186 Reveal Each Other

Kai took Kalea’s hand carefully. Kalea did not know where he would take her at this time of night. They passed through tall grasses and even rocks. Kalea was confused, what did Kai want to show her when as long as they walked there was nothing interesting and creepy enough. There was only the light from the flashlight Kai carried.

“Kai, is the place still far?” Kalea asked impatiently.

“It’ll be a while, are you tired already?”

“A little.” Kalea frowned in confusion when Kai stopped walking and turned back.

“Do you want me to carry you?”

“Eh? No need! I can still walk,” Kalea refused as delicately as possible, she did not want to inconvenience the man and what if Kai noticed her large belly compared to Kalea’s overall body that was not fat.

Kai did not want to insist, he returned to walking while still holding Kalea’s hand. “Be patient for a while longer, okay?” Kai said soothingly, he gently stroked the back of Kalea’s hand with his thumb.

Until finally, they were in a vast expanse of rumut with many fireflies and stars scattered in the sky. The dark sky became beautiful because of the light from the stars. Kalea was mesmerized, she could not take her eyes off the beautiful sight she was seeing.

“Beautiful, isn’t it?” Kai exclaimed with a wide, sweet smile as usual. Kalea nodded, slowly a smile graced her beautiful face.

.....

“Yeah, it’s very beautiful,” Kalea replied, making Kai even more mesmerized by her. Kai’s heart was beating fast, his blood rushing violently, Kalea’s beautiful face when she smiled was really many times her level of beauty. It felt like Kai could not hold back this feeling of love anymore.

Kai deliberately took Kalea to this place full of stars because he wanted the girl to cheer up again. Kai did not know what made Kalea suddenly silent and immediately went to the room, but he just wanted to make Kalea feel better.

“This has been my favorite place since I was a kid, but I’ve never brought anyone here. Because it’s so special,” Kai said as he sat down on the green grass. He even prepared a rectangular white cloth for Kalea to sit on. The girl was a little impressed, Kai really cared about her. She sat on the cloth provided by the man with the scarlet hair.

“Special? Then why did you invite me here?” Kalea asked, her gaze more focused on the fireflies that flew here and there making the place shine so beautifully.

“I promised myself to bring the one I love here,” Kai replied smoothly.

“Oh, is that so? How romantic,”Kalea praised, who had not really realized what the man had said. Until finally she fell silent, digesting the words spoken by Kai. Slowly Kalea turned to Kai with a surprised expression. “Eh?”

The serious look in Kai’s eyes made Kalea think that the man was not joking at all. Kai exhaled his breath, trying to calm down and control himself because right now he was really confessing his feelings to Kalea. “I love you, Lea. With all the times we’ve been together, even on the first day we met, I’ve been mesmerized by you,” Kai said looking very tense but the blush on his cheeks made him look quite adorable as he expressed his love.

Kalea was still in dreamland. Kai liked her? No, actually she was not stupid either. Several times Kalea saw Kai who often blushed and stole the opportunity to touch her. However, in terms of attention, Kalea thought that Kai was indeed a man who was affectionate to anyone, especially to her as a stranger and from the middle of nowhere.

“Why do you like me?” Kalea asked.

“A lot. You’re too worthy to be loved. Everything about you, I love it,” Kai replied still with a serious look in his eyes that did not move anywhere but to stare at Kalea’s hazel bead. “From the way you behave, you’re the one who really tries hard in doing anything, but sometimes I worry that you’re pushing yourself too hard, which makes me want to take care of you, Lea. Maybe at first glance you look cold and indifferent, but after getting to know you well, you’re very warm and polite. I love you in every way, no matter what it is,” he continued at length with his cheeks growing red with embarrassment. It was unexpected that he actually explained in detail why he liked Kalea.

It would be a lie if Kalea did not feel happy. There was a man who liked her as genuinely as Kai. Although Kalea also doubted whether the feeling of love would remain if she knew what really happened to her. However, Kalea really appreciated that feeling. The brunette girl smiled warmly, then said, “Thank you, Kai. I never thought there would be a guy who loves me.”

“Of course there is, you’re really attractive!”

Kalea chuckled softly, the smile slowly fading into a sad one. She looked down slightly as she played with her delicate fingers. It made Kai confused and worried if any of his words offended Kalea.

“Lea-”

“I’m pregnant, Kai.”

Kai’s eyes rounded, speechless in shock at Kalea’s statement. Kalea turned back to look at Kai with a serious look on her face.

“Yo–you pregnant?” Kai asked again, worried that his sense of hearing was not working properly and that he might have misheard.

Kalea nodded, she took Kai’s hand and led him to touch her stomach. Kai seemed to be lost for words, he could feel Kalea’s stomach which was quite large and even coincidentally the baby in Kalea’s womb was kicking.

Kalea was not joking at all with her words.

“How many months is it?” Kai asked, that’s all that came out of his mouth. Still not expecting what happened. He pulled his hand away from Kalea’s stomach.

“Almost five months,” the girl replied.

Kai was increasingly unable to comment. No wonder Kalea had always worn oversized clothes, tired easily and other signs of pregnancy in a pregnant woman. However, Kai had never thought in that direction.

Noticing Kai’s attitude that was so shocked at the fact, Kalea could only smile slightly. She already knew that this was the kind of response she would see. Kalea did not expect much. “Sorry. I just told you this. Actually, I was also looking for the right moment to tell you about my situation,” Kalea said as she gently stroked her stomach.

“No, Lea. There’s actually still a lot I don’t understand here.”

“I know. You can ask me now.”

“Sorry if I’m asking too personal questions. But, where is the man who got you pregnant?” Kai asked.

“He’s there, busy with his own world,” Kalea replied casually. For some reason Kai could not bear to look at Kalea who kept smiling even though she knew that the girl was forcing herself to look fine. “He didn’t love me from the start. I was the only one who hoped for him. That’s why I decided to go far away to keep my sanity,” Kalea continued.

“Huh? How could-”

“Of course he can. I’m not as good and great a woman as you say, Kai. Because that guy didn’t reciprocate my feelings at all,” Kalea cut in with a low laugh that only made it look more pathetic. “No, it’s not like that. We didn’t have a special relationship from the start. It was all because of the contract.”

Either because of the atmosphere, or the feelings that Kalea had been holding back for a long time, made her tell Kai everything that happened. No tears were shed, as if all her tears had been drained. Kai, on the other hand, really did not expect Kalea’s life journey to be so hard. He could not bear it, but the story Kalea told him made him want to take care of her even more.

“So, after you know the fact that I’m pregnant, will you still love me? Haha, no way-” Kalea did not continue her words because she was surprised when Kai suddenly hugged her. “...Kai?”

“I love you even more,” Kai replied as he tightened his hug, still careful not to hurt Kalea and the baby. “I don’t mind that you’re pregnant. You made the right decision, Lea. Leaving that jerk and coming to this village. We can live together here, I’ll be responsible for the baby. We can have a wedding, whatever you want.”

Kalea’s nether-eyes rounded, not expecting a man to say something so warm and comforting to her. The words she had wanted to hear from Arthur came from the mouth of Kai, a man she had only known for a short time.

Kalea’s vision became blurry as tears welled up in her eyes. She returned Kai’s hug, closing her eyes which made the tears flow down her cheeks.

“Thank you, Kai.”

This was the kind of life she wanted. Is this what it feels like to be loved by someone? Kalea would not lie if she was happy to hear Kai’s words. Although sometimes the shadow of Arthur still haunted her, and if it was Arthur who said something like this to her.
