I don''t wanna return there


    “You must return to the city because you are due to give birth in a few months. Mylene can be


    included. You’ll struggle here since the city is far away, and it’s tough to find a hospital.” Stanley


    pressed me to return to him in the city, but I refused. I was just covered by a nket while he sat on


    the bed’s side.


    “I don’t want to return there.” That was the second nightmare that I had. “I’m fine here,” I said,


    caressing my stomach. If I go back, I’m worried the next thing that happens to me will be much


    worse. Stanley can’t always be right next to me; it’s difficult for me to be with him every time he


    goes to the workce.


    “You will live with my parents.” Because of what he said, I was suddenly thrown back on my feet.


    Maybe I’m just mishearing. What am I going to do at his parents’ house? Wait, do they know about


    me? When I looked at him, he was very red. “T-they want to meet you.” He averted his gaze from


    me, so I immediately raised my eyebrows.


    “What for? Omg! Maybe, like Andrius’ mommy, they will also tell me to stay away? We’re just


    friends. Why do I have to live with them?” Iy down again and covered myself to nket again.


    That’s true. During the time he helped me, I knew Beatrice was still what he wanted.


    “Ouch. It hurts. I am in the friend zone.” I heard his groan that I thought he was hurt. I am so


    thankful to Stanley, During never left me with my downsides even though I was very hard to handle


    sometimes.


    “You know why I don’t want to go back there.” I finally sat up in bed and said what was my reason


    why I didn’t want to go back to the city. Especially since “he” is already married.


    “You don’t have to prove anything to them. You lived well. When you finish giving birth, we wille


    back here.” He was holding his heart like he was nervous, so I gaped at him. He was already doing


    that for a while now. What is happening to him? Stanley is handsome, just like I said. He and


    Andrius are the same. There was almost no difference except for their faces.


    I was about to ask what was happening to him but I was surprised when he suddenly pulled out a


    red box in the office suit he was wearing. I’m not na?ve for not knowing what’s in that box. I stared at


    his face and now he was looking straight at me. The nervousness is still obvious, but he tries to


    show a straight face so that his confidence will prevail.

    “I know ... I can’t rece Andrius in your heart,” he remarked as he opened the box. The crystal ring


    appears right away. With the difficulties of our circumstances at the time, I never expected to see


    such a lovely ring. “I know you and Andrius have been together for a long time, but in the short time


    I’ve been with you, I know with every beat of my heart that there is nothing phony about them.


    Please allow me to get to know you better while simultaneously allowing yourself to get to know me.


    I want your son or daughter to understand that I am the acknowledged father.”


    With what he stated, my jaw dropped wide. I had no idea what to say to him. I didn’t know how to


    repay Stanley after all of his kindness. How am I going to pay for those? He is not obligated to


    compensate me, but I have the right to do so. I’m not sure whether this is the proper approach to


    reimburse him.


    I just stared at the ring while thinking about that. When he closed the box and put it back in his suit,


    I looked at his face. “Think carefully. Once you’re in the city, you don’t have to hide from them


    because you’re not a loser. You can use me all you want.” In hisst sentence, you can immediately


    hear how determined he is.


    He got up and was ready to leave when I gave him an answer directly. I know Stanley deserves


    someone better. I know I am not that person and that deserving someone because I’m being


    passed on by different men, but they say, time will tell if you can love someone. When Ie back


    and when I give birth, I want to show Stanley that I am willing to sacrifice my heart for the things he


    has helped me with.


    ------


    “Mylene, are all your things ready?” Fortunately, Mylene agreed because she would be closer to her


    family. She can go home every weekend. I didn’t know that we were leaving immediately. Helpers


    are already carrying our belongings. Stanley said my room and my baby’s room were ready.


    Hopefully, nothing will be a problem when we get there.


    “It’s finished, ma’am. Will we stay there for long?” She looked outside to see where Stanley was


    then whispered. “I’m got used to the beautiful surroundings here hehe.”


    She is right, even though cities are better, this ce is even better because you get peace of mind. I


    also don’t know when we’ll be back. All I know is that after I give birth, there’s a chance we’lle


    back. There’s also a chance we won’t. Especially with what happened to Stanley and me, I can no


    longer decide on my own.


    “We haven’t left yet. You’re thinking ofing back right away!” We bothughed when I said that


    and then Stanley came in. He wrapped his hand around my waist and then led us into the car. Good


    thing he did not bring the raptor car, otherwise I will have a hard time climbing.


    I looked at the house; I felt the same way when I left Andrius’ house. It was also hard for me to


    leave then, but now, I know that when I leave I will have a ce to stay and I can also call it “home”


    While on the road, Stanley squeezed my hand and kissed it. I was nervous because I would get to


    know his parents. I just hope they will like me. When we finally got out of the gigantic trees and onto


    the highway, I yawned and fell asleep.


    I just woke up with a pat on my cheek. I looked outside and saw that it was dark. I looked again at


    what I was wearing to see if Stanley’s parents will like it. I saw a lot of cars outside. Their house is


    too big because I even saw a fountain. What I’m wearing now is a white dress that’s too wide, so I


    can’t squeeze my stomach.


    Stanley got out and opened the door for me. It looks like Mylene came in first because she was no


    longer in the car. “Am I wearing nice?” I still couldn’t resist the question of walking as we went


    inside.


    We stopped, and he kissed my forehead. “I told you, no matter what your haircut or whatever else


    you wear. You’re beautiful.” I didn’t back down, and he opened the door.


    Opening the door, the smile of a couple I’d never seen before greeted us. The next two I looked at


    were both quite recognizable to me. I was surprised, but I didn’t show it.


    I just continued staring at the man as he walked in front of me. What I thought was a long-dead


    heart and had turned to stone came back to life as if it recognized who possessed it.
