Past Sins

Part 10

The rest of the days were spent at home with my Nana helping her pack her stuff for the cruise. Friday finally came and she was all excited to leave.

I sat down with Nana to have breakfast that morning , I was sulking as I ate my food. She kept telling me I was going to be fine and that She will be back before I even notice.

After breakfast I tried as best as I could to help her get her bags downstairs even though she protested.

"Zana you shouldn't be lifting things in your condition"

"I'm totally fine Nana, besides the bags are not that heavy"

I lied as I set the bag down. She was right I shouldn't have lifted it, I was exhausted and out of breath when I was done.

Soon Mrs Amelia was going to be here to pick her up. My hand unconsciously went to my ring finger as I stood there thinking of the one who had placed it there. He was on my mind a lot lately, and I didn't like that. I couldn't get him out of my thoughts.

The ring felt foreign to my finger, I was still getting use to it. I let out an audible sign as I walked outside to sit on the swing in front the porch. I sat down staring at the beautiful sunny sky, enjoying the view and the solitude.

"I can't wait for you to enjoy these simple pleasures of life"
I said smiling down at my tummy as if the baby could hear me. It became a regular habit of mine, talking to the baby. I rocked back and forth in the swing with my eyes closed until I felt a presence beside me.

"You both will be in good hands. You are married now, even if it's a loveless marriage try and establish a friendship with him. For the sake of this child"

"Alright Nana" I said with my eyes still closed.

We enjoyed the company of each other in silence. It didn't last long as it was interrupted by a car pulling up in front of the house. I opened my eyes to see Mrs Amelia walking towards us on the porch.

"Hello Zana, how are you doing" she asked as she pulled me in for a hug.

"Beautiful morning, isn't it Everdale." She directed at my Nana.

"Yes indeed. Amelia. Will go grab my bags then we can go" my Nana made a move to go inside but was stopped by Mrs Amelia.

"Don't worry yourself, the driver will get it"

Mrs Amelia signaled to the driver to come over and gave him instructions to get my Nana's bags and put it in the car.
After everything was put away, I walked with my Nana and Mrs Amelia to the car.

"Don't worry Zana, Alex will come pick you up this evening. And I will take good care of your Nana for you" Mrs Amelia said to reassure me.

"I know you will. I will miss you guys soo much." I hugged them both.

"Will call and FaceTime with you as much as I can. Okay" my Nana said with a smile.
I watched them get into the car and it drove off. I waved till the it totally disappeared in the distance before making my way back to the house.

I already felt lonely as I made my way to my room to sleep. I was officially on break from work, Kyle's orders. Having nothing to do was frustrating. It meant I had lots of time to think and worry about unnecessary things.

I stripped out of my dress with only my bra and panties on and then got into bed. My hands went to my breast to massage them, they were getting bigger and painful to touch these days.

As I laid in bed I lifted my ring finger to the air and studied it. I was still mesmerized by the beauty of the ring. Too bad I was returning it to the one who gave it. Sooner or later. I positioned myself on numerous pillows trying to get comfortable. It was getting hard to find a comfortable position to sleep in and my bed no longer felt cozy.
