Chapter 19 He deserves to know

All the way home in the cab, Luna was silently crying wondering what she was going to do. She was contemplating on telling him and not telling him because it was evident that to him it was just a one night stand. Having grown up parentless, she had never wished any of her children to go through the same. But Luna knew one thing for sure that she would never abort her child. Not only because the child was innocent but also because it was from the only man she has ever loved. And to her having a part of him with her was enough.

She reached home and opened the door and found Bella watching TV. She started," You remember this soa-Luna what happened?" she immediately came to her. Luna just cried the more and hugged her tightly. After some time, she decreased her crying and said," I have something to tell you. But please don't judge me," she pleaded. "I would never judge you for anything dear," Bella assured her. "I'm pregnant," she said straight forwardly but Bella didn't seem to be surprised.

"You knew?" she asked. "I had my suspicions. You had lost appetite and you even stopped using perfumes. I even heard you yesterday puking after dinner and you had even become pale. I wasn't sure because I knew you were single and I thought you're a virgin. What I know is that this has something to do with that trip to Blue City so tell me everything." Luna nodded and began narrating each and everything not leaving any detail and how she got to know about the pregnancy. Bella couldn't help but become guilty because she was the one who had to make that interview. Knowing Graham Cullen's reputation she was sure that she would have been able to resist him unlike her naive and innocent friend who fell prey for his charms.

She sighed and said," I'm so sorry because I put you through all this." "Of course not. It's not like you told me to trust him. I'm not a kid Bella I knew what I was getting into. I'm only worried for my baby because I don't want it to be fatherless." Bella thought for a while and said," Didn't you say that you were the one who ran away from his Villa the next morning? And he also prepared dinner for you?" Luna nodded and Bella said," Then there's the tiniest possibility that he may accept to take responsibility. I think he deserves to know as a father." Luna thought about it and said," I don't think so. He might think I'm a gold digger or worse he may say it's not his." "That's why you should tell him and you know what he's thinking. If he in any way rejects it, we shall then be rest assured that we are raising the child on our own. But you will never know unless you try." "So you mean I should call him?" asked Luna. "No. You're traveling to Blue City to talk to him personally. Had I not been busy at work we would have gone together." "But when?"asked Luna. "He has a match they are advertising everywhere the day after tomorrow so I think it's when you will go. The pitch grounds will be chaotic and noisy as you know he has many fans so you will go straight to his Villa and wait for him from there." Luna felt as if a heavy lift has been lifted off her shoulder after sharing with her friend and coming up with a solution.

They hugged and Luna said," Thank you so much for being there for me. I'm really lucky to have a friend like you." "Don't worry I'm always here. And I will support you all the way on any decision that you take," she assured her. After Bella stood up and said," Okay you have to go freshen up as I prepare something less spicy for you. I know you have no appetite but you should try for the sake of the baby in your womb okay?" Luna nodded and stood up to her room.

After the bath, Bella brought her food and Luna tried eating though it seemed bland on her tongue. Bella said," I think I should contact your boss and tell him that you're sick so that he gives you some day offs since you're going to Blue City." Luna nodded and Bella got his personal number then talked to him but she could feel the coldness in his voice and she could tell why. After a few minutes, he hang up and Bella said," He said take a week's leave. He's really understanding."

Bella was really smitten by Ethan Carter. Ever since she had dinner with him she had never stopped thinking about him but she knew that she was only fantasizing the impossible because his eyes were on her friend and she could only sigh in surrender.
