Sometimes I even wonder what potion Monica used on Azriel just so I could use it on him and get him back to me.
I'm 2 months pregnant, my belly isn't that big yet and mommy still doesn't know that I'm pregnant because I'm afraid she'll tell Azi, knowing her, she might attack Azriel just to force her to get back with me.
"What happened?" Mommy asked, she was already eating breakfast and she must have noticed that I hadn't eaten yet.
"Why are you covering your nose?" He asked more. "Don't you like the foods?" He said as if sulking, I laughed weakly before spooning food even though I smelled, is this really what it's like to be pregnant? It's a shame that it's my favorite and I can't eat it.
I hold my breath every time I take a bite, I feel like I'm going to throw up because of the smell, I really can't.
Mommy looked at me when I put my plate away, she smelled the food because I didn't let go of my nose.
"Are you okay?" He asked, he came closer to me to check my forehead and neck, my god I'm not sick!
"I'm fine p-" I ran after throwing up, mommy followed me until we reached the sink.
I can see the raising of her eyebrows, I know what she's thinking, my mom is not dumb.
"Are you not telling me something?" He asked, It scares me.
"No mom, you're overthinking I'm just vomiting because I drank last night." When I lie.
"There's no bottle of wine in your room, huh? You went to bed early last night, but you never know how to lie, Jade." He shook his head before taking out his cellphone, I was quick to grab it but he just held it up so I couldn't reach it.
"Okay, jump." He challenged me, I sneered at him then I was about to jump but he immediately stopped me.
"Are you out of your mind do you want to be filmed again?" He said stressed, I laughed at him before the captain's shoulder.
"I'm not." I refuse, she continues dialing to her phone trying to call our family doctor.
"Yes this is Mrs. Guaren, I want to talk to Mrs. Vejasa, it seems like my daughter is sick." When he talked on the phone, I ran until I got back to the dining table.
"Wait for the doctor, Mrs. Vejasa is not around, she is in another country, so let's just wait for their temporary family doctor to assist us, just don't tell the doctor that you are pregnant, I'm telling you Jade! I'll slap you myself your spouse." He threatened, I simply made him suffer but inside me, I really want to do nothing because I'm nervous about mommy.
We waited for a few more minutes, I could feel myself sweating because of the nervousness, of course the doctor will find out that I'm pregnant. I have nothing to lose here.
"Ma'am, Sir Azriel is outside, shall I open it?" When our assistant asked for permission, my eyes widened before running upstairs and hiding in my room.
"Jusko what is he doing here." I whispered in the air while leaning against the door of my room, I took deep breaths to calm myself down, excitement, anger, pain, I don't understand what I'm feeling, all I hear is his name and that's how I immediately react. so when I saw him?
"Jade open this door." I heard mommy's knock, I straightened myself up before opening the door a little, I peeked to see if anyone was with her but there wasn't, I was about to open it big when Azriel suddenly came behind mommy so I tried my best to close it again but Azi is stronger than me that's why he opened the door.
"What are you doing here?" I asked trying to hold my anger and tears.
I thought I wouldn't cry when I saw him.
See you never, don't you? What is he doing here?
He didn't answer my question, instead he just walked closer to me wearing his serious expression.
I couldn't do anything but retreat, because I might just slap him if I didn't stop myself.
"Azi please get out." I said calmly, he reached my hand before pulling me to the bed.
"What happened to you? Are you sick?" He asked, I heard the worried tone on his voice trying his best to hide it with his cold voice.
"Nothing, even if I'm sick. I can take care of the " I stopped after he put the back of his palm on my forehead and neck, trying to check my temperature.
"It's not fever, tell me what happened?" He asked, he tried to reach my hand but I refused it, I looked in another direction and did not answer his question.
He grabbed my chin and held it in front of him before looking me straight in the eyes.
"What's wrong? We've only been apart for a month and it hurts." He sighed before looking around my room.
"I'm not sick." I answered bravely, I looked in another direction so that he wouldn't see the tears forming in my eyes, even if I wanted to tell him that I was pregnant, I couldn't.
I looked at the side table of my bed, my eyes widened after seeing the pregnancy test on it, wait, how? You're really bad, Jade!
"Now I know." He said seriously while seriously looking at the pregnancy test, I felt scared, I want to send him away because I can't stand his presence anymore.
"W-What are you talking about, go away Azi!" I pushed him away, I stood up on the bed so I could push him out but I almost lost my balance when he suddenly pulled my waist closer to him, he grinned before lifting me back to the bed.
"Azriel what the hell! Go away!" I shouted at him, almost crying, I can't control my feelings, I feel like I'm going to explode because of the mixed emotions I'm feeling right now.
"You're pregnant." He said seriously before looking down at my stomach, I immediately pushed his face away from me.
"That's not mine!" When I lie, he raises his eyebrows before doing that downward smile that makes him look cool.
"Whose? Your mom's?" He asked sarcastically, I tortured him before shaking his head, why is he acting like this? Why doesn't he get his girlfriend pregnant and that's what's bothering him?!
"To my friend." I answered proudly, I bent down to think of answers to the other questions he would ask.
"Lies." He said before touching my chin to align it with his face. "In our 11 years together, I know when you're telling the truth or when you're lying, so tell me, how many months has it been?" Wrinkled when he asked, I raised my eyebrows before answering his question.
"What are you doing?" I answered annoyed, he took a deep breath before wrapping his arm around my waist and pulling me closer to him.
"I'm patiently asking you Mrs. Sevar-"
"Correction, Ms. Guaren." I cut him, I felt that he was not happy because of that, why? He is the one to blame, isn't he? I loved and served him and then he asked me to replace him with a woman who couldn't tell if she was a snake or a human.
"Fine, but why did you still wear those rings?" He asked while looking at the rings on my finger, I looked at his finger that I wish I hadn't because it felt like I was stabbed with a few hundred knives after seeing that the wedding ring was gone.
Where are you? Thrown away?
Is it that easy for him to take it off? Because it's not for me, I can't do it yet, but I cannot blame him, we're not married anymore so what's that ring for?
I looked at the ring before taking it off right in front of him.
"Here." I said before handing it to him, he seemed surprised by what I did and didn't respond immediately, I forced his hand to open before letting him hold the two rings he gave me.
Finished
Azriel didn't leave my side until late in the afternoon, he ate there too, mommy wasn't mad at him, in fact we were shiniship again, like children.
Azi, on the other hand, is still teasing mom, you think she really enjoys teasing us and she almost threw up on me when she was making me sign the divorce papers.
"Don't move!" I complained when he moved the show, he's watching basketball. We were like this at our old house, every time I watched a drama he would change the channel to watch basketball.
I stood up before grabbing the remote from him, I returned it to the drama I was watching, I quickly burst into tears because the hero was about to leave.
I noticed that Azi was just looking at me while I was crying, I also felt that he was suppressing his laughter so I gave him a bad look before throwing a pillow at him.
"Apples." I snorted before going back to crying, I didn't stop until the show was over, as long as the show was that long Azriel was staring at me.
"You're not going home yet? It's late, maybe your Monica is looking for you." I said sarcastically while making my bed.
"I'll sleep here." He answered. "I won't leave until you admit to me that the pregnancy test is mine." I stopped fixing for a moment before facing him.
"Then what if it's mine? How are you sure you're the father, hmm Azi?" I said defiantly, I backed away when he approached me.
"W-what are you doing? I'm going to sleep Azi." I said while continuing to step backwards.
I didn't notice that the bed was behind me that's why I almost fell after I couldn't balance, Azi reached my back and kissed my forehead before helping me to stand up.
"Your eyes only looked at me like that Jade, good night." I couldn't move because of that.
Why is he doing this? If he is doing this for the child, he should stop because little by little I am hoping that he still loves me, that he will still come back to me.
Azriel also left that night, someone called him and I saw the name on it, it's Monica, one call away.
Well yes, he already knows I'm pregnant but nothing seems to have changed, he's still my jerk ex husband who always prioritizes his mistress over me or over his own child.
I slowly lay down on my bed, the smell of his perfume clinging to my pillow then in one snap, I found myself crying while hugging that pillow, I missed him, I badly missed him.
2 months is not enough for me to get over to our 11 years relationship, I badly want to escape, if it's possible that when I wake up I will be totally healed and the pain I feel is gone.
But it's not like that, if I'm not even in the first stage of the 5 stages of moving on, I haven't even accepted that we're separated.
"I'm sorry." It was Azriel, he was trying to reach for my hand but the wind was trying to push him away from me. "I love you." The last words he uttered before he completely disappeared.
"Azriel!" I shouted when I got up, what was that? a nightmare?
I was holding my heart because of the speed of the beat, I can't explain this feeling.
"What happened?" Mommy asked before quickly approaching me, I helf her hand before crying on her chest.
"Mom, can you call Azi?" I was nervous, he nodded before taking out his cell phone and dialing Azi's number there.
He immediately answered the third ring.
"Hello there." Monica responded sweetly, Mama suddenly looked at me, she didn't know everything about her, she didn't know that Azriel had a mistress.
"Who's this?" Mom asked.
"Azriel's girlfriend, why? Wait, who are you?" He didn't show any respect, I was annoyed and grabbed the cellphone from mom because of that.
"Where's Azi?" When I asked him a question, he laughed a little because he must have heard my voice.
"Hey there, Jade, did you miss me?" When his tone was annoyed.
"What brand of make up do you have? You have such a thick face! Where is Azi?" I'm in love with this girl.
"He's taking a shower, ah wait ah he's calling me because he said we're together. Bye." He laughed softly before hanging up, the earlier annoyance was replaced by depression, why am I w-worried about him? it's just a dream. Why don't I think of myself first before Azi?
