Jack searched around the bus stop with his eye looking for Bella. He found no trace of her.
"Has she left already? It's just some minutes ago that she texted me". He asked himself.
He picked up a phone to call her but her line wasn't reachable.
"Darn it, where do I go from here?". He asked himself, getting more confused.
Jack rushed into his car and the dropping of the rain. He sat in for some minutes before he turned on the engine. He drove slowly on the road as he still checked for any sign of Bella.
He stepped on the brake of the car when he caught a glimpse of someone whose figure looked like that of Bella. He tried calling out to the person but it seems like the person was unable to hear him due to the sound of the rain. He stepped down from the car and approached the person.
"Hello, please excuse me". He said as he tapped the person on the shoulder.
"What are you doing here, it's raining can't you see". Bella asked in shock, at seeing Jack.
"I was worried about you and I can see you before you leave". He said with a lump in his throat.
"You would get cold, leave the rain". Bella motioned to him, as she tried pulling him into the shade where she stood.
"You don't have to get worried about me. When would you be coming back?". He asked.
"I can't tell now but, I would be back once my mum's health gets better". She hesitated and replied to him, her head bent down.
"So you won't be resuming your office for the meantime". He asked in a way of trying to find out if she was going to accept his offer.
*What is he pulling at, I told him I was not going to work as his secretary*. Bella said within her as she rolled her eyes.
"No. I won't be resuming either if I come back". She said without having a glance at his face.
Jack scratched his head as one who had forgotten what he was about to say.
"Never mind. It's okay if you don't want to, you have to take good care of your health". Jack said it's a beaming smile on his face.
The mention of the statement *take care of your health*, sent shivers down Bella's spine. That's still the last thing she had not yet let Jack know about. The fact that her pregnancy is complicated. She had been able to go through the first two months, but what might happen when it grows further.
She did not realize that Jack was still there with her. Tears flowed down her cheeks as she tried cleaning them with her palm but they still kept flowing.
"Why are you crying?What happened? Did I say anything wrong that made you cry?". Jack asked as he lifted up her face.
Bella shakes her head in a manner of saying no. She still found it hard to tell him about it. She was confused and did not know how he's going to feel when he found out about it.
"Nothing! How would you say that when you are in pain?". He asked her again.
"The bus will be here any minute from now, so I think you have to start going so you get well". Bella said as she looked away and wiped out her tears.
"Who cares about a good sleep when one he cares about is not happy". Jack said as he searched through her face.
"You don't have to be so passionate towards me when I am going to let you down one day". Bella said with a heavy heart.
"You just keep saying this without stating why. What exactly do I have to know that you can't tell me". Jack asked, feeling angry at what Bella keeps saying without telling him anything about it.
"How would you understand even if I tell. You would only feel that I had been making a heat of you all along and that's why I want you to stay away from me. Don't develop any feelings for me because I'm only going to end up hurting those feelings". She said hurriedly without giving Jack any chance to intrude her.
"Why do you feel that letting me know about it would make me sad. Just tell me about it and stop keeping me worried about it". Jack shouted at her.
"The more you keep shut, the more I get worried and make me lose trust in you". He said after and stared at her for a few seconds.
"That's what I want! Don't put your trust in me because I am surely going to break them one day, am surely going to hurt your feelings and I feel guilty about such. I don't deserve your trust or your feelings. Maybe someone like Bianca would appreciate them if you give all those to her". Bella shouted at him in pain. She knew the mention of Bianca's name would make him go mad, but she had no other option than to do it. Jack stared at her with fury in his eyes for some seconds without saying any word.
"Then tell me about it so I would know how to control my feelings and my trust rather than render it to cheap useless things". He said, as he tried to be calm. Bella knew that was a way of him warning her not to make mention of Bianca's name again in their decision, but that was not exactly what was bothering her at the time.
Bella swallowed so hard. How was she going to explain it to him, how would he feel about it? His character towards her had changed since he accepted her pregnancy. Those characters were surely going to fade away once he gets to find out about her losing the pregnancy after some couple of months.
"I know it might be hard to believe but, I am not sure I am going to make it through with the pregnancy". Bella said with a lump in her throat.
