Chloe POV
I woke up in the middle of the night while my fear again started hunting as if i did a murder. I don’t know why i ’ m still thinking about all this. I’m sure Jas will never make feel that way Ayla faced. Still I’m getting scared. I no longer want to be alone no matter how the situation is.
I looked at Jas who was sleeping soundly. I played with his hair when I rembered what I had talked about with her. It was still very clear in my mind. So clear as glass.
She told how much she was in pain and that she felt she was dying. I still rember the night when and her were talking about our pregnancy and how scared she was. She felt what if she died this ti.i still rember how much she was screaming that day when she finally returned ho after clearing all the misunderstanding.
It was so painful seeing her expressing how lonely she was when she gave birth to Ayla which I may not be able to understand the way she did. Because I didn’t give birth before so i don’t know. Then why the hell Aaron made her feel that way? How could he not receive her calls? How could he not care about his wife who can get into labor at any mont? How could he?
"Baby"
"You are awake", Jas woke up from his sleep.
"You don’t feel like sleeping?" He is still rubbing his eyes but still asking if I’m feeling bad.
"Let ask you sothing", I said. I’m no longer feeling sleepy.
"What? Are you feeling unwell? Should I call the doctor?" he is annoying for real.
"No!!!! Just listen to ok?" I said.
"Yeah I’m listening so say whatever you have", he said while i was hesitating still i asked, "Why did Aaron do it?"
I’m not sure if I’m doing it correctly or not but I’m still trying. I’m trying my hardest.
"What? I didn’t understand. Could you explain firmly?" I can’t believe he is yawning.
"I’m asking why he was not there when Ayla was in pain. Where was he when he couldn’t even receive her calls when she was clearly dying?" I said it. I didn’t show much of my anger which is ok but the sensation, the fear running inside is making my entire body tremble.
"So was it that made you cry?" he asked. I didn’t say anything.
"Was it what made you ask if i love you or not?" I again didn’t reply.
"Tell Chloe!! I want to hear. Is it what made you behave that way?" he asked. This ti I nodded in approval.
He sighed and pulled . He hugged for minutes. I have lost count just how long he continued to hold but it was long enough to say he has been holding for an hour now.
"I know what Aaron did was wrong but it was not what he wanted to do." he said and started narrating how he found Aaron and took him to hospital but still his action is clearly not justified. He could have at least asked Jas to look after Ayla if he knows that his phone is missing. Then why didn’t he? It’s not like Jas was going to refuse. It’s not like I was going to stop him for that. Then why?
"Now what?" he asked.
"No nothing", i didn’t ask him anymore but slept breaking the hug. But the sa fear is running inside . I know I don’t need to but it’s not like he was with for so many tis until this ti.
I was alone in school after the incident. I was alone in college too but only Eric was with . Then when I ca to et him in college, was he ever with until that ti when he tried to justify his behavior? No, I don’t rember. Then again the ti ca when I stayed with him for five years straight. But was that I can say he was standing by ?
I’m not sure again.
I clenched my fist tightly.
At morning
"You heard they are finally going to have a proper wedding", Jas said as soon as he got the news.
"Oh, I’m so happy", I said while touching my baby bump.
I did want to go to their wedding too but I was advised to only have bed rest which is becoming tiring and boring as hell. Should I sneak? No, I can’t. Even if I try I will get caught. I can’t even cross the hall in less than three minutes and till that ti all will notice and stop .
This is so freaking annoying.
"Chloe", he called.
"Yeah?"
"Is there sothing again bothering you?" he asked.
"No?"
"If there is then tell . I’m sure I will not make the mistake. You don’t need to worry about that so much. You know right?" He almost kneeled in front of , making chuckle but at the sa ti his last sentence made think twice.
"So we are ok now?"
"Yeah we are ok so don’t worry much." I said while ruffling his hair.
At the sa ti I got a notification on my laptop which was regarding my work. I took them to my room to continue my work.
I’m sure he went to his work as well. I’m actually relieved he doesn’t think much if I once say I’m ok. In the past he used to pester until i say yeah i believe him and I have to continue to hear his explanation for weeks, which is super annoying. I’m not sure if I’m having mood swings because of pregnancy or if I really think like this. I should believe what I think.
"Miss, your phone was ringing in the hall away", the maid ca and handed the phone which was from my work.
"Yes?" I answered.
"Chloe, you have to co to work", his voice sounded so stiff.
"Work? Why? Am I not doing things properly from ho?" I sounded the sa as him but more annoyed.
"No it is nothing like that. But there is an issue with the file you sent us in soft copy so you have to co."
"I’m sure you were at your peak pregnancy stage but it is really urgent. Hope you understand..." he sounded so pitiful making think of going to visit my workplace at least once.
"So when do I need to co?" I asked.
"If you can co here then it will be good", he said.
One week? Can I pull it off in a week? I’m not sure but I have to if it is really urgent.
"Oh ok i will be there this week", i said and hung up on him.
At the sa ti I dialed the call to Jas. I know he just left for work but still it is getting urgent for as well.
"Jas?"
"Yeah Baby, it is . Tell ..."
"I need sothing", I said.
"Is there anything you want to eat? I will bring you right now", he said in an excited tone.
"No, I don’t want anything to eat. And even if there is any I can send anyone to fetch it for . It is nothing serious but I have a different matter to discuss with you. You have ti right?"
"Yeah I have? But why do you sound so serious?" he said.
"Because it is." I said.
"Ok listen. I got a call from my work place."
"So?"
"So I have to be there this week. At least once I need to be there." i said.
"No you can’t." i knew it.
"I told you you can’t go anywhere. Doctor told you the sa as well. Don’t you understand?" He sounded mad.
"I’m not even asking you Jas. Why are you so freaking mad with ? You know it is my fucking work as well. I know how i feel and in what situation i ’ m in but it is really urgent so i have to go. You get it or not, I don’t care!!!!!!"
"Baby, I’m not mad. I’m just trying to make you understand." he beca calm the second seeing shouting but still I have decided I will go.
"I do understand too much more than you. So I’m going. And if you love then co pick up in two days." I said and hung up.
I know he will co to pick up eventually. I know he can’t stay angry with for much ti which is my advantage.
"Jas, i hope you wont even co after two days but you just co to see in a day", i kept on smiling all by myself but soon i got back to organizing my suitcase.
