Unwanted Child! Part II

“But I want…" he said before turning to look at the bustling restaurant where no one paid attention to them. So, he placed his palm on Petch's lap. His hand slowly slid down under Petch’s short skirt while his gaze conveyed his desire. Pulling herself together before falling into the abyss, Petch swiped off the senior's hand and stared at his face in disappointment.

“Why are you doing this?”

“Oh… well, a woman confesses her love to a man like this. Anyone will think that you want something.” Upon hearing her senior’s accusation, she slapped him hard on his face. Tears of disappointment flowed down her face.

“Damn! I shouldn't have fallen in love with an asshole like you!" saying that she ran out of the restaurant and left her senior, who still had a smile at the corners of his mouth. He couldn’t care less about her feelings.

And that was why Petch decided to get over Professor Kawee and only paid attention to Traithip’s love until the couple ended up getting married. Her wedding day was the last day she met Professor Kawee. After three years, she saw him again for the first time at the hospital for a check-up.

Petch secretly hoped that time would make him forget about that night, similar to her, who was trying to forget. So, she could genuinely see him as her senior like before...

“Hey Petch, you are here. Come in.” The doctor invited Petch into his room. The woman walked in with uncertainness before sitting down on the long sofa in the living room of his condo. The doctor served water to his junior and sat down on the opposite side. His smile was so charming that she couldn't help but be moved by his smile.

“I'm sorry, Petch, that you had to come to the condo. Just today I...I don't have any shifts, so I don't want to go out. About the important thing that you want to consult with me, I suspect that we need to talk for a long time. Talking in a private place like this would be more comfortable. If we talk at the ward, the talkative nurses might gossip about us,” he reasoned. Petch nodded her understanding and went straight to the point.

“What should I do? No matter what I say, Trai doesn't listen to me at all. He is just giving it all up."

"My friend, Trai, is acting like this again. He is making a mountain out of a molehill. I’d already said that there was a way to make you pregnant, but he didn't believe me at all. He has been like this ever since... You know that, right?" The doctor asked and the girl nodded. “Let’s do this. I'll call him to discuss the details again. If he still doesn't listen again, I'll kick him in the ass. This idiot is still acting like a child. How can he be a father? Right, Little one?"

Petch did not answer but only smiled.

“Petch, do you have anything else to ask me?”

“I would like to ask about the method that you said can make me pregnant. Is there any way? What's the feasibility of getting pregnant?”

“Well, that's going to be a long discussion. Let's talk together with Trai. I'll explain to you at the same time,” said the doctor and went to sit up next to Petch, who immediately felt insecure. “Little one, you really want to have children, right?”

“Yes…I do,” Petch replied but did not meet the interlocutor's eyes. She felt him move closer and closer until the girl couldn't move away from him anymore.

“Do you know that you are still as beautiful as when you were in university, Little one?” The young man looked at her chest. Petch pulled her shirt to cover herself and said thank you.

"Thank you very much. I will get going now. I've been bothering you for too long." Finished speaking, Petch got up immediately. She was about to exit the room; however, the professor’s hand grabbed Petch’s arm and pulled her back to sit on the sofa like before. The girl tried to struggle as hard as she could.

“Why are you in such a hurry, Little one? We are having fun here.”

“Let go of me now, doctor. If you don't let go, I will cry for help, don't make others lose faith in your profession like I do.” The young woman scolded her senior while struggling to get out of his arms. The professor burst into laughter as he eagerly kissed the girl.

“I love you, Little one. I’ve loved you for a long time and I know that you love me too. I can see it in your eyes... I’m saying correctly, ain’t I?"

“Don’t, doctor. I’m married and my husband is your friend.” The girl tried to reason. Strangely... her heart melted, like a powerless person. She felt hot flashes like she had never felt with her husband before.

"Petch...I love you, Little one." The last sentence made her heart flutter...until she finally surrendered herself to him!

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Petch hated herself every time she recalled what happened that day. Though no one knew, she knew in her heart. Was she still in love with Professor Kawee? It had been a long time. But why these feelings had not faded even though she tried to forget...forget about the love she had for him and thought she could move on. But the truth was...she had been fooling herself all this time. She had never been able to do it even once.

Petch knew she was at fault...No one knew but herself who found herself repulsive every time she looked in the mirror.

Such a slut!

Traithip was not guilty of anything. The wrong person was herself. Therefore, she had no right to hurt her husband. She had to put an end to it all by stopping seeing the professor because she didn't know when the desire inside her would erupt again.

The story she assumed she could let go of was now leaving a mark on her... The mark would stigmatize her until the day of her death. No one could ever erase the scars as it was gradually resurfacing more and more every single day.

She was pregnant with Professor Kawee!

Petch made up her mind to see the professor at the ward to tell him what happened to her. When the doctor found out, he had a slightly shocked expression. He wouldn't have thought that sleeping with her just once would get the woman pregnant.

“You’re pregnant? ... Are you serious, Little one?!” It was hard to predict whether he was bewildered or delighted. The professor hurriedly moved his work chair closer to Petch and embraced her. "I'm thrilled... that we’ll have a child together."

“Yes, I’m pregnant. At first, I wasn’t sure. So, I went to buy a pregnancy test at Muay's shop in front of the alley to check it out. It turned out that I’m really pregnant. But I wanted to make sure, so I went to have a test at the clinic. The doctor confirmed that I’m pregnant. I didn't sleep with anyone except Trai and you. Because Trai is barren; hence, the child must be yours!”

“Do you know that... I’m so glad?... I’m about to become a dad!”

“Doctor... It's not good news. I’m married and have a husband. If he knew, what would happen? Trai is hot-headed. He must take this matter to the Medical Council for sure. If that’s the case, you will have to lose your job. I would be ashamed to be known as a woman who cheated on her husband!" Petch's voice was hoarse. Big tears flowed from those dull eyes.

“I know… and I want you to keep this a secret, about us and our children too.”

“How long can we keep it, doctor? My belly is growing every single day.” The woman was still worried while the professor gently patted her head sympathetically.

“I will take care of this. Let me handle my work first and we will run away together. We will go to a place where no one can find us. Leave and start a small family that has a father, mother, and child. Do you still want to have a family with me?”
