Evelyn's Regret

Sixty Six

Aira never felt so excited like today when she was going to meet Darrel. 3 hours before Darrel picked up Aira had prepared himself, several times he changed his clothes to look perfect.

"Do you know my mom, son?" Said Aira while rubbing and staring at her stomach, really this is very pleasant. Inviting the fetus in his birth to talk seems to be his new habit. It's nice to realize that he's no longer alone.

Aira knew what happened between her and Darrel was a mistake. But can he be happy for the presence of their future baby? Realizing a mistake does not mean having to throw away this innocent baby, right? Well Aira did not want to add to the sin by eliminating the baby growing in her womb. Aira chose to take responsibility for her mistake.

Aira met Darrel who had been waiting on the porch of her house. It calms the heartbeat that is beating rapidly.

"Let off now?" Darrel asked as Aira was already in his presence.

"Yes Rel" Aira replied with a faint smile. Aira tried to restrain herself from showing too much of her yearning to Darrel. Since then, she has been wanting to hug the man.

Darrel takes Aira to the private room of a restaurant remembering last night Aira said she wanted to talk to him. He did not want their conversation to get disturbed.

"What do you want to eat?" Ask Darrel softly. Aira had gotten used to Darrel's gentle demeanor long ago, yet today her flowery feelings received all the man's treatment of her, all looking sweet in Aira's eyes.

"Well, I'll go with you" Aira kept trying to be as relaxed as ever. Darrel ordered a menu for the two of them. He ordered Aira's favorite food.

After a few minutes waiting for the food ordered has been presented at the dining table, initially Aira's eyes sparkled to see her favorite rib soup that was so evocative, so, however as she started to smell her scent suddenly Aira felt so nauseous. He refrains from vomiting by distancing himself and turning his face to neutralize his smell.

"You why Ra?" Darrel asked who saw Aira's strange-looking reaction.

"I'm okay, Rails. But it looks like I'm not eating, I-I'm nauseous" Aira said hesitantly. Darrel's forehead wrinkled in wonder

"You sick Ra?"

The water could not stand the smell of food. He moved away towards the corner of the sofa which was quite far from the dining table. Darrel immediately followed the girl questioningly.

"Rel sorry, you ate it yourself. I wait for you here after that we just talk" Aira stared guiltily.

"Ra really why are you?" Darrel sat beside Aira close enough that the scent of the man's body greeted Aira's nose. The girl suddenly closed her eyes, her feeling felt more comfortable now.

"I'm fine Rel, you just eat first. Just talk later" said Aira.

"We're talking now. I don't want to eat alone" Broke Darrel.

Aira was silent for a while, well if indeed Darrel wanted to talk now it might have been his time.

Aira handed a small box extending to Darrel. The man is getting confused.

"Open the Rail" Aira stared deeply at her Friend.

Darrel opens the box and finds an object that is actually not foreign but his brain is not immediately able to digest it.

"Is this Ra?" Darrel lifted the flat object and flipped it.

"What does Ra mean?"

"I'm pregnant with Rel, I'm 2 weeks late from her schedule." Aira lowered her head, afraid of the man's reaction. Darrel does repeatedly offer her responsibility, but she is not sure Darrel will accept the presence of this fetus.

"Rel, after that night I never slept with anyone again. I can guarantee that the baby I'm carrying is your child. You agree or not I'll keep his Rel. Even if you don't want to take it...."

"What are you talking about?" Darrel interrupted Aira before the girl continued her sentence.

"Look at me Ra" whispered a gentle Darrel. He grabbed Aira's chin to look at her.

"Are you really pregnant?" Aira saw those eyes so sparkling and hopeful. Aira just nodded her head.

"You want to keep her? you don't hate him?" Ask Darrel again.

"I can't possibly hate my own flesh and blood Rel. We're guilty, why should I hate him?" Firmly Aira, her forehead wrinkled as tears dripped from Darrel's eyes but her smile was wide-eyed.

Darrel pulls Aira into his arms, Aira freezes as Darrel plows down the top of his head with a lot of kisses

"Thank you for keeping our baby Ra, thank you for being willing to carry her. I'm so happy, we'll take care of her and keep her with Ra"

Darrel can not cover the feeling of haru due to being too happy, he did not expect he would be a father especially Aira did not hate their baby at all even though the way they present it is wrong.

"Ra, marry me. We have to give him a complete parent. I beg you not to be stubborn" Darrel said as he rubbed Aira's flat stomach. Aira's body stiffened Darrel's touch making her seem stung.

"Ra" the heavy voice full of Darrel's pleas made Aira immediately aware of her frostiness.

"Yes Rel I want" Aira said with a smile. Darrel's eyes were perfectly rounded as if in disbelief Aira had finally accepted her proposal after repeatedly refusing.

"Thank you Ra I will always make you and our son Ra happy." Darrel hugged Aira's body tightly. The girl just nodded.

'No matter if you don't love your mom, seeing her so happy with your presence is enough for you dear mom. For your sake mama will give it all away' Bisik Aira.

"So that's why you're nauseous? So what do you want to eat Ra? you have to eat, our baby has to get enough nutrition" Darrel said excitedly.

"I don't know Rel, there's no food I want right now" Aira really hasn't been lusting after any food.

"How long have you felt this? you must feel tormented, Ra" Worry mixed with guilt radiated in his eyes.

"It's only today that Rel, maybe he wants me to be completely aware of his existence given that I ignored him all along" Aira said with a smile. Darrel felt the warmth of hearing Aira's words.

"Sad sorry papa and mama yes, not aware of your existence all this time. Don't sulk baby, pity mama can't eat" whispered Darrel while rubbing Aira's stomach.

Really Dada Aira felt ardent for Darrel's treatment and speech. He did not expect Darrel would behave this sweet, he felt to be the happiest woman because of her. Even though Darrel doesn't love him, this kind of attention is enough for him. Aira is getting married to Darrel.
