Who Is Pregnant With My Child?
Seeking the Existence of Adel

John PoV

I was sitting in my room thinking about what happened last week. I know that I once again messed things up with Adel. When I left for the first time, I felt so disappointed and hurt. I thought that she was cheating on me.

But after looking back, now I feel so embarrassed. He was the one who should have abandoned me, not the other way around. I had even investigated the man named Jefri and also asked him, about what really happened the moment I saw the scene involving the two of them on that day.

Jefri said everything, and it made me feel so guilty about what I had done. I was so stupid and emotional because I just believed what I saw. In reality, everything I see is not what I think.

I should have asked her what had happened and not just left her. Moreover, I left him while he was in his infirmity. And the pain he was experiencing was none other than me.

'I'm really stupid!'

That night, when I realized that I was dancing with her at a nightclub, I felt so happy that I was in the same place as her.

I actually had a chance to make everything between me and Adel get better. But I was so drunk and like always all I thought about was how to hurt her because I always felt that she had slept with that guy named Jefri. But I already know the truth.

But I don't know, I don't know what's been inside me until I keep thinking about what really never happened. Maybe it's because I love him too much and it makes me always angry when I see him with other men.

I was used to venting my anger at him for thinking of nothing. But when the woman, I think she was one of Adel's friends, poured a glass of drink on my face, it immediately made me feel sober.

The next morning when I realized everything, I felt uneasy and it was all really so messed up. I've been trying to find Adel the next day and the next. But I found nothing about him.

That night, when I saw him with my friend at our favorite bar, it made me so surprised. I feel so happy and nervous too. I wanted to tell him that I've made all those mistakes. I also wanted to tell him that I still love him.

However, she was later introduced as the lover of Justin, one of my best friends. It made me angry, but not Adel, not at all. I was angry with Justin.

I've told Justin all about Adel, my love. And Justin must have realized that the woman I used to tell him about named Adel was the same girl he was dating right now.

He knew that I always looked for Adel after the night I met Adel for the first time at the nightclub because I always told him everything. But it turns out that all this time he was dating Adel, maybe even he had slept with Adel.

I can say that Justin knows from the bottom of his heart that Adel is the same woman as the woman I often tell him about. That's why our fight started. I feel so angry. I was betrayed by one of my best friends.

I know it doesn't help anything for my relationship with Adel to improve. And what happened was even more chaotic because Adel finally had to pay bail for both of us to get out of prison. I know that he doesn't have enough money. But he still wants to free me.

It gave me hope that everything would be okay with our relationship. When I came out of the cell, it was painful for me to see my three children calling me 'Papa'. They still remember me and they seem so happy to see me.

I would love to hug them all and kiss them and also hold them. But I know that Adel is not happy. So it would be too risky for me if I did. Especially when Adel invites children to go home immediately.

I honestly never wanted to leave them at first. I thought I was going to be gone for a while. But everything went awry and I just got further away.

I just don't want them to be unhappy anymore because of my presence. I was also afraid that I was the reason why they would not be happy later. I don't want to hurt them anymore.

I then tried to call Adel the next day and the next day and so on. But I still can't reach him. I also realized that he blocked my call because he didn't want to talk to me anymore.

I couldn't calm myself down and kept thinking that Justin was in Adel's apartment, and it made me angry and disappointed.

Right now, I was sitting in my room thinking about everything that had happened and how I could fix everything. But nothing that crossed my mind could make Adel want to talk to me again.

My phone suddenly rang and it kept me out of my daydream.

"Hello!" My speech.

"Hi, is this John?" Said a woman heard from across the phone.

"Who is this?" My toot.

"Hi it's Sofia. Mmm. You may not remember me. I'm a good friend of Adel and his baby sitter." Reply to the woman.

"Yes, you're the girl that's been with him a lot, right? You're the girl who doused my face with drinks at the nightclub and you were the one with her at the precinct." My reply.

"Yes, that's me." Reply with a voice that sounded a little nervous. "Listen, I don't want to bother you or whatever it is. Mmmm... But I want to ask, is Adel likely there?" The woman named Sofia asked me in a voice that sounded increasingly nervous.

"You must know that Adel won't pick up the phone from me. Then how could he possibly be here with me?" I asked with the feeling of starting to worry about thinking about Adel.

"Damn, mmm. Thank you John." He wants to end our conversation.

"Hey.... Hold still. Has something happened? Is she okay?" Ask again.

"Adel would've killed me if he knew that I was talking to you. But I think I really need help." Sofia said in a trembling voice.

"Tell me what happened? I can help." Reply me.

"Well, actually Adel and I had a little argument yesterday about what had happened between you all and he was upset. So she decided to get out of the apartment, but she hasn't come back until now." Sofia said in a voice that sounded like someone crying.

"You mean Adel hasn't been home for 12 hours? Isn't it cold out there because it's raining?" I said with anger.

"I know! That's why I'm worried. Oh my....! I've called everyone I know. And her mother will be here as soon as possible and I still haven't found Adel's whereabouts." Sofia said in a panic again.

"When I called her Mama and asked if Adel was there and then she said Adel wasn't there. He realized that something bad might have happened. So he said that he'd be here as fast as he could." Reply Sofia.

"Alright, listen to me... I'm going there right now, okay." My speech.

"Now, but I honestly don't know. Adel would definitely not be happy about this." Reply Sofia again.

"Listen, right now I just want to make sure that Adel's okay, okay." My words are full of emphasis.

"Well, we live in an apartment building opposite the flower shop near the campus in apartment Number 22 B." Sofia.

"Well, I'll be there in 10 minutes." I said and then I hung up the phone.

My thoughts about Adel having a problem made me so nervous. I just hope that nothing bad happens to him. I hope he's okay.

...****************...

I finally arrived at Adel's apartment and at the same time Mama Adel arrived. Mama Adel looked at me and looked sculpted.

"John!" Mama Adel said with a surprised-looking face.

"Hi Ma'am Helen." I'm nervous.

Mama Adel immediately ran towards me and hugged me warmly. She was more of a Mama to me than Mama I ever had.

"What are you doing here?" Ask Ms. Helen as we enter the elevator.

"I've met Adel a few times. Just a moment ago, her roommate called me and I thought I could help something." Reply with a little shame.

"I can guess that you don't want Adel to know that you're here, right?" Said Mrs Helen.

I rubbed my neck from nervousness.

"He might kill me if he finds out that I'm close to his apartment." Reply me.

Ms. Helen looked at me with an expression that was as if she already knew about something and that was what I liked about her. He knew that when I didn't want to say things any further, he already knew everything without asking what was going on.

"Has Miss Helen been here a lot before?" Ask pleasantries.

"Not too often." Reply to Ms. Helen with a sad looking face. "I was just helping them move here and I stayed here for a week. And that's the last time I saw them." Reply to Ms. Helen with a sad-looking face.

"Mom Helen knows that I don't want to go, right?" I said in a soft voice.

"Yes John, I know how much you love Adel and those kids. I just wish that you could go home." Miss Helen said in a sincere voice that made me feel ashamed.

"At least you're trying now Miss Helen said again. "That's the core of everything. You will always be family to me, no matter what you and Adel have gone through or you will go through in the future." Said Miss Helen again.

I looked at him with full force.

"Thank you, Helen." My speech.

"Well, there's no need to feel so melancholy now. Let's find my daughter and the love of your life." As we walked out of the elevator.

I just laugh when I follow her she always makes me laugh. And I've always longed for this sense of kinship that she gave me.

We walked into Adel's apartment and saw that Sofia and Justin were sitting at a table with my twins playing on the floor. I felt so happy and my chest was pounding so fast as I looked at the children.

'Oh my God, I miss them so much.'

...****************...

We've been looking for Adel for 5 hours. I can say that everyone, including myself, is currently feeling so worried. Adel will not just leave and not give any news like this.

"I think it's time for us to call the cops." I said quickly after we all returned to Adel's apartment.

We all sat at the table looking at each other. We've all split up and looked for Adel everywhere. But he's nowhere.

"I agree." Miss Helen said with tears welling up in her eyes.

I looked towards Sofia and Justin and they both nodded their heads. I pulled out my phone and called the police number. It's time we could find Adel by asking the police for help.

'Adel, hope you're okay.'
