Chapter 12
I sat dumfounded in the chair, starring helplessly up at the doctor who's still going through my files. How could this happen? WHY ME?! That was
only one time! First time! And this has to happen? WHY IS GOD PUNISHING ME?! *sobs*
"I'm sorry. But I'm one hundred percent sure that you are pregnant with a child." The doctor finally turned back to look at my face with a
sorrowful expression. She must think I'm a bad girl, getting pregnant without even knowing. And acting like such an idiot after finding out.
"..." I didn't know what to say. It was such a harsh blow to me. I've never thought that the gagging and the nausea was from... my baby... OUR
baby.
Chakrit's handsome face flashed through my mind. I sat in fear. What if he gets mad? What if he leaves me? What if...
There were so many what ifs that I was getting dizzy. Tears welled up in my eyes but I tried hard so that they wouldn't fall and drop to my now
numb lap. I couldn't bare the thought of living without Chakrit. What am I going to do? I starred, dazed, down at my flat little stomach; Hard to
imagine anything in there. But there's a baby. A baby GROWING! What am I going to do? What am I going to do with out baby? It's a life that we
made together... Chakit and I.
"Miss. What do you feel about an abortion?" I shot an angry look at the doctor as the words slipped through her mouth. How could she say that,
ABORTION; to kill MY child? TO KILL CHAKRIT'S CHILD?! What was she thinking? A sharp pain ran through my cold body as the though of abortion
entered my mind. I couldn't possibly do that; to kill my child? I couldn't even kill ANYONE, let alone my own child; the child of my most beloved
person.
"NO!" I screamed; Even though I was set on not having an abortion; But what else now? I'm going to give birth? At age twenty-two? Is that really
the best choice? Everyone said that labor was the hardest thing in a human's life. Do I really want to endure that? And what about Chakrit, he has
his career, this may ruin it. I could already see the headlines.
PRINCE'S NEW BABY!
THE END OF CHAKRIT YAGNAM!
FAMILY OR CAREER?
I couldn't possibly let that happen either. Chakrit loves his job to much to let that ever happen. And I love him way too much to ever let that
happen either. But... that's a choice. That's a choice... a hard choice to make.
AHH!!! WHAT AM I GOING TO DO!!!!!! I'M GONNA GO CRAZY!!!!!!!!!
*ring**ring**little piggy~ the phone!* (cell phone)
I apparently zoned out, since my cell phone's ring tone made me jump out of my chair and almost fall to the ground. I scrambled around my
messy purse for my now ringing cell phone. I had a bad feeling... I'm pretty sure I know who the phone call is from. And I'm also pretty sure that
this isn't the best time to talk...
You know what? I was right... It's Chakrit. I starred at the phone, only it in my hand. The ring tone growing louder and louder and the little piggy
continued to sing.
"Hello?"
"Ann~ where are you?" Chakrit's deep voice echoed through the phone.
"Um...” I couldn't talk. It was like my tongue was in a tight knot, unable to untie it. My words were stuck in my dry throat, aching.
"Hello? You still there?"
"Yah..."
"Are you alright? You don't sound too good." Chakrit asked worriedly.
"No... I'm fine. Don't worry about me." I lied.
"Did you go see the doctor?"
"Yah..."
"What did they say about your gagging and nausea?"
"Um..." What should I say? Should I tell him? "No they said it was fine." I lied again. I couldn't bear to let the word 'pregnant' come out of my
trembling mouth. What am I going to do? Should I tell him? I knew I should since he's the father, but the words wouldn't come out. They just
wouldn't. They were trapped in my throat, helpless.
"That's good to hear. Where are you? I'll go pick you up. We'll go get some dinner together." Chakrit finally let out a breath and smiled. Happy
that Ann was okay and feeling fine.
"It's alright..." I didn't want to see Chakrit just yet. I want to be able to think about things, alone. Then decide. It's a big decision; I have to think
about it. If I see him, everything will mess up. I will be too nervous to do anything. I can't act to rash, or else things may end up terribly. A silent
tear dropped from my now blood shot red eyes.
"Are you sure? Do you not feel good?" Chakrit was nervous again.
"No, I just want to go home and rest for a little while. I need some time alone. I need some quiet time. Or else I'm seriously going to go crazy.
Chakrit understood and said bye and feel better. He told me to call him tonight, I said yes, but I'm not sure if I will.
I lay sapless on the floor of my dim apartment. How did my usual dull life suddenly have so much drama? Okay I know I wanted drama in my life,
but to me, Chakrit is my only drama; A great drama. But this baby thing, OKAY! WAY TOO MUCH DRAMA!!!!! I should seriously stop wishing for
things. Who knows maybe next time, I'll wish for money and I’ll get gold! That'd be great... NOW BACK TO THE TOPIC!
I gave a quiet sigh and closed my eyes. They were drossy and very tired. I took all my strength to keep them open. But I gave up, they over
powered me. I closed them softly...
I must have fallen asleep since when I woke up; the bright sun light glowed through the window. I yawned. Sat up straight and looked at the clock.
8. Its only 8. It actually really surprised me. I didn't have any nightmares that night, none, zip, and zero. I smiled slightly, the corner of my mouth
lifting just a tiny bit. Something on my cell phone caught my attention; I starred surprisingly as the cell phone said that I had 7 missed calls. God...
what was I? Sleeping like a pig that I can't even hear my own cell phone ringing?
5:32 - Chakrit
6:01 - Chakrit
6:14 - Chakrit
6:32 - Chakrit
7:05 - Chakrit
7:18 - Chakrit
8:00 - Chakrit
I stared in shock. He must be really worried now. I dialed his number as fast as possible, not really since it was my speed dial number 1. =P
"Hello, Ann, Is that you?" Chakrit picked up after the phone ringed twice.
" Sorry about that, I didn't see or hear your calls." Ann apologized.
"Oh, that's alright. I thought something happened." Chakrit let out a sigh.
"Um..., can we have dinner together?" I finally asked. I knew I had to tell him. "Are you busy?"
"No that's alright. I was about to tell you that I was free tonight!" Chakrit said happily on the other side of the phone. He had no idea what news
Ann had in store for him.
---*---
I stepped into the fancy restaurant, Chakrit and I have been here many times. It's one of his favorite restaurants. I wasn't too crazy about the
food, But as long as Chakrit likes it, I like it.
"May I help you miss?" A young gentleman dressed in a fine white shirt with long black pants stood before Ann with a smile.
"Yes, I'm here to meet someone. The name is under Yagnam." Ann said to the waiter.
He scanned down the list of reserved tables on his notebook and his eyes stopped on one. The waiter looked up in shock as he saw Chakrit'
Yagnam's name. "Yes, For Mr. Yagnam. This way please." He showed me to the private little room. This is probably mine sixth time coming to this
private little room. It's always Chakrit's. I sat down on one of the wooden seats and waited patiently for Chakrit's arrival. My heart was pounding
like crazy inside my chest. It seemed like it can jump out of my throat any minute. Yes, I was that nervous.
"Hey, sorry did you wait long?" Chakrit stepped through the door as the waiter reopened it. The waiter starred at Chakrit in amazement. He could
not believe who he's seeing. I shook my head and smiled shyly. Chakrit took the seat across from me; and smiled. "What do you want to eat?"
"Anything's fine. I'm not particularly hungry." I smiled back this time more pleasantly. Chakrit looked down at the menu carefully. Examining what
he thinks I'll like. I can tell that he really cared for me...
"We'll have your special, two servings please." Chakrit said to the still stunned waiter. Seeing Chakrit in flesh was even shocking VERY SHOCKING
to a guy too okay? "Do you want any wine?" Chakrit turned his face to face mine. I shook my head. No way could I have any kinds of
alcohol. "Water; juice?" He asked.
"Water will be fine." I faced the waiter.
"That'll be it, I'll have water too." Chakrit said but not turning his face to the waiter. The waiter left sadly, really wanting to stare at Chakrit more.
"So, how's you day?" Chakrit suddenly said. He really kind of scared me. Does he sense something?
"..."
The meal went by fast, not much conversation was used. The usual, how are you? Do you feel okay (chakrit asking ann)? What do you want to do
today? Did you miss me...? You know usual couple talks. Chakrit wasn't really expecting anything, he was enjoying himself. Instead, I was so
nervous. My legs were trembling under the table and my hands were sweating from the nervousness.
"So, let's go. Check...” Chakrit was about to say please when I interrupted him.
"... I... have something... to say." My words were tripping as they came through of my shattering teeth. Chakrit looked up at me expectantly. He
had a smile on his face, so kind. I was so afraid that that smile will disappear. "Please... no matter what I tell you. Be calm."
"What happened?"
"..I..." Tears fell, I didn't know why, but they fell. One after another, letting out my fears. "I'm pregnant."
