love through you

chapter 15

The ocean is calm. From the window, she can see the sun setting. She felt calm in this place were her mother silently died. She grew up in this island with her mom but refused to live after her mother died. Somebody knocked on the door. “Angie?” The voice almost shouted for her to hear. “Come in!” She grinned as she saw the woman who took care her and her mom for the longest time.
“I prepared something special to you and your baby!” The woman bent her knee and points her finger to Angie’s tummy as if talking to the baby and returned her eyes to Angie. “Let’s go?”

Angie sat on the chair at the dining table, it was a little harder for her to walk and sit because of the heaviness of her tummy. “Thank you, Vicky.” She said excitingly, She’s all smile.

“You know Angie, I’ve been with your mother since we were young, and she helped me and my family. So, these things are just little compared to those times she helped me.” Vicky sit next to her as she helps her get some food.

“You know sweetheart, it’s better if your husband is the one who’s caring you.” Angie smiled bitterly. “I’m fine. We’re fine.” She told her. “Where is he by the way?” She ate one spoon before responding to her. Funny, she doesn’t feel any grudge to Brad. He left her at the middle of everything. Haven’t met her almost 7 months while she’s heavy pregnant.

“I don’t know, maybe he’s at his work or some friends? I don’t know. And by the way we are not married, we never did.” Vicky caressed her shoulders, smiling at her. It’s one of the few things that she loves about Vicky. “What if he comes here, will you accept him?” She giggled with exaggeration and raised her right hand with the fork she’s using. “That is, if he comes but I really doubt that he even cares.” She made a little sigh. “And I’m sure, even if he comes, the reason is our baby. That’s what I’m afraid of.” They stopped talking as Vicky urge her to eat instead and not stress out herself by her negative thoughts. She had this awkward feeling that somebody is looking at her. She turned her head, left to right, trying to search if there are other people at the mansion.

“Why?” Vicky asked her. “I don’t know. I felt someone is watching over me. Is there any other people here?” Vicky denied. “Just eat, maybe you’re just tired from strolling earlier. And after that, I’ll prepare your milk then you can rest. Rest well, because tomorrow, your doctor will be here, alright?”

“Okay.” She smiled and continue eating.

Brad looks at the mirror and fixed his hair. He urged Vicky to go at the main market at the next island. At first, she refused but after he assured he would do nothing, she goes. It’s been 30 minutes since she goes out. “I’m sorry Vicky, but I had to do this, I think it’s time.”

He roamed around the mansion, every 3 in the afternoon, Angie goes at her own office inside the mansion. He knows her very well ever since Vicky let him in. He found the nursery room and smiled at the thought he will finally can carry his child. He found him sleeping but carries him, by the way.

“Hello Son…Do you know me?” Brad pinched the end of the baby’s nose. “I’m your daddy! Yeah…you look so much like your mummy. We can finally be together.” He smiled, he stopped when he heard the door opened.

“Brad?!W-what are you doing here?” He can feel the tension from Angie’s voice, He’s still not moving. “Give me my son…” He turned around when he heard her words. “Your son? You want him? Then get him.” His voice is not violent but enough for him to send to Angie what he wants. “Don’t call anyone. You don’t know what I can do, Angie.” He found nothing but fear in her eyes.

“What do you want? Give me my son, I’ll give you everything.”
He looks at the baby and smiled. “Within 15 minutes the helicopter will land here, prepare his things.”

“No. No! Give me my son!” She walks towards him and tried to get the baby, but he turned around against her. “You can’t have my son, Angie.” Brad placed the baby at his crib slowly, Angie immediately went to the kid, but he caught her arms and pinned her at the door. He looks at her eyes.

“Come with me and I’m going to forgive you and I’ll forget everything that happened.” He said calmly. He let go of her arms and kissed her on the lips, but Angie pushed him. “By the way, we’re married, and I have every right to have my kid and you. So just prepare his things, never mind yours, I made Kyle bought things for you.” Once again, Angie pushed him. He saw her eyes and expressions changed. “What?! Alright! So, what are your great plans, Brad? We’ll live together, we’ll raise the kid together? And at the middle of the night, you’ll go out and spend the rest of your night having sex with that Kyle?”

He embraced himself and lean on the door and grinned at Angie. “Don’t worry, I’ll do that with you.”

She turned around and get the baby bag and prepared the baby’s bottles and milk. He heard a murmur from her, so it isn’t clear what she said. He is smiling just by looking at Angie preparing the stuff of their baby. Suddenly, the anger and the hurt that he kept for months were gone. The only thing that he has right now is his love and desire for her.
