Kameela Devgan

"Aww, babe, congrats!" It took me a good 3 seconds to register what's happening as Lisa jumped on me for a hug right away after I descended the car.

"My sixth sense is remarkable and I'm so happy to be a godmother already." She cheered and stopped for a minute when she looked passed me. "Where's Dhi?"

"He's....still in Paris."

"What? Why?" She asked me in surprise.

"It's a long story. I will tell you later. I'm tired now, I just want to sleep."

She nodded her head but was still grumbling as she escorted me to the elevator. "That jackass has some nerves to let you leave alone. I will teach him a lesson later."

"Lisa, he has his reasons. Don't go all assassin on him without knowing that and I'm a grown up woman for God's sake." I rolled my eyes at her as I said so.

"Yes, a grown up woman with a fetus inside her so she should be getting extra care and attention." She huffed and the elevator arrived on my floor yet we walked to my house.

At the mention of my baby, I swear my heart bounced in a new level of enthusiasm. I can't wait to meet my baby, either he or she would be perfect no matter what and I need to practice a healthy routine from now on.

Tossing the keys out of her bag, she unlocked the door and we moved in. Lisa helped me to drag th luggages into my room and I skipped the part of unpacking as all I need now was to sleep.

"I will sleep for a while, Lisa. If you're leaving, then place the keys beside the door's rack." I told her as I sat on the bed, my chest aching a little.

"I'm staying over. Not leaving for now." She shook her head, looking adamantly serious about her confession.

"Lisa, the baby and I would be fine. You don't need to worry about us, okay?" I informed while unbuckling my bra, which seemed a lot tighter than usual. I puffed out, relief as I felt my chest loosening in ease.

Did I gain weight already?

"Hmph!" She sighed, turning away to exit the room and I drop the bra on the floor before laying down on the bed.

She walked right back in with a scowl and she was holding onto some shopping bags. "I bought this yesterday after I got the news. I'm sure it would fit." She announced while putting the bags on the side of my closet.

"What's that?"

"It's the new bras. I noticed your boobies were bigger than before and I had that wild guess already. And, talking about you two being 'fine'...." She sarcastically mocked with a brow raised. "....you have no idea about this, don't you? The surprising thing is, it's your goddamn body but you still failed to check this over." She had her hands over her waist, sternly eyeing me down.

"Okay, I might be a little....uncertain, but-"

"No buts on me, Cabello. I'm staying over and that's it. We are going to the doctor's check up tomorrow morning and I will be coming with you. Get some sleep now so that you can wake up fresh tomorrow." She said while walking across the room to unhook the tied up curtains.

"Lisa." I called her just before she could disappear behind the door and I felt my eyes muscles working on another set of upcoming tears formation. I'm really lucky to have someone like her in my life.

"Oh, don't you dare. Beat that hormone shit down and sleep. You know that I love you and my little godchild." She screeched at the beginning, making me to swallow down the urge and smiled at the end, when she refered me yet my baby.

I closed my eyes, snuggling through my comforter with one of my palm caressing over army belly and I doze off pretty quick.

*****

It's the morning and I was in the worse condition as I felt all the rural symptoms in pregnancy hit me like a tornado. The morning sickness, which I had for the first time today, was terrifying as hell but I overcome it with the help of my best friend and she managed to drag me out to see the doctor.

When we reached the hospital, we were called right away to meet the doctor as Lisa clarified that she had already made an appointment yesterday. The doctor consults me and then, took us to the gynecology room.

I saw my baby in the digital monitor and I was crying, the thought of carrying the resemblance of our love story irked my hormones to extent. After sharing the moment with happy tears, Lisa and I were told to wait for the complete report with the ultrasound images attached together.

Lisa started blabbering about how should I take care of myself and the baby, she seems to go nonstop but I didn't mind as I was into the moment too. Though, one specified speech of hers had made me still. "When are you going to tell your baby daddy?"

I think she felt my uneasiness because she began taking a hold of my shoulder. I slowly darted my fogged up eyes towards hers and she was eyeing me with concern. I slanted myself onto her shoulder and I was weeping onto her, my head laying on the crook of her shoulder. She got her arms around me firmly.

"It's okay. I understand." She murmured. "But you know that you should tell him, right?"

I woke my head away and looked at her. "Why should I tell him? Or more like, how should I tell him? He's gone."

She yanked her hand away in full speed, eyeing me in confusion now. "What the hell? He's here in flesh. You literally spent a whole week with him and now, he's gone?" She pronounced, her face turning a little red.

"I spent my days with the billionaire Adrian Reed Smith, not the Love God." I told her in serious tone and she grunted. "Adrian and the Love God are the same person! He might not remember you but he got you pregnant!"

"What do you want me to do? Go and tell him everything? That the invisible version of you had got me pregnant and you had to support this baby, or even better to marry me?" I swallowed the tightness on my throat after I raged over with high sarcasm.

How can she ever say something so stupid like that? Just imagine, the scene of me telling him that he got me pregnant when he was invisible to everyone. No one will believe me, even he didn't believe me when I said about us being in love before. So, just think of the chaos that may occur when this reaches the media, especially with his outrage fame all over city, they would roast my entire background and would target to name me down as the 'gold-digger'. They would eventually question my pregnancy and the last thing I want is to humiliate my baby.

"But....what if he remember you after you-" She was about to complete it when I interrupted. "He didn't remember a thing after I told him the entire story, then why would he with this one? There's no use. He's not going to be my Love God and I asked this Adrian to leave my life already."

"You did what? He was clearly into you and you shoo that man away, just because he didn't remember you as the Love God?" Lisa shouted, taking everyone around by surprise.

"Lisa, shush!" I shut her down but she isn't getting it. "No, Cabello. You can't be serious with what you said. It's either the effect of your hormonal changes or you have gone insane when-."

"He's engaged, Lisa!" Her eyes grew bigger and my eyes worn out of tears. Looking away, my body gave up and I slanted on the chair on the sudden outburst, yet I continued. "I know that he have something on me, I know that he's into me but I had to still let him go. Not because he didn't remember me but because he's engaged, publicly. She's everything a billionaire needs in person and I....I am nothing."

"He isn't my Love God anyway, I'm sure those feelings he had on me was the effect of my Love God from deep inside him. It would eventually disappear when he marry her. He's where he belongs right now." I said while my hands rubbed over my belly, a longing smile lighting my lips. "And, I'm where I belonged. I have my baby now and I don't need to wait for anyone else to love me other than my upcoming baby."

"Miss Devgan?" My name was called to collect the doctor's check up report and I wiped away the tears while standing up with my bag clutched on the side to get the papers.

As soon as I received the papers, I peered around to see upon Lisa and she looked blank. "Lisa?" I exclaimed and she stared up at me.

I signalled her to leave and she nodded her head, keeping up with me in silence. Which is very unlike her.

When we finally reached the car, I couldn't held it any longer so I questioned her ridiculing silence. "Why are you so silent? I swear, Lisa, I'm going to be insane if you keep that talkative mouth of yours shut."

She stared at me blankly for a second before starting the engine and shook her head. "I'm just...." She sighed, taking a hold my hand.

"Babe, I'm so proud of you. Like, I'm mesmerized with what you just said. You sound so confident and strong, which I haven't seen in you lately. You know what? You're right, you don't need a man to be strong and confident, you will do good as a single mama. Let me tell you this, you're going to rock this pregnancy." She explained in full mode of enthusiasm and I nodded my head while looking away, even though deep down in me there's still these aches over the thought of my baby growing up to a fatherless environment, when he's still out there but within someone else's senses.

Though I know I should really move on, not for anyone or anything but only for my upcoming baby.

Adrian Reed Smith

"Don't you dare call me that! You're not my Love God to call me that."

My hand tighten around the glass as it reels over the tormenting things she spoken.

"Just because I shared it all to you, doesn't mean that you're my Love God."

"I kissed you back because I felt him inside you and that means nothing to do with the Adrian Reed Smith. He's no more in my life and I don't want you to perk up my stupid hopes higher."

Flashes by flashes the scenes rolled in my head and I closed my eyes to close the vision.

"I want to go back home. I want to go away from you, from this Adrian Reed Smith who only looks like my Love God."

"Trust me, this will be the best for both of us. I....can't take him for granted and it's not like he's going to remember everything again."

I got rooted with these painfully erupting memories for hours now and I lost my battle to count on the time when I started drinking, yet I'm still ongoing. Taking a single gulp like every other, I reached for the bottle to refill again and it was empty. I shook the another bottle beside it and my action repeated on the other next two as well, but neither were filled.

"S-Sir?" I groaned, looking up at the depressingly stuttering waitress. "Are you....urmm....our bar will be closed in few minutes. Do y-you want us to extend the closing time for-" She informed slowly.

I stood up, tumbling but got a good balance eventually. "Don't need to. I'm leaving." I gruff it out and walked pass her. The exquisite bar grounded with silence as I spot none human around in business suit, except the one in black and white uniform.

I walked out and met my already waiting car on the front. One of my bouncer waiting patiently by the side of the door and as I get in, he joined the passenger seat with th driver. He looked over towards me and I nodded at him, which abstractly means to direct the way back home.

Home?

Imagine living alone with house full of spaciousness and even after having everything you desired around, the 13 acred living place of mine had never gave me the feel of home. With no family or relatives to care about my being since the age of 10, I invested myself in studies and cooperates along a long lost uncle who's business that I helped to bloom. He see the potential in the 16 year old me and gave me an opportunity to handle his business right after then.

That's how my life with businesses started and after he passed away, he resented all to me. He knows that the main reason for his business's growth is myself so he never hesitate much to gave it all to me. I became the full custody of this foundation and after then, I came up with my own empire. You may now know of why I had to shut tight the road of feelings or emotions, especially for someone like me who appeared from a dysfunctional environment, who doesn't really know the meaning of home.

So....what does a real 'home' meant anyway?

"Love God, I'm home!" Just when I heard her from the main door, I rush up to her and swooped her in my arms. Kissing her soft lips right away, I felt myself getting rejuvenated.

"Now we are at home. Whenever we are like this, that's where home comes along. " I mumbled over her lips as soon as we pulled away and she nodded with cute giggling.

"....sir?" I was in the middle of the cutscenes which reeled from somewhere deeper in my brain when I had to look up to the reality at the calling person.

My bouncer was infront me with my car's door wide open and he was eyeing me with concern. I looked away and abruptly nodded my head, signalling that I'm fine and he moved away to let me out of the car.

It's surprising that I had arrived early than I expected to my so called 'home' and while looking around, I could only see the loneliness I had been through all these years.

I stumbled on my foot step when I got close to the stair but had the balance back on track quickly as I walked in the dull front hallway. As I entered, I was startled by the sudden hug from someone on front.

"Honey, you're home." It was never a 'home' with you. I wanted to say it out aloud on her infuriating purr.

"Yeah, yeah." I responded dryly and put some effort to detach myself from her death grip.

"You're drunk? Is this your way to celebrate the good news, without me?" I was shook, good news?

"Good news?" I asked her and she dramatically wrapped her arms around my neck, pulling me closer to her face. Which I obviously battle to free again.

On her desperate look, I know that the news going to be anything but good.

"Come on, sweetie, don't tell me that my father haven't tell you yet."

I was frustrated by then and I lose my sanity. "Just say what it is, dammit!"

"It's about our wedding in a month. My father arranged it all and he had fixed the dates as well....I thought you might have known by now." She explained in a little voice as she mirrored fear after my previous outburst.

Wedding? In a month? Her father arranged it all, without my own consent?

I know that everyone might be thinking by now of what happen to Dhilip. Well, I will got your backs on the next chapter....or another!🌝
