Way Back To You
I'll Be Your Baby's Dad

“You okay?”

Lona held onto and rolled Hanna's hair as Hanna regurgitated her entrails into the toilet. Hanna shakes. After cleaning himself he sat down on the toilet weakly. This was the second time all morning he was vomiting just because he ate the sandwich he usually ate every morning. Morning sickness, one of the symptoms that he read yesterday on the internet, he finally experienced it too.

“I didn't know that being pregnant would hurt this much.” Inner Hanna.

Maybe this is also one of the reasons why his mother just wanted to give birth to him, not want to add a sister for him again. Though Hanna remembered when she was a child, she whined all out at her Mama to give her a sister. Getting pregnant is very hard and painful.

“How about we go to the doctor? Maybe the doctor can give you advice to deal with your nausea.” suggested Lona.

Lona doesn't know what to do either. She had never been pregnant so she was completely blind about what Hanna had experienced this time. Usually he had a solution to all of Hanna's problems, but this time, he gave up.

“Later. I'm going to take a break.”

“Good. I can't keep you company now because I have to go to the office. Later coming home from the office I will take you to the doctor, how?”

Hanna nodded in agreement. Lona clasps Hanna's hand, leads her back to the room and helps Hanna break down. After that he enveloped Hanna and put a glass of drinking water on the nightstand, who knows Hanna thirsty later.

After Lona left, Hanna stared at the ceiling of her room. How'this? If I can't find Liam, do I have to? But this kid is clearly not wrong. I made the mistake of sleeping with a man I didn't know. He should not have borne my guilt at the cost of his own life.

Oh, my God, my head feels like it's gonna break.

Hanna was half-sitting, sharpening her hearing as she heard the sound of knocking on the door. Who's coming? Lona couldn't possibly knock on her door and she just left. Why would anyone come to see you this early in the morning?

“Pak Bobby..”

Hanna's eyes are round. What's he here for? Why has he been so attentive to me lately?

“Why are you on leave? You sick?”

What is your business with my health? “Just not feeling well sir. Tomorrow you may be able to enter the office.”

“I brought you breakfast. Have you eaten?”

Please, don't show me any food. You have no idea how much I hate all kinds of food right now. Even the food that I used to eat every day because of his deliciousness, now it feels bland and only arouses my nausea.

“You won't let me into your house?”

What else is this, God. I just want to rest, why are you asking to go inside? “I think you just stopped by. Please come in if it is.”

Hanna moved lazily and weakly because no food had survived in her stomach. He was very hungry, his mouth wanted to taste all the food but his stomach could not work together. Don't eat it, just smell it Hanna's gonna puke.

“You sure you're okay? Your face is pale because of.”

“Yakin Sir. Just need to rest.” said Hanna.

Hanna noticed Bobby's body gesture that was circulating her gaze around her house. Is he insulting my house? Maybe it's nothing compared to his house, but I don't think it needs to be that detailed when I see my house.

“Your house is quite comfortable. Not too broad but very convenient.”

Indeed indeed. That's why Hanna bought it first. This house fits the concept of a future home, comfortable and quiet, away from the crowd.

“Hanna.”

“Ya Pak.”

“Bobby only.”

Just bobby? Hanna's forehead curved.

“I know you may be wondering why I approached you. I'm not going to save it all anymore now and I'll be honest with you.”

Whatisthis? Why does his face look so serious?

“I like you.”

“..It has been since two years ago after I saw you first in our company gala dinner. At that time I knew you had a boyfriend, so I decided to harbor my feelings for you. A few weeks ago, I found out that you and your boyfriend broke up. That's why now I dare to express my feelings, you understand right?”

Understand what? Why did he suddenly say all that? There were a lot of things Hanna was thinking about, why did she even increase her load? She is quite beautiful –according to her own, but Bobby is a handsome CEO and has many relationships and acquaintances. Why didn't he fall in love with one of them? Why should Hanna?

“Sir Bobby, I'm sorry.”

“Bobby only.”

Hanna let out her breath. He looked at Bobby's face seriously but suddenly his nausea came back after smelling the scent of Bobby's perfume that was hit by a fan and carried on him. Despite her efforts, Hanna was unable to. Half-bending her body, Hanna ran towards the bathroom.

“Han..are you okay?”

Bobby walked behind him. She keeps watching Hanna but she still doesn't know what Hanna is going through and because she doesn't want to be near the stamp, Bobby can only hold himself back by standing at the bathroom door.

Hanna was still holding onto her stomach as she rinsed her face and gargled. He stared at the reflection of his face in the mirror with a severed breath. Suddenly his face turned pale, his head was like swirling and his eyes were dark.

Till...

When she opened her eyes, Hanna could smell the typical disinfectant scent of the hospital. He did not move much, but a slight pain in his left hand made him aware if he was being fitted with an infusion tube. Oh, my God, what happened to me? Why am I here?

“You're up?”

Bobby went into the room where he was being treated. Hanna tried to sit down but did not dare to look at Bobby. He must have known what happened to me. Embarrassing. Why should he be here and not Liam?

“Bapak.”

“Bobby only, Han!”

“Bobby..”

Hanna raised her face. Although this was indeed embarrassing, he could not keep it hidden. At least if he tells Bobby with his own mouth, he still has some self-esteem in his eyes –if it's still there.

“.. I know you already know what I'm going through now.”

“What did you experience?”

“I'm pregnant, and...I don't know how to say it but I don't know where this baby's father is.”

“Then?”

“This at once answered what you said at home earlier.”

“Something is wrong with pregnancy? Many of my friends were pregnant first before marriage, just plain.”

If Bobby knew how tough Hanna's struggle was going through this, he probably wouldn't have said it that simple. This pregnancy wasn't in her plans so this was enough to make her half crazy. If she can't find Liam, then her worst plan is for her to become a single parent. She couldn't have had an abortion, this child obviously couldn't just be eliminated because it meant she was so selfish. He doesn't want to do it.

“If you don't know where this baby's father is, why don't I? I'm ready to be his father.”

“What?”

“I told you that I like you so I don't mind accepting anything, everything about you. So, if you'd like, I'd be his father.”

“Is there really no one named Hanna who called you?”

Liam sat next to Noah who had only played the game on his phone while he had been running on the treadmill for almost an hour. Liam's shoulder went up and down, his breathing rhythm was fast and he was already tired. Seeing Noah who was busy with his phone, it was in vain they spent a lot of money to rent this gym place so they could use it freely.

“And I told you, I'll tell you right away if the girl contacts me. But since we listed that number, there is not a single woman named Hanna among the hundreds of people who called.”

Liam sighs. Is it that hard to find Hanna? Or, is it possible that this is the time he gave up on looking for her and refocused on finding new prey? But Hanna has set a new standard for her. The girl made him lose his way and had no intention of smacking any women anymore, except him. Liam only wants Hanna, not the others.
