Sarah pov's"Are you going to work?" I tried to get out of bed by pushing my body slowly to move, helped by Ethan's hand trying to sit me up. I noticed his clothes were already neat, and he nodded at me. "Yeah, I just finished getting ready and am about to leave." He approached me and kissed my forehead, lowering his head and looking down. His hand moved to gently rub my stomach. "Morning, little Canary, you're doing well there, right? How did you sleep last night?"I smiled a little while listening to his intense chat with canary. It seemed like both of them had a lot to talk about while this chat was still going one way. I looked up at him and caressed his face softly. "He's fine. There's no problem with his sleep, and he has no complaints. But he wishes he could rest longer." I told him my feelings, which I sometimes couldn't distinguish from hers.This pregnancy was making me less of myself and less of my desires; maybe the doctor was right. Many things would change, including th
Ethan's pov"Sarah? Where are you?" I walked into the house and found no one else around.The house was deserted, with no servants milling around as they usually do with work. As I continued to walk, I stared strangely and questioned where were they all? What happened? Could it be something...?I quickly shook my head, denying the bad thoughts I was thinking. I knew I had to be vigilant, but I didn't want that kind of thing to settle into my subconscious and happen. As much as possible, I had to push my fears away and stay positive no matter what.But this was making me uneasy. "Where did they all go?" I took out the phone from my other hand while the other hand lowered the peaches Sarah had asked me to buy onto the dining table.I repeatedly tried to call her, but there was no answer from the other end; I ran straight to her room, and as soon as I opened the door, I became even more panicked. My chest was pounding, my fear was getting worse, and seeing her not in the usual place I go
Ethan’s POV"Why do you think you don't deserve it?" I often found Sarah to have such low confidence.Seeing her wonder about what she deserved and didn't deserve bothered me. When people out there unknowingly want something more to be able to have, she feels unworthy.If someone like her feels unworthy of receiving goodness and happiness in her life, then I can say that no one is more deserving of it.I held her hand tightly while looking up at the afternoon sky. "Believe me, you are more than worthy Sarah. You deserve all the happiness you can get. For what you do, you deserve to be happy and have no reason to question it."Everyone deserves happiness, and no human being should ever feel unworthy of the joy that comes their way because when they think and feel that way, they are genuine people who deserve happiness."What's wrong?" I looked to the side and found her pushing away, her head resting on my shoulder.There was something strange about the look on her face, she didn't look
Ethan’s POvLately it will become increasingly restless with Sarah's condition, she makes me worry about her condition. I continued to be uneasy, even though some people who knew about Sarah's pregnancy said it was fine and I didn't need to worry too much.But I can't deny that Sarah's situation significantly affects me.Yes, only some people knew about Sarah's pregnancy. I did it on purpose because I was worried about her situation. I was afraid that if the news spread further and reached others, it would bring Sarah lousy luck.The only people who knew about her pregnancy were Luke, Santika, Donna, and Lira. Lira has been a great help to me during Sarah's pregnancy. Lately, she has often visited to take care of herself.I was pretty happy because every time she came, Sarah became happier. Lira, who came with various things, always brought the old knowledge with her. Yes, she's the only one with a mother among us, even though her mother lives far away. She's constantly updated about
Ethan’s POv"Don't be sad because of me," Sarah said again that, in between her meals, her thoughts didn't stop there.I looked at her. She was trying not to care as she said it, but I could tell she was holding back the sadness in her eyes; she wasn't in a good place herself, asking me not to worry too much about her situation.She took over her spoon and ate herself, lowering her gaze to avoid me. "You've done enough for me. Why do you feel guilty?"I really should have just clenched my mouth shut.Which part of me had forgotten to deal with. The doctor often emphasized her emotional state, which could be more sensitive, and Lira even confirmed it to me.She who repeatedly met with me often discussed it in detail even if only in passing, she asked me not to forget about it and be careful because her sensitivity could trigger deep sadness and have a harmful impact on her pregnancy.At one point, Lira told me she couldn't understand why Sarah was crying because they were looking at an
Sarah pov"Are you sure you want to come with me? Don't want to stay home? I can get someone to drive you home if you want." Ethan turned to me after he stopped his car in the parking lot in front of the building.I looked at those eyes intently, slightly bending my eyebrows. "No, we already discussed it. Let me come inside."He sighed deeply. I began to think that maybe he didn't want me to pay attention to him during work or was bothered by my presence. Wasn't he happy with me being around?Ah, am I the only one who thinks that?"Alright, but don't work. Just sit in my room and don't do anything." He warned sternly.I nodded my head immediately and excitedly. "Alright." I really couldn't work anyway.Considering that I had arrogantly said I would keep working because I was bored and couldn't do anything by staying home, what nonsense!The first semester of pregnancy was tough. I didn't have the energy to move my fingers, let alone work. I couldn't even sit for hours.My stomach was
Sarah pov"What would you like to order, Sarah?" Ethan turned to me after carefully seating me in one of the chairs with a view of the window, which looked so beautiful from a height.I looked at the row of counters that showed the food menu neatly arranged in special containers. I looked at it for a long time until I finally decided what I wanted to eat with heavy consideration. "I'll have set menu A, complete with berry juice." She didn't allow me to take my own order there.The office cafeteria provides self-service for food collection. Those who eat there will only be served to get their food rations according to the measure. The rest will be done by the efforts of those who visit alone.Ethan nodded while lightly rubbing my cheek. "Alright, I'll be right back, so wait here for a while." He departed from there immediately.Like his request, I waited quietly in my place, observing him from afar with a smile. Who cares about the glances of the people around me when I have Ethan at t
Sarah pov"Can you give me the documents I requested for this month?" I spoke to the person in charge of the documents I would ask to check today.The person looked deftly at my desk. "I'll give it to you, ma'am." He replied with a polite word.Yes, entering the second trimester, I began to involve myself with work more actively. It was all because my condition was getting better. It's not completely good; it's just that I've adapted more to my pregnancy, and my nausea tendency has also decreased more.If I stayed at home without doing anything to keep me busy, I would become lackluster and bored. Finding something to do and being busy was still not fun when it was just me, so I asked Ethan's permission or forced him to let me go back to work. After a long conversation and a lot of debate, he finally allowed me to go back to work, but with many conditions that I had to follow, among which I had to obey his orders.I agreed and here I am now, back at work with the others. But something
