The Twin Bed (Wrong Bed)

The Twin Bed (Wrong Bed)
Who's The One Who's Hurt?


Hearing the gynecologist's words, tears began to drip. 'What should I do? How will my future be? I am pregnant with the child of a married man, so how can I raise this son of mine? Will Jeff acknowledge this child in my womb as his flesh and blood? Should I raise this child myself?' amber murmured while wiping away her tears, her chest now felt so tight.


'Lord, help me, ' Amber murmured again as she rose from the top of the gurney. The nurse next to him helped him down and then took a wheelchair and then approached Jeff and the obstetrician who was talking.


"Sir Jeff, from now on please take care of your wife's health, keep her food intake and try to keep your wife not too tired because she is pregnant young, the content is still very vulnerable. I prescribe folic acid-enhancing vitamins and pain relievers to treat his headache for Mrs Amber, later you can penetrate it in the pharmaceutical section.


"Alright doc," replied Jeff though with such raging feelings. After the examination in the gynecologist's room was completed, Jeff and Amber then returned from the hospital. Along the way from the hospital, both of them could only be silent busy with their own thoughts. After arriving at the apartment, Jeff then helped Amber get out of the car and then carried her back into the apartment building.


"No need for Jeff."


"It's okay" replied as he walked into the apartment. Jeff then lowered Amber's body when they were at the door of the apartment where Amber lived.


"Go home, Jeff. It's late afternoon, your wife must be waiting for you."


"My wife is going to Ohio, and I have something to talk to you about anyway" Jeff said.


Amber nodded her head. They entered the apartment and sat on the sofa. Both are silent again. Jeff then breathed his breath and looked at Amber.


"Amber, I'm sorry. All of this is because of my mistake. The mistake of one night turned out to be so fatal for both of us, I'm really sorry Amber," Jeff said with eyes so sad. Amber can only cry.


"It's both of us's fault, Jeff. And, I also did not expect that this mistake would be so fatal. We've hurt your wife."


"No, it wasn't you but me that caused all these disasters to hurt you both. I'm sorry, Amber."


"You take it easy, I know enough myself, I will never interfere with your relationship, I will never demand anything from you."


"No, I can't. The child in your womb is my flesh and blood! I can't let go of the problems that are going on between the three of us!" snapped Jeff.


"Who said you'd ruin my home life?"


"Then what should we do?"


"Treating and raising the child together, Amber!"


"But this is tantamount to hurting your wife?"


"My wife won't be hurt if we hide all this from her. And you must remember that whenever I'm never going to give up my responsibilities as the biological father of that child!"


"I don't want to be third, Jeff. Didn't you also say that you love your wife very much? I don't want to hurt your wife!"


"Nobody's gonna get hurt, Amber. We're gonna keep all this a secret?"


"Then until when? How long can we hide all this from your wife?"


"We can do it, Amber. When this kid's born, I'll take you out of here. But for now, you better stay here, stay close to me because I have to keep your pregnancy!"


"NO JEFF, THAT'S NOT A GOOD PLAN! I DON'T WANT ANYONE TO GET HURT!"


"THEN IF YOU GET OUT OF MY LIFE YOU THINK NO ONE GETS HURT? IT'S THE SAME THING AS HURTING THAT KID AND YOURSELF, AMBER!"


"BUT JEFF..."


Amber had not been able to continue her words, suddenly Jeff's lips were stuck on his lips then mumbled the lips that made Amber speechless.
