Fear

I'm drinking my coffee while thinking a lot of things, specially that thing I jus did last night. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes when I remembered that moment.

I checked my wrist watch, the time of my flight has arrived, it’s time to go, thank you for some out of this world but not so extremely interesting experience Paris... it’ll never happen again. I walked outside to leave. I found this coffee shop a few steps away from the airport, I just stand by here to take a cup of coffee.

By the way, I’m Aemee Harlene Santiago. 24, I’m a flight attendant.

Manila, Philippines

February 2015

“Are you out of your mind?!” I can feel anger from her voice, “how pathetic Aemee! You did that thing? You’re such a careless person.” 

She was really cheesed off and that made me trembled so much. I can see lines on her forehead, and I can feel her sharp look on me. Oh god! 

I’m just sitting there waiting for her sermons after she heard what I’ve said. 

“I’m not,” I just answered, still keeping my voice normal as as possible. I’m so nervous and I can't help it.

She rolled her eyes and took a sip from her coffee.

She looked at me again, straight to my eyes as if she’s examining my whole system.

“You went there to get some space, to breathe, and now you’re telling me you had a one-night stand with someone you didn’t know?! God Aemee, you're making me sick!” she groaned, she’s really mad huuh.

I just look at my hands and play with it, I just wait for her to say or ask everything she wanted to burst.

“Did you two used protection?” She seriously asked.

I remembered it too well, I felt him released inside me..

I didn’t know how to answer her, we didn’t! This will just make her more angry. 

She looked at me intently, and didn’t wait for me to answer..

“Look at you now, you’re delayed! How can I defend you to tita Olivia now? What if you’re pregnant? What will you do?”

Her voice is filled with concern, I know she’s just worried.

I told her that I’m not, while laughing to ease the nervousness I’m feeling.

I know that there’s a big possibility of me being pregnant, he released it inside me.

“Let’s buy PT,” 

She said and grabbed me outside. We went to the nearest pharmacy to buy PT. I expected it already, but I’m nervous.

Nervousness and fear aroused inside of me when I entered one of the cubicles of the public restroom on the mall to use the PT, which me and Klare bought.

I just did what the instructions said.

My vision becomes blurry because of tears falling from my eyes, my hands are trembling while holding the pregnancy test, I’m running out of words because of the result.

I heard a gentle knock coming from the outside, maybe it’s Klare just checking me out.

“Aemee, what now? Can I see the result?” she said while still knocking.

I had enough courage to stand up and go outside. As soon as Klare saw me with tears in my eyes, she hugged me.

“K-Klare it’s positive,” I whispered, enough for me and Klare to hear.

“Sshh, we’ll talk later, calm down first,” she said while rubbing my back gently.

How would I tell mom and dad that I’m pregnant? They’re expecting more from me, and they want more for me, even though I’m in the right age they’re still wanting me to get married first before I get pregnant.

I’m their younger daughter, I should at least let Simon – my elder brother, have a girlfriend first before I get married or before I give them a grandchild. But, it’s done, I’m now pregnant, the baby is here now, I’m now bearing their first grandchild, I should face the consequences resulting from my actions. They would be so disappointed with me.

“Tell them that you’re pregnant,” Klare seriously said.

She sighed heavily for countless times, silence filled the whole care before she said that.

We’re now at the parking lot, inside my car.

“I’ll tell them, I can’t raise this child on my own, I need some support from them,” I said.

“How about him, what’s your plan? Are you going to tell him that you’re pregnant?” she asked me.

I bite my lower lip, I know she’ll be angry if I tell her what’s my plan.

“I’ll raise this child without him, I don’t have any plan to introduce it to him,” I said and looked at her.

She just released a heavy sigh again, maybe to surrender, because she knew me well, I have already decided the moment I learned that I’m delayed, no one can make my mind change.

“Okay, if it’s your decision, then I’ll respect that,” she said with a serious tone.

------------

I hugged myself when I felt the cold breeze touch my bare skin, I’m at the balcony facing the garden that my mom’s personally designed. I think I let go of countless heavy sighs since I sitted here. I’m still thinking about how I can say it to my mom and dad.

I remembered dad saying that I should grow up and should act as my age. He forced me to broke up with Josiah when I first introduced him to them, but because of me being a hard-headed person, I didn’t listen to them. I continued my relationship with Josiah until I saw him with Anica. 

I told them everything, but instead of being angry, dad comforted me and that day I promised that never again I let myself settle for less, that I’ll change myself for a better version, but here I am again, making such things that I know dad and mom will be disappointed.

“Hun, did you already eat? Your dad is looking for you,” I looked at her and smiled, it’s mom.

I didn’t know that I didn’t lock the door. She sitted to the chair beside me and looked at the view I’m looking at.

I can see how sophisticated she is the way she sit, she looks intimidating but when you get to know her more , she’s the sweetest person you’ll ever know. I never wonder if lots of people envy and adore her.

“What’s for dinner mom?” I asked.

“Go downstairs, hun,” she just answered, she stood up and walked towards my room to leave.

She knew me, once I’ve learned what they cooked and I don’t like it, I will not join them to eat.

I just sighed and stood up. I felt nervousness covering my whole system again, I should tell them tonight that I’m pregnant.

I went downstairs and their laughter welcomed me, Simon, my elder brother, is home already. While I was walking towards the dining table I saw dad smiling at me.

When I sitted, mom served me rice and some chop of adobo she surely cooked.

“You look pale, Aemee,” Simon seriously said. I felt like my spirit would leave my body because of what he said.

He looked at me intently, I just gave him a half smile as an answer.

Once I made sure that we’re all done eating, I started to talk.

“M-Mom, D-Dad, I have to tell you something,” 

My voice was trembling because I was so nervous, so much tension is inside me at this very moment. They’re just looking at me intently.

“What’s that, hun?” mom gently said.

I looked at her and she just gave me smile.

“I-I'm pregnant,” I said.

I looked down and waited for them to talk.

I heard mom gasping after I told them those.

As I looked at her I saw her hands trembling, maybe because of the anger she’s feeling.

“Where’s the father, Aemee.” Dad asked with a voice full of authority.

I did my best to stop my tears from falling. I’m breathing heavily because of the tensions inside me.

“H-He’s not here dad, we broke up, he has a family, he’s a married man” I lied.

I heard dad sighed heavily and I heard him cursing.

“What the hell, Aemee?!” Simon shouted.

I can feel frustration from his voice, the dimmed dining area became more dimmed and blurry when tears from my eyes started to fall.

“I’m so sorry, mom, dad, Si.” I said while still looking at the plate in front of me.

I can feel the different kinds of atmosphere inside the house, it’s so suffocating, and it makes me feel like passing out anytime.

I know, I made everything more complicated when I said that the father of this child is married.

I gasped when dad stood up and walked away. Few steps before he reached the stairs, he stopped there and looked at me.

“Your mom will accompany you tomorrow for a check up.” He said and left us there.

I sobbed when I heard what he said, I looked back to mom and Simon.

Simon just sighed and walk towards me, he tapped my head gently and walked away.

“Sleep early, we will go to OB Gyne tomorrow morning.” Mom said and left me there.

She’s angry.

I wiped my tears and sighed. I expected it, I even expected that dad or mom would demand me to abort this child, but they did it again, they think of me again, even though I’ve caused them so much trouble and disappointments.

My chest is aching out of guilt, I’m so sorry, mom, dad and Si.

A man from her past
The gentle sunbeam from the window touches my bare skin and the gossamer black curtain flutters in the morning breeze, it’s early in the morning and yet Klare is already here, she lie down to my bed and looked at the ceiling while I’m sitting here at the sofa that mom bought for me months ago, it placed near the window. Her long and thick blonde hair covers almost the whole pillow where her head is laying. “How was it? How’s your first check up?” she asked. Mom’s still mad at me, she’s not talking to me while we were in the car heading to the OB Gyne, she just talked when she asked some questions about my pregnancy. I feel so guilty. “I’m now 3 weeks pregnant, I experienced my first ever morning sickness when I woke up this morning,” I said. I’m craving for something sour, so I asked Simon to buy me some pineapple.

Aemee's Craving always satisfied
Weeks after mom and dad learned that I am pregnant they asked me to resign from my job, they just want me to stay at home while I’m still pregnant, because we discovered that I have a sensitive pregnancy.  They even hired a personal nurse for me! Omg! I just laughed when they informed me about them looking for a private nurse for me. I told them that when I gave birth I would go back to my work, I want to personally provide all the needs of my child, they told me that I should still stay at home, that they can provide everything for us, but I insisted, they did so many things for me and my child. “Do you want something to eat or are you craving for something?” I looked at Axel while pushing the cart. “No, I’m good Axel, thank you,” I said while smiling. He’s always like that, he always makes sure that I get to ea

It's been a long time
Minutes after Axel arrived, he had three boxes of pizza, burger and fries with him. He does know that I love eating those, don't he? “How are you?” he sat beside me and rubbed my tummy gently. Manang Flor is busy arranging Axel brought. “We’re good, Axel, thank you, how’s your mom?”I said out of concern. He told me that his mom rushed to the hospital due to severe pain she felt on her abdomen. She has been diagnosed with gallbladder inflammation, and she needs to undergo surgery as soon as possible before it may get worse.  “She’s okay, it just that we need to monitor her every other minutes, we hired a private nurse to look after her specially when we are not around,” His dad decided to bring tita Emily here to do her treatment here in the Philippines. “I see, how ‘bo

What Clifford wants, Clifford gets
"Clifford Dien Samonte, Chief executive officer." I whispered while I was holding wooden desk name plates. I put it back at the table and roam around the black and white painted room which serves as my office, the CEO office. I can see from here the buildings and structures. Natural light and these stunning large windows bring this office to life. Aemee keeps her distance from me, she's really good at hiding. I massaged my forehead and thought of ways on how I could talk to her. I just learned that she’s one of our flight Attendants, and I thought that it’ll be a good start for me getting close to her but I’m wrong! She’s still hiding from me as if it can help her that way, tss. Today is the start of her two days off, of course I know! I asked my secretary to give me the schedule of our flight attendants for me to be able to know her schedule, damn, this is so not me. That wom

Axel finally meet Clifford, Aemee's boss
It's nearly 5 in the afternoon and I'm about to leave because I don't have anything here to do, and I'm a mom of a 2-year-old baby girl and I needed to feed her, lol. Supposedly this day is just for her but since that man is such a baby, my time for her is compromised.   I just called Axel to fetch me, he never allowed me to drive on my own, since I don't want to create commotions or arguments, I just obeyed him.   I was just standing here waiting for Axel, when I felt someone was standing beside me. I gave it a glance to find out that it was Clifford again, giving me a wide smile, I just gave him a puzzled look, what is he doing here again?   "Mind if I drive you home?"   I looked at him and acted like I didn't hear anything. I heard him laugh a bit, I can still feel his glance.   I told him that I'm waiting for someone, he still insists on driving me home, I even told him to le

She's somehow looks familiar
It's 8:30 in the evening, we're done eating dinner but we're still here at the dining area talking about how Simon and Samantha met. I'm listening to Simon intently while he's talking about their first meeting when I noticed something. Samantha's deep set eye is kinda familiar, she looks like someone that I can't remember. "At first, Simon and I met in a usual setting. I'm at the bar celebrating one of my work mate's birthdays, it's an all girls night out, some strangers approached our table, since we are all girls we don't have someone that can defend us that time...."Simon is looking at her intently while she's saying those, she talks calmly, she stands out even though she's just talking.As she continuously tells their story, Simon is just looking at her angelic face, he's so in love, isn't he? lol.-----------I massaged my temple to ease this tension that cannot leave me since I talked to them. I knew that she had a boyfriend but I never prepared myself to see his face.Her ha

Two-day trip
My peaceful sleep got distracted by a loud ring coming from somewhere I didn't know, I stood up and checked the time at the wall clock, it's nearly 1 am. Where did that sound come from, I checked Darlene that is peacefully sleeping. I went straight to the veranda. I guessed it came from here, but how come? Did someone accidentally left their phone here?I normally leave this sliding door open, I liked the feel of the breeze coming from the outside that's why. I looked around to check if there's a phone that was left here, but I didn't see anything, maybe it's from our neighbors, I went back to our bed because Darlene woke up and immediately stopped her from crying.--------I woke up early today. Since I had a flight, I went straight to the bathroom to take a bath. It's 5 in the morning, too early but I need to wake up this soon cause I had planned to cook some pancakes for Darlene. It's her favorite, by the way.I'm done taking a bath and preparing things that I'll bring at work. I

another man from her past
Early in the morning Axel arrived at the hospital with Klare. While Simon is still not around, he's busy doing some stuff.I was preparing for our breakfast that manang Flor brought here awhile ago, Axel is taking care of Darlene, while Klare is helping me out on preparing our food. Mom and dad went home, since these two have arrived to help me here so I told them to go home instead and take a rest."What's their diagnosis?"Axel asked while fixing the cotton blanket that covered Darlene's half body, she's still sleeping."It's nothing serious said by the doctor, we just decided to stay here for a night because I want Darlene's to be monitored by her doctor personally."I assured him. He looks so worried. It's still raining outside, this bad weather made me so sleepy. I checked my wrist watch and it's 9 in the morning already so I invited them to eat since in just an hour from now we'll be heading home, I'll just need to pay the hospital bills."I heard Josiah is already engaged."
