My eyes sparkled as I stared at the mangoes that Zach was carrying.
“Hello, pregnant woman! How are you?” He asked with a smile and placed the mangoes on the table. I didn’t waver any more and dumped it all.
“Won’t you even greet me?” Zach asked in disbelief. I ignored him and distracted myself by eating mangoes.
“I was gone for a week and when I came back today, you didn’t even greet me? You paid more attention to the mangoes I brought! Is that really what it’s like to be pregnant?” Zach’s turan found that I had a hard time.
“You’ve only been gone for a week, not a year! By the way, yes! This is what it’s like when you’re pregnant. My mango is more important than yours, isn’t it!” I joked and grinned.
He just shook his head and sat next to me.
“Your first trimester was very hard, aren’t you having trouble getting pregnant now?” This is a question.
I shook my head and smiled. “I’m not vomiting now, unlike last month. The doctor said that’s what it’s like in the first trimester. Good thing I’m four months pregnant now!”
“Good then… Aunt Eleanor told me that they will visit you here next week. She also asked me if you and Lia are okay here?” Lia is my helper here at home. maam Eleanor sent him here so that someone could support me during my pregnancy.
During my four months of pregnancy I was able to do it. The bulge in my stomach is also clear. Gradually growing. In my first months I was changing and struggling. Fortunately, my mother Eleanor, her husband, Zach, and Lia were by my side. And also for four months I had no news of Clyde. Even if I wanted to ask them, I couldn’t. I promised myself I could do without Clyde. it’s useless for me to communicate with him. All I knew was that he was still looking for me but he and Zach stopped him immediately. I don’t know why it’s still looking for me. I’m just a mean, mean girl to him. why would he bother to look for me?
“Lia and I are fine here. One day we worked together to arrange those plants in the garden.” Zach’s forehead immediately frowned at my response.
“Did you lift heavy ones?” He asked which I immediately nodded.
“No! of course only the light ones.”
“You should be doubly careful, Nathania. Always remember that you’re pregnant.” It’s a reminder that I grinned. I nodded and laughed.
“Yes sir!” He also laughed but suddenly his cell phone rang and we stopped it.
His face suddenly became serious and he stood up.
“I’ll just answer this call.” He behaved and left the house.
I distracted myself from eating mango again and turned on the TV to watch Spongebob. I don’t know but since I got pregnant, I’ve been watching Spongebob all the time. because he’s cute!
I was busy watching as Zach ran up to me.
“You need to pack your things right now, Nathania!” It seemed confusing to me that I was amazed.
“Ha why?”
“Just pack your things now! We need to hurry! Tell Lia to pack too!” he called someone on his cell phone which only confused me even more.
“B-Why? What happened-”
“Clyde found us! And they’re on their way here now! Now, pack your things and we’ll leave this place!” My eyes widened and immediately stood up.
“W-What? W-How? b-Why- “It cut me off again.
“Hurry, Nathania! We need to leave this place as soon as possible. Don’t forget to be careful, okay? Calm your self and don’t panick. It is bad for your baby.” I nodded at what it said and immediately headed to where Lia was.
“Lia, pack up.. hurry up. “I said to him. I was the same, he was also surprised.
“Ma’am? Why-”
“Just pack up! Do you understand?” He didn’t ask any more questions and went to his room.
I did the same. I have already started packing. I felt nervous. how did he track us down? How did he know I was here?
“Are you done? The car is waiting outside.” Zach appeared at my door. I nodded and closed my bag.
“Yes it’s done.” My answer.
“Good. I’ll just call Lia.” He said and left.
I went to the car parked outside. The driver helped me insert my bag I was carrying. Zach and Lia immediately followed. Lia’s belongings were put inside and she rode first.
“You ready?” Zach asked.
Nervously, I nodded.
“Let’s go.” its announcement and we finally got into the car. Lia and I were in the backseat. Zach was in the front with the driver.
“Drive.” Zach commanded the driver and the car started moving.
“W-Where are we going, Zach?” Question after a few minutes.
“I still don’t know, Nathania. the important thing is that we get stuck in Cebu today that Clyde’s staff can’t find. It already knows that you are in Cebu and I know that its personnel are now scattered all over Cebu. “I was even more nervous by what he said.
I didn’t say anything anymore and just prayed that our trip would be safe and that Clyde wouldn’t find us. I closed my eyes and prayed silently. But suddenly the car braked which made my eyes widen, at the same time Lia screamed who must have been surprised by what happened.
“F-cking shit!” Zach is cheap.
“Zach? W-What’s going on?” I asked when I saw that the car we were riding in stopped.
I turned to the front and my nervousness increased when I saw that there were cars blocking our way. Our car is surrounded.
“B-Why? A-What prompted-”
“They’re here. he’s here. He found us.” Zach said angrily. At the same time, the door of the first car blocking us opened.
My world seemed to stop when a man I knew well appeared. His face was serious when he finally got out of his car.
he stood in front of his car and looked intently at our car.
My heart beat faster and the drum became louder as I stared at the man standing.
To the man I know who is looking at our car angrily.
“Clyde…”
