Katarina snorted and burst out laughing.
Samuel smiled back.
-Your husband was so boring then, he liked you as much as he liked you, and he had to find such an old-fashioned reason, like a lovesick high school student who was overbearing and forbade any member of the opposite sex from approaching the person he liked. But that determined look in his eyes left me in awe then, so we settled the question the manly way, with a fight, and whoever won, surrendered.
Katarina answers the question with indifference.
-And then what?
Samuel rubbed her eyes.
-I had two teeth come out and I was embarrassed to break up with you in person, so I texted you and took you out.
Katarina sighs, so, that’s what happened, all the things she once clung to are now answered?
-Katarina, I was really into you, not playing with you, just said I would protect you and take care of you and turned around and left you, only really I was too spontaneous at the time though….
All Katarina could think about was Antonio, how he must have felt when he liked her so much, but stopped because of his mother’s demand for revenge, and how he couldn’t see another member of the opposite sex near him….
Half a moment passed before Samuel’s words were received and her eyes lifted to look at him.
-But what?
Samuel was still watching her, seeing her lost in her own thoughts, her face serene, remembering the beauty of his beloved….
-However, I was right to give up, you are happily married to him and you have a smile that I probably couldn’t give. Katarina, today my unannounced goodbye from then is erased and I do not regret it, I officially say goodbye to the past….
After talking a while longer with Samuel, the two said goodbye, Samuel with his eyes still wide open.
-Katarina, you are always welcome to come and see me when you come to Yakydiza, and you will be warmly welcomed as a couple.
Katarina smiles and nods.
-I will visit my uncle again some other time.
I had thought about going to visit him earlier, but I had a lot of things to do and was putting it off, plus it wasn’t a good idea to go without meeting Katarina first.
Still in agreement, Katarina left the cafeteria together, Samuel towards the subway parking lot and she towards the hospitalization unit.
The mind is still full of thoughts, time goes by so fast, in an instant, so many years after leaving school, once things to worry about, also a long time are no longer important….
Passing by the clinic building, stopped dead in its tracks.
Thinking of my seven or eight disorderly menstruation, I should also take some medicine, I just told my mother to be careful, I should also lead by example ….
Looking at the time, there was still more than half an hour to go, so she made a quick trip to record a number.
The gynecologist listened to Katarina’s description and pushed up her glasses to look at her.
-Miss Katarina, could you be pregnant?
Katarina looked at her in surprise and suddenly became excited.
-How, how is it possible, I also saw bleeding this morning… more than ten days ago, and it also came once, I mean, only a very small amount, but I always have a small amount, I used to have a very messed up physiology…..
Katarina was a bit incoherent as it was the doctor who raised the question, she was a bit expectant but more than that, she was afraid that the slightest hint of expectation would be lost….
-Miss Katarina, take it easy. Normally, a woman does not have her period after becoming pregnant. However, this does not mean that it is absolute. Some pregnant women continue to bleed on the due date of their next menstruation. A woman who experiences that after pregnancy is characterized by less bleeding, lighter color, and shorter days than at any time in the past. It usually occurs in the first 3 months of pregnancy and is usually only seen once, although some women experience it 2 or 3 times.
Katarina’s heart beats fast, bleeds less, has a lighter color, and the days are shorter, it seems like it is….
-You also just described being quite sleepy lately, although you don’t feel like it, but your appetite is quite good when you eat, so I would suggest you take an early pregnancy test first.
Katarina put her hands to her chest and nodded awkwardly.
She was going to get pregnant, she was going to do it, and her father would be so happy to know!
I don’t know how excited I was to take the test, my heart was pounding out of my chest with nerves, watching the doctor read the test report, it seemed like she had never been so nervous in her life….
Halfway through the day, the doctor showed up, his face stony.
Katarina’s heart hung in the air for a moment, why, her expression was so heavy, was it a bad result?
-Miss Katarina, you don’t really want the baby, do you?
Go Katarina stood up.
-I want it! Of course I want it.
Her heart burst with ecstasy and, from what the doctor said, she really was pregnant!
The doctor was startled and unconsciously explained.
-I just saw your reaction, it’s not like you want a baby…..
Katarina shook her head, wanting to laugh and cry.
-I want it, I want it so much that I’m going crazy…..
The doctor was relieved that she knew Sister Martinez, naturally, and nodded reassuringly.
She had only thought that she was another teacher who would not get pregnant for the sake of her figure, of her beauty, but it did not seem to be so.
-I am going to prescribe a medicine to calm the fetus and replenish the blood, take it on time, try to stay relaxed and rest well, also, comply with your check-ups on time, next time bring your loved one, being a father is for two people and you should not…”. You should not be the one running around. It is time to close the ultrasound room, so choose another time in the next few days to have an ultrasound to determine the number of weeks of the baby and to see if the implantation is stable.
Katarina agreed, extraordinarily cheerful, and as she watched the doctor prescribe the medication on the computer, she took out her cell phone and was the first to call Antonio to tell him the good news that he was going to be a father….
She didn’t pick it up until the phone hung up automatically, she was a little sad not to have shared the joy with him, but there was no hurry, there was still time to tell him when he came back in the afternoon, so she could see how excited he was!
With that thought, she was glad he hadn’t answered the phone again.
After receiving the doctor’s card, she thanked him for a while, went to the pharmacy and picked up her medication, then walked quickly to the vip inpatient department, her steps were a bit hurried, she hurried to slow down again, mentally explaining to herself, take it easy, calm down, calm down, she was wearing mid-heeled sandals, she had to go back and change into a flat pair….
Excited, she arrived at her father’s apartment and wondered why the bodyguard guarding the door was missing.
Have you gone to the bathroom?
Without much thought, she approached the door and only pushed it a crack when she heard a familiar female voice, full of anger, mixed with a hint of repression and pain.
-Kimberly, you didn’t expect that, did you?
