196 Pregnancy Tes (1/2)

”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 mygreatest 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 wentshopping 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 ownfashion 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 startand stand up on her own.After this,she would completely get away from him andfree 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 legaland rightful owner.

It was her fault after all. It was she who left. And she foolishly thought that he could wait until forever.
