"Go home, to Austria, mommy will book a return ticket for you. Mommy doesn't want you to feel alone there, go home, let mommy take care of you". The voice on the phone sounded very anxious, but the daughter insisted on staying in London until the day of delivery.
"I'm sorry mom, I can't if I have to go back to Austria. I will stay here until I give birth".
Her mother sounded resigned to her daughter's decision.
"Okay son, if that's what you want. Take good care of yourself, don't forget to eat and drink milk so that your fetus is healthy. Momy will always be waiting for you, the door of the house is always wide open for your arrival son".
"Yes mom, thank you. I will go home when the time is right. Take good care of yourself momy, and greetings to charlie. I love you mom".
"Yes son, momy will convey your greetings to Charlie, love you too baby". The phone line was cut off and Brianna
seemed to be in tears.
I'm sorry mommy, actually I want to go home. But I have to stay here until John will admit this kid. He muttered in his heart.
Suddenly Safeea's loud voice was heard that made Brianna startled.
"Breakfast for pregnant women is ready". While putting down a tray of porridge and a glass of milk.
"Good grief Safeea, you just surprised me." While hitting his best friend's ass.
"I'm sorry Brianna, what are you doing again? Are you crying?". Safeea asked while stroking Brianna's hair.
"It's okay Fee, I just called my mom." Brianna then recounted her conversation on the phone with her mother to Safeea.
Brianna misses her mother but circumstances forced her to stay here until John wanted to admit his child. Safeea immediately hugged her best friend and tried to calm her down, then she took the bowl of porridge she had made for Brianna.
"Everything will be beautiful in its time honey, now the most important thing is that you eat first. After that I will take you back to John's apartment, I will try to discuss this matter with John". Safeea said.
"Thanks, Safeea". Brianna said while kissing her best friend's left cheek.

Justine drove her car at high speed to Safeea's apartment to pick them up and take Brianna to John's apartment. And unfortunately, just a few meters away from Safeea's apartment, Justine was stuck in traffic because of a car accident.
Justine finally parked her car in front of a cafe and decided to walk to Safeea's apartment which was only a few blocks away, when she was focused on walking, Justine suddenly stopped when she saw a mini dress for pregnant women on display in one of the shop windows.
Without thinking, Justine went straight into the shop and bought the pair of mini dresses for Brianna. What Brianna has in mind is that she will look very beautiful when wearing this dress when her stomach will start to bulge.
Justine immediately rushed to Safeea's apartment and when she arrived at the door she immediately pressed the bell on the left of the door.
Ting.. tong.. tong.. tong...
"Ahh, who is pressing the bell, can't wait to keep doing that," Brianna grumbled slightly, then hurried down the corridor beside the living room to open the door.
While Safeea just smiled at Brianna's behavior.
"Justine". Brianna was surprised to see the man who was now in front of her because they had not seen each other for a long time.
"Hi Brianna, yes it's me Justine, the man you rejected the love of". Justine teases Brianna.
Brianna laughed. "What are you doing". Brianna immediately hugged Justine tightly and how surprised Justine was by this, for her it was a surprise when she set foot again in London.
Justine swiftly returned Brianna's hug and wrapped her arms around Brianna's waist, they hugged for a long time and suddenly Safeea appeared from inside the house.
"I think it's been almost an hour in his arms, do you miss him too deep?". Safeea laughed at the two friends.
"Gosh, sorry Justin sorry". Brianna said as she let go of her hand.
"Ah, Feel just bothering people. I miss Brianna, you know we haven't seen each other for a long time". Justine protested while kissing Safeea's right and left cheeks.
Safeea laughed. "I'm sorry, okay let's go in first".
The three of them immediately went inside and gathered at a white dining table on which there was already a plate full of toast, sausage, omelet, and three glasses of milk that Brianna and Safeea had prepared.
"So the special guest you told me about was Justine, Fee?" Brianna started the conversation.
"Yeah, how about that? Surprise right, if I told you from the start it wouldn't be fun." Safeea laughed.
"Ohh.. so you guys have been impatient waiting for my arrival?". Justin mumbled. "Oh yes Bria, I have something for you, I hope you like it." He took the black paper bag beside the dining table leg and gave it to Brianna.
Brianna was curious about the contents of the paper bag and immediately opened it. How surprised Brianna was when she found out that the contents of the paper bag were a pair of mini dresses for pregnant women.
"Justine.. bb.. how do you know?". Brianna looked at Justine questioningly, then she looked at Safeea."
"Umm.. okay Bri, I'm the one who told Justine about this. Last night Justine called me to ask about your pregnancy because last night Justine met John at the club". Brianna was taken aback by Safeea's explanation.
"What Justine? You met John at the nightclub?". Brianna looked at Justine seriously.
"Yes, last night I called him because I meant to go to your apartment, but when John said he was at the club, well I immediately met him there and I thought John was with you".
Brianna immediately told this to Justine and for the umpteenth time, the tears fell down her cheeks again. Justine couldn't bear to see the woman she loved crying like that, Justine swiftly got up from her seat and approached Brianna to wipe her tears.
"Come on Brianna, don't be sad anymore. You're not alone, here you have me and Safeea." Justine tried to calm Brianna down.
Brianna was able to feel calmer after hearing Justine's words, the three of them again enjoyed being together at the dinner table. While talking about their past in college.
Brianna is still curious about where Justine has gone for the past year, instead of being haunted by her curiosity Brianna immediately asked Justine this.
"So far, where have you been hiding, Just?".
Hearing such questions Justine and Safeea laughed, they imagined Justine as a fugitive being targeted by the police.
"I went to Austria Bri, there's a business I'm starting there with my sister".
"What kind of business?". Safeea chimed in.
"Restaurant Fee, this is the second branch in Austria after Germany and on my return to London to try my luck in the same, I would like to have
own restaurant."
Brianna was also happy to hear the story of Justine, who is now successful and can live her life independently. Brianna also prayed in her heart for her best friend that Justine would find a woman who could be her life partner. After breakfast, they got ready to go to take Brianna to John's apartment. While waiting for the two of them to get ready Justine went out first to get her car which she had left a few meters from Safeea's apartment.
The black Chevrolet was now in front of the lobby of Safeea's apartment, then the two beautiful girls came and immediately got into the car. Brianna was so shocked at the current state of Justine's life that she threw herself up.
Now that you have succeeded Justine, you have turned your old bicycle into a very luxurious horse-drawn carriage. I'm sorry that I always looked down on you, the luxury that John had long ago was nothing compared to what you have now. You fought hard to change your life."
Seeing Brianna who had been daydreaming, Justine tried to break her daydream.
"Hello, Bria.. are you okay". Justine said.
"Ahh sorry.. yes I am okay". Brianna mumbled while grinning at a horse.
"Thank God.. Never mind Bria doesn't think too much about your problem, the most important thing right now is your condition and the baby in your womb". Justine held Brianna's hand but Brianna quickly let go.
"Ahh.. sorry Bria". Justine looked embarrassed and scratched her head which didn't itch at all.
Seeing the awkwardness between Brianna and Justine, Safeea quickly switched to another conversation.
"You finished shopping, right? You have a lot of groceries in the trunk, there are vegetables too, can you cook?". Safeea said as she checked the contents of Justine's paper bag.
"Gosh Feea, you're making fun of me that much." Justine said with a laugh.
Brianna." Justine said.
"What?" Brianna turned to Justine.
"Yes, I bought all the groceries for your needs, Bria, there are fruits, vegetables, bread, jam and pregnant milk too. Don't forget to drink the milk later." Justine turned to Brianna and smiled.
Brianna smiled back at Justine and thanked her.
"Gosh Justine, you're still thinking about me. I'm sorry for ignoring your feelings for a long time. I'm sorry Justine". Brianna mumbled to herself and then she took a deep breath, then opened the car window to take a breath of fresh air and let the wind hit her face.
