Benjamin and Kristi stopped when they heard a knock on their door.
“Benjamin!” Joana shouted his son’s name. She was angry.
Benjamin was startled when he heard his mother’s angry voice.
“Benjamin, how dare you do this? You aren’t married but you are stroking her!” Joana shouted like crazy. Kristi pursed her lips and was amazed by Benjamin’s mom.
“Benjamin!” Joana keeps yelling his son’s name. She can’t accept the fact that his son f*ck his girlfriend in his room.
“How dare you, Benjamin! I didn’t raise you to be like this!” She shouted again.
Ronnie sighed again at what his wife did. He went nearer to her and pulled her towards their room.
“Your son! I know he’s doing something nasty inside his room!” Joana pinch her husband and Ronnie yelled in pain.
“Honey, I know your son plans to marry Kristi, don’t worry,” Ronnie comforted his wife. But Joana gently punched him.
“I want them to get married first! You are like your son, you f*ck me first before you marry me. Kristi was special!” Joan was angrier.
Benjamin and Kristi put their clothes on. Kristi walked out of Benjamin’s room and looked at his mother.
“Auntie, don’t worry I’m planning to marry your son,” Kristi said. Joana stopped and looked at Kristi with admiration.
“It’s alright if you don’t want to marry my jerk son, I like you, Kristi,” Joana nodded her head. Her mood changes quickly.
Ronnie scratched his head. He was stressed because of their business and now his wife.
“Mom, stop it! What are you telling her?” Benjamin can’t believe his mother.
“Are you shouting at me, Benjamin?” Joana looked at his son with murderous eyes.
“Auntie, he’s not shouting at you, calm down, I love your son, and don’t worry we will be married as soon as possible,” Kristi said with a calm tone.
Benjamin and Kristi live together, Alessandro approves of it because he wants Kristi to be happy. Kristi will visit Alessandro in their house if she wasn’t busy and if Benjamin was working in their company.
“Are you happy, Kristi?” Alessandro asked his stepsister. Kristi nodded her head and smiled.
“I’m bothered,” Alessandro told her. Kristi looked at him with confusion.
“I’m scared, Margaret was too silent in New York. I didn’t have a chance to talk to Jake,” Alessandro explained.
It’s been five months since her mother left them. Kristi feels scared again.
“Alessandro, what did you mean?” Kristi can’t help herself but ask.
“Your mother doing nothing, I went to New York but nobody’s there,” Alessandro informed her.
“You mean mom doesn’t leave here? That she is always here?” Kristi questions him. Alessandro nodded.
“I thought they went there but they didn’t stay there for so long, I want you to prepare yourself, Kristi, you know your mother’s doings,”
Alessandro grabbed a drink and tasted it. Kristi looked at him with wide eyes. She feels that her head is gonna be explode
“Alessandro, I’m scared,” Kristi whispered. She didn’t want to get punished again, she thought about Benjamin.
“Maybe she’s secretly watching us, be vigilant, Kristi,” Alessandro told her and patted her head.
“Don’t be scared, Benjamin and me were with you always,” Alessandro whispered to her.
Kristi went back to Benjamin’s house. She felt that someone was following her. She was in a panic.
She touches her head when she feels that she was dizzy. She massaged her head and sighed. She lay down on their bed.
She feels that she’s gonna be puke so she immediately stands up and runs toward the bathroom.
She pukes everything that she eats. She sighed and get her toothbrush to brush her teeth. She looked at her reflection. She looked haggard and looked at the heartbeat on her neck.
She went to her napkin storage and it’s been two months since she didn’t have her period. Kristi’s eyes went wider.
She immediately gets the pregnancy test that she bought last week. She obeyed the instruction and wait for the results.
Benjamin was happy that his working time is finally over. He looked at his father who was tapping his shoulder.
“Benjamin, I’m proud of you, son!” Ronnie told to his son. Benjamin laughed and looked at his cellphone. He was confused when Kristi didn’t even text him.
“Oh, what happened?” Ronnie asked his son. Benjamin sighed.
“I thought there is something wrong with Kristi, dad,” Benjamin says and gently massages his head.
It’s been a month since they make love, whenever he wanted to do it, Kristi was always refuse. Does Kristi still love him?
“I can’t explain it, dad, you know when I wanted to make love with her, she always shouted at me and refuse!” Benjamin shared with his father. Ronnie nodded his head.
“Maybe, she’s on her period, son!” Ronnie said. Benjamin pouted and looked away. His heart was aching for thinking that Kristi didn’t want him anymore.
“Last time, I bought her a fried chicken. She woke me up and told me that she wanted to eat,” Benjamin says and his eyes went wider.
“She’s pregnant?”
She’s pregnant!” They said in chorus. Ronnie looked at his son with a proud look.
“Check it, Benjamin! maybe she’s pregnant that’s why she’s always moody!” Ronnie commanded his son. He was excited to have a grandchild and he knows that his wife was more excited than he.
“But how?” Benjamin asked. Ronnie massages his head, he feels like he wanted to hit his son.
“Do whatever you want, ask Kristi,” Ronnie simply advised.
Kristi was looking at the clock and closed her eyes. She was nervous and hold the pregnancy test. She heard a knock that’s why she secretly hide the pregnancy test without seeing the result.
“Kristi, are you alright?” she heard Joana’s voice. Kristi went to the door and opened it.
Joana was shocked when she saw how haggard her daughter in law.
“Are you sick? Let me get the medicine,” Joana said but Kristi stopped her.
“Auntie, I just want to rest, I’m tired,” Kristi whispered. Joana nodded her head but they both looked at the door when they heard Ronnie and Benjamin coming back to the house.
Kristi runs toward the bathroom when she puked again. She feels weak. She was shocked when she saw Benjamin looking at her.
Benjamin was holding the pregnancy test that she bought. His eyes were in tears.
“You’re pregnant!” Benjamin shouted happily. He hugged her and planted a soft kiss on her face.
“Wait, I don’t want to cry! it’s embarrassing!” Benjamin was annoyed but Kristi cried too.
“I love you, Kristi,” he whispered and claimed her lips.
