QUESTIONS AND FAVORS

Duchess

"WHO IS IT?" I asked Yzana. She looked at me with hesitation. I sensed that she didn't want to tell me, so I placed my hand on top of hers. "Please, Yzana. Tell me who is he" I begged.

She took a deep breath, "I don't think that this is the right time to tell you, ate. But I can promise that I will tell you in the future. Just... Not now. You can ask me anything. Anything but that question. I don't know if you're prepared yet to hear my answer" She said, and I sadly nodded. She's right. I am desperate to know who my lover was, but I'm not ready yet. I guess I need to wait a little longer.

I remained silent and thought of a question to ask her. Then my eyes drifted to my flat covered stomach. I immediately looked up at Yzana, "If you can't answer my first question, then can I ask you if my lover and I had a baby? Or did I lose the baby when I got into a car accident?" I whispered the last part.

Yzana's eyes widened and she also looked at my stomach before looking back at me, "B-baby?" She stuttered and I nodded. I sighed and smiled sadly, "I had a flashback yesterday while I was at the studio. I was holding a pregnancy test then a few minutes later, my parents came into my condo and my father slapped me" I blurted out.

"I-I don't know about that though... You never mentioned anything about getting pregnant nor your lover did. I... I will do my best to find out about that, ate. But do you remember where your condo is? Do you still live there?" She asked me, and I stopped for a moment.

My eyebrows furrowed, "Thinking about it, no. My parents never mentioned something about me living in a condo, and ever since I woke up from a coma, my parents made me move back in our house since it'll be better that way. I'm not sure about that condo though. I just assumed that it was my condo since the surroundings didn't match anything in our house" I explained, and she nodded.

We continued to eat, and none of us spoke until we finished our meals. Yzana smiled at me as she placed her hand on top of mine, "I believe that you will recover very soon, ate. And I'll do my best to help you regain all of your memories back. Give me a call when you have another question for me. And if you don't mind, I'll help looking for some information about your pregnancy" She said and I nodded as I returned her smile.

We talked about random things for a while before I received a call from my sister, Sana. I excused myself and answered the phone.

"Hello?"

"Where are you? Mommy's looking for you" Sana said through the line. I looked at Yzana before turning back around.

"I'm having brunch with a friend. Why is she looking for me?" I asked her.

"I think she'll talk to you about something. I guess. Saffeyah and her brothers are here. We're going to have lunch all together so don't eat too much"

My eyes widened, "Is tita Esmeralda there?"

"Duh" I can imagine Sana rolling her eyes right now while holding her phone up to her ear. I grinned to myself, wanting to annoy her even more.

"Is Daeg—"

"Shut up already. I'm hanging up, bye" She interrupted me before I could ask her another question. Talk about the rudest person I have ever met, my sister will be the first one on the list. But what can I say, we're sisters after all.

I went back to our table with a smile lingering on my lips. Yzana raised an eyebrow at me, "You look so happy" She stated.

I nodded as I let out a chuckle, "I was annoying my little sister, Sana" I said.
