Stubborn

Cathleen, who had been looking weak for the past week, and had to stay in the hospital for two days, has now begun to adapt to her own body condition, and her best friend has also taken part in organizing Cathleen's new lifestyle to keep her fit.

Some of the time, Fred's girlfriend also helps Cathleen.

There was no more crying like when she was in the hospital when she first found out about her pregnancy.

Cathleen has accepted her baby!

So, does that mean she will change her decision where she had previously chosen to separate from Jedd?

The answer was no!

Cathleen was reluctant to take back her words, especially since her ex-boyfriend seemed to have no intention of returning to her, so why would she make such a big effort just because she was pregnant with Jedd's child?

Oh, come on Cathleen wasn't a weak girl who couldn't stand on her own feet, it was the exact opposite!

Cathleen is too independent for that!

Having a child in her womb was more than enough to complete her.

"Cath, don't you want to rethink your decision?" asked Fred upon learning of the girl's unexpected information, where Cathleen informed him that she would be leaving as planned the day after tomorrow.

"My mind is made up Fred. You can take a vacation to visit me there with Anastasia."

A harsh sigh rang in Cathleen's ears.

"You're stubborn Cath."

Cathleen shrugged her shoulders softly. She was used to Fred saying that to her. After all, she couldn't deny him for saying something like that.

"If you have any problems or urgent matters while you're there, you can contact me at any time."

Cathleen nodded her head in agreement to her best friend's words which she knew were very worrying for her, especially now that she was pregnant and had to part with the best friend who had never seemed to be separated.

"Ah, when are you going to propose to Anastasia? If you guys eventually choose to get married, you should give me a special invitation."

"Of course Cath, you'll probably be my first invitee."

A soft chuckle escaped Cathleen's lips.

Sometimes Cathleen felt it was good for time to stop when she was happy. But when she was in trouble she wanted time to just go by without her needing to be reminded of her troubles.

It's just that such things don't really happen in the real world, like a comic or a novel that can be composed by the author itself.

'Baby you take it easy Mommy will take good care of you, even if it's just the two of us.' Cathleen monologued in her mind while rubbing her flat stomach.

***

Breathing could be heard quite loudly as the young man was busy looking up at the sky that he could see from the balcony of the hotel he was staying in.

This was the first time he used his time to give himself freedom.

If usually the young man was reluctant to take his leave and chose to work and work, then not this time.

He had realized that he needed time to mend his fragile heart. He thought he would manage to easily forget his lover. But in reality, he remembered every single memory.

Jedd didn't know that his heart was filled with Cathleen alone, with no one else to fill the space in his heart.

"I should have realized it sooner," said Jedd again regretting his treatment of Cathleen last time.

Where exactly was Jedd? Was he not in the same country as Cathleen this time?

The answer was of course no!

It had been almost a week since the young man had been in the country of his previous education.

The flat that he had bought was in fact back in his possession after years of vacancy.

Honestly, his little heart kept telling him to get back in touch with his ex-girlfriend so he could explain what he was feeling this time. Unfortunately, Jedd's fear was greater than his courage, and for that reason in the end Cathleen, and Jedd seemed to not want to improve their relationship.

Both of them seemed to think that the decision they made was an absolute decision that could not be disturbed.

"Have you been happy since you parted ways with me Cath?" Jedd whispered painfully.

Amidst the quietness as he was once again lost in the memories of a past he couldn't forget, the bell rang loudly on the door of his flat.

Jedd lazily stepped towards the door of his flat.

"Hello bro!"

"You? Why did you know I was at the flat?"

"Tsk, you should have told me that you were here. So are you in the process of being alone this time?"

Jedd twisted his eyes lazily. He was too lazy to hear a sentence that was meant to insinuate itself.

"I wouldn't have time to answer all your questions if you knew I was here. It's bad luck that you're coming to me now," Jedd snapped back at his best friend who had lived in the country he was visiting for a long time.

Laughter was heard quite loudly at Jedd's reply.

"If you're busy looking for answers to my questions. Then I'm sure you can gradually try to let go of that nagging thing in your heart."

For a moment Jedd was silent. He did not expect that his best friend, none other than Dru, would say such a thing.

"You never change Dru. I wonder, why are you always so confident about things that you might think are wrong?"

"If I don't believe in myself, then who else will believe in you if you don't have confidence in yourself."

Again, it was a striking sentence that Jedd got from Dru.

"Okay, I give up. You better come in Dru. I always run out of things to say when I argue with you."

A mischievous smile spread across Dru's face.

'You haven't changed either Jedd.'
