[61] ||Hardie Morrison||Since I woke up today, all I was able to do was check the time and the screen of my phone contemplating on if to dial her digit or not. I'm silently dying to give her a call and scared at the same time.What is this feeling? I'm never afraid of any one but rather its always the other way round. Now, why this feeling? If this is how love feels, then people must be crazy for falling deeply in love.But on other hand, I'm also falling in love and that also mean I'm crazy. Is it not?I breath in slowly, after hours of contemplating, I finally got the courage to give her a call. Now, I hope she answer the call."Hey there...""Sorry, who is this...?" Her soft voice came up from the other end."What? Don't tell me you don't recognized my voice, Arling." I said as I laugh nervously, trying to sound friend."Wait, is that Hardie? How did you get my..."I quickly cut her short. "H-huh, forget about that. How are you faring?""Uhm, I'm good. Why did you call?"
[62] ||Arlington Arling||"Well, let's see how long the trust would last..." He said with a lopsided smirk. But before I could day jack, the car was already moving in a bullet speed...What do he mean by that statement of his? I wanted to asked him about it but kept my mouth shut, let's see where this leads to. Right?Not up to five minutes, I started feeling really dizzy having this demanding urge to throw up. I always thought I'm way past this stage, or could it be because of his de*th speed race?I tried bearing it but I just couldn't. "Stop this damn car!" I yelled, hitting the car's dashboard aggressively. I'm starting to get pissed off already with out any reason, what's that for?"Why? Any thing the problem?" He asked concerned laced in his voice but still keeping his gaze on the car's wheel."Stop this car this very minutes, else I'm gon' jump right through the door's window if you don't." I yelled, threat laced in my voice."What...?" He stuttered as he quickly hold o
[63] ||Hardie Morrison||Time seems to be running faster these days as it slowly rolled from hours into days, days into weeks and weeks into months.Arlington and I have been getting along real well and every things seems to be going on pretty okay between, little did I know today is going to hold the worst.I was having mixed feelings when I learned her babies were mine also. I was excited and really nervous to be a father soon and I was feeling guilty with how she got pregnant.***"I need to go out with Min Hung, I promised to spend the week end with her." Arlington said. "I'm sorry I did not inform you before now but I promise I'm going to make it up to you when I'm back, okay?""What if I actually plan some thing I'll be using as a surprise for you, is this how you are going to ruin it?" I wasn't angry but I need to sound like I was."That was why I apologize in the first place. I already said I'm sorry, stop acting like an angry bird." She said with her brows creased."I
[64] ||Hardie Morrison||"Hardie..." Her voice was croaked, holding pain in it.What have I got myself into? I pushed Louisa away as she staggered back, trying to gain her balance.She picked up her jacket, put in on and turn to face me. "See you soon, Hardie." Louisa uttered and blew kisses before walking out.I rushed towards Arlington as I quickly grab her hand sensing she is going to leave in anger. She struggled to break my grip from her hand but I tightened my grip, leaned towards her face and meet her lips with hers.I tried gaining entrance into her mouth with my tongue hoping to ease her anger but she pushed me away."Stay away from me and my babies too, Hardie." She said wearing a cold glare that sent chill down my spine. No one needs to tell me cause I know she is madly angry."What? You know I can't stay sane with out you. And about what you say a while ago, its not what you think?" I tried defending myself even when I know I was wrong."What did you expect me to
[65] ||Hardie Morrison||Arling was able to give birth to the babies on her own with out under going any section but she went into coma since then, not responding to treatment and its been three long days of torture.Every thing happened so fast and also in a blurry vision, I just couldn't pin point any thing of it. My brain finds it difficult to register any of it and keeping my sanity was the hardest.The babies were said to be fine with close watch and I get to see them with out touching or feeling them since they are not due yet. I just have to wait another two long months before I can get to touch and feel them.They are just a tiny little creation developing under technology and the doctor's and nurses’ close watch. Since they are doing well, all that matters to me now is Arlington.Fate be playing same trick game on me again. Seeing her laying unconsciously with oxygen as her aid of breathing breaks not only my heart but my whole body system over and over again.I ca
[66] ||Hardie Morrison||In the next few minutes, she came back with the doctor, who check her heart stability."Her heart is breathing differently now and I assure you she will be..." The doctor was still saying when Arlington's eyes slowly open.Is this for real or I'm hallucinating? Don't blame me because this feels too good to be true. Her pupils aren't visible at first since her eyes are rolled into their socket.The doctor disconnected the machine from her nostrils when she was sure every this was perfectly fine with Arlington."Hardie...?" That was her first word and I couldn't tell how happy and excited I felt at the moment.She slowly sit up as I did not hesitate to help her keep her balance. Her face was still pale and almost near white but it was full of life."I can't believe my eyes right now, I feel like they are playing dirty tricks on me." I muttered as I touched I face to feel them."They aren't Hardie. I'm okay now." Her voice was croaked but it was audible
[67] ||Flash Back||•••Twenty Years Ago•••The little boy was six was barely awake as he heard the shouting and arguing of two older humans. He need not to be told who it is as he wiped his eyes and jumped down from the bed, running as fast as his little legs could carry him to the sitting room.There they were putting fingers against each others, his both parents."Daddy, what is the matter again?" His soft tender voice came up as he clasped his father's left legs to his small body.Mr Morrison ruffled his son's hair as he laid his gaze on him. "Its nothing son, this woman here wants to rub me off my peace."Yes, the woman Mr Morrison was referring to was no other than the boy's mother who he barely see around."Stop fighting with her, daddy. It isn't proper to do so." His green eyes were littered with hot tears. If there is one thing he hates, its to see his father getting into an argument with any one."Don't worry, son. Every thing is fine, I'll handle the situation perfect
