2 Become 1 (Nadech and Yaya)

Center of her Happiness

Yaya wakes up with the vibrating sound from a phone. she tries to reach it but is unable to. her whole body is entangled with strong arms, head, and legs of Barry. she feels like a shrub wrapped with vines.

she tries to untangles herself, but Barry's arms has a mind of its own. his grip becomes tighter, as if he doesn't want to let her go.
Yaya tries hard to reach for her phone and sees Henry's name.

this awakens her and the guilt feeling she's been harboring for quite sometime.

she waited for a few moments until she was able to move away from Barry.

her phone's vibration stops.
She needs to call Henry again and goes outside her cottage's balcony.

📞📞📞📞📞📞📞📞📞📞📞📞📞📞📞

Barry has not experienced having a long deep sleep for a long time.

He feels refreshed and wanting the same warmth he has last night.
but coldness greets him. he can still smell her on the pillows she used last night.

feeling like a teenager, he smells it and smiles.

he decides to wear his pants and look for her.

he hears her voice conversing outside the balcony.

I'll be coming home tomorrow. i promise. then he hears her chuckle. Henry don't be to hard on me please....
i love you ... is that okay? no?
i love you so much... only you. i promise.
be good..

Barry hears enough. He immediately goes outside. Furious.

Yaya's surprised, Barry grips her arm.

"Our bed is still warm and here you are talking with another guy? how many are we? you have Joaquin, and now Henry?"

"get off me, you are hurting me"

Barry then let go and looms over her.

"Foremost, you don't have the right over me. My affairs are none of your business" she is shocked at the accusations given to her.

"i own you!"

Yaya laughs. "You got to be kidding me? you own me? who are you anyway?"

"I own you the moment I laid my eyes on you. i own you the the moment I saw you wore the bracelet I've given you. I owned you again last night."

Yaya laughs sarcastically, "is that how you see me? a possesion?"

"if that is the only means for me to have you!"

"nobody owns me"  she walks past him.

He followed her.

"we are not yet done." this is the discussion long overdue.

"We are, five years ago, when you decided to choose your work over my child, our child."

"Never did I do, or thought choosing my work above you!"

"you killed my child"

"Have you not realize how your words cut through me. accusing me of killing my own flesh"

Yaya can't control her tears. "i know what you said to Dr. Lino"

Barry exhaled and looks angry and frustrated. he sighed. "All I said was for him to take care of you and our baby."

Yaya shakes her head "You never knew what i've been through"

"you left, how will I know"

"I don't want to look back"

"you returned"

"No, I did not. I never forced myself to be part of you" she cries and closes the room.

Barry decides not to push the situation. "Yaya, we are not yet done."
he said behind the door.

She hears him leave the cottage. She can feel his presence even behind closed doors. that is how he is to her.  she thought gone were the days she will feel this weak and vulnerable. Only him can trigger this emotions.
with Barry's parting words, She now fears what she has might be taken away from her.

If it means leaving the country and giving up this project so be it. She will explain to Mark and Kim. hoping they will understand.

Her phone again vibrates, she sees the picture of Henry.

she responded "Hello baby"

"Mommy are you crying?"

"No baby I am not, just a little cold."

"uncle Tony did not eat his breakfast. I told him its not good. just like you told me. He wouldn't listen. I told him that I will call you"

Yaya laughs. her child now is the only center of her happiness.
