Chapter 23
Zed and I decided to leave after breakfast. We dined in a small, native cottage along the shore, facing the sea. The view was breathtaking and I felt so awed by the rolling waves’ tiny ripples that glittered against the morning sunlight. Every time I had the chance of communicating with nature, I always basked in such a wonderful feeling that I could never put into words.
“How’s your day yesterday with Mr. Mori?” Zed’s voice floated in my ears
I looked at him, trying to see hints of jealousy but there was none.
“Mr. Kim’s time is gold. He decided to make the trip while discussing business matters with me. He thought he could send me back through his personal driver, but the car’s engine acted out.”
“You have already told me about that. There's no problem with that. What I mean is his wife’s betrayal.”
“I really don’t know. It’s such a personal matter that

My frustration ruined my mood that I insisted on going home after checking into one hotel only. We were supposed to do resort hopping, but because I was afraid Zed would notice my foul mood after an unsatisfied petting, I made my lack of sleep as an excuse. Zed always understood so, in less than three hours, we were back in the city.“Want an ice cream? It’s too hot today.” I knew Zed wanted to let my mood cool down, but he blamed it on the sunny weather.“Okay,” I forced myself to answer.I should understand that Zed just wanted to protect our baby. He was afraid that my pregnancy was delicate, and we would lose our child by indulging in our carnal desire. We often heard from older folks that a pregnant woman should abstain from any sexual stimulation to ensure a healthy pregnancy.Zed pulled over in front of an ice cream castle. A few minutes later, I ordered a banana split. It had three scoops of ice cream with split banan

“Doctor? Why?” Zed asked in furrowed brows.I looked at him with a scared and worried face that confused both Zed and Ara. Zed hurrieddownstairs but I stopped him right away.“Can you do the questioning later and just hurry up? Go and change!”Zed scratched his head and opened his mouth to speak, but he shut his mouth in the endand turned to leave.In less than 10 minutes, Zed was already in a new set of jeans and shirt. He hollered from the top of the staircase, interrupting Ara and mine’s discussion.“What was in that movie that prompted you to bring me to a doctor?’I ignored her and turned to Ara. “Ar, I’m so sorry. You may stay here and continue watching the movie. Promise, I will explain it to you later.”Ara shooed us away impatiently, irritated that I had disrupted her excitement of the climax of the story.“Whatever. Just tell me what caused

Zed had his laboratory tests the next day, but the results were all normal. I had succeeded in letting Zed believe that I happened to read an article about diseases associated with most lecturers. It said that lecturers spent sleepless nights and long hours of preparation. They are also prone to stress and anxiety due to the pressures and demands of the crowd. They sometimes skipped meals and overeat the next because their clients often treat them with lavish and sumptuous foods.“Those are unnecessary worries, dear, but I appreciate you for thinking of me.” Zed gave me a tight hug when we were back in the car.I huddled close to him for a while before we set off the road again. I closed my eyes on the way and pretended I was sleepy, but the truth was my mind was in a mess. Zed didn’t have any of these predisposing factors for Erectile Dysfunction Syndrome, so it meant he had another illness.I decided to revisit Dr.Mitch in the afternoon when

I closed my eyes and tried hard not to blink. Thislulled me to sleep.I didn’t know if I tossed or turned over—I just felt his skin on my nudeback. He pulled me closer so that his chest and abdomen fitted into my curled position, making my butt rest on his torso. I opened my eyes slightly and turned my head to look at him.“Why are you naked?” he asked; his tone irritated. "You might catch a cold.""Hmmn."I ignored his concern for a while and turned my back on him again. My initial plan to seduce him dissipated as soon as my desire to sleep more set in. Nothing ismore tempting for a pregnant woman in her early trimesterthan curling up in bed.“Naked?” I answered lazily. My thoughts became groggier as my sleepiness dragged my consciousness away.“Look at this!” he teased, cupping my ass.I shifted to a supine position and his hand immediately landed on my mons.

I continued to serve the hospital’s accounting departmentuntil my resignation took effect. At the same time, I was learning more about Kim Yuan Microelectronics. I didn’t see Kim after that trip with him since he was out of the country the whole time. However, Miss Trish kept communicating with me and sent me some files and links to go over. The previous manager who resigned due to some personal reasons also took time to orient me with the full responsibilities.Time flew fast, and Ara was already in his seventh month of pregnancy. Her nose became larger, coupled with lots of pimples and dark brown patches on her face. Her nape, neck, and underarms darkened, and an ugly linea negra mapped her abdomen, aside from gaining weight.One Sunday afternoon, Ara and I took a walk around the subdivision. I avoided topics related to Tim, so I no longer knew about the progress of his relationship with Maezy.“Yen, you should see Tim. He’s becom

The sound of running footsteps against the tiled floor caught my attention. As soon as I lifted my eyes, Jaykee'sshrill voice pierced into my ears.“Auntie Yen, Auntie Ara!”“My love!” Ara stretched out her arms to hug him. “How’s my baby boy?”“Jaykee is happy. Daddy Yuki is here!”New name. Who was he, I thought.“Auntie Ara, Auntie Yen, look!” Jaykee raised his finger and pointed the photo frame on the wall. “He’s my daddy.”I got confused. I thought James was his real daddy’s name. Sylvia must have read my mind because she approached me and whispered into my ear, “Jaykee’s real father.”I recalled everything she said that night while we were in the plaza. That before James, Maezy had an old man. But it hadn’t occurred to me that he was Jaykee’s biological father. I turned to look at Ara, and I got

I couldn’t imagine how big my eyes were when I looked at the man beside me.“Kim, what are you doing?” I exclaimed, still muddle-headed.“Sorry for troubling you. But you know I can’t be there.”It suddenly occurred to me that his wife was betraying him in his own home. This fact just blew out of my mind when he appeared like a knight in shining armor to save a damsel in distress. I was focusing on being star-struck, rather than being sensitive enough to his feelings and to the current situation.“Kim, I don’t understand.” I was just so afraid to make a wrong conclusion.“Mr. Yuki is still her husband. When he got sick for a long time and was under the care of his family, she decided to go home to the Philippines. She was pregnant at that time, so his family thought it was indeed inconvenient for an eighteen-year-old wife to stay with a comatose husband, so they kindly sent her away. When

“I see.” I no longer asked who Jakara was. It was something personal and I was reluctantto delve deeper into it. He threw a glance at me with an amused smile. “Do you want to know about her?” I stared at him with doubtful eyesand asked, “You are willing to talk to me about her?” “Why not?” He chuckled. “Since you know a lot about my life and all the betrayals, I don’t consider it wrong if I add some more to it.” “Okay, then. I’ll listen.” “I met Jakara when…” Kim began, but he suddenly stopped. I followed his eyes outside the windshield, looking at the jogger who passed by. To my surprise, it was Zed. He stopped over a bench, drops of sweat trickling down his face. I froze as I watched him bending over, placing his hands slightly wider than his shoulder’s lengthon both corners of the bench Then, he pushed his body forward and up in repeated cycles. I debated whether or not I should go down and gree
