"That's okay, Ayesha. At least he was busy with work rather than busy looking for women. Do you know I was amazed at how long you two spent together? Kiley's love for you is like no other. Unlike others, all of a sudden they leave because of fear of responsibility," I said with a sigh.

Ayesha shook her head as she looked at him.

"What are you? Each person has a different line of life. We know, fate just did that to wake you up to the fact that Noah is not the one destined for you. No matter how much you love each other if you're still separated, there's nothing you can do. There's something new coming that's better than the one you first loved. Your baby didn't stop you from exploring life, Dionne. He'll be your inspiration and someone you'll be with already and will not be alone again," Ayesha answered and held my hand tightly.

"You're right, but it's sad to think this happened. I'm planning to have a complete family of my own. My mother, I have a father and I have many children. But I'm super blessed even though I lost Noah, I still have a child I'm the one who can't give to other people. There's a perfect couple out there but they haven't been given a child," I said and forced a smile.

"That's my best friend. Be a strong and independent woman. Men will not be a reason for you to stop fighting in life, Dionne. I'm just here for you and ready to take care of your baby when it comes out," Ayesha answered with a smile.

When Ayesha and I finished talking, I said goodbye for a while and went inside my room. I took some clothes from my cabinet and got dressed. I was stunned when I heard my phone ring for a few minutes and then it went away. When I looked at it I saw many missed calls from Noah. I didn't bring my phone because I just left it here in the room. I frowned at the thought of what he needed from me now that he had left me. This man's face is also thick!

I'll put my phone on the bed after I've deleted Noah's number from my phone. I'll take a shower after that. I'm done with my bath after a few minutes. I put on two pieces of clothing from my suitcase. In a moment, I'll leave the room and enter the living room. I noticed Ayesha sitting and checking her phone. In the house, she is also changing her clothes.

“Hasn't Kiley gone out?" I asked as I approached her.

"Yeah, I already brought him food to the library," Ayesha replied.

"He's always so busy," I said.

Ayesha shook her head.

"I thought you went to bed early?" she asked.

"I'd love to, but Noah's phone call disturbed me," I explained.

Ayesha was frowning upon looking at me.

"What did he say?"

"I never answered it because my phone was left in the room earlier when we ate in the kitchen and then I checked my phone and found ten missed calls from him," I explained.

"I'm not sure what he wants from you, Dionne after he's emotionally harmed you so badly. Did he dare to call you? What a shambles on his part. Don't entertain him when he calls again; it's a waste of time, and my blood boils at the thought of him leaving you for another woman," Ayesha raged.

"Let him be, Ayesha; I'm in pain right now, but if I forgive him soon enough, I might be able to move on with my life," I responded, nodding.

It's eight o'clock at night, and I'm exhausted and ready to sleep.

"You should go to bed early, Dionne, to ensure the health of your baby; I can accompany you to the doctor tomorrow."

I gave her a nod and stood up to enter my chamber. When I moved into Ayesha and Kiley's house, all of my worries vanished. When my phone rings, I'm already in bed, and when I look at it, I see it's my mother calling. My heart beats faster when I like to go out in my ribcage. I want to cry and tell my mother what happened, but I don't want to and am not yet prepared to face their rage. Before I answered the phone, I took a deep breath and composed myself.

"Hello, Mother!" I responded, fighting back my tears.

I miss hearing her voice. When I'm feeling down, I want her to console me, but I'm worried that I won't be able to fulfill their hopes for me because I'm pregnant.

"How are you, Dionne? I thought you forgot to call us here, so that's why I'm calling you." my mother asked.

My first reaction was to tighten and be ready to cry but I manage to regain my tears. I miss her badly right now.

"I'm fine, Mother," I said.

"Your father wants to borrow money from you to buy something for himself."

"OK, I'll send you money tomorrow."

"Thank you very much, Dionne, and please take care of yourself." my mother said, happily but myself is dying inside.

"All right, you as well," I said.

Then I'll put down the phone. And I took a deep breath. When will I be able to tell them about my situation? What if they find out through the mouths of others that I'm pregnant? When my eyes turns sore, I chose to sleep. I'll get the blanket and wrap it all around me.

I thought of Noah because my room was too cold. Because when we were together, he always hugged me tightly so that I wouldn't get too cold. But now that he is gone, I can handle it alone. After a while, tears suddenly came to my eyes. I don't know if I can fight it alone. I love him so much that it hurts. But he can do it for the sake of my future baby. Holding my flat stomach, I took the blanket next to me and wrapped my whole body.

It hurt so much to think that he hugged someone other than me every night. I convinced myself that if I remembered our memories together, I would stop crying, but I couldn't.

Noah's deception had caught me completely off guard. Is he that daring? I can't imagine what it would be like to be in his presence. I adore him too much, but will he make up for my pain?

We'd just thrown away two years of our lives together. I hope he didn't extend the year if he intended to leave me. As I lay on the bed, my stomach isn't yet expanding. As a result, I can still lie down.

Noah was the only one with whom I had a long-term relationship, while the others were only temporary. I thought Noah and I would be together for the rest of our lives until he succumbed to temptation.

Three minutes after regaining my vision, I was enveloped in darkness. I awoke the next morning feeling sick. I dashed to the bathroom and vomited everything I had eaten the night before, but it refused to leave. Ayesha arrived at the ideal moment. It dashed towards me and gently stroked my back.

"Throw it all up, Dionne; morning vomiting is normal for a pregnant woman," she advises.

I teased her.

"How do you know? Have you ever been pregnant?"

"Unlikely; getting pregnant isn't in the cards for me right now," Ayesha replied.

I stood up and covered my mouth to prevent vomiting. Right now, I'm not feeling well. I wanted to throw up everything I ate but it was all saliva. My headache still feels like it will split. So I just sit down so I don't fall and get dizzy.
