~I will eat forbidden apple a million times~

As soon as the doctor led him to the ward where Mrs. Fanny was, he left them so they could have some privacy together.

Noticing the figure drifting nearer to her, Mrs. Fanny turned her back and cast her gaze on the wall, with no interest whatsoever to discuss anything with Ken. She least expected anything that resembled Ken to be at her side right now and although she knew he was going to come for her, she wanted to put him in the box of having respect and loyalty for her.

But it was too late now; she had made up her mind to move on and that was it; there was no stopping her. She had been destined to be fated to two assholes that called themselves men: her husband Mr. Fanny who lied to her all along and Ken who deceived her with his marriage condition. To an extent she wondered how she got to know these men and why she should give either of them a second chance to prove their love for her. LOVE. If indeed that word existed she couldn’t tell. Certainly in her world love didn’t exist but in the world of more than a handful of people love ruled and dominated. It was that she had been fated to fall out of love, and in her next world she would rather remain lovelorn or die loving just herself.

Ken was at her edge now, and about touching her to draw her attention Kate and Eva barged in like thunder.

Eva barked, “What the healthy fuck is this cheap lawyer doing in this ward, uh?”

“Leave this minute, Ken!” Kate commanded and started advancing to him with her hand raised to hit him, but Eva stopped her by holding her arms.

“Hold on, sweetie, just hold on you don’t have to hit the fragile swine,” Eva snapped and struggled to pull Kate from advancing further.

“What is wrong with you both?” Ken queried. “I am not answerable to either of you for whatsoever and you have no right to barge in on us.”

Mrs. Fanny shot a dark stare at him just then. “Us?” she returned the question to him, shooting her frown at him and winking at Kate and Eva. “There is no us, Ken,” she added, almost wailing. She tilted her face over to Kate and Eva, “You two leave us now,” she pointed at Kate and Eva. And a tear trickled down her cheeks .

Ken kept a long face, breathing uneasily and felt itches of guilt all over his body.

Kate’s lips were about moving, almost making a comment, when Mrs. fanny interrupted, “No more words from you, Kate. You ceased to be my daughter a long time ago. I don’t need your care anymore. You and your bitch should leave my presence this minute, else I will call the cops on you,” she threatened and grabbed her phone.

About dialing 911, Kate breathed, “Fine. Good riddance. We will leave. But you know what this day I promise you an eye for an eye. Someday you are going to come begging me and dad and I will remind you of your iniquities,” she pointed at her and then Ken. “Let us go, baby,” she said to Eva, clicked her hand to hers and dragged her along.

When they got to the door, she shot one last threatening stare at them and banged the door.

Mrs. Fanny resumed a heart drenching wailing that shook her body greatly. Ken was lost about what to do – whether to drift to her edge and pet her or to remain at his spot and save himself some slap, which might come from her. He wanted to keep to himself until she started wailing at the top her voice as though she wanted him to do something – to draw nearer and pet her.

“Don’t touch me!” she flared up once Ken made an attempt to touch her shoulders.

“You know your condition, crying is the least thing you need right now.” Ken washed her with those words and further more. “I am a fool. I am guilty of anything you accuse me of. I know you deserve a better man and I have been worse than an infidel for thinking you will pass through the fire expecting not to burn…”

“Just keep shut!” she snapped at him, with her red eyes that shone with sadness and her nostrils that welled with phlegm. “Is it because I didn’t walk you out like I did to Kate and her bitch that is why you have the nerves to touch me.”

Ken’s face squeezed as nylon bag that was thrown into fire; he wished he had the grace to shed tears just to make her believe he still felt a thing for her ; that he was so fond of her, which might never encourage their separation.

“I can’t do without you, baby,” he said coldly, still keeping his distance as he noticed her hands tremble in anxiety; as though they were in dire need of a cheek to slap. “Saying I am sorry is just nothing compared to my mistakes, and if you give me a second chance, I promise to melt your snow with my bare foot, I promise, baby,”

“Fuck you, Ken, I don’t need you anymore. You are here now because you heard I am pregnant for you. Just go. Let me be,” Mrs. Fanny resumed wailing heavily with her palms covering her drawn face.

And the next moment she removed her hands from her face, she was staring at Ken, who was on his knees, with a diamond ring, stretched out to her.

“Marry me. I want you to be the reason I stay alive, I want you to be the Eve in my garden. For your sake I will eat forbidden apple a million times. Please don’t say no,” Ken said, shooting his expectant face into her reddened eyes.

She rubbed her nose. She was dumbfounded. She only could cover her mouth with her palms before she smiled up and said, “Yes yes..oh my goose.” She smiled-cried and gave him her finger to put the ring.

Without much hesitation, Ken put the ring on her finger and they smiled before they hugged each other radically for what seemed to be forever.

I just hope this pregnancy is mine; Ken said in his mind while he hugged her.

Hmmm, I hope this pregnancy is his and not Teddy’s: Mrs. Fanny said in her mind also.

The story just unfolded…
