58. The Heir
I bury my face in my palms and cry, ignoring his parents' presence in the room. I didn't know his hate for me was that strong.
"Honey, what are we going to do now?" I hear Katherine's low voice.
"I don't know. I'm so confused. I knew there was something going on between them." His husband answers.
"Sanaya, explain everything to me." Matt demands.
I uncover my face and looks at him with watery eyes, "I'm not lying. Do you want me to abort the baby? Please give me some time to think about it."
"Why my son is denying?" Katherine comes forward.
"I don't know. Believe me, I'm telling the truth." I implore, sniffling.
I think about Samara. Where is she? Did she know about it already? If she'll find out, she will surely fill up Ashar's mind against me again.
Matt rubs his forehead, "Let your baby born."
"What?" I thought I misheard him.
"I think you're right." Katherine agrees, looking at me. My brows furrow in bewilderm

Matt kept his words. I begin receiving different treatment from Ashar's parents. I'm told to transfer my belongings to the room, offered to me previously; the room that has a king-sized bed. I'm still not used to it. My phone now remains with me and Aaron has also stopped following me around. I got my space and privacy. However, he does work for me as a driver; pick and drop me to and from college. I tried convincing Katherine that it is unnecessary, that I'm more comfortable in Melanie's room, but she eventually persuaded me that it would be good if I get myself a permanent room where she can come and see me anytime. Their change of behavior I would say something positive that has happened in a long time. It's like a relief from continuous struggle and stress.

"I'm sorry, Mel. But I couldn't tell you the truth." She has brought me to her room and made me sit on her bed. "This is too much to swallow. How is this even possible?" She reacts with shock. "It's possible. I'm living this way every single day." I whisper. I want to weep or maybe scream in frustration. Samara has filled Ashar's mind with so much hatred for me that he's not ready to see the truth from his own eyes. He is seeing me through her eyes, the way she has portrayed my image in his head. "Tell me everything, darling." She caresses my cheek which is still burning due to Samara's physical assault. She grabs the ice bag and put it on my cheek. This time I did explain everything to Melanie, from the beginning till now without hiding even the smallest fact about me, including those reasons that stopped me from telling her the truth. She deserves to know. She is the only one who didn't make me feel lonely since I shifted here to thi

Am I married? 62. Big Brother's Wife
Sleep can sometimes work as an escape, an escape from reality. Therefore, these days I'm sleeping a lot. Most of the hours of the day, I sleep because it's the only way to disconnect myself from my merciless reality. I'm not even cooking for the Hobsons anymore because I'm feeling weak, not only mentally, but physically as well. Now that Ashar has thrown me out of his life, I'm trying the same. I'm trying to hate him. I'm trying to forget him that's why I'm using sleep as my stress-reliever. The hours I spend awake only distress me. My mind replays Ashar's words over and over again. On the other hand, now Ashar has told me his choice, so it's my time too. I should think of my decision as well. I want to go away from all this pain and suffering. I hear a knock on the door. I'm lying on my bed sluggishly, but turn my head to look who is there. An elegant woman in her early thirties steps inside. "Hello, Sanaya." Puzzled up, I rise to the sitting positio
Am I married? 63. The Coke and my Dress
Both Elle and Abby continued teasing me after our wild encounter. They call me names every time I come across in front of them, even try to embarrass me in front of other students.I assumed that they are actually taking their revenge because they are unable to acknowledge their defeat. I ignore them because I'm too engrossed in my own traumatic thoughts to react to their childishness. Besides, I think ignoring them is the best solution to deal with these weirdoes.I'm about to walk further when they come in front and block my path. "Oh come on. It's been quite some time since we last talked."Abby jeers, looking at her friend. Her eyes move to my snacks. In spur of moment, she snatches it from me. I jump a little reflexively and tilt the milkshake glass without realizing, causing the liquid to fall on to my pumps."Aargh." I exasperate.They burst into laughter. I place the milkshake glass on the nearby empty table, muttering some swear words to m

Damn. My bad luck. I don't want to accept his help.Reluctantly I open his car's front door and sit on my side while cussing some swear words to those crazy witches. My pride!Ashar starts the car after giving me a quick glance. "You smell of coke. Did you pour the drink on your dress instead of glass?" He mocks, looking at me through the corners of his eyes.I shoot him a glare, trying to hide my embarrassment, "Drive fast. Your presence is suffocating me." And that rotten smell that is coming from me.His car seat would also get sticky because of my clothes. Ugh. I want to explode into anger right now at him and tell him this is because of him, those nutcases are pestering me because of him. But, I abstain myself. I don't want to do anything with him. I'll handle my problems by myself."Okay, just answer my one last question." He glimpses at me.Instead of replying him, I lean back my head on the car seat and close my eye
Am I married? 65. Last Party at the Mansion
Hobsons arranges a grand celebration on New Year's Eve at their mansion. Ashar's parents have also invited me and insisted that I should be there too. It's my first party at the mansion and probably the last one as well. The celebration is arranged at the back side of the mansion as usual. Most of the Hobsons's events are organized at the backyard. I'm not willing to be a part of their celebration especially with the outgrown tummy and chubby features, but still I'm attending it upon Matt and Katherine's request. Katherine has arranged a beautiful, maternal gown for me. My blue, floor-length gown is elegantly designed with a fitted lace bodice, made of pure silk. My makeup is soft and my hair are loosely resting on my back. Once I'm ready, I go the backyard. I roam my gaze around and observe the happy, cheerful faces of the guests who are there to welcome the New Year. My eyes catch Ashar who is in white patterned shirt and nude blazer over it. He's standing at t
Am I married? 66. The Hardest Decision
"It's a girl." The nurse in the labor room enunciates. I'm barely awake, utterly worn out, all of my energy has drained off from the body, but still I hear the nurse before closing my eyes. The new-born begins weeping at the top of her voice. Before her I was screaming due to the strong cramping in my abdomen and below. I hear Katherine's happy laugh after the nurse's announcement. She is with me in the labor room and I'm thankful to her because I was very scared with the entire baby birth process and my level of fear reached to its peak the moment I started feeling labor pain. "Goodness, Sanaya. She looks so delicate." Katherine whispers in my ear. My lips slowly stretch and form a weak smile. I force my heavy eye lids to move up. My eyes didn't fully open, but still I manage to see the baby who is covered in blood. The nurse takes her outside and the labor room falls into complete silence. An hour later, they shift to the private room of the
