FIFTEEN
JUST as Hunter begged Kyla not to leave, the witch stayed at home. She feels like she is the queen. Hunter took a vacation leave from work just to be with Kyla.
They always lock themselves in the room and they don’t let me in. I also don’t know what they talked about the night when Hunter left me.
Only the next morning. Everything is fine. And after that, I was just like air in their eyes, and I think it’s way better than we talk and end up in a bad way. And if they think they can force me to leave, then they’re wrong because I will stay in my husband’s house.
I envy Kyla, because I know I should be in her position. Sometimes, I see that Kyla is really pissing me off. She always teased Hunter, then they laugh.
They also go out of the house to go shopping. Kyla brings me a present, but when they turn around I throw it in the bin. I thought Hunter would get angry, but it looks like these past few days he doesn’t care about me anymore, and hurts me like hell because he’s already paying attention to Kyla.
I prefer that he hurts me, at least he talks to me. Rather than this that he doesn’t care about me. I need Hunter’s attention, and I don’t know how to get it. Mostly, now that Kyla is here.
Hunter, Hunter, Hunter, everything is all about Hunter. Maybe if Hunter tells me to risk my life or I should have to experience near-death, before he will love me. Even now, I will run to the road and I will bump into the car.
I will risk my life so that when I wake up I am the one he loves.
I just finished cooking breakfast. I don’t care if they eat or not. That’s their problem if they will think that I am poisoning them.
I decided to go outside to freshen up.
“Hunter, I will go out,” I said and carrying my bag and I couldn’t wait for him to answer.
I just want to get some air. Lately, I’ve realized that I’m always tired. I’m getting emotional too. My body wants to give up, but my heart doesn’t want to. My brain always says NO, because KYLA WILL DISAPPEAR someday.
In a cafe, I hang out. If before I always remember the happy memories that Kyla and I shared in a place like this, now I only remember what she said the night I faced her.
I didn’t know that Kyla was angry and jealous of me. I thought he really loved Hunter so she came back. But at least I found out early that even before she is secretly envious of me.
I realized that no matter how close someone is to you, you can’t still say that you know her or him very well. Time will come that you will still discover something about him or her, his or her real personality and even the secrets.
“Hailey?” I turned to the one who called me. It’s Asher. He was also carrying coffee and as usual, he was carrying notes. “Can I?” he asked as he pointed to the vacancy in front of me. I nodded to let him sit.
“You’re here too.” No emotion I say.
“Hmph! I’m always here,” he said then sat down. “Are you okay?” he asked worriedly that I just nodded.
“Of course,” I answered, Am I really ok? Why do I seem confused? It might be the effect of not going out of the house. I focus too much on what’s happening to me inside so I’m like this. So I no longer understood anything around and those in front of me.
Maybe this is also one of the reasons why Hunter doesn’t pay attention to me anymore.
“Need some advice or help?” I shook, then smiled and looked away. “Sure? Even if I say that I saw your husband —- with another woman.” I looked at him and stared. I want to say something but I don’t know what. I want to ask or find out something I can’t figure out. Until I feel like my eyes are blurring.
I was surprised because when he suddenly stood up and hugged me. “Shh! I’m a friend Hailey. I’m willing to help you. I’m not doing this favor because I’m waiting for a replacement. I just want to help you. I know you’re going through something.” It was only then that I realized that I was crying and I felt, every time Asher caressed my back, it was motivating that it is ok even if my tears ran out because I had sympathy.
“Feel free to cry, you can lean on me always.” Until I stopped when I feel like I had nothing to release.
When Asher released me I saw Kyla and Hunter standing not far away. Kyla smiled while Hunter seemed he wants to swallow Asher alive by the way he looks at him.Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
They walk towards us and stood in front of us.
“And who he is?” Kyla asked as they approached us.
“Hi, I’m Asher. I live next door to the couple’s unit.” Asher smiled and then stood up and offered his hand to Kyla, who in turn reached out. There was no trepidation in Asher’s appearance, perhaps because he knew his conscience was clear because we were not doing anything wrong.
“Oh! neighbor ha! “Kyla was trying to give some meaning.
“And you are?” Asher asked Kyla.
“Kyla, Hailey’s best friend.” She reached out her hand to Asher.
Later a young lady came to us. She had a bad look at Kyla and then she was shaken her head when she looked at Hunter.
“Ash, aren’t you done yet?” she asked Asher who was obviously frowning. We looked at her at the same time so I couldn’t escape her stare at Kyla.
“Ah! Yeah! sorry, I’m done, Agatha. By the way, this is Hailey, our neighbor, and this is her husband and best friend. “He introduced us. “Agatha, my sister. ”
“Hi,” she greeted me then smiled broadly.
“Hi,” I greeted back.
She only greeted me. She ignored Hunter and Kyla. I was surprised when she came to me hugged me tightly.
“Finally.” Even though I didn’t understand what she said, I just hugged her back.
“You looked familiar, have we met before?” Kyla asked Agatha.
“I am famous, so, everyone knows me. But I don’t think I know you, “she replied while looking at Kyla from head to toe.
“Have we met before?” Hunter also asked seriously while staring at Agatha.
“Once, and it’s for you to find out how and where.”
“Agatha.” In the tone of Ashers’s voice, he wants his sister to stop.
“Whatever, I’m out of here.” She rolled her eyes at them then smiled at me. “See you around sissy.” Then she leaves immediately. “Just call me when you’re done,
Asher.” Then she left and bumped into Kyla. “Loser.”
“Sorry for my sister’s behavior.” Asher’s apology.
“Do we know you?” Hunter asks Asher.
“Me, no, you don’t know me. But I am not sure about Agatha. Anyway, I need to go. Thank you for your time Ley, and see you around.” He bowed then left.
I nodded then smiled.
“Who is he, Ley?” Kyla asked me as if teasing. But instead of answering, I chose to stand up.
“Hey!” Hunter held my arm tightly, bent over because I didn’t answer Kyla.
I looked at his hand holding my arm. I remained silent until he voluntarily let go.
Will I be happy, because he touched me?
I WAS on my way home when I saw a private clinic in front of the mall.
When was the last time I checked up? I think before Hunter and I get married.
Before, Mom and I had an annual check-up, especially since many of the diseases are now spread and are contagious.
Since I haven’t checked up in a long time. I decided to go through the clinic for a check-up. When I enter, the receptionist approached me and the one nurse assist me.
She took my blood pressure, weight, height, blood sugar, blood test, urine test. She said everything is normal in God’s mercy. I didn’t make a general check-up since
I can’t undress yet and they might see my hidden bruises.
The doctor came and made me sit down. “Hmph, Mrs. Hailey Lewis. Actually, everything in your test is normal. But you have to be a little more careful. Your pregnancy is a bit sensitive.”
“What?” I was shocked by what I heard. “I am pregnant?” I can’t believe what he said.
“Yeah! Aren’t you aware, well, according here in your note, your two months delayed? So you’re not aware? For sure your husband doesn’t know either. “I shook my head and cried.
“Is there any problem?” He asked me again.
“No, I’m just happy,” I answered while crying.
“I understand, but as what I said, double caution.” I nodded at what the doctor said.
“Thank you doc.”
‘This is it, this is what I’ve been waiting for. I’m pregnant. Hunter, we have a baby. You will take care of me and make our child proud.’
We’re having a baby. We have a baby.
I hug the paper that proves that I’m pregnant l I’m happy to go home. I have little else to think about now but to go home, and tell Hunter the good news that he will be a father. Finally, the long wait is over. I will be happy with Hunter too.
He will now accept me and my dreams will come true. Hunter and I will be having a baby and we will build a happy family.
