My 419 Nightmare

18. When Reality Comes Knocking

Kit's POV

I slowly open my eyes, feeling sluggish and disappointed. Why disappointed you might ask? Well... I didn't have a good sleep. As in no dream last night. Ugh... I miss my D... dream...

"Good, you're awake."

I turn to the voice getting me.

"Beam? What are you doing here?"

"The question is Kitty, what are YOU doing here?"

I finally realized I'm not in my room. I'm in a freaking... suite? But the bed and the monitor... what's with the tube on my hand?

"Beam?"

I can see my best friend worried face hesitate in front of me. I start to remember what happen. I was in my office, feeling sick and I called Phana. He asks me to go to Beam and... What else...

"You called me before you passed out, Kit. I rush you here."

"What's wrong with me, Beamie? Am I really sick?"

I can't hide my anxiety regarding my health. I can only assume the worst seeing Beam's face.

"Let's wait for Phana, na Kitty. Here, eat some breakfast. I brought you some porridge."

Beam continues to serve the porridge, forcing me to eat. I know I can't goad him into telling what happen with me so I let him serve me. I don't think I have much appetite but smelling the sesame oil from the porridge makes my stomach grumbles.

"You are not eating, Beamie? You brought two portion."

"They are both for you. Eat, you need your strength."

I eyed my best friend suspiciously, as he observed me cleaning up two portion of a large bowl of chicken porridge. I have a feeling that anything that he wants to tell me later, after Phana arrive will surely drain my willpower to live. I don't know why, I just do.

"Hai, Kitty."

The door open a few moments later. Phana enters the room, tries to act cheerfully but his face can't mask his worry.

This is it then.

The moment I'll receive the most devastating news of my life.

"Tell me."

They shared a look, hesitant.

"I'm prepared. Tell me, Beam, Pha. Am I... Am I gonna die?"

"NO!"

----------

Beam and Phana shout in denial, much to Kit's surprise. They can't blame Kit for assuming the worst as they also have no idea if this was a curse or a blessing in disguise for him. Phana nod at Beam, pulling another chair, sitting close to Kit.

"Kitty, you are not dying. Technically, you are not even sick..."

Beam start... But he has no idea how to continue.

"But..."

Kit patiently wait for his friend to continue. Beam bite his lower lip, unsure how to break the news on his friend. He turns to Phana trying to get some help. He got none.

"Kitty, whatever I'm telling you now, I hope you can remain calm, na."

"Beam... just tell me."

"Kitty, you're pregnant."

Kit's POV

I stunned a moment before I let out a laugh.
