Chapter 34: Advice from the pregnant woman
It’s a hectic day for Dr. Kriza in her clinic because of the patients continuing to come to her clinic. Her schedule is full and there is no break time on it. And the worst matter is Giselle will come to the clinic. And she didn’t say to her what time she would arrive.
” My neck already hurts” She groaned as she massaged her neck while stretching the back of her neck.
Dr. Kriza heard a 3 knock on her door. ” The patient is already here” She mumbled as she stopped massaging her neck and sat up properly.
” Come in!” Dr. Kriza loudly said as she got the next patient document on the side of the table.
” Excuse me Doc but Mrs. Ferros cannot attend her appointment. There’s some emergency happening to her house ” Annie, Dr. Kriza’s nurse announced that she left a deep sigh.
” Okay, I understand. Thank you!” She said as she put the documents under her table. Dr. Kriza looks again at Annie who is still standing in the doorway.
” Do you have anything to say?” Dr. Kriza asks as she leaned back on her swivel chair.
” Ahmm… Yes! Your husband is here” Annie said awkwardly. Dr. Kriza just sighs as she gestures her hands a sign to let Rolando come in. In her office.
Dr. Kriza just boredly watched her husband walking inside her office. He was carrying boxes of gifts. Rolando carefully put down the boxes on the floor.
” I’m giving back this gift to you, I don’t need it and I don’t like it” Rolando coldly said. Dr. Kriza didn’t show any emotion on her face as she was tired of what’s happening in her life. In their married life. Few days ago something happened between the two that changed the mind of Dr. Kriza in terms of fixing their marriage. She already got what she wants and beside that she came to realize that you can’t make a man stay if he doesn’t want to. Especially, If he already gives his reason to leave him.
” Okay, And then about my things that I put into your house. Just sent it back to my condo. ” Dr. Kriza said as she got a mint candy in her bowl of sweets that was located on her table and opened it.
” Since you are here, I want you to sign this document. I’m going to sell the house that Xander gave us for our wedding” Dr. Kriza said as she put the mint candy in her mouth. She reached her shoulder bag and got the folder that contained the paper for selling the house.
” Just signed it, ” Dr. Kriza said as she opened the folder and showed it to Rolando.
Rolando quietly walked towards Dr. Kriza, got the fountain pen from his pocket and immediately signed the documents. ” And in terms of our annulment, I already talked to an attorney and he said that he will make it faster ” Dr. Kriza said as she looked at the face of Rolando who was now putting the fountain pen back in his pocket.
” Okay, I understand,” Rolando answered.
Dr. Kriza just nodded her head as she get her next patient document.
” If you are done, You can go now ” Dr. Kriza muttered as she read her patient document.
Rolando just looks at Dr. Kriza with his stoic face. He knows that this will be their last time to meet as a husband and wife because next time they will meet as a two person who is done to each other.
” Goodbye, ” Rolando emotionless said. He looks at her, And she is not looking at him to send him off. It’s truly the end for the both of them. Rolando turned his back as he silently left the room. The time that Rolando closes the door is the time when Dr. Kriza lifts her head and looks blankly at the door.
Days ago, Rolando and her met at the house that Xander gave to them. And that is the time when she confronted him, she hurt him, she yelled at him. She shows her frustration about their relationship. But he didn’t do anything about it. He didn’t give her a reason and answered why he was treating her like that.
But on that day, All the answers that she has been longing for years were answered. And it’s enough for her to let go of him and go on for her life. After all, she gets what she needs from him. Even though she loves her, She can’t turn a blind eye to all the treatment that she receives from him. A memory from him is enough for her to continue in life. A remembrance from their first and last time that she feels they become one.
Dr. Kriza just left a deep sigh as she shook her head to get rid of him.
” I need a long vacation after this sh*t!” She muttered as she closed her eyes and relaxed her body. She had a thirty hour break because her patient didn’t show up for her appointment due to an emergency.
She closes her eyes as she will take a power nap. She feels that all her energy drained because of Ronaldo. He suddenly showed up in her clinic and gave back all the gifts she gave to him. And Ronaldo has a long way to go to give back all the things she gave to him. And lucky for her, She doesn’t have anything to give back to him. Because from the start he didn’t give any gift to her. Even on their wedding day. The wedding ring was thrown back to Ronaldo in the middle of their confrontation.
Before, She can’t imagine herself doing that in front of Ronaldo. But it’s all changed because of Giselle. It all happened on the first visit of Giselle to her clinic to do a full body check-up on her. After the body check-up Giselle invited Dr. Kriza to have a drink with her. For them to know each other and to have a good connection in the near future. At first, Dr. Kriza doesn’t want to go but Giselle is good at persuading people. And on that night, Dr. Kriza drank all her out to the point that she told all the things to Giselle. Mostly, Her love stories and how she chased Ronaldo and wanted him for her. On the other day, When she woke up she saw Giselle preparing herself to leave her condo and before she left she left a message for her. That she will remember for the rest of her life.
‘ Chasing a man is not suitable for you, As a successful woman who wants to prove herself in her family. Get what you really want from him and then dump him ‘
That is the exact words that Giselle left for Dr. Kriza, That led her to leave Rolando and start a new life without him. After all, she already gets what she wants.
What she really wants from the start.
A feeling that he loves her, Even if just for a day. And she was already content wholeheartedly. At the start it was hard but day by day, She slowly learned to accept that his world will still turn even without her. She realizes that she is the only one who delusions herself to a man who never sees her as a woman.
” Oh, Well. It’s time to work again” She muttered before she opened her eyes and sat properly. She only takes a nap for 5 minutes. Even though her patient will be here in 20 minutes. It’s better to be prepared than never. That is what she learned from her experience as an obgyn.
” I really want to go home”
Dr. Kriza entertained all the patients until the last one. It was tiring but it’s fulfilling at the end. Her schedule for the next few days will not be hectic and aside from that she can go home.
No, She still can’t go home.
She still has one patient left and that is Giselle.
” Dr. Kriza, Miss. Giselle is here” Annie announced after knocking at the door 3 times.
” Please, Let her in. I want to finish this” She said in her tired voice.
” Okay, Doc” Annie obediently said as she let Giselle in the office of Dr. Kriza.
” Look, Wasted. I see” Giselle said as she sat down at the wooden chair.
” I know, Sigh, Now let’s start the check-up. You said on the phone that you take PT the day before the party. Am I right?” Dr. Kriza asks, and Giselle nods.
“And it’s positive. So, now. Let’s look if there’s a real baby in your tummy” Dr. Kriza bluntly said as she stood up and guided Giselle in her inner part of her clinic. She helps Giselle to lay down on Maternity bed.
” Okay, I will just open and operate it” Dr. Kriza said as she opened the equipment that she will use for checking Giselle.
Dr. Kriza sprays her hands with alcohol before putting on medical gloves. She gets the gel as she carefully pulls out the end of Giselle’s shirt and put it carefully on her belly.
” It’s cold,” She said while putting the gel on her belly.
” Okay, now. let’s have a look inside your tummy” She muttered as she started to put the device over her stomach.
” Woah, There is a small bubble right here. It looks like you are pregnant. But we still can’t be sure. You need to come back after the 2nd week to see if you are really pregnant. For now, It was hard to see if this little bubble was your baby and we couldn’t also detect the baby’s heartbeat at that time” She explained.
” This small bubble is your embryo, Days from now you will experience pregnancy symptoms. The baby is in his or her 2 weeks. ” She added before she got off the equipment and carefully put it on the side.
” After 14 days, Don’t forget to come back. To see if it has a heartbeat. Don’t expect anything for now. Just take care of yourself and body” Dr. Kriza said as she helped Giselle to get up from the maternity bed.
” I understand, ” Giselle answered as she got out of bed.
” Actually, We can learn easily if you are really pregnant. Let’s do a blood test” Dr. Kriza immediately said. She shortly forgot the blood test because of Ronaldo.
” No, Thanks. I hate blood” Giselle bluntly said before she walked outwards to the inner part of Dr. Kriza’s office.
” Hate blood? ” Dr. Kriza repeated as she followed Giselle back to her office.
” Then, Go back after 14 days and that is 2 weeks from now on,” Dr. Kriza said as she sat down on her swivel chair.Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
” How is your first day in that mansion?” Dr. Kriza asks.
” Fine, I’m okay ” Giselle answered, which made Dr. Kriza smirks.
” Did you already see her ?” Dr. Kriza asks, which makes Giselle look at her with an evil grin.
” Who?” Giselle asks like an innocent person.
” Ha! The Angel, The wife of that 2 faces j*rk ”
” Chantal ” Giselle muttered.
” The Angel and the Goddess have already met. Before the family dinner the two of you talk of the town. They are betting who will be the Queen of the Monteverde’s. ” Dr. Kriza said out of irritation.
” That Witch! already stable her standing in High society. ” She added as she looked at Giselle who was now not affected by what she was saying.
” You have a long way to go, To defeat that woman. But lucky for you, Your marriage will only last long until the child is born” Dr. Kriza as she sat properly.
” You will go away from the Monteverde’s, I’m jealous of you. While me, Forever under the monitor of my b*stard cousin and my family ” Dr. Kriza said that makes Giselle take interest in it.
” Why don’t you go away? You’re a doctor, You can do anything about it ” Giselle straightly said that makes Dr. Kriza chuckled.
” Yes, I am a doctor but my work doesn’t match the power of that family. Sometimes, I want to vanish and show that I am dead to have a new life somewhere far away from them. But that’s impossible. The only way to escape from them is death” She helplessly said as she buried her face on the table.
” Then die” She casually said as she looked down at Dr. Kriza who is still burying her face on the table.
” Ha. Ha. Ha. So funny” Dr. Kriza said out of sarcasm.
” I’m serious ” Giselle bluntly said that made her immediately look at Giselle’s face. She thought that she was just playing with her. But she saw in her face that she is serious and she also suddenly remembered that Giselle doesn’t have a tickle bone in her body.
” I still want to live, ” She answered.
Giselle just smirks as she put her right hand index finger in her lips.
” Who says you will really die? ” She said in a serious tone but in the hearing of Dr. Kriza is a sexy seductive stone. She gulped as she took a deep breath and looked at Giselle intently.
” I already tried it. But I didn’t succeed, ” She answered. Her feelings right now are a mix of hope, fear and doubts. Since the incidents happened when she was a child. She dreamed of moving away from her family. She studied hard and gave up the last name of Monteverde but all of her effort was wasted. Because until the end she is still in the grasp of her family.
” Then try it again, I know the feeling of being in a cage. You wanted to do something, But you are chained to do that. You wanted to be free but you are chained by them. ” She said that makes Dr. Kriza harshly bite her lips. That is all what she felt until now, Even if she was knowingly an adult and successful doctor. It’s still nonsense because she is not free from their eyes.
” How will you do it?” She asks out of desperation that makes Giselle giggle.
” No, How will you do it?” Giselle said as she corrected the sentence of Dr. Kriza.
” As I said, You will only do it. And I will tell you step by step to be free from them. But first, You need to do something for me” Giselle said in her low tone sultry voice.
” You just need to do it for me. Kriza “
