189 He Comes

“Already done!”

“Thank you.”

“Hope you like it.”

Kalea put down the magazine she had been reading, her gaze now focused on the new look. The long brunette hair had now changed. Her hair was now shoulder-length with a slight touch of volume with a blow-dry technique. It looked more mature and simple, which suited Kalea perfectly. The girl smiled sweetly, she also liked her new look.

After her conversation with Kai, Kalea decided to have a gynecological checkup in the city because she was still not ready for the villagers to know about her pregnancy. And why Kalea cut her hair at the salon instead of with Kai was because they were there at once and the salon was not that far from the midwife clinic. Maybe next time, Kalea will try to give her hair to Kai when it’s long again.

“I like it, thank you again,” Kalea said to the hairstylist. After that, she stood up from her sweet seat, approaching Kai who was sleeping because he was waiting for too long.

Kalea patted Kai’s shoulder lightly, the man immediately woke up although a little surprised. Kai rubbed his eyes, still gathering his life. He looked up at Kalea with a look that was not really clear. The man blinked several times.

“Is this an angel?” Kai chuckled, making Kalea smile to hold back her laughter.

“It’s me, Kai. I’m done with my haircut,” Kalea replied, which instantly brought Kai to his full senses. The man got up from his seat, still looking at Kalea in awe. Struck by the beauty of the brunette girl. “What do you think, is it weird?”

.....

“No, not at all. You’re charming, always charming,” Kai replied, his emerald eyes seemingly unable to look away. Kalea smiled, it would be a lie if she did not blush at Kai’s compliment.

Kalea was a little surprised when Kai took her hand out of the salon. Even Kai opened the car door for her, really treating Kalea so considerate and quite romantic for the girl. Kalea felt as if her stomach was tickled, a little ticklish but she felt comfortable.

As for the baby, thank God it was fine. Growing well without any shortcomings for now because Kalea had maintained her diet despite being exhausted from work several times.

“Lea, you better stop working at the tavern. Your belly will get bigger and you’ll get tired more easily, right? I’m afraid something will happen to you later,” Kai said as he drove the car back to the village.

“Ah, but I still feel strong. I’m fine-”

“Don’t push it, Lea. Don’t you love your baby?” Kai asked as he glanced at the girl. Kalea was silent for a moment, thinking about what the man with the scarlet hair had said.

Slowly, Kalea nodded her head. “But let me work for a week, I’ll also talk to Robby later.”

Kai sighed softly and nodded. “Alright.”

After traveling for almost two hours, they finally reached the village. Kai dropped the girl off in front of the house, while he had to go back to the garden to work with Owen. Kalea waved goodbye to Kai’s car that was getting further and further away from her sight. And after that, she went inside the house. Kai told her to rest more for the baby’s health.

Kalea spent the day talking with Ilene. About music, novels, and anything else they could talk about. Kalea felt like she had a real sister because Ilene was really nice. However, she was a little sad that the woman could only stay in bed without being able to experience the outside world anymore.

“Lea,” Ilene called as she closed her novel. Kalea, who had been busy looking at the clear sky, turned to Ilene.

“Yes?”

“Can I ask you something?”

“Hm? Sure. What is it?”

“What kind of man do you think Kai is?” Ilene asked, taking Kalea by surprise. Suddenly asked like this, Kalea was confused about how to answer. And did Kai tell her about their conversation back then? Kalea bit her lower lip, while Ilene was still waiting for Kalea’s answer.

“He’s a good guy. Attentive and can make anyone comfortable around him. Kai is also a polite guy. Why are you suddenly asking me that?” Kalea asked back.

Ilene smiled slightly and looked down. Looking at her thinning hands. “I’m very proud to have a brother like him. He is also a loving person and will help anyone in need. I believe he will always be surrounded by many good people. Because of that, I don’t think I’ll be worried about leaving him behind.”

Kalea’s forehead wrinkled, feeling odd about the words coming out of Ilene’s mouth. “Sis, what do you mean?”

Ilene’s smile grew sweeter, and she shook her head lightly. The woman took Kalea’s hand, holding it tenderly. Kalea could feel the warmth of Ilene’s hand, and how weak the woman was. “Lea, I want you to be with Kai. I’ve never seen Kai this happy. After you came, Kai is not as lonely as he used to be.”

A hopeful look in her eyes, it seemed Ilene really wanted Kalea to be with Kai for a long time. Kalea smiled, returned Ilene’s hand, and said, “You have to get better, Sis. So we can be together, and Kai won’t be lonely. I’m just a stranger here, Kai is desperate for your recovery.” 𝑓re𝘦𝔀𝗲𝘣𝘯𝘰νℯ𝒍.c𝗼ｍ

Ilene bit her lower lip, holding back the tears that gradually welled up in her eyes. She exhaled heavily, it would be a lie to say that she had no problem leaving Kai alone. She also wanted to heal and to be with her brother again. However, with her physical condition only getting worse and will continue to trouble Kai, Ilene does not want to be like that.

Kalea seemed to hear a knock on the door and it was very small.

“Sis, there seems to be someone in front of the house. I’ll go there first, okay?” Kalea excused herself and immediately got a nod of the head from Ilene. Kalea smiled and gently stroked the woman’s shoulder. “Don’t be sad. Kai and I are right beside you.”

And after that, Kalea went out of Ilene’s room to the front door. There was no way it was Kai, because he would have gone straight inside. It could have been Owen or someone else who needed to talk to the man with scarlet hair. Without any suspicion, Kalea turned the teak door knob. A well-built man dressed in a neat shirt and material pants appeared. The man had his back to her, his hands stuffed into his pants pockets.

Kalea looked at the man from bottom to top, she was already feeling bad and when the figure turned around, Kalea’s eyes rounded perfectly. What she feared happened, that man was-

Arthur.

Her tongue seemed to be paralyzed, unable to utter a single word. Even when Arthur walked up to her. Kalea backed away slowly with fear and hate mixed together.

“Lea, I finally found you. All this time I’ve been looking for-”

“What are you doing here? Why do you know my position?” Kalea cut in, causing Arthur’s steps to stop instantly.

“I’ve been looking all over for you, why did you suddenly disappear? Didn’t even tell Zeline,” Arthur retorted with a hurt look on his face. Kalea was disgusted, she should have been in that position. Arthur was playing dumb and Kalea hated it.

“Why would I tell you? Zeline would have leaked it to you anyway, and it would have been a waste for me to leave your life. So now go away,” Kalea urged, trying her best to look normal, though her tone of voice was a little shaky.

“What did you leave my life for? Why are you suddenly like this, Lea? What did I do wrong?” Arthur asked again approaching Kalea but the girl retreated further away. “Lea, didn’t I say that I would take responsibility for the baby?”

Kalea smiled lightly, it was funny to hear such nonsense from Arthur’s mouth. In fact, it seemed like everything the man said was never serious and that anything was trivial. “I don’t need your responsibility. I can take care of this baby by myself. So now go away, Arthur!” Kalea snapped at the end as she pointed to the fence gate.

Arthur really could not believe it. After all this time he had been looking for Kalea, thinking about how he felt about the girl in front of him right now. And this is what he got? What exactly was going on?

“Lea, please explain to me first exactly why you are being like this to me? What did I do wrong?” Arthur pleaded trying to grab Kalea’s hand but the girl quickly brushed him off with a disgusted look. “You can’t take care of that child alone, because it’s my child too.”

“Arthur, shouldn’t you be happy that I’m not interfering with your life anymore?”

“What? Since when did I think-”

“Your burden is less, right? You still want to play with many women until you’re satisfied, right? And if I’m still by your side, I’m only holding you back!” Kalea scolded with her breath catching as the emotions that had been pent up finally exploded. Kalea looked down, and it was not long before a low chuckle could be heard from the girl. “You’ll eventually leave me after this baby is born, right? What difference does it make now? You just don’t want to seem like a jerk, Arthur.”

Arthur’s nether-eyes rounded, he could not say anything. All of Kalea’s words at this time he continued to digest, remembering what he had done wrong to his sugar baby.

“Lea, I’m sorry. I admit my mistake, so please-”

“Don’t touch me, you bastard!” Kalea snapped again.

“Lea? What’s going on?” The heavy, distinctive voice that Kalea recognized came from the side. Kai was there with a confused look.
