Seven Months Later...
Manhattan, 06.45am.
The Winter in December.
Amber opened her eyes, appearing in front of her a brown-haired man with a firm jaw still curled under the thick white blanket. Time seems to pass quickly, as well as the seasons that have also changed. And now in various parts of Manhattan has been blanketed by heavy snow.
Amber then smiled, enjoying every curve of the man's face.
'It's been seven months. It's been seven months since you married me, Edrick. And you kept your promise to me never to touch me, even though we always slept on the same bed, in the same room, and under the same roof. Friends of life, maybe that's what we both call it. But can I expect more from that?' inner Amber while she smiled her thin smile.
Amber then sat on the bed holding her enlarged stomach. Feel every kick from the tiny creature in the womb, which is likely to have been born in two weeks.
"My son, I can't wait to see you in this world, dear. Mommy promised, when you were born, Mommy would always try to make you happy, honey."
Amber looked out the window and saw the snow that had fallen. "The season has changed, the spring that became the beginning of my bitter story has long since passed, and so has my heart. At first, I thought it would be hard to forget you, Jeff. I thought forgetting you was the hardest part of my heart, but I was wrong. Turns out I was wrong, because forgetting a cowardly man like yourself turns out to be so easy for me. Turns out, the universe was never wrong in giving an omen."
Amber then looked back at Edrick. 'Edrick, I know, I can't expect more from you. You help me and cover up all my shame is enough for me. I can't expect more from you, Ed. I'm sorry if I have a taste in you, I don't know how it is suddenly present in my heart, a feeling that comes so suddenly and without warning. I'm sorry if I start to have a taste I can call love. I'm sorry if I started falling in love with you, Edrick. Seven months of our togetherness has truly rendered me powerless and powerless to deny this feeling of love for you. I'm sorry, Ed if I've fallen in love with you, Amber smiled wryly.
Amber then looked at the clock on the wall of the room. "It's almost seven in the morning, I'd better prepare breakfast for Edrick first" said Amber, rising from her bed, and taking her warm clothes. He then exited the room and headed to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for Edrick.
After Amber exited the room, Edrick's eyes seemed to move. Slowly, the brown eyes opened and looked beside the now empty bed.
"Oh, Amber is awake."
He then got up from the bed and opened the door. When the door to the room was not fully open, Edrick was seen peering at Amber who was currently seen busy cooking in the kitchen.
"Amber" said Edrick, smiling wryly.
Edrick then smiled sweetly when he saw the funny behavior of Amber who was so tired a little resist nausea when applying butter because during her pregnancy, she was a little allergic to the smell of butter.
'Amber, why did I just realize that your behavior turned out to be so adorable. I was so stupid to be fixated on one woman who had never loved me in her life. After I realized all this, I was so ashamed of all my silly behavior, I should have been able to open my heart to another woman a long time ago, I was so stupid to waste my time feeling the love that clapped my hands. And now that I had the courage to open my heart, I realized that falling in love with you was so easy. But unfortunately, I know enough myself who I am in your eyes, because I realize. To you, I am only a man who covers your disgrace, nothing more. But Amber, may I wish for more than that? May I wish to seize your heart to fall in love with me?' mumbling Edrick.
He then glanced towards his wall clock. "Ah shit! It's noon, I might be late for the office if I keep watching Amber" Edrick grumbled. He then rushed into the bathroom.
Amber, who had finished cooking and served breakfast to Edrick on the dining table, looked at their door.
"It's noon, why hasn't Edrick left the room yet?" lamented Amber.
He then walked towards the room, but while walking towards the room, suddenly his eyes were fixed on the news on television that broadcast the forecast of a snowstorm that will fall in various parts of the N.Y.C region
"Anytime there's a snowstorm? Ah, I better tell Edrick!" amber. Die then continued her steps towards their room.
When Amber entered the room, it looked like Edrick had just come out of the bathroom using a towel that covered his lower body.
Amber only swallowed her saliva violently when she saw the athletic body of Edrick without clothes covering her abdominal muscles and hands that looked perfectly sculpted.
Looking at Amber who was standing looking at him with a fixated look, Edrick slowly approached her.
"Amurin!" call Edrick lirih. But Amber just fell silent, and just looked at Edrick with a gaze so deep.
Erick was getting closer to Amber, while Amber was currently looking at Edrick with a deeper gaze. ' Amber, please don't act like this, if you see you like this, then how can I control myself, Amber? I am not a perfect man who can always hold back in the midst of my lust that is so turbulent with you, ' Edrick murmured.
While outside, the snow is now falling more and more, adding to the cold that is now increasingly penetrated into the body.
