Frieze enters Teresa room. Seeing the pregnant lady in front of her, she smiles with joy. Her mood lifts up instantly after seeing her bright face. She hugs her tight and Teresa hugs her back like she was longing for it. “Congratulations! I am so happy for you. I am sorry that I could not come earlier. Idri told me about you today.”
“You have been going through a lot already. Your married life is already stressful. I didn’t want to trouble you anyway.”
“So, if Idri would not have told me, I would have never known. How mean!”
“I am sorry. I will tell you everything from now on that relates to my pregnancy. Now cheer up.”
“Alright. Any help you need; I will just be a call away. How are you feeling?”
“Well, when I found out I was pregnant, I actually freaked out. I am not sure if am ready but this baby inside me already seems like my own.”
“It is inside you and so obviously it’s your own. You are so lame.”
“Oh God! Stop being logical. I meant I could already feel motherhood. The feelings are just so strong you know. I am nervous. I have 8 months to go and I feel all the bodily changes you know. I am gaining weight, I feel skin dryness and dizzy too at times. I am hungry and craving for yummy food like all the time. At the same time, I am having nausea.”
“Haha… Welcome to the world of pregnancy. You should cherish every moment and motherhood is just great. I will be the godmother.”
“Yes, a strong godmother.” She smiles at her. She continues, “He or she will be your child’s elder sibling too.”
The smile on Frieze’s face goes away. Teresa could see the sadness in her eyes. She cups her hands in hers and asks, “How is everything between you and Idri? I have heard from Simon that he is really trying hard to have you back.”
“I don’t know what am I supposed to do. He is so clingy that I am not even getting time to sit alone and think through. He just does not leave me alone both at office and at home. The only time I am alone is in the washroom I guess.”
“Don’t worry. He will start following you there too.”
“Teresa, stop! I am confused and super serious at the moment. All of you really talk shameless.”
“Birds of same feather always flock together.”
She summarizes her everything that has been happening including today’s intimate scene right outside their house before coming over to her house.
Teresa’s eyes are open wide, “Did he just enter your panty?”
“He did not, just the hands. I was wet by then. So awkward. The most embarrassing moment of my life. I am not sure how I could not control his intimacy.” She pouts sadly.
“Why on earth will you control love making in the first place? He is still your husband. He very much loves you as you love him. I could notice his love for you. When you left his house, he went insane. To top it all, the hospitalization. While you lay in the hospital bed unconscious, he was there in the hospital as the attendant. Do you know this?”
