Edinburgh
Best Friend

Blaire can't argue anymore. What Viktoriya said is true. Pregnancy is something that cannot be hidden from anyone. In time, the girl's stomach will grow and may not be covered again. He just needs to prepare mentally, to face all the possibilities that will happen.

One of them is from someone who has now become a close friend, namely Aaron Walsh. The handsome blue-eyed man came to visit, bringing Blaire fresh fruits.

"You must have heard what my current condition is like" Blaire said, before Aaron said anything to her.

"I'm very surprised, Blaire," said Aaron in response. He looks uncomfortable. However, the man is able to control himself well. "So, all this time ...." Aaron looked confused. He doesn't know what to say.

"Yes." Yeah." Blaire nodded slowly. "I ... he .. um that guy's name is Christian. She's the one who sold her house to your family" explains the beautiful girl who is pregnant.

Aaron looked surprised. He knitted a pair of his eyebrows, then restored the two-sided blonde hair that was quite thick. "You mean that bald guy with a pot belly? Gosh darn. I really can't believe you ...."

"What?" Blaire was in disbelief. He was about to protest loudly at what Aaron said.

"Yes, Blaire. The one who transacted with me and the mother back then was a thick-bodied middle-aged man with a plontos head. Is she your lover?" Aaron grimaces a little, imagining a young girl as beautiful as Blaire making out with the man he means.

"Of course not," Blaire argued immediately. "Christian is a very handsome, brown-skinned man with dark hair and beautiful gray eyes. He has an athletic, strapping body, sturdy and strong arms. Christian ...." Blaire fell silent, then lowered her head and looked at the seed-filled belly of the man.

"Why did he leave you?" ask Aaron. Doubtful, the man asked Blaire that. However, the great curiosity with the love story of the blonde girl so tickled his heart. "Then, why didn't Christian meet me and Mom in person? He instead asked a man named Gerard Aguila to claim to be the owner of the house he sold." Aaron seemed to think. "I hope that the building we occupy is not a matter of dispute" said the blue-eyed man again.

"I remember, the house was bought by the Harrington family before Christian took it. However, I don't know what the process of hand-shifting his possession is like. I think Ms. Clarkson must have known about it, because she's a senior citizen here," Blaire thought.

"Yes, I'll introduce myself to her sometime" Aaron responded.

"He was widowed much longer than my mother" Blaire replied half in a whisper.

"Then you ask him" Aaron said with a slightly loud crisp laugh, prompting Blaire to signal for the man to keep his voice down. "Sorry" said Aaron slowly, rubbing his head. The two young men remained silent for a while.

“Didn't you go to work today?” blaire asked breaking the silence.

“I plan to leave after visiting you.” Aaron got up from the couch. His tall body made Blaire have to look up higher in order to be able to pay close attention to that handsome face.

“Don't forget to spend those fruits. The vitamins are great for your baby-to-be,” Aaron said as he walked towards the wide-open front door. He intends to leave Blaire's house. However, somehow his steps seemed to feel so heavy.

Aaron then turned towards Blaire again. He looked at her with meaning. “Then, what's your next plan? Um, if she was born later ... will you take care of her yourself or ..” The handsome man looked confused at the word.

“Are you still sure that one day he will return?” ask Aaron again.

“Yes. He'll definitely be back, Aaron. I will always wait for him,” Blaire replied with confidence.

“Hm. Alright." Aaron nodded and fell silent. Unknowingly, his fingers tightly gripped the door handles of Blaire's house. “Aware of information for you, I have decided that I will continue to accompany you in order to wait for his presence. As much as possible I'll help and provide you with whatever you need, Blaire. Whatever it is. Never hesitate to ask me for help,” concluded the handsome man while smiling gently. After that, he walked out and closed the door tightly.

After hearing what Aaron said, Blaire could only be speechless and stunned. So many good people around him, even Viktorija who was really disappointed at the stupidity, still accepted his situation with open arms.

Blaire was fully aware that it was not only her wounded self, but also her mother. For a while, the tightness returned, so he decided to go back to the room and lie down until Viktoriya returned from the tavern.

That's what Blaire does every day. He struggled with light activity in the house. If he feels tired, he will go into the room and lie down until dark. However, when night falls, the girl will have trouble closing her eyes. Either because of the influence of hormones, or indeed Christian shadow causes it.

Like that night, Blaire flipped around in agitation. His body feels hot, but the weather is so cold, so that the window glass outside the room froze exposed to points of water that meet the cold that reaches nine degrees.

“Ah.” The girl was shriveled. He who was lying down now got up in a sitting position, then grabbed a glass of water on the nightstand.

Blaire took a slow sip until half was left. He intended to lie down again, when he heard a strange sound coming from outside. Blaire sharpened her hearing and found that the sound was coming from a window. He got out of bed and walked to the window. Blaire opened the curtain, along with a small pebble that was thrown and hit the glass. Finally, he understood where the strange sound was coming from.

The girl then raised the window upwards until it opened wide. She let the autumn cold wind in and hit her pretty face. Blaire closed her eyes for a while, in order to enjoy the piercing sensation of the air.

“Blaire!” Stifled calls from familiar sounds in the ear.

“Aaron? What are you doing these nights?” The girl turned her attention to the bottom, where Aaron was looking up. He was holding onto a small rock ready to be thrown towards the glass window.

“What are you doing? Why haven't you slept?” Aaron asked back.

“How can I sleep if you disturb me,” Blaire said.

“Betul also.” Aaron laughed and quickly shut his mouth. He didn't want to if until Viktorija heard his voice. “It just so happens that you haven't slept. I want to take you,” said the handsome man later.

“Where?” blaire asked as she scrunched her forehead while she crossed her arms.

“Down. Later you will also know,” replied Aaron with a big grin.
