby was going to come into this world even if he didn't want it. I am enough. I repeated the words that gave me hope all these years. I took a deep breath and refused to drink juice once again when he put the glass to my mouth.
“Grace,” he said in a firm tone when I refused to drink it again.
“No, first answer my question,” I said in a firm tone, and this time, his nose flared slightly, but he took a deep breath once again, not giving me even a slight idea of what was going on in his head.
“You want to make both of you suffer by not drinking it and taking your medicine. Have you forgotten what the doctor said yesterday?” he said in a firm tone, and it made me gulp in slight fear. He sounds even more serious now. I had no choice but to drink the juice and take the medicine. I was slightly surprised when he said that. I thought he didn't listen to a single thing the doctor said after she announced my pregnancy. The doctor had given multivitamins to me and the baby. I drank the juice and then took the medicine. Once I was done, he stood up, ready to walk away.
“You didn't answer my question, Erick,” I said in a firm tone while looking at his back.
“You should rest now. There is no need to go to the office today. I will inform Evelyn about it,” he said in a firm tone instead, without even looking back at me. I bit my lower lip when he said that. My heart was still beating so fast in fear because of how he was choosing not to answer my question. It was making me feel so uneasy.
“Even if your answer is no. I'm still going to keep it," I said in a firm tone when he was about to walk out of the room. I saw how his hold went tight on the doorknob when I told him my decision. His back went stiff too.
“If you have already decided, then my answer doesn't matter anymore,” he said sternly, and I could hear the same stoicism in his words. They even refused to give away what was going on in his head. I pressed my lips in a thin line. Saying that he walked out of the room. I kept staring at the closed door with a numb mind. I didn't know how I should react now. My hand wrapped around my stomach on its own. A jagged breath left my mouth while I rested my head on the bed rest. I looked at the ceiling with empty eyes. We are going to be parents. It was such happy good news, but none of us were happy. We both were drowning in each other's worries. He refused to talk, and my heart kept feeling the burden even more. I was refusing to admit it, but I was scared. I don't know how I'm going to do it, but I will learn. There is always the first time. I'm going to give all the love in this world to my baby.
“We are enough,” I whispered under my breath while caressing my still-flat stomach. Tears were welling up in my eyes, so I wiped them away with the back of my hands before they could fall. I had lost all hope of becoming a mother again, but God has given me a chance once again. He has trusted me once again, and I'm not going to break his trust. I'm not going to let his blessing stop me even if I have to choose the path where I stand alone.
“You are enough,” I whispered once again while caressing my stomach. This time I couldn't control my tears. They kept sliding down from my eyes, and I kept weeping in silence, afraid my baby would hear my cries. I kept crying until I couldn't. I was still exhausted, and the medicines made me feel so drowsy. I ended up sleeping in the same position. When I next opened my eyes, I found myself sleeping comfortably, and my body was covered with a comforter. I don't remember covering myself. I must have done it in my sleep. I yawn and then get out of bed. I took a shower and got ready. I can't sleep again, so I decided to do a little work. I checked my cell phone and found I had a message from Evelyn asking me to call back.
“Are you ok?” she asked me as soon as she picked up the call.
“Yes,” I said because she sounded worried.
“I was so worried when I got a call from Erick,” she said in the same tone. I can understand her reaction because Erick never calls her. I told her I was feeling all better. I decided not to tell her about my pregnancy for now. Even I needed a little time. As soon as I cut her call, I got a call from Lily. She asked us to join them for dinner tomorrow because my dad was cooking, and he had specially invited us. I was surprised when she said Dad was cooking. I didn't even know if he knew how to cook.
“I can't say anything about Erick, but I will come,” I said with a smile, not even knowing if he even wanted to come with me. I'm not even going to ask.
“No worries. I know he is a busy man, but you have to come. I'm even making your favourite chocolate cake,” she said, understanding. I exhaled deeply after cutting the call. I should at least tell them about my pregnancy. I don't know how I'm going to tell them when my husband isn't happy about it. How am I going to hide it from them?
Things are only becoming difficult for me.
