Chapter 257 - Mike's Confession
Jakarta09:32 am
Sarah was sitting in the chair in the garden next to her house, gazing at the blooming flowers with beautiful butterflies. Flowers didn't quite describe her right now, because she looked even worse as she continued to have a tinge of sadness etched on her face. Tears were friends who always accompanied her because the image of Edward still wandered in her mind. The pregnant woman rubbed her big belly then looked up at the blue sky, imagining that her late husband could see her current state.
"Edward... I don't know how I'm going to continue this life. I can't forget you, I feel like I've experienced death in my life, I'm tired...!" Tears were flowing again. for the umpteenth time Sarah cried, no matter where she was, if the memory of Edward came back to her mind, then she couldn't hold back her tears.
From the side yard of the house, a car coming from the direction of the orange painted gate stopped in the courtyard. the owner of the car got out and saw Sarah sitting alone.
Mike sighed when he saw Sarah who was still gloomy and gloomy as if she had no zest for life, he took a paper bag from his car and then brought it over to Sarah.
Sarah who was crying was only indifferent when she realized Mike's arrival. Sometimes the man-made him comfortable, but sometimes she also felt bored because he always came without missing a day.
"Sarah," said Mike then sat down next to Sarah. "Have you had breakfast?" he asked then.
"I'm not hungry," Sarah replied curtly. Okay, maybe that's the original attitude that did not like Mike.
"You have to eat, Sarah, your child needs nutrition to be born healthy," Mike coaxed then handed her the paper bag he had brought. "I brought a cake for you, still warm it would taste better. I'll make milk for you too," he said.
"I don't want milk or anything, Mike. Just go, I want to be alone," Sarah cried without looking back.
Mike sighed, again Sarah ignored him. he was almost frustrated with the pregnant woman as if everything he did was meaningless.
"Then what do you want if you don't want to eat and drink anything? Do you want to torture the baby in your womb?" Mike asked sternly.
"That's none of your business, Mike. You'd better go," Sarah shouted curtly.
"Sarah, every day I'm with you, comforting you, doing everything for you. Doesn't it cross your mind to give me a little bit?" Mike asked narrowing his eyes at Sarah.
Sarah turned to look at Mike who cared about her. "Mike, I know you've been good to me all this time, I appreciate that. But leave me alone, I'm tired of all the drama in my life, maybe it's better if I don't exist in this world anymore because the world is too cruel to me!"
"What do you mean by that?" Mike asked curiously.
"I can't live like this, Mike. I've tried to survive this far and I'm tired, I can't take it anymore, seeing my child be born without a father, I can't!" Sarah got up from her seat, walked briskly into the house.
"Sarah! What are you going to do? Sarah!" Mike chased after Sarah who was currently entering the living room and again shut the door with a bang.
Brakkkk...
Sarah walked briskly into the kitchen, grabbing a knife. Mike, who had just entered, immediately grabbed the knife from Sarah's hand and then slammed it on the floor.
"Are you crazy? Why is your mind so spanking? Edward is not even a man who treats you well, in his life he always makes you cry! Why do you have to be like this because of him? Remember, this is all fate and you have to survive for the sake of your child!" Mike reminded firmly, holding Sarah's arms.
"I can't bear the birth of my child without a father! I can't, can't!" Sarah looked down and cried, feeling anxious about the effects of pregnancy coupled with feeling frustrated at the loss of her husband, which made her want to just give up.
Mike looked pityingly at Sarah who was afraid she couldn't give birth without a father figure for the baby in her womb. Okay, this means it's time for him to admit everything, with the hope that the woman will get back up and give up the intention to end her life.
"Sarah, look at me. I will always be by your side, allow me to marry you... because the truth is,"
"What the truth?" Sarah narrowed her eyes at Mike.
Mike was silent for a moment, mustering up the courage, to tell the truth. because if she wasn't honest, Sarah would continue to think that the baby in her womb had no father.
"What the truth, Mike? What are you hiding from me?" Sarah asked, frowning.
Mike closed his eyes, then said, "that child is my son!"
Sarah immediately pushed Mike's hand away from her arm, she took a step back and looked at Mike in disbelief. "Are you delirious? How can I be pregnant with your child when we have never had sex?"
Sarah was starting to get confused because she couldn't remember even having sex with Mike.
"We've done it before, Sarah, but you didn't realize you were on the drug Edward gave you. At that time, you passed out and were taken to a warehouse and Edward burned the warehouse. Lucky I came quickly and saved you, I don't know where to take you? Because you don't like it when I walk you to your father's house.
I finally brought you to my apartment. I can't stop myself from touching you, because I've always loved you so much. because Edward always denied that it was his child because he said he always gave you birth control pills after having sex with you, that means the baby in your womb is mine." Mike explained at length.
Sarah choked with a look that was difficult to interpret, swallowed her saliva, and slowly shook her head in disbelief. Tears welled up in her eyes, she felt her life becoming more and more like a drama. How could a best friend even harass her in an unconscious state?
"Sarah, your child is mine, it will be born and still have a chance to see the father. I am the father, I firmly believe in it, please stop being moody and let the child be born and we will take care of it together.
I love you, Sarah. let me marry you, willing Edward's death, let me take his place in your heart because there is a child between us." Mike spoke again after Sarah just stared at him silently.
"You've been harassing me, Mike ....you touched my body without me realizing anything and you said you saved my life?" Sarah shook her head and glared at Mike hatefully.
"You are the person I trust, why are you being so cruel to me, why?" Sarah snapped, getting emotional.
plakk...
in tears that began to break, Sarah immediately slapped Mike. Mike, who didn't expect Sarah's response to be like this, was confused, he held his cheeks which were hot from the slap.
