Suddenly Having a Baby
Heart expression

"Is Papa wrong, Belle, if you and the woman you call Mama come home late at night without first notifying?" William muttered to himself as he rubbed Belle's back. He smiled when he called himself Papa.

"Whose son are you?" William's index finger went down the forehead and down Belle's cheek.

He was not too surprised by Sarah's remark that this baby was not her child, because he had heard it from Sarah's own lips before. But Sarah's earlier remark was not very thought out by him, because he did not consider the presence of these two strangers in his life. Now Sarah's angry words, tickling her curiosity.

After making sure Belle was asleep, William went out of the room to look for Sarah. He felt guilty for calling the woman stupid. Trying to think positively, he suspects Sarah's anger because of fatigue or the period of women who are visiting.

William found the woman he married sitting in the kitchen with her knees bent attached to her chest. Sarah's eyes were blankly staring at the cold cup of coffee.

"At night you shouldn't have coffee." William takes Sarah's cup and throws away the full contents, "I make warm milk, you look tired." Unsolicited and awaiting Sarah's approval, William had already brewed two glasses of milk chocolate and placed them in front of Sarah.

The girl didn't budge. The view is the same, empty and sad.

"I'm sorry if any of my words hurt you. I really didn't mean to say you were stupid. I'm just worried, because you and Belle are now my full responsibility.

"Stop being nice to me, Wil. I prefer the old you, evil, gluttonous and uncaring" said Sarah flatly. William took a deep breath. He also doesn't understand what makes him change. He just wants to turn kind and gentle on Sarah and Belle, that's all.

"I'm just doing my job."

"Me too" said Sarah.

"What?" William frowned in surprise at Sarah's answer.

"Forget over. I went to the room to see Belle, I left her crying."

William restrains Sarah's standing hand, "Take her milk. Belle's asleep, you don't have to worry. Sit down, there's something I want to ask you." William pulled her back to sit down.

"You said Belle wasn't your son, and who was she?" Sarah sighed lazily hearing William's question.

"I'm tired of this topic. He is not my son, he is ... My friend's child who is pregnant out of wedlock." Sarah turned her face scared if William could read her lie.

"Where's her parents?"

"Don't know. He was just left out." Sarah put both her shoulders up.

"Then you willingly took care of her?"

"Well how else? Should I leave him by the side of the road? I just wish my friend would come and take it back."

He indeed hoped that the burden of caring for Belle and the task given by the plotters would soon be lifted from his shoulders. He understood, Belle's presence only as a bond between William and himself.

"If she comes and wants to take Belle, will you just hand her over?"

"Yes, why?"

"I don't agree. He's my son now. I'll make the letter soon. Easy thing for that, I have a lot of acquaintances who can help me take care of our files," said William eagerly.

"That's not necessary. I guess, you have the same thoughts as me about this marriage. From the very beginning this marriage occurred over your Papa's misunderstanding and we each know what really happened. I was also in need of a lot of money and your family was also trying to cover up the disgrace in the company because you were trying to play around with the lady of the night. We're even, Wil. I don't expect this marriage to take place like a couple in general, I know myself enough. Well, maybe we'll be together like this until the issue in your office subsides and I can pay off my debt."

"Sick, Wil!" sarah protest.

"What's wrong if this marriage lasts forever. I'm the one who anti-played the wedding vows. If I didn't act in the beginning, it was because I was adjusting, but in my mind I would never have ended this marriage if there was no obvious reason."

"There's a clear reason." Sarah replies to William, "There is no love between us, Wil. Marriage is basically love. The reason we're married you know for yourself what, needless to explain."

"You're wrong. Marriage is not only influenced by love, but it takes commitment between two people to build a healthy relationship. Love can be lost over time, but commitment will realize the importance of marriage."

"What are you talking about, my head is dizzy." Sarah tried to let William's hand go.

"We can, Sarah." William didn't let Sarah's hand out of his.

"Can what?!" exclaim Sarah's anxious.

William was silent, he looked down on Sarah's face which he had wanted to see the last few days first when he woke up in the morning, and the last when he ended the night in bed.

"I think .. I'm in love with you, Sarah," William said.

"He? Why the hell are you!"

"Our marriage is not normal like other couples, but that does not mean we cannot be like other couples. We can do even more than that, Sarah. Let's start at the beginning." William said with passion.

Sarah rolled back as William drew his face closer, shaking his head violently. It's not like the plan, William should hate it not the other way around.

"You say this because of a broken heart. Think carefully, you still have a chance to get Brenda's heart back, Wil. Take it easy this won't be long, after the gossip at the office subsides and spread the news about our separation you can re-establish your relationship with Brenda. That's easy, Wil." Sarah stood up and slowly walked back with her hands raised as if to forbid William from approaching.

"Without you asking, I've thought of that, Sarah, but the answer is always the same. I love you and I love Belle. I don't want you two out of my life." William continued to insist with sparkling eyes as if he was preaching something extraordinary.

"Have you ever asked me about my feelings and desires, Wil? From the very beginning you dragged me from where I live and your family forced me to marry you. I was not given the slightest chance to express my opinion. Now you also want to impose your will? Look, Wil, I don't love you. This marriage is only temporary, we have both benefited from each other so far. So please don't expect more, 'cause there's a time when Belle and I are gonna get out of this house."

"okay! Until the moment you said earlier, I will prove to you how I feel and listen, Sarah I will also make sure that you will feel the same way as me."

William's words stopped Sarah's steps that had almost passed the kitchen door.
