NEXT DAY>
Yolanda woke up feeling much better than last night. She cried so much yesterday that she got sick from it and she was expecting to have headache this morning but…
She suddenly noticed the cloth on her forehead and took her hand to it, she slowly removed it, looking at it.
She made to sit up when she noticed the hand clasped around her waist, hindering her from sitting up. She turned to look at the person.
‘Miguel?’
‘What is he doing here?’ She thought, not remembering what happened last night.
‘How did he get here?’ She thought as she stared at his sleeping face.
He was really handsome, gosh. From his baby-like lashes which laid firmly on each other to his perfect pointed nose and then his lips which looked tempting and at that moment, he chose to lick his lips.
Was he awake? She thought.
“You can go ahead and taste it if you want he said and her eyes widened. He was awake!
Miguel slowly opened his eyes, wearing a mischievous smile on his face.
“Go ahead.” He said seductively and she gulped down nothing.
“Wh-hat are you doing here?” She asked nervously, she didn’t know why she was getting nervous… Like she was supposed to be angry with right?
He smirked before leaning closer, and slowly, he claimed her lips in his his… Kissing her slowly.
She responded as well, kissing him back, forgetting she was angry with him.
**
“I asked what you’re doing here?!!” She asked again, louder and colder than the other time and it jolted Miguel from his little world of imagination.
Gosh! She only woke him up and he started imagining the impossible at this situation.
“I… I’m sorry Landa.” He said.
“I didn’t ask for an apology… I only asked what you’re doing here, in my house and room!” She yelled, getting down from her bed.
“I came to see you last night and…”
“Just leave already!” She cut him off sharply.
“Landa please listen-”
“Out!” She yelled in a cold tone.
“Now that I’m still nice, leave.” She said calmly and he slowly nodded before getting down from the bed and began leaving the room sadly.
He stopped at the door and turned to look at her.
“I love you Landa.” He said before leaving the room completely and Yolanda released the hot tears which she had been holding in since.
d@mn!
“Why did it have to be you?!” She cried.
°°°°°
It’s been a week since the incident and Miguel and Yolanda had both been leaving apart.
It has been difficult for the both of them but Yolanda wasn’t ready to let go… At least, not so easily.
Miguel kept on coming to see her but she asked the security men never to let him in again.
She doesn’t wanna see his face, at all. Ricky was beginning to notice something off about everything but they wouldn’t tell him what was going on.
Tch!
“Ahh.” Yolanda sighed coming out of the bathroom. She was feeling the sudden urge to puke so she went to do it and that’s where she was coming from.
She didn’t know why, she was feeling dizzy, her head was heavy… She just began feeling this morning sickness three days ago, it’s frustrating.
She sat on the bed tiredly. She was even weak.
Nanny Clara came just then. She went to drop Ricky off at school.
“Yoyo? Are you okay? You don’t seem alright.” She observed closely.
“It’s the morning sickness again nanny.” She said tiredly, closing her eyes.
And nanny Clara sat beside her. She felt her temperature, before observing her eyes, then she pressed her B@@bs and Yolanda winced.
“And you said you’re not pregnant Yoyo.” Nanny Clara said.
“I told you nanny, I’m not pregnant… It’s just the everyday malaria.” She shrugged.
“Everyday malaria… Look at you Yoyo, you’re becoming busty, your appetite is that of a glutton, you’re always having morning sickness, you lose appetite easily, your mood is like that of a cheating boyfriend.”
“Nanny!”
“And you say you’re not pregnant.”
“I’m not.” Yolanda denied for the umpteenth time.
This symptoms has been on for two weeks now but it has been showing greatly in this particular week.
She doesn’t wanna believe she is pregnant, she was very scared and hopes it’s not true.
Knowing what she went through while birthing Ricky, she became scared of pregnancy… She doesn’t think she’ll be able to handle the nine months stress for a second time.
“We’re going to the hospital today and that’s final!” Nanny Clara concluded, leaving the room.
°°°°°
HOSPITAL
“The test result says you’re pregnant ma’am, congratulation.” The doctor said with a smile and Yolanda’s eyes widened.
“I’m… I’m pregnant?” She asked as if she didn’t hear well.
“Yes ma’am, congratulation.” The doctor said and Nanny Clara smiled at her.
“Thank you doctor, that’s such a good news.” She said to her.
“Yes.”
“We’ll leave now.” She said.
“No I can’t be pregnant.” Yolanda suddenly said and they furrowed their brows.
“What do you mean Yoyo?” Nanny Clara asked.
“Nanny you know what I went through the last time… Even the doctors said I might not be able to give birth again… I can’t be pregnant.” She said and nanny Clara sighed sadly.
She remembered, she had complications in her last pregnancy, she almost lost her life.
The doctor warned her not to take in again otherwise she might be endangering her life.
This was not good.
°°°
They were on their way back home, when a black car double-crossed theirs. Yesenia was the one driving the car, it came to a screeching halt and her head almost bumped on the steering wheel.
Yolanda and nanny Clara also bumped in the car.
“What is it?” Yolanda asked, looking up.
“Ma’am, I think we’re in trouble.” She said as two hefty men in the other car who overtook them, came down from their car and started walking to their own car.
“What… What’s going on?” Yolanda asked and before her mind could process what was going on…
The door of the back seat which they were seating on suddenly opened and a hand dragged her roughly out of the car.
“What are you doing? Let go of her!” Nanny Clara yelled coming down as well.
“Let me go!” Yolanda struggled in the guy’s hold but he didn’t react.
“You bàstard! Let go of me!” She yelled but the man didn’t listen.
They got to the car and the other guy opened the car door and the guy dropped her inside. She began struggling with him so he had to inject her with a sedative.
She fell unconscious in no time.
“What have you done to her? Help!” Nanny Clara yelled trying to push the man so she can see what was going on in the car.
The man pushed her away and she fell to the ground hitting her head in the process.
The two men got into the car and they drove off in a cràzy speed.
And that was when Yesenia came down from the car.
How no one was around the scene at the moment was what no one understood.
TBC…
