ELARA: FATED TO LOVE

37. Uncertain

Stevi is clearly confused by Shane's offer to set up a DNA test schedule for her daughter. If he follows the heart, he actually also wants to do the test to determine whether his son is Shawn's child or not, because in fact he does not know who is the child.

However, his selfish side always insisted on saying that it was Shawn's son, because the one who had been his girlfriend all this time was Shane's brother.

The problem is, even though her current status before conceiving is Shawn's lover, but he can't deny it to himself - if he also had frequent love overnight with several different men - when Shawn was traveling out of town.

The last time, before Shawn died in an accident, Stevi was also involved with two men in the same month. Both of which he does not remember his identity because he knows randomly in a nightclub.

"What if Shane's reckless and keeps registering the DNA test, while I'm not sure if this is Shawn's son." Stevi muttered to herself while nibbling on her own fingernails.

"In the same month I did get in touch with Shawn. But when Shawn went out of town, I did it with another guy whose shit I didn't know who they were because I was drunk, ah shit!" inner Stevi cursed herself.

Stevi is confused as to how he can camouflage everything so that he is on the side that cannot be blamed. His only hope is that this baby is Shawn's son. But, if not, then he should prepare to be kicked out of the Gladwin family's luxurious residence.

"Mother, I need to call mom and ask her for ideas."

Stevi called Gracia to ask her what she should do now. From the beginning, he was always open to his mother. He loves Shawn but gives his body to another man when he is busy, because Stevi often feels less cared for by the man.

...***...

Shane himself, strongly insisted on doing the DNA test - on Stevi's daughter - not without cause.

He did not suspect Stevi was having an affair. But, this was all because he remembered - an occasion when he had had a conversation with his biological brother - Shawn - who was none other than Stevi's lover.

At that time, of course, Shawn was still healthy and fine. Shawn once told Shane about his desire to not want a child in his later marriage relationship.

Shane's eyes glared as if imagining the moment his conversation with the older brother was taking place.

"So, did you choose childfree?" ask Shane who is interested in discussing it.

Childfree or child-free is a decision or life choice not to have children, be it a biological child, a stepchild, or a child, or foster-child where this is the decision Shawn took and told Shane at the time.

"Yes, I don't want it."

"Why?"

"You know I'm very busy, right? I'm afraid I can't spend time with my kids if they exist. I'm afraid they hate me for my incredible work."

"That's no excuse, Shawn," Shane replied. "You'll miss the figure of the child when you get older" he explained later.

"Yes, we could have one voice about work, but about this commitment I've thought about it carefully."

"Whatever, that's your right" Shane responded eventually.

Shane shook his head faintly, trying to disperse himself about the conversation he had with his late brother. And because of that he became doubtful that the child Stevi conceived was truly Shawn's.

Once Shane tried to think realistically, it's possible that Shawn and Stevi forgot to use safety so that the fetus was present in Stevi's womb. Yes, it could have happened but somehow Shane knows for sure if his brother is not a careless person. Shawn's a typical guy who's a perfectionist.

I don't know, because of the doubt that also prompted Shane to continue to urge Stevi to do DNA tests.

"If it wasn't Shawn's son, I'd make sure you'd regret cheating on my mom, Stev!" shane muttered as if talking to Stevi there.

His head was quite full of problems that later plagued his life. Especially about Elara and of course about Stevi's pregnancy.

...***...

In a different place, Elara taught her students patiently. The students that Elara taught ranged in age from seven to four dozen years. They think of Elara as their own sister and familiarize themselves with the girl.

Elara was happy with the situation, she felt she had many friends.

"Sister, if I grow up, do you want to be my wife?" chirp Calvin innocently. The 7-year-old boy said without being asked, as if he had just come out without being filtered first.

Elara giggled, she understood Calvin's innocence.

"You're gonna find a girl prettier and better than me, Calv. So, learn well so that you become a real man who is established later," responded Elara.

"I don't want to, Brother. I want you to."

"But if you grow up, I'll be old, Calv."

"Ah, that's just brother's excuse. Actually, it's the brother who doesn't want me, right? Why, Brother? Am I less handsome?" ask Calvin again with his innocent attitude.

Jasmine who was there also chuckled at the marriage invitation that Calvin proposed to Elara.

"It's not so, Calv. Exactly, when you grow up, Ms. Elara is married to another man" said Jasmine who made Calvin immediately frowned.

Elara and Jasmine immediately looked at each other when they saw the behavior of the boy. They both laughed together because they felt Calvin's behavior was very funny and innocent.

"What about me, Calv?" bargain Jasmine with the intention of persuading the sulking Calvin.

"No!" calvin said firmly. "I don't want it to be Ms. Jasmine," he grumbled as he folded his hands across his chest.

"Why? I'm not as pretty as Ms. Elara?" ask Jasmine.

"No, Ms. Jasmine was too chatty," said Calvin, who made Elara laugh later while Jasmine could not be angry at the boy's innocence.

"Am I a nag?" jasmine muttered to herself. But finally he chuckles too with Calvin and Elara there.

"I'm also chatty," admits Elara later.

"No. No. Sister Elara is not chatty," said Calvin.

"Then, if I don't fuss---"

"You're fierce, brother."

Elara and Jasmine's eyelids suddenly widened because of the Phoenix's reply - which suddenly chimed in on their chatter there.

"Yes, Brother Elara is fierce, but I still like her." Calvin gave a thumbs up towards Phoenix, and the two boys giggled in unison.
