Chapter 59: Test Result
I averted my eyes from him, my cheeks still flushed from his heartfelt words. "What are you talking about? Just eat your food," I replied, trying to hide my smile. My mind was still preoccupied with finding the perfect gift for him. "Don't even think of preparing a gift for me... Your mere presence on my birthday is enough," he insisted with a gentle smile. His words touched my heart, and I couldn't help but feel a wave of warmth wash over me. I tried to hide my joy, but a small smile escaped my lips before I walked towards the door. "You eat there!" I said, trying to regain my composure and change the subject. My heart was still racing with the affectionate words he had just spoken, and I needed a moment to gather my thoughts. He chuckled softly at my attempt to divert the conversation. "Alright, I'll eat," he said playfully, pretending to be persuaded by my suggestion. His eyes sparkled with amusement and tenderness, and I couldn't help but feel a rush of affection towards him. "I need to go back to work because I'm a maid here. Bye for now!" I informed him, glancing back at him curiously before making my way out of his room. As I descended the stairs, a contented smile lingered on my face. Joday noticed my cheerful demeanor when I reached the living room of the mansion. "Wow! Why do you look so happy, Lyka?" Joday asked with an amused grin. Before I could reply, she guessed, "Oh wait! I know! You're smitten, Lyka!" playfully teasing as she tried to pinch me. I couldn't help but smile and play along, but then I turned serious, wanting to share my thoughts with her. "I know he's innocent, Joday. It was all because of his illness. I can't blame him for what happened... I feel sorry for him." Joday nodded in understanding, placing her hands on my shoulders comfortingly. "The hardship you're going through right now, Lyka... But I can see that Kiro truly loves you. I hope you can find the patience through this difficult time." I appreciated her support and understanding, feeling grateful to have someone like her by my side.From NôvelDrama.Org.
"Thank you, Joday," I said with a nod before bidding her goodbye and heading to the garden, where I wanted some time alone to think. As I stood in front of my withering plants, Datdat and Dodong, I couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness. They had been a source of comfort and companionship, and now, seeing them in such a state made me realize how neglectful I had been during these eventful times. "Datdat... Dodong... I'm really sorry I haven't visited you lately. There have been so many things happening in my life. Do you want to know about it?" I asked, feeling a bit silly for talking to my plants. But in a strange way, it felt comforting to share my thoughts with them. "I-I think I might be pregnant," I admitted nervously, even though I was only talking to plants. The idea of pregnancy had stirred up a whirlwind of emotions within me, and I found myself seeking solace in my plant friends. "I'll find out for sure soon when I take the pregnancy test later," I added, my voice softening as I continued to talk to them. The gentle breeze rustled their fading leaves, almost as if they were listening to me. As I confided in them about my feelings of excitement and anxiety, I couldn't help but feel a sense of relief. It was as if they were listening and understanding without judgment, providing a safe space for me to express my emotions. Deciding to head back to the mansion and help in the kitchen, I was caught off guard by Miss Linda and Joday observing me. They noticed my actions and quickly intervened, offering to take care of the work themselves. "Don't work, Lyka. We'll handle it. We won't tell Madam," Miss Linda reassured me, with Joday nodding in agreement. But I couldn't help but wonder how things might change if I really was pregnant. Would they treat me differently and not let me do anything? "I can still work perfectly fine, Miss Linda. I don't feel unwell," I explained, trying to assure them that I was capable of carrying on with my usual tasks. However, they insisted that I should take the pregnancy test and even joined me to try it. As Joday dragged me towards the bathroom, she couldn't contain her excitement. "Come on, Lyka! Let's find out if you're pregnant! I bet you are!" she exclaimed, her enthusiasm contagious.
As we stood in front of the bathroom door, she asked if I knew how to use the pregnancy test. "Yes, I know how, but I'm feeling a little nervous, Joday," I admitted honestly. With her support and Miss Linda's understanding, I felt a surge of courage. Whatever the result may be, I knew I had people by my side who cared for me deeply. And as I held the pregnancy test in my hands, my heart raced with anticipation, ready to embrace whatever the future had in store for me. Joday's excitement was contagious as she urged me to take the pregnancy test. I followed her lead and went into the bathroom to perform the test, my nerves getting the best of me. After a few minutes, I completed the test and stepped out of the bathroom, clutching the result in my hand. As the minutes ticked by, I could hear the sound of my own heartbeat echoing in my ears. Thoughts raced through my mind, envisioning the possible scenarios that lay ahead. The uncertainty of it all made my palms sweaty and my stomach churn with nervousness. But I knew I couldn't back down now; I had to be strong and face whatever the test showed. Joday couldn't contain her eagerness. "Oh my! What's the result, Lyka? Is it positive?" she asked, her excitement palpable. My heart was pounding, and I couldn't bring myself to look at the result just yet. "J-joday, can you look?" I asked, passing the pregnancy test to her, unable to muster the courage to see it myself. "H-huh? Why me? You should be the first to look, Lyka!" she protested, but I insisted, not wanting to face disappointment if the result was negative. "Just do it, Joday. If it's positive, shout, if it's negative, just stay quiet," I explained, my heart racing with anticipation. She nodded and, following my request, I closed my eyes and covered them with my hands, waiting anxiously for her reaction. After a moment of silence, I began to feel a sense of remorse and disappointment settling in. I was already bracing myself for the negative outcome. With a sudden burst of energy, Joday approached me and hugged me tightly. Her voice filled with excitement, she exclaimed, "Confirmed! My joy, I have never been so happy in my life. You're pregnant!"
Finally, the moment of truth arrived, and the display showed the unmistakable sign I had hoped and feared to see. The test was positive. A rush of emotions overwhelmed me, and tears welled up in my eyes. Joy, fear, and excitement all mingled together, creating an emotional storm within me. I stood there, trying to grasp the reality of what the test meant. I was going to be a mother. A profound sense of responsibility washed over me, knowing that my life was about to change in ways I couldn't possibly imagine. A new chapter was beginning, and I felt a mixture of excitement as I embraced this unexpected journey. Joday’s words hit me like a bolt of lightning, and my heart soared with joy and relief. I couldn't believe it. I was going to be a mother. Tears welled up in my eyes, and my emotions overwhelmed me. "I'm pregnant!" I whispered, my voice filled with awe and happiness. Joday's laughter echoed in the room as she celebrated the news with me. In that moment, I felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude and love for life growing inside me. Joday and I hugged tightly, sharing the joyous moment together. I knew that this was just the beginning of a new chapter in my life – one filled with challenges and blessings, but also with love and happiness. As I thought about Kiro, the father of my child, I knew I had to share this wonderful news with him. I couldn't wait to see his reaction. At that moment, I knew I couldn't face this alone. I held the positive pregnancy test in my hand, I took a deep breath. It was time to talk to Kiro and face the truth together, no matter what it might bring. I am pregnant. I am going to be a mother.
