#2 Chapter 69
Will he invite me to be his partner?
“Can you be my partner? K-because no one approaches me, same as you.” He said more. There was not even a trace of him being ashamed.
Why are the others, it’s awkward for them to talk to their ex but he …
‘You’re nothing for him.’
Everyone knew we were Kent but they didn”t know that we already broke up. So maybe no one approached us because they thought we were partners.
“Ahh-ehh —-”
“If it’s okay with you.” He cut short what I would have said.
My heart is celebrating because I can be with him even just as a partner in work but my mind? It keeps on saying that I should move-on.
‘Easy to say but hard to do.’
‘What should I follow? Heart or mind? ‘
“N-no. Its o-ok. I don’t have a k-partner either.” I said.
‘Say what Nikita? If even talking to him makes you moan, how will you do your clearance? ‘Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
“Okay. Also, can I m-talk to you later?” He said that made my heart pound … EWAN!
“T-about what?”
“I just want to clear things up.” He says.
Now what does he want to say? Closure? No-no-no !!! But I badly needed it.
“Ahhhh, s-sure!” Yes, I’m trying not to be awkward here but I’m good in pretending yah knaww!
“Thanks.” She said smiling.
I turned my back on him because my tears were once again threatening to fall.
I ‘m still hurt. I know I’m still hurt.
Before I could move, my tears were already dripping. I wiped it off immediately because he might notice that I was crying again. And I know I shouldn’t be depressed because the baby might fail.
‘Baby, he’s your Daddy. I’m sorry if he doesn’t know you ahhh. I’m sorry if Mommy chose not to tell her because I might not see her happy anymore. I’m sorry baby. Mommy loves you so much.
I even wiped the helping tears from my eyes. I’ve been an idiot all day and even with my food I’m still not myself.
I try to think of what he will say to me later. I bet he will say …
‘Nikita, thanks for being a part of me. I loved you but I don’t know why when Lauren came back my love for her also returned. ‘
And this, go home and Kent is still behind me. I hurried to get my things ready when I felt him come closer to my seat. I looked up and saw him smiling again.
I just smiled at him and then slung my bag over my shoulders. We walked together.
He used to hold my hand as we walked but now, his hand is in his bag.
We used to make noise when walking but now, we still beat the pipes and it hurts when we walk in extreme silence.
“Ahm — I’m sorry about last week.” Suddenly he broke the silence.
“Why are you saying sorry?”
“Sorry for hurting you. I loved you but I don’t know why when Lauren came back my love for her also returned.”
Exact words that I thought he would say earlier.
“Hmmm. I-its ok, as long as you’re happy.” I said and smiled bitterly.
We sat on the bench near the gate. I’m already waiting for Hanz because the Wizard yin will get angry when I go home alone.
“Good luck with the man you love.” He told me.
Are you lucky
“I hope you become happy.” I said. I tried to be happy but I ended up looking stupid.
“Ah, hehehehe. I hope we’ll be friends. Friends?” He said with both hands.
‘After graduation, I’ll get away from you first. I don’t know if we’ll meet next time but I’m sure you’ll be married ‘when we meet and have a big child’ by any chance. Maybe our child already has a stepbrother or stepsister. I just wish we didn’t cross paths because I can’t bear to see you tied to others and carrying your child with Lauren. ‘
“Friends.” Smiling I said and held out his hand.
I ‘m sorry.
Nikita’s POV,
I’m at Kent’s house now because he picked me up at our house to do what we were asked to do.
Socialize Ma’am, she wants it bound so that the next batch can use it and donate the others to another school.
What did he think of us? Diarrhea of money?
“So as I was saying, we can use Rizal’s El Filibusterismo as an example because right, first is the one that will come and that’s right, Simoun came. Right?” He says. It’s sad because we’re really just doing the assignment here. That’s really the only reason why he sent me here. I don’t want us at home because he might be careful and say he’s my ex, that we had a relationship before. Knowing Hanz to just be quick to think.
‘What am I expecting? Considering that he’s my ex. ‘
Until now, I still don’t tell Hanz that Kent is my ex, the father of the child I’m bringing now because I’m sure he’ll get angry and I won’t be allowed to go with him.
Knowing Hanz, he”s being more protective when he finds out I”m pregnant.
