"Marino!" Esme called out to him once more when she saw Marino simply walked away, a few steps away from her now.
Marino stopped in his track without turning to look at Esme. He wanted to know what did she hide under her sleeves ?now.
Deep in his heart, he could not help but admit that even today, he sometimes still missed her, the woman who used to be in life and made him think that he was the happiest man on earth.
But, what was this now?
"I am pregnant!" She said, out of the blue.
'She is pregnant?'
It was something so unexpected for him to hear from her own mouth. Marino even had to repeat the same sentence all over again inside his head, to make sure that he was not mistaken at all.
Such a piece of simple information from the woman he once loved and hated at the same time, made him froze in his spot.
It felt like he was struck by a lightning bolt in a broad daylight as he tried to digest the words.
