Angels

I looked outside as I remembered what had happened earlier. The rain pours heavily... I hope they safely get home.

"Why did you leave the house?! What if someone sees you when you're with Nathan?! What will people think?! I'm just concerned about you. I'm your friend so I don't want you to ruin your reputation." Felix glanced at me with anxious eyes. I averted my eyes from him and focused my gaze on the window. He is currently sitting in the driver's seat while glancing at me. I pointed my finger at the rainwater slowly sliding through the car window.

-Flashback-

"Why did you leave, it's already late?" Nathan grabbed the child's shoulder worriedly and knelt in front of him. He kissed the boy's forehead and hugged him tightly.

I missed him. I want to ask why he didn't tell me that we broked up... why did he suddenly disappear without giving me any closure. Do you want me to die? My father's words echo in my mind. I don't want to risk my father's heart. He's too old to experience another heart attack.

"Father, I'm looking for a Mom."

"Aren't Mother Gina enough?" My mood changed immediately, who the hell is Mother Gina? My eyebrows furrowed as I look at this playboy priest in front of me.

"I am happy with them but they are not able to do what my new mother did. She defended me from those who were fighting with me and gave me milk because she said she would not let his son be hungry." The boy smiled at me so Nathan looked at me too. I could clearly see the shock on his face. He immediately recovered from the shock and smiled a little at me but I did not reciprocate. The fact that the present is different from the past strikes me again. Because if before even if he can't see me he knew if I was close to him ... now it's different, he didn't even notice my presence.

I remember when we met drunkards on the corner of the streets. Even if I didn't want to run away and hide, he begged and pleads me to. I was hiding in the dark part of the corner of the street when I felt that someone's coming. I was about to cry because I was worried about what had happened to him and because I was afraid of what might happen to me, so I cried out in shock when someone suddenly hugged me. I was about to hit the cellphone I was carrying to him, even though I knew that it can't do anything but the flashlight on my cellphone hit his eyes causing me to witnessed the man with brown eyes. I asked him how he found me, It was dark in that part. I will never forget his answer. The answer that made me fall for him even more. "Even though my eyes can't see you, I can feel whenever you're around. It's because it's not my eyes that I used to see that you're splendid, my heart is the one who taught me where is the woman I will spend my life with."

My irritated mood is added with a sad one. How could he not notice that I'm here? And who is mother Gina?

Nathan sighed while still looking at the kid. "Shes a Nun." My cheeks heated immediately. How does he know that I'm secretly jealous?

"Son, a Mother's ability should not be measured because it is immeasurable. It does not matter what she gives or what she can give to you, what matters is how she values ​​you." Tsk! She just doesn't want me to be the mother of his child!

I looked towards where I heard a loud closing of the car door and was surprised when Felix suddenly grabbed me by one arm and pushed me towards him then hugged me. Why do upcoming vehicles seem trendy today?

"A good husband does not neglect his wife outside especially when it's late at night." Nathan looks spontaneous while saying that. Why does it seem... I do not affect him anymore? Of course! I do not affect him anymore, that's why he became a priest without letting me know, right? I knew it's not his obligation but he must at least, aware me and give me a proper closure!

Felix clenched his jaw and glared at Nathan. He smirked mockingly. "Sorry, FATHER. Next time I will not let MY WIFE come out." I frowned when he emphasized his words. I pushed him slightly to break away from his embrace but looks like that makes him mad.

He turned to me and knelt slightly as he looks at my eyes. "Next time Angelie, let me know whenever you will leave our home. What if something bad happens to you? I want the mother of my future children healthy." He playfully winked at me. I could not oppose what he said because I knew I would also get to the point where I had to give him a child. It's my responsibility as his wife but I'm still not ready for it and I will never be.

He tilted his head slightly to catch a glimpse of Nathan on my back. "By the way, Father, thank you for earlier. Without you, I won't have my Mrs. Ramirez." He sniffed my hair "Anyways, we have to go." I frowned. Why do they act like they just met earlier? I mean, they're best friends before! But I also understand Felix. Maybe he is still sulking because Nathan didn't tell him also that he wanted to be a priest someday even though they've been friends for a very long time.

Felix grabbed my wrist and drag me to his car. Wait! My car!

"Careful!" I heard Nathan shouted. Gosh! Why do I feel like I am just a teenager?

"Don't worry FATHER, I can take care of MY WIFE," he said while emphasizing some of his words.

"Felix! I have a car." He glared at me as if commanding me to just come with him.

"I'll send it home. Let's go!" I rolled my eyes on him. The way he shouts at me, it's like I'm a dog and I have to follow him! I should have come in if I hadn't just remembered one thing. I glanced at Nathan and saw that they were about to get on the tricycle.

"Wait! s-son, what's your name?" Nathan and Felix stared at me, both shocked at what I said. I like this child, not because he's affiliated to Nathan but because there's something in him that makes me want to know him even better and love him even more.

"Asher, Asher Seraphim, Mom." He smiled at me with sparkling brown eyes. Tears welled up in my eyes as I stared at how happy he was. His small request is being ignored by most these days.

"Asher ... sounds like the word happy in Hebrew." I smiled at him sweetly.

"Seraphim ... an angel standing in the presence of God." I was startled when I glance at Nathan. I smiled because even though the child was not related to us, the name of the one who should be our first child was named after him. Asher Seraphim ...the name of our first child that we agreed on, that's why I'm sure I knew who named him ... Asher, son ... I love you right away.

Annoyed, Felix pushed me into the car and slammed the door shut. I glanced at Asher again but I was surprised when something caught my eyes. Nathan ... with tears streaming down on his brown eyes ...

-End of Flashback-

"Angelie! Are you listening to me?!" I glared at him. Does he need to shout?!

"Did you expect me to listen to your screams of pleasure inside our house?" I asked with a hint of sarcasm on my voice.

"Are you jealous?"

I frowned when I saw him holding back a smile. I folded my arms. "You should've at least, respect me or the house built by our parents! And seriously? You're worried about what people will think if they see Nathan and me together? Just as I've said, we're just together. Were not doing any lewdness and besides, he's my long time friend."

He kept laughing. "Just say you're jealous, you just prolong what you'll about to say. Hahahaha!"

I stared at him and just turned my gaze to the window again but I turned back to him when I was surprised by what he said next. Those words that makes me feel uneasy.

"Just tell me you're jealous. Promise, I'll stop whatever I'm doing."

I could not speak. I averted my eyes because I felt my cheeks getting hot. Whatever I'm feeling right now, I should stop it because it will not only hurt one person and it will hurt ... not only Adair but also Nathan...
