Convinced Blanca
Blanca immediately put down her phone and waited there. A nurse-who had been chasing her earlier-called Blanca.
“Miss!” The call made Blanca turn around and find a nurse behind her.
“Where are you going, Miss? After three more numbers are called, it’s your turn.” She asked.
“I want to get some fresh air. I feel a bit cramped and nauseous inside,” said Blanca.
“But don’t go far, Miss! You can sit nearby. I’m afraid you won’t hear when you call later,” said the nurse.
“Okay. I’ll go there later.”
“Just take it easy! I won’t be here for a long time. I’ll just be here until the congestion and nausea go away.”
“Well, if that’s the case, okay. I’ll wait for you there.” The nurse left while Blanca was still there waiting for fifteen minutes.
Blanca hoped in her heart. “Hopefully my fifteen minutes of waiting won’t be in vain!”

Blanca waited there while occasionally looking at the clock on her phone. She really hoped that her waiting would not be in vain.
Luckily, that was true. After ten minutes of waiting there, Lorenzo arrived with his car in the parking
Lorenzo immediately looked for an empty place while his eyes searched for where Blanca was. Not long after, he found Blanca in front of him.
He immediately parked his car in the closest spot near Blanca to make it easier for her to leave the clinic. Then he took off his seatbelt and got out of the car.
He immediately walked towards Blanca while calling out her name. “Blanca!”
The call made Blanca turn her head and find Lorenzo, who looked very tired. His breathing was ragged.
His heart was pounding wildly. Sweat dripped down his body and face until his clothes were wet.
“Blanca!” called Lorenzo again breathlessly towards Blanca.
Lorenzo looked left and right. He felt the situation was not safe at that time.
Because of that, he immediately asked Blanca to talk in the car. “Let’s talk in the car!”
“In the car? What do you want to do?” asked Blanca, confused.
“Do you want to ask me for having sex again?” asked Blanca with a lot of emotion.
“I don’t want to have sex with you anymore!” Blanca was angry.
“That’s not about it. I want to talk to you alone there.” Lorenzo explained his purpose.
“Then why don’t we talk here?” Blanca asked again. She was confused because, for her, she could talk alone with Lorenzo in that place.
“It’s not safe to talk about our child in a public place like this. A lot of people are paying attention to us now, Blanca.” Lorenzo answered.
“Look!” Lorenzo pointed to the people around them who had been watching them earlier, and Blanca saw many eyes watching them at that time.
“A lot of people are watching us now. So let’s talk in the car!” Lorenzo invited.
Blanca nodded her head. Then, they went to Lorenzo’s car.
In front of Lorenzo’s car, Lorenzo immediately opened the car door, and they got into the car.
Then he closed the car door. He didn’t want anyone knows about their topic conversation.
Blanca’s mouth closed tightly. She didn’t want to say a word at all.
Lorenzo immediately stroked Blanca’s hair and kissed her forehead. Then he asked. “What’s wrong, Blanca, my love?”
“Nothing. Everything is fine.” Blanca lied.
“I mean, what made you want to abort your baby like that?” Lorenzo made his point clear.
“Nothing!” Blanca shook her head.
“No way! Previously, you agreed to look after our baby; why do you suddenly change your mind? There must be something you try to hide from me!” He asked.
“I don’t understand! Please explain it to me!” Lorenzo pleaded.
“There’s nothing that I should or could explain. Everything is clear.”
Blanca lied. She didn’t want to talk about that.
“I still don’t understand! Please, try to explain me again!” Lorenzo pleaded again.
Blanca’s tears broke out at that moment. Immediately, Lorenzo hugged Blanca tightly and warmly.
He tried to give Blanca a sense of comfort and security. Blanca cried in Lorenzo’s arms.
She told him everything, but she didn’t tell him about being threatened by her father because, for her, Lorenzo didn’t need to know about her being threatened by her father. She only told him that she was called to her parents’ house about them finding out about her pregnancy and that they met Trevor, who had a girlfriend.
Hearing Blanca’s story, Lorenzo understood Blanca’s position. It’s heavy, but she can’t do anything, and she doesn’t know what to do. She felt frustration and stress at the same time.
“It turns out, Trevor caused all this,” said Lorenzo in his heart.
He had already suspected that. Trevor had said something bad to Blanca’s father, so that Blanca’s father was very angry and acted like that towards Blanca. He knows Trevor’s attitude very well.
Trevor loves twisting the facts, and that’s the thing that Lorenzo hates the most about him. So he is sure that Trevor will definitely twist the facts this time.
Lorenzo held Blanca’s hand tightly and looked deeply into Blanca’s eyes. He tried to convince Blanca not to abort the baby. “Blanca, don’t abort the baby!”
“No! I want to abort my baby.” Blanca said in a trembling voice.
“What’s wrong, Blanca?” asked Lorenzo confusedly, because he was confused that Blanca’s character could change so quickly.
“I’m ashamed of this child, Lorenzo. This child is just a jinx, and this child destroys my happiness.” She said these words, while hitting her stomach.
“Blanca, I told you. The child is a gift from God.”
“You still remember, right?” Lorenzo made sure Blanca remembered when Lorenzo said that. Lorenzo was sure that Blanca still remembered that.
Blanca didn’t answer, except with a nod of her head that meant. “Yes.” She remembered very well when Lorenzo spoke to her about it.
“So, why are you still not listening to what I said, and you still want to abort this baby?” He asked.
“There is me who will be with you and look after this baby together. So, what’s the problem? There’s no problem, right?”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
He asked again. He didn’t understand the problem at all.
That forced Blanca to reveal the real problem. It was hard for Blanca to tell him the truth, but she knew that she had to explain. If she didn’t, Lorenzo would ask her questions and make her talk again.
“The problem is…” Blanca spoke shakily and stopped for a moment.
She let out a sigh and took a deep breath before continuing her sentence. “I’m threatened by my father because of this baby, Lorenzo.”
“Threatened?! What’s the threat, honey? Tell me!” asked Lorenzo, which made Blanca immediately tell him about her father’s threats.
“Oh my god!” Lorenzo tapped his forehead.
Everything was a mess, and it seemed chaotic to Blanca. He didn’t think that things would get so bad like this.
“I understand now.” Lorenzo nodded his head. He understood why Blanca’s attitude had abruptly changed to wanting to abort her baby.
“My happiness is gone because of this baby. How can this baby not be called a baby who can bring me bad luck, Lorenzo? Everything is ruined and becomes a mess because of this baby.”
Blanca complained. Her tears were dripping down her face and wetting it more.
“Blanca, please! Don’t abort the baby!” Lorenzo pleaded.
Lorenzo pleaded again. “I will do anything as long as you don’t abort the baby. I beg you!”
“Then marry me!” Blanca immediately asked Lorenzo to marry her. For Blanca, her marriage to Lorenzo is the only solution to not aborting the baby.
Lorenzo nodded his head. He agreed.
“All right. I agree.”
“So when will we get married?” He asked.
