Chapter 3


    Anna''s POV


    "Will you be my date tonight, Anna?" Tony questions me. I blink at him severally with different thoughts


    running through my mind.


    I am still trying to get over my ex-boyfriend. I didn''t wish to see him ever since he broke up with me and


    I haven''t seen him. Now, I wish to see him, even if it is just once so I can ask him to give me a genuine


    reason for breaking up with me.


    I gave him all I had, my heart, body, and soul. I loved him wholeheartedly but all he did was break my


    heart into shreds. I am still trying to pick up the pieces of my broken heart and trying to fix them back in


    their position. I am hoping that one day, it will heal.


    Hearing Tony asking me out on a date is bringing back the pain. It''s been three months since Cameron


    broke up with me but it still feels like a day since it happened. This is because the hurt is still fresh in


    my heart.


    I don''t know what to say to Tony. I don''t want him to get the wrong idea of me. He already asked me to


    be his girlfriend but I rejected him.


    If I ept to go on this date, does it mean I am his girlfriend? I know I am not ready for another


    rtionship. It is too early.


    "Anna", Pam calls, jerking me out of my reverie. We are sitting in the school cafeteria and he asked me


    the question after we''ve had lunch.


    I have been feeling unwell since I got to school this morning so I told Pam I am going to skip the rest of


    the sses after lunch.


    "Alright, Tony." I finally give in. He beams in excitement and Pam ps her hands.


    "But I''m still not your girlfriend", I state loudly to his hearing. His body is calm as I say that. He quickly


    rece the hurt on his face with a smile.


    "It''s ok. We will take it slow."


    "Alright", I stand up. Pam did the same as I fling my schoolbag to her shoulder, ready to go home. I am


    beginning to feel dizzy again just like I felt earlier this morning before my first ss and I wonder why.


    "We will get going, Tony. Thanks for lunch." Pam appreciates him.


    "My pleasure", he replies with a wide grin. He is really happy and excited about tonight.


    "Bye, Tony", I wave at him and walk towards the exit with Pam.


    "Alright, Anna. I wille to pick you up when it''s time", He shouts after us.


    I look back and nod at him with a sweet smile.


    "I''m going to skip ss too," Pam mutters as we are walking towards the campus gate. I intend to go


    get a cab.


    "You don''t need to", I object.

    "I''ll take you home", she insists.


    I smile at my friend in gratitude. Since I started feeling feverish and dizzy, I was thinking it is because of


    the exercise routine I justmenced after three months. I stopped exercising after the breakup and I


    just picked the habit up again the day before.


    "Someone is going out on a date. Someone is going to be someone''s girlfriend", Pam sings.


    "Pam, it''s just a date. Besides, it''s too soon, I''m not ready. It''s just three months...."


    "Is three months not enough to cry over spilled milk?" She questions and rolls her eyes.


    "I feel it''s too soon."


    "Rx babe, just go along with the flow and see how it turns out. I want you to enjoy tonight. Thest


    time you had fun was three months ago, remember?"


    "That was a disaster," I tell her, remembering what happened and the sex between me and the


    stranger.


    "Disaster indeed." Pamughs. "Because you got banged."


    "Stop it already, please", I beg her to stop teasing. I am ufortable whenever she talks about it.


    "I wonder why you don''t like talking about that night", she states.


    "Because I am not proud of it", I admit.


    "What?" Pam snickers as she brings out her car key from her bag and dangles it. "You are not proud


    of something as amazing as you gettingid on the second day after your break up? It''s something to


    be proud of, if you are not proud of it, well I am super proud of you, baby girl."


    "Whatever!"


    "Whatever", Pam rolls her eyes at me again. We bothugh. We get to the parking lot and find our


    way to Pam''s car.


    "Tony will be really happy if you ept him, you know?"


    "Shut up and let''s go", I snap at her. A wave of dizziness sweeps through me again and I almost


    stumble to the ground but I grip the car handle. I hold it firmly and close my eyes. When I open it, Pam


    is already inside the car and looking at me carefully.


    "What is it, Anna?"


    I want to reply but no word ising out. The moment I close my eyes again, I find myself falling to the


    ground and losing consciousness.


    ****


    When I wake up, I feel someone''s grip on her hand. It is Pam. Pam is sitting beside the bed


    looking at me in pity. When she noticed my opened eyes, she sits upright.


    "Anna", she calls.


    "My daughter", another voice says. This is when I discovered my mother is on the other side of my bed.


    I turn slowly to meet the green eyes of my mother. I am the exact replica of her except for my hair


    which is auburn.


    "Mom?" I call softly.


    "You scared us", she hugs me briefly on the bed. When she pulls away, I can see how teary she is.


    My mother is a strict but emotional woman. Ever since my father died, she has been working her ass


    off to put food on the table and to make sure I go to school.


    "What happened, mom?" I demand with curiosity.


    "You lost consciousness", she informs me.


    I nod as I recall what happened. I turn to face Pam. She smiles at me and touches my hand again.


    "I was damn scared."


    "What did the doctor say? I''m still feeling feverish", I ignore herment and grimace in pain.


    "He carried out a test on you but he is yet to tell us what it is", Pam answers.


    "I hope it''s nothing serious. I can''t afford to lose you", she pecks my forehead.


    "I''ll be fine, mom," I assure her.


    We fall silent and I watch mom, hoping all is well with me. I know my mother will be heartbroken if it


    turns out to be a life-threatening disease. I am yet to figure out what it can be when someone enters.


    It is the doctor.


    "Doctor", my mother stands up abruptly.


    "You are awake", the doctor beams at me. I nod in reply. "Good."


    "I hope all is well?" My mother asks the doctor who is still smiling.


    "It''s good news", he grins widely. Pam and I share a look. My mother is still looking at the doctor in


    anticipation.


    The smile on the doctor''s face is evident enough that it isn''t something bad, even before he said it is


    good news I wondered what the good news is.


    "Your daughter is 3 months pregnant. Congrattions, Anna", the doctor announced.


    What?!" We all eximed in shock.
