I woke up, feeling sore and needed to take a shower. After I came out from the bath, I heard Angel's cries through my baby monitor. I immediately dash into Angel's room and carried her in my arms.
"Why is my little princess crying?" I smiled at her. Angle played with her thumbs and hiccupped.
"Let's wash your face and we'll go downstairs for our breakfast, alright honey?" I smiled at her and carried her to the bathroom.
"Come on, Angel. It's your favorite oatmeal." I grinned and lifted the food to her mouth. Ding Dong! The doorbell rang. I placed the bowl down on the table and ran to the living room.
"Coming. " I shouted and opened the door.
"Pia! What are you still doing here?" Misha raised her eyebrows.
"What? " I rolled my eyes in confusion.
"You're supposed to be looking for your dress for your date tonight." Misha exclaimed.
"Err.. FYI, It's not even a date." I shook my head.
"I know you still love that man, you can lie to anyone but never me." Misha smiled.
"Come on, Angel! Do you wanna follow your mama to shopping?" Misha carried Angel from her baby chair. Angel squealed and giggled.
"But... " I said.
"No buts, Pia. Go change your clothes. Angel and I will be waiting for you outside. " Misha grinned and carried the cheery Angel with her.
"No Misha! That's too revealing. I'm a mother now. I don't need this kind of dress." I exclaimed as Misha brought me a short black cocktail dress.
"Come on! You're not just a mother. You're the youngest and the sexiest mother. " Misha chuckled.
"Toot you, Misha." I glared at her.
"Thanks a lot." Misha laughed and pushed me into the fitting room.
"Pia, you gotta believe me. You definitely looked stunning in this dress. You've gotta buy this dress no matter what. " I laughed as I saw Misha's jaw was hanging open.
"Nah, it's too expensive."
"Oh please, Pia. Don't be silly. Do you know how much this little's father here earns a month? " Misha said while pointing at Angel.
"Misha! Stop it please." I replied with angst.
"Oops. I'm sorry. It slipped out of my mouth accidentally. " Misha covered her mouth.
"Misha, please take good care of Angel." I begged.
"Do not worry, Pia. I will definitely take good care of Angel. She's my little daughter alright? " Misha laughed.
"Thanks. I'll be going to my diner then." I walked out the house.
"You... Looked... Absolutely stunning." Abhay stammered as I walked up to him.
"Thanks. " I smiled weakly. " Let's just get over with it now, shall we? " I smiled and opened the door of the car myself and stepped in. I know this is unlady-like. I know girls should let guys do everything. But seriously, I just wished tonight can go by as fast as possible so I won't have to see this man anymore. Honestly speaking, if you ask me do I still have lingering feelings for this man? I would say yes because I really do but now, Angel is all I ever needed in my life. I don't need anyone in my life anymore.
"May I have a set of fish and chips, baked pike with dill sauce, wishbone's dutch oven pork roast and sauerkraut and 5 pairs of fried chicken wings. Lastly, I would like to have Corn Salsa as my appetizer and chuck wagon cookies as well as Missouri bread pudding as my deserts. Thanks." I smiled and closed the menu. Across the table, Abhay's face was priceless. Huh! Serve you right! Imma make you regret asking me out for dinner.
"Same as her." Abhay ordered and handed the menu to the waiter. My jaw dropped as I realized he actually ordered the same dishes as mine? What is wrong with this man? " You sure know how to eat huh? " Abhay giggled.
"You gotta problem with that?" I said in a cold tone.
"No. Of course not." Abhay cleared his throat and stuttered.
"So... How have you been these 2 years?" Abhay asked.
"It's been good until the day you came into my life again." I looked up and told him.
"Jesus! Pia! Can you stop all this shit? Can't we just have a peaceful conversation?" Abhay blurted out.
"Fine. I'll do as you wish as long as you promised to never look for me after this." I said.
"Alright, I promised." Abhay looked down. I knew instantly he was sad. I'm sorry, Abhay. I just couldn't let you ruin Angel's life. You're going to steal Angel away from me if you know she is yours. I thought to myself.
"Oh my gosh! Is that Pia?" A familiar voice exclaimed behind my back. I turned around and felt for a minute as if the world is turning around.
"Maya?" I asked and stood up.
"Yes! It's been so long! I remembered the last time I saw you was at our previous high school. How are you now?" Maya hugged me.
"I'm..." I stuttered. " I'm fine. "
"How is your baby now? Is she doing fine? I felt so sorry since you stopped school because you were pregnant. " Maya asked.
"Maya..." I stopped. Gosh! Don't say anymore, please! He's going to know everything.
"It's been 2 years now. Have you found the father of your child yet?" Maya asked again. Great! He knew it already.
"Maya, can I catch up with you later?" I beckoned her eyes to look at Abhay.
"Oh! Got it! Goodbye then. Hope to see you soon again. " Maya waved and sat at the table with her partner.
I looked down at Abhay immediately and realized he was glaring at me now. God! This is not happening. Please! Tell me I'm dreaming.
"You don't have any husband, do you?" Abhay glared at me.
I have no choice but to tell him the truth. I didn't want to but I have to.
"No. I don't have any. " I looked down on the floor.
Abhay stood up immediately and paid for the bill.
"Let's go. We've got some talking to do. " Abhay seized my wrist and pulled me out of the restaurant.
"It hurts, Abhay! Let me go. " I shoved his hands away from me and ran away but he caught me in time.
"Don't... Don't you think of running away from me again. I'm not going to allow that to happen, Pia! " Abhay pulled me closer to his chest and stared at me.
Knowing that Abhay is going to take Angel away from me, tears immediately welled up in my eyes. Why did it have to happen this way? I knew I don't have the right to speak, that's why I shut my mouth for the whole journey.
"Please. " I mumbled so that he couldn't hear. I thought he was going to bring me to his house, but what I'd thought was wrong. He brought me back to my home.
"I want to see my baby girl." Abhay requested. The way he said ' baby girl ' made my heart pound.
I took the keys from my bag and led him to the living room.
"Sit first. Misha is babysitting Angel. " I explained. He listened to me.
Shuffling up the stairs, my heart was beating so loud I could hear it. I walked in the bedroom and found out Misha was playing with Angel. I took Angel downstairs after explaining the incident to Misha. Misha walked out the apartment and went downstairs. Her apartment was, few floors below mine.
"Princess Angel... Did you have fun? " I smiled at my little baby.
"Can I carry her? " Abhay stared at her and was unwilling to turn his head, afraid that Angel might disappear anytime. "Sure." I answered. Abhay took her over and looked into her eyes. It was as if time stopped at that moment and to Abhay, nothing else mattered in this world anymore as long as Angel was in his arms. Angel giggled happily in Abhay's embrace and touched his face with her small little hands.
"What's her name? " Abhay asked impolitely.
"Angel dobrial. " I stuttered.
"She named after your last name. " Abhay sneered sarcastically. " Seems like you really want me out of your life. Oh wait! Not only yours but hers too. My baby's life! How dare you... " Anger boiled in his body like a water in a hot kettle.
"Angel should go to bed for now. " I interrupted and took Angel away from him.
"Goodnight, darling. " I kissed her cheek.
"How dare you hide her from me! " Abhay pulled me closer to him so that I would look into his eyes when he talked to me.
"Abhay... " I wanted to explain but nothing came out.
"Nothing to say huh? I was wondering why did you run away from me the first time we met each other 2 years ago. Now I know why. " Abhay sputtered.
"Abhay, I'm sorry. But please! Angel is the only reason why I'm living now. Please! You can have as many babies as you can. I don't care. But Angel is my one and only baby so please! Don't take her away. I need her and she needs me as well. " I sat down on the couch as if my life depended on it.
"Pia, why? I don't get it. Why do you hate me so much? " Abhay knelled down in front of me and cupped my face. " Do you know how much I've suffered since you left me? Do you know how heartache I felt when I needed you the most and you weren't there? " Abhay took my hands and placed it on his chest." Inside here, I feel you. Inside here, the desire to have you is more powerful than anything else. It is burning so badly that it might explode anytime. Do you have any idea how much I need you, Pia? " Abhay sobbed. For the first time in my life, Abhay cried in front of me. No matter how hard his life or work has been, he'd never cried or sighed or even whined in front of me. But today, tonight, he cried, and sobbed like a little child.
"I'd never want this to happen between us," Abhay.
"I'd never expected it to happen either. But it just happened. So quickly that I regretted but couldn't turn back time. If I'd known I was pregnant, I would have stayed by your side. But now it's too late. Everything is too late. " I sighed and tears started to stream down my cheeks.
"No... No! It's not! " Abhay seized my wrists so tight it hurt me. " Please! Let me compensate these 2 years time that we have wasted. Share with me all your agonies and pain that you have felt for last 2 years. I would do anything to be with you and our baby. It's not too late yet. We have something with us. Angel, our baby girl. " Abhay explained and clasped me to his manly chest, like a ferret on heat.
"Abhay... " I sobbed in his embrace but he pulled me away from his arms and lowered his head." No, Abhay. " I refused.
"Shh.. I've been waiting for you for so long. I've been wanting you since the last night we had." He placed one finger on my lips and beckoned me to stop talking. I lowered my head so he couldn't see me blushing. But he caressed my supple cheek, lifted my chin and our noses almost touching. I could feel the warmth of his breath brushing at the top of my lip. I looked into his pale blue eyes, parting my lips slightly. I leant towards him, yielding to the soft strength of his kiss, that engulfed me, gaining my strength until I found myself wrapped up to him - body, heart and soul.
I knew I had to be with this man no matter what. Not only because I love him and he is the father of my child, but because he needs me and loves me too. I knew deep down in my heart, I still love this man.
**************************
I woke up and found Abhay was sleeping beside me. So peacefully and so baby-like. I lifted my hand up and caressed his eyelashes, his nose, his lips, his cheek, his jaw and his cheek. All of them meant everything to me. This man is my life. I can't deny it anymore no matter how much I want to. I love him so much I'm willing to do anything for him. I reached for his neck and hugged him tightly. I don't want to let him go anymore. I was so scared that I shivered and Abhay woke up immediately.
"Pia? What happened?" Abhay held tight on my shoulder and his eyes bored into mine anxiously.
"Abhay, don't leave me again. Stay with me forever. I don't want us to be apart. I don't want to be a single mother. I want Angel to have a father, a perfect family to rely on." I cried in his shoulders.
"Pia..." Abhay took me away from his shoulder and traced my bottom lips. "I'm going to Paris in the next 2 days." Abhay said.
"W-What?" I widened my eyes. I couldn't believe it. Just when I told him not to leave us again, he said he's going to Paris?
"You're leaving again?" I jumped out of the bed and shook my head. "Why is it always you who leave me? Why am I always the one who have to suffer the consequences? Why does people always abandon me?" I touched my head and tried to think hard.
"No, Pia. You didn't even give me a chance to finish my sentence. What I meant was... I'll be going to Paris for work and I want to bring both of you there." Abhay explained. I looked into his eyes with confusion and didn't know what to do or what to say. "It was all my fault. I'm sorry I made you feel this insecure. I'll never leave you again. So please, come to Paris with me. We'll build a perfect family there and raise Angel and live our peaceful life. Nobody is going to disturb us there." I begged and pulled her into my embrace.
"But... What about Misha? " I stuttered.
"Misha has her own life. She'll have a family soon too. We shouldn't bother her any longer." Abhay smiled weakly and sounded as if he was scared that I might reject him and insisted that I stay here. I still didn't know how to answer him. It was all too sudden and too quick. But I didn't want us to separate either. There's so many questions popping out in my head like a thousands of math questions. Should I go? Or should I not go?
"Pia, guess you leave me with no choice." Abhay shrugged and fumbled for something in his pocket.
"Abhay..." I wanted to answer but nothing came out when he knelt down in front of me.
"Pia, will you do me the honor of being my wife? I'll make you the priority of my life. I'll do everything for you and our little baby girl. I know I'm a selfish man." Abhay took a velvet box and opened it up. Inside there was a beautiful diamond ring. It was the most beautiful ring I had ever seen.
"And greedy." I laughed through my tears.
"So... Your answer is?" Abhay asked. I could sense his nervousness as he inhaled deeply.
"Y-Y..." I couldn't answer. I wanted to answer him but my emotion took control. Therefore, I only nodded to him. He immediately stood up and carried me like a princess. I buried my face in his neck, half laughing and half crying.
"I love you, Pia." Abhay whispered in my eyes.
"What?" I widened my eyes and he landed me on my feet.
"I love you." Abhay grinned widely like a happy child who got his lollipop.
"Can you say it once more?" I asked. He repeated it and kissed my lips.
"No, say it twice." I laughed between our kisses.
