C2 Chapter 1: About The Baby

Alexus Point of View :

"Good morning Ma," I greeted my mother as I entered the kitchen to have my breakfast. I also kissed her on her cheeks.

"Good morning too Hijo, how's your sleep?"

"It's good," I answered sparingly.

"Good morning Pa," I greeted Papa who was busy reading.

"Good morning," Dad also greeted me back without taking his eyes off the newspaper he was holding.

"Let's eat honey, just continue reading later." Dad quickly obeyed what mama said.

"Alexus, we talked to your Dad and if you can give us a grandson--"

* Cough / cough *

I coughed one after another after choking on the coffee I was drinking.

"Are you okay son?"

"Careful son!"

"Ma! Pa! What are you talking about? I almost died here oh!" I can't believe I told them.

"Dead right now?"

"Ma naman!"

"We are serious son, we are not tolerating your mother anymore. We want a grandchild soon."

They seem to be serious about what they are asking to me. But how can I do that if my girlfriend Nicole is not ready to marry me? I already proposed to her 3 times, but she said she was not ready yet and I could do nothing but wait until she was ready.

"Mom, Dad, you know Nicole is busy. Look, my girlfriend is an international model. Even if we get married we will not be able to give you a child,"

"That's our point son, if she doesn't want to marry you, then find someone who's ready to settle with you."

"Ma, stop it! You sounds like it's easy? I love Nicole and I'm willing to wait for her, no matter how long it takes."

"Alexus, do you hear yourself? Nicole is not a material wife, that woman is full of ambition. You have nothing to expect from her."

"Well, I'm old enough. I know what I am doing. I'll wait for Nicole, she's the only woman I want to be the mother of my future child."

I don't want to go any further where my parents and I talked about nothing. So before I could utter a word I quickly stood up at the dining table.

"Where are you going?" Mom stopped me.

"I need myself to cool down,"

"Your father and I are serious about this Alexus. Whether like it or not, you will give us a grandson. We are giving you the opportunity to find a woman who is willing to give you that.

I clenched my two fists because of mama's threatening voice. It seems like I have no choice but to allow Nicole to marry me so that we can make .. ugh! Damn that baby!

"Or else, your Dad and I will force you to marry the daughter of his comparator."

Am I going to marry the child of her comparator? Which, the female caterpillar? Fvcking no!

"No! You will not do that to me!"

"Try us son,"

What kind of soul merged with my parents' body to ask me grandchild right away? Fvck this life!

I went straight to the bar owned by my friend Dylan to think.

"What are you doing here man? In this hour are you at the bar? Woah!" I just looked at Dylan seriously. I think he knows I have a big problem.

"Nice! Are you here too? Hahaha we are friends oh!" Calvin, on the other hand, who is happy with the troops, seems to be teasing his kind of introductory greeting.

"So what's the problem? You and Nicole are fighting?" Felix, on the other hand, is serious about the troop. He is the one who has nothing to worry about as long as what he wants to say, he will really say.

We are four friends and we are all millionaires. Apart from our rich parents, we also have our own businesses in different parts of the country. When we get together it seems like we are just normal people. You will not notice that we are full of wealth because we are not showy people like others with only a few outlets who are immediately arrogant.

What businesses do we run? Next you just find out it's tiring to tell a story especially since I still have a big problem.

"Nope, it's not about me and Nicole." I answer Felix's question.

"Your parents?" Calvin asked.

"Yap."

"Why, what happened?" Dylan.

"They want a grandchild," I said frustrated.

Dylan and Calvin started laughing like crazy!

"Seriously as in Baby?"

"Are you guys my friend?" They quickly became serious after I covered my sharp eyes with them.

"Why are their aunts and uncles still fighting now where Nicole just renewed her contract with Italy, right?"

"Yeah, maybe they really don't want Nicole for you?"

"You two stop when you see that the person is already in trouble, you will still be on fire!"

See? Felix is

just my friend of the three of them. He is the only one who has matured mind compared to the two.

"What are you up to?"

"I know Nicole, no matter how I convince her, she will not allow it, especially when it comes to pregnancy,"

"By the way, why don't you look for a woman who can get pregnant for you and Nicole?"

"How?"

"With money."

"What do you mean?" I clarify to Dylan.

"Find a woman who you can pay to get pregnant, then after she gave birth you will take the baby and treat it like you and Nicole's child."

"Somehow Dylan has contributed sensibly," Felix said laughing. The madman scored pogi points.

"Who else would allow such a thing?" Calvin opposed Dylan.

"As far as money is concerned, nothing will stop there Calvin," Dylan defended his suggestion.

"I will choose the woman, so that you can challenge Alexus, the first woman to enter that door is the one you will approach for the problem you are involved in." I looked at Felix who was just seriously staring at the bar door.

We waited for about half an hour for the first woman to enter the bar before finally someone entered.

"Yown!"

Calvin reacted immediately when our wait was finally over.

"Come closer," I almost sank into the cement after Dylan pushed me.

"Opps, sorry for the speed!"

I adjusted the collar of the shirt I was wearing before walking closer to the woman. Based on its appearance, this bar is not really its purpose. She was wearing formal attire and carrying a brown envelope. It looks like she just got lost here.

"You don't have free water? I'm really thirsty,"

"There really is no ma'am, this is not a restaurant ma'am."

"Ah is that so? All right thank you,"

I do not know if I will laugh or be amazed at her ignorance. I just found myself following her.

Because she was in a hurry to take a taxi, she did not realize that she drop the brown envelope she was holding earlier.

I quickly picked it up and I smiled after I confirmed that it's her resume, the content of that envelope. That is all her information is contained.
