"Really, Miss Max? You do fashion designing? " Glenda's eyes widened in amazement.
"Yes, in fact, I left the country for five years to accept a fashion designing job. My employer saw my potentials so he sent me further to fashion school to get a bachelor's degree ."
"Wow, really? I am a fashion lover, you know. I love dresses, new styles, new trends. That is one of my greatest obsessions. " Glenda's eyes flickered in excitement.
Her love for fashion outweighed her own desire to be a mother during her
first three years in marriage. She felt flattered and proud in every admiration which she got from her circle of friends, most especially from those socialites within her women's league. The women's league, which she belonged to, was composed of married women from higher social statuses who were united for a common objective, to reach out those who were less fortunate women of the society, mostly of whom, were subjects of domestic violence.
However, her husband's frustration for being childless had become evident and she felt that this failure would fire back against their marital relationship. All because she noticed that his travels had become frequent, his staying out late for work had become serious and his interest to spend time with her had grown cold.
"Then, Miss Glen, I'll be more than happy to create new designs for
you. "
This was the beginning of Max and Glenda's friendship. Their fashion talks shifted to personal matters and experiences. They went shopping together frequently and rushed out to every shop which offered great discounts of famous and branded accessories. Above all, they became each other's crying shoulders.
Yet, there's one thing Maxine could never gave up. It was her own obsession to her first love and now the husband of her new bestfriend.
It was beyond Glenda's suspicion that while she loved her company, she also secretly enjoyed with her husband's forbidden moments in the comforts of being his personal secretary.
" Am I crazy, Felix? Isn't there any sense in my decision? If I won't get rid of this fetus now, how will I hide my growing abdomen few months from today? And how will I answer your wife's question of who the father is? She knows that I am not into any relationship. This would only raise a suspicion from her, being the only man I am around
with. "
Felix was silent for a while. He was already long prepared ahead of this. In fact, he wanted her to become pregnant, a very delicate matter in which he should have only wanted for Glenda to give. But it had been already five years, and despite their desperate efforts, her womb remained barren as ever.
" Go to Atlanta. I will help you start your own fashion business. " He said, his eyes were faraway as his mind was in deep thoughts.
To lessen her guilt from being pregnant, she accepted Felix's offer. She just needed to start and stand up on her own. After this, she would completely get away from him and free herself from the bondage of adultery. She just couldn't go on with this chaotic life anymore, of being imprisoned by the guilt of spending stolen moments with a married man. He may be the first and only love in her whole lifetime, but it couldn't justify her sin of grabbing him away from his legal and rightful owner.
It was her fault after all. It was she who left. And she foolishly thought that he could wait until forever.
She started with a garment industry and after many years, she ventured into wedding outfit designing. Thus, the birth of her now famous wedding planning business.
___
For two years, the Ybañez couple tried every possible way to have a child. Aside from their regular appointments with Felix's sister who was an OB - Gyne, they also went hopping from another OB to another.
Glenda became obsessed then, that she considered every tips and suggestions from her friends on how to become pregnant, even to the extent of believing the wonders of any herbal and nutritional supplements could create.
One night, after sending her bestfriend Maxine to the airport with her pretense of launching her own fashion business, she suddenly felt ill. She felt unusually dizzy that later on, she ended up vomiting. Felix, who witnessed how sudden she turned pale, rushed out to get her a warm milk. Only to throw her stomach out into the sink! She took antacids but every morning, that same feeling surged again.
He then called up Glory, his sister who was an obstetrician.
"Felix, don't worry. I guess it's not an illness. It's called morning sickness, one of the most common symptoms of pregnancy. Let her do a pregnancy test right now! "
Damn, why hadn't he thought about this? He got so overjoyed that he immediately purchased the pregnancy test kit. And as he expected, it was positive!
___
Anthon was completely silent on their way home from the beach. When he pulled over the front gate of Anna's house, he did not say a word. He just leaned back on the seat, waiting for her to make a move. His mind was on the message he wrongly sent to Jia.
"Hon, are you angry at me? " Anna glued her eyes directly at him.
"Anna, next time, be careful with your words. "
"What do you mean? " Anna innocently asked, her eyes began to get wet.
"I dislike it when you brought up our wedding plans in front of Jia. "
Anna then understood that he didn't want to hurt her. But she couldn't understand why it would necessarily ruin his mood. Sooner or later, she would face this. Sooner or later, she would need to accept the fact that she would be Anthon's wife.
"Why, Ton, did she consider the same way when she allowed you to personally attended her own wedding? " She couldn't almost finish her sentence as her tears were starting to gather around.
"Do you want me to take revenge? "
