Chapter 32
Carrying the handbag, she got out of the car. She kept walking into the building so she was surprised when someone dared to pull her hand from behind. When she looked back, a slap hit her on the cheek. She touched the slapped cheek sharply when turned to look at whoever slapped her. Carla was right in front of her. She looked very mad. Her eyes glazed over as she stared at her.
“Your face is really thick, Anya. I told you to stay away from him!”
Anya frowned at what Carla said. Even so, she stared at her old friend intently. She looked at her with pity in her eyes. Her friend looked like a mess. She knew her friend was totally in despair. Carla loses her class and sanity. Indeed, too much love will kill you.
“Stop this nonsense, Carla. You lost your class!”she said emphatically to her.”If I don’t like it, I don’t!”she added.
“How dare you!”Carla shouted again. She was about to slap Anya again when the latter stopped her hand. She slumped but she gripped her hand tightly.
“You’re so pitiful, Carla. Have a little dignity. Even on your own,”she boldly said to her friend. Carla was surprised by what Anya said. There was a moment of silence between the two of them.
Anya released Carla’s hand that she had been holding earlier. She thought Carla was leaving but she was not over yet.”I’m pregnant! Andrius is the father.”
Anya was surprised by what her friend said but for a moment she cleared her mind of doubt. Doubting was not good in a relationship, and if what Carla said was true. She could accept it. Anya would let Andrius handle his thing.
“Let Andrius decide about that, Carla. Prove to him that it was true. I am not the one you should talk to in that matter because I can accept defeat if necessary,”she finally said to her friend.
Anya looked around. She knew that the building employees were looking at them. When she saw the guard she called them. She pulled her friend out.
“You won’t be happy with him, Anya! I promise you that! You’ll pay for this!”Carla screamed while the guard was carrying her.
Even though Carla was hurting her head, she still felt sorry for her. Too much love could make you desperate. You gave love while losing yourself in the process.
Anya sighed. Her head started aching. These past few days have been a constant headache. Her migraine was attacking again. Even so, she continued to enter the building. She ignored the eyes of the employees that were focused on her. She did not care what they thought. They could judge her all they want. She didn’t care. She knew the truth. That was all that matters.
——-
Anya was focused all day on work. She made too many reports and minutes. If cleaning and maintenance had not yet entered their floor, she would not have thought of looking at her own watch. When she realized that it was already afternoon, she hurriedly slung the bag over her shoulder. She also glanced at Andrius’office for a moment. She would go straight to his house so she had to hurry.
“Ate Jodie, I’ll be the first to leave,”she said goodbye to the cleaner.
“Be careful, beautiful,”the woman replied.
Anya smiled at what the janitress said. She began to walk. Though her morning was not good, she still felt light until she reached the outside of the building shortly after. She slapped her own forehead when she forgot to book Grab. She hurriedly booked a car while waiting outside.
She was standing outside the building for a few minutes when a white van pulled up in front of her. She would not have ignored it but anyone pulling her inside. She wanted to shout but her mouth quickly covered immediately.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
“Shit! Who are you?!”Anya finally said that when they would take her on board. She rolled her eyes inside the car, while the men were laughing.
“Hey! Why did you bring me here?!”she asked them after seeing Manila Port. Anya did not get an answer. Moments later the man stopped the car. They got out while she remained inside.
“Miss you come down,”said the man.
“I do not want to!”Anya was stubborn. Who wouldn’t?
“I’m sorry, Miss. We won’t hurt you,”the man said softly. Without a doubt, he lifted Anta. She looked like a sack the way he carried her.
“Put me down!”Anya shouted. She was panicking. She felt as if they were climbing on something. So she punched the man harder in the back.
“Fuck! You touched my baby, assholes?”
From nowhere Anya heard Andrius’voice. She stopped what she was doing. So did the man who lifted her. He also lowered her to the floor where they were. She turned back on what they were looking at, quickly.
Anya’s eyes twinkled with happiness seeing Andrius in front of her. Meanwhile, Andrius looked murderous eyeing the four men at the back of her. All of them bowed their heads upon seeing Andrius.
“Andrius…”Anya called him.
Andrius looked at Anya and his face lit up instantly.”Hey, baby.”Andrius smiled.
Anya wasted no time. She moved forward to embrace Andrius. But, Andrius lifted her like a baby. That was why she was so attached to the back of him for support.
“Looks like my baby misses me so much,”he whispered in her ear.
“Not really!”She lied. Few weeks of him in Germany was torture. She immediately pressed her reddened cheek to his neck. Andrius laughed at what she did. As their four companions left the area and left them.
“I miss you,”Andrius whispered again.
Anya didn’t answer. She nodded to him. She wanted to tell him she misses him too, but it was not necessary. Actions speak louder than words. And, Anya would prove that to him. Later in his bed.
