Chapter 45

Nikita's POV,
"Witch!"
I immediately went downstairs when I heard Hanz's voice below.
I'm living in Hanz's house now. Hanz forced me to live in his house because he was worried about my pregnancy.
I wouldn't have agreed because even if it's my bestfriend, he's still a man and I'm a woman and it's not nice to see a man and woman living on the same roof. Pero talagang mapilit siya and he always has this reason ...
'Do you want to ruin your son? You can't be alone, especially when you think you're young. '
That's what he always told me and he really kept it away from me. We're still fighting because he's too desi.
"Yes? What can I do for you Sir Wizard?" I said as I got down.
"No. I just called you, I just want to make sure you're ok." He said and smiled at me.
I"ll admit, I"m somewhat nervous. Not as a lover but as a friend because it's nice to feel that someone is worried about your condition.
"You don't always have to do that." I said and took from him the attache case he was holding.
Hanz is really a businessman. He's different when he's on his work. He's a different kind of boss. Not in a negative way but I can say that he's really a nice and excellent leader. He cares for his employees and works seriously.
But there is a part that he is really serious especially when signing papers because he really reads everything that is written.
I work ok their company for 2 months since we arrived here in States. But he himself stopped me because he said it was my 7th month. Risky na raw and he doesn't want to put my baby at risk.
I didn't even want to agree to the case if I was suddenly fired. Very kind isn't it?
"Psh! Aren't you used to it?" He said more.
"I'm not your wife." I said and laughed slightly.
"And why? Who told you I'm concerned? With your baby because his mother is stubborn, maybe his release will be delayed." He said as well and sat down on the sofa.
"L*che. You're always fighting me." I said and acted tearful.
"See? Tampo right away? Witch, just come and hug us." He said and even inextended his hands in the air as if to greet me with a hug.
"Che! You're chansing again Panot Gay Wizard!" I just said and shook his arms. I sat down next to him.
"You look tired now ah." I said and acted to remove the tie he was wearing. He leaned on his back and tilted his head back.
"Of course. I reviewed a lot of proposals and then I had a meeting with Lioness Company for our project." He said more.
"Did you eat already?" I just asked because it might not be eating yet.
"Yeah. Did you cook there?" He said and arranged a seat.
"Yes. Sweet and sour chicken." I said.
"Wait! Maybe you put something exotic again?"
"Hey wal ---"
"Oh Nikita, stop me from saying 'it's delicious when there's something like that' ah" he said and mimicked the tone of my speech.
"Hey no! You're serious! It's true what I'm saying. I wouldn't put that on if it wasn't delicious."
"For you, yes. Don't you know weird pregnant tastes. Not even in your whole life before you got pregnant did you eat an apple with ketchup?"
"Hey you're overdoing it!"
"I still accept if you put mayonnaise because there's something like that, but ketchup? In the apple? What kind of tongue is that?"
"L*che! That's where you're gay. You don't even know how to appreciate things." I said in a hushed tone and stood up to climb.
"Hey, your sensitivity is really bad. You know I'll eat everything you cook, right?" He said and grabbed my arm to stop me from walking uphill. He pulled me back to sit on the sofa.
"L*che! I'm upset with you. You're so gay. It's my fault that we taste weird? What if I move this boy to your stomach?" I said and crossed arms.
"Oh no baby doesn't come out when you're pregnant with him." I once said laugh.
"Ayy! Baby will come out of the ass. It's like shit." I said and still laughing.
"The pig of your mouth." Said Hanz. And he dragged me to the kitchen where I covered my cooked dish of sweet and sour chicken.
He opened the lid and I saw in his eyes that he was appetizing.
"Let's eat now." He said and sat down at the table.
I approached our bag of plates to get him something to eat.
I placed his plate, spoon and fork in front of him. I went to my place and sat down to eat.
Hanz quickly tasted the dish I cooked. I just stared at him to see his reaction to what I cooked.
I saw that he stopped for a moment.
"How is it?" I asked him.
"Ahhh ... It tastes bad." He said and set the spoon down on his plate.
My forehead furrowed so I hurriedly tasted what I had cooked.
"Not really ah." I told him when I tasted it.
Eme Hanz, it doesn't taste bad. In fact, it's even delicious.
"Just a joke!" He said and laughed. "But honestly, you're improving and I can say you're wife material." He said and sincerely looked at me.
I just smiled at him.
I only want to be a husband, it's just Kent but that's just a dream because sooner, Kent will also have a family with Lauren.
Hanz and I just ate quietly because he looks really tired now.
"I don't know if you still need to kmow this but I just want to tell you this ..." Pambabasag niya ng katahimikan. I looked at him.
"Kent is getting married, after 2 months." He said without looking at me. I let go of the spoon I was holding.
Kent's POV,
"Is everything ok?" I asked Lauren.
We are in the process of making gowns and tuxedos that we will use at the wedding. Lauren has already chosen the gown that she will wear to our upcoming wedding which is next month on February 14.
Mommy and Lauren also like it early because she wants our anniversary to be right on Valentines. So instead of 10 months of preparation, it was almost 9 months.
"Yes." Lauren said smiling so I smiled at her too. He hugged me so I hugged him too.
"I love you Kent." He suddenly said so I tightened my hug with him.
Lauren is so sweet. It was also one of the reasons why I loved him. Nikita was like that to me then and when I was sad because we lost the game, he just hugged me and I was ok.
Nikita?
I want to invite him to my wedding in case I remember what he told me before.
"Kent ..."
"Kent ... I don't want to talk to you anymore because ... I'm going to direct you ... I'm still hurting until now from your separation and I'm feeling, I'm going crazy every time you talk to me. AI just wants to say no I can be like you who can consider your ex as a friend. I'm not like you who can act like you have no relationship with his ex. So hopefully, you won't talk to me anymore. I'm still moving on ehh and I can't move as long as you're around me. A-I'm sorry. "
My big g*go to hurt him. Hopefully she can find a man for her.
"Kent ..."
Suddenly I was sad to think that.
The time will also come when Nikita will find a man who will love her unlike me.
And hopefully when that comes, I won't be hurt to see him happy without me.
"Kent ..."
I turned to Lauren when I heard her calling me.
"I've been calling you before." He said so I just hugged him.
"Sorry, I was just thinking about us after the wedding." I'm going to lie because I don't want Lauren to blame herself again about Nikita and me when I say Nikita is what I'm thinking.
"Your advance." Lauren said and laughed a little.
"Of course. We're getting married next month, aren't we? And Valentines is really our Anniversary." I told him.
"I feel more romantic when we icecelebrate our anniversary on Valentines." She said.
He let go of my hug and looked me in the eyes.
"Kent ..." I just stared at him because he was so beautiful.
"... If you think that you don't really love me ... please say it now so that it won't hurt me if you say it at the wedding itself." He spoke seriously to me so I frowned.
"Why would I do that?" I asked him with a frown.
What is she talking about?
"Just ... Say it now." He still said seriously.
"Don't you trust me?" I suddenly asked him too.
"I trust you, but not your feelings." He said that's why I was depressed.
All this time, she didn't believe my love for her.
I was sad to look at him. But I still smiled at him.
"I won't leave Nikita, if I don't love you." I just said that's why he smiled. His smile was serious.
"I love you Kent. Please don't leave me." Lauren said and hugged me again.
"I love you too." I said before I hugged him again.
I know I love Lauren. I hope it was only right that I chose to hurt Nikita for my love for Lauren.
"Sus love birds. Can't wait for the wedding." We looked away and were relieved from our embrace when we heard my friend's voice.
I am with them now so that they can be famous again for what they will wear to our wedding. So that they can think if that is really what they will wear to Lauren and I's wedding.
"Oh, does it still fit you? Maybe not anymore." I joked with my friend who was also a basketball player before.
"What do you think of me? Pig? Hoyyy! My body is even better than yours. Don't be me." My friend Junric said more and laughed.
"Thick as your face, as thick as your belly button." I teased her and Lauren laughed.
"Hoyyyy, what's that?" He said and suddenly lifted his polo shirt to show his abs.
"Hoyy don't mess with my wife." I said and pretended to cover Lauren's eyes.
"What Mrs.? You're not married yet, no ring yet oh. Don't assume." He was still pissed at me so I just laughed.
"Miss Punzalan." We heard our designer call Lauren.
"Just wait love ah." Lauren was letting me know so I nodded to her.
When Lauren left, Junric suddenly put his arm around me.
"Tol, Nikita?" He said so I frowned.
"What's wrong with him?"
"Won't you invite him?" He asked so I thought again.
How can I take him away if he himself begged me to stay away from him?
"I-I don't know. I-he doesn't want to see me anymore." I told my friend.
"You really hurt him a lot." He said and let go of his arm around me.
"But I'll try to go to him." I said and I don't know what I thought again. As far as I know, I want to see him before I get tied to Lauren.
When Lauren approached me I held her hand.
"I want to go see Nikita." I will be honest. I could see his face became serious.
"Will you invite him?" He asked more. I nodded slowly.
"Isn't it insensitive for us to invite someone we have hurt?" He said so I bowed.
I haven't spoken yet.
After we went to the shop, I took Lauren home to rest because she was also busy with her work and taking care of our wedding.
I also went home. When I entered my room I saw an invitation letter on my table.
This is the invitation I would have given to Nikita for our wedding.
I want to go to him.
I decided to see him so I took the invitation letter to go to Nikita.
When I got to their house I took another deep breath before coming down.
Nervously, I rang the doorbell. A woman opened the doorbell for me three times.
I think this is your mother.
"What about us?" The woman said it was almost the same age as mommy.
"N-Nikita please?" I said.
"Huh? My son? It's been a long time since I left and went to the States." Nikita's mother said that's why I was depressed.
He left?
Without telling me?
H-I can't see him anymore?
Nikita's POV,
"Uyyy awake Witch pregnant!" I heard Hanz say.
I heard him but I was really lazy to get up so I just ignored him.
"Witchhh!" He shouted softly and held me by the ear so I woke up quickly. I really have a weak spot on my ear so when someone touches or whispers to it I am really shocked.
"What is it?" I said in disgust because I was really lazy to get up.
I also feel like my son doesn"t want to get up either. He doesn't kick me so I know he's still asleep.
"What's that? Let's check ..." He said and pulled the blanket towards me.
"Because ehhh! I'm still lazy. Later kasiiii!" I scolded like a child because I said yes, I'm still really lazy.
"No buts to me Witch. Get up and you might suddenly give birth there because we don't know the update there on your little witch." Hanz said and pulled me to get up.
"Kasiiii!" I nodded and stood up.
"It's early."
"What's up? Hey girl, it's noon oh. It's 12:03 ohhh!" He said more and even showed me his watch.
"Oh? All right, I'll just take a shower. There you are, Panot Wizard who is Angry and Ugly!" I said and pinched his cheek.
"Awwwww!" He shouted again.
I immediately ran to the bathroom so that he wouldn't hit me. I don't know why I'm staring at his cheek. I'm distracting him.
Oh My Goshhh! Maybe my son will also be the Panot Wizard who is Angry and Gay.
Yes, we already know his gender. We've known for a long time and I must say that he's a boy. A healthy baby boy. I hope it doesn't look like Wizard, but nakuuu! Big problem!
Just a joke! My bestfriend is so handsome!
So that's it, I've taken a bath more than many horses. Scrub, soap amd then shampoo. After I took a bath, I went out to get dressed.
As a pregnant woman, I will just wear a hanging floral dress because I am no longer allowed to wear pants the size of my belly.
I'm 8 months pregnant and we're expecting my baby to come out next month.
Hanz and I have already made his bed here. He also has clothes and because Hanz is even more excited than me, he also bought toys for the baby even though he was still young.
After I got dressed I went downstairs and saw Hanz preparing something for us to eat.
I stopped going down and just stared at him.
My luck to you Hanz. Even if I can't give back how you feel to me, you are still there for me.
How can you teach the heart to the person you love?
Is it really taught?
I don"t know how to repay all you did for me.
How I wish I could only love you. But why until now, do I still feel him my heart beating? Why not you?
"Oh, you're beating me up again?" I was back in my trance when he noticed me looking at him.
I approached him and punched him.
"Its thick!" I said pinching his cheek again.
"Arayyy Nikita! It hurts so much." He said sullenly as he rubbed his cheek.
"Heheh! It's your face's fault why I want to pinch him." I said and took a hotdog once I ate it.
"Why don't you admit to me that you're already on fire?" He even said so I looked at him.
"Just a joke! Here it is!" He just said and took a hotdog as well.
"Hanz ---"
"Don't talk. I'll just get hurt." He said and smiled wryly.
"I'm sorry." I just said and bowed.
"Aish! You don't have to. I promise I'll wait even if God doesn't predestine me to you?" He even said so I smiled.
"Don't please!" I'm sorry to tell him. "I don't want you to confine yourself to his thoughts. I want you to have someone who will love you the you love them. That girl is not me. You don't need to settle for the girl who is already broken and has a child at her age. A girl who is not me. " I said and looked down.
"If that time will come, promise me that I will still be your bestfriend and that no one will replace me on your heart. Promise me that there will still be a place for me." I just told him.
He held my hand. "Even if I'll find that girl, I will promise that she's not gonna replace you in my heart as my bestfriend." He said more.
I hope that girl will come to your life. And if God will really destined us, then I will be the happiest person on Earth.
"Let's go." I said and stood up.
"You're done?" He said so I nodded and walked out.
I don't want my bestfriend to take part of my life because I don't want to include him in the chaotic life I have.
I got in his car and he got in too. We just talked the whole trip about the company and my baby.
He was really excited that my baby came out because he wanted something more delicious. Diba? Is he very kind?
Remind me not to let Hanz hold this baby of mine.
When we arrived at the place where we were checked by a Filipino doctor, we entered. I chose to hire a Filipina doctor as a gynecologist because I have more trust in my countrymen.
"Oh, there you are Niks. How are you?" The doctor greeted me after Hanz and I entered.
"I'm fine doc. Really excited for my baby." I just said to her. He laughed and guided me into the room where we were being examined.
He laid me down and aimed a laser at me to see my baby.
"So far, baby is ok. His head is already lying down and in one month you will give birth." The doctors said.
I saw Hanz staring at the monitor where my baby's ultrasound was.
"When will that be doc? What is the exact date?" Hanz suddenly asked.
"Let me check your record." The doctor said more and handed me the record paper.
"On February 14."
