A Virgin Of Arab

06

“Honey, calm down. Come when you can, I feel better. Although if you come it will be even better. I love you”

“Of course I'll go, mom. I'll be there before night comes”

She left the phone on the counter and went to take a shower. But with the arrival of another message she stopped in the middle of the way and she went back to the kitchen to take the device and see what her mother had put on it.

She had no message. So she left him one last text from her telling him that she suddenly felt an enormous desire to devour chocolates, she also promised him that she would bring him some chocolates.

After that she returned to the bathroom and began to shower. After a while she was done and she was able to start dressing to go out. Of course she did not forget to put food and water for the cat.

When she was in the middle of the room combing her hair while she was watching that the toast was not going to burn, she rang the doorbell of her house. She never had visitors or friends who came to see her, she also did not believe that it was a neighbor of hers since those people were still complete strangers to her. She peeked through the peephole in the door. To her surprise, she found one of those uniformed guys who make deliveries. Most likely, she had gone to the wrong house, because she hadn't ordered anything, not even a pizza for delivery. Well, that didn't look like a pizza either.

What could it be then? She had no idea of anything, she decided to open, although suspicious.

“Good afternoon, How can i help you?”

“Hello, I work making deliveries and I came to bring you this, it's a gift from Mr. Ansarifard, her fiancee” She stopped herself from rolling her eyes. She still did not clarify that matter with Rashid. She couldn't pretend to keep things low key when she now pronounced herself her fiancée and she hers fiancée.

The truth is that she did not understand her way of acting.

“OK. What is this?”

“They're Swiss chocolates, here, have a happy day”

“I doubt it, thank you”

She went back inside the house and closed the door. Was it that there were cameras and she hadn't noticed? No, worse still, ¿was someone tracking her messages? Did she do it?

She took the phone from her and found out about the text. She then put a hand to her mouth upon discovering that she had sent the message to the Arab and not to her mother. So that's why he sent her chocolates and he was probably already used to the idea that she was a craving and she knew about her pregnancy.

“Okay, what was missing” she called him.

“Victoria, don't tell me you don't like Swiss chocolates, because they are Delicious”

“You know I was wrong, you shouldn't have bought me those expensive chocolates. That is, the text was for my mother and not for you”

“You think I don't know? But now you are officially the mother of my son and I have to take care of you. If you have a craving, then I will satisfy it".

“How do you know?”

“Keep me posted, you have been seen entering the pharmacy and then leaving with a small bag. In addition, the clerk informed about what you bought. You would not have gone to buy a pregnancy test, we both know that since we were together this would pass and I am satisfied with it. That being the case, we'll go to the doctor, I'll go too, and once there we'll define some rules”

“More rules?”

“Yes, Victoria. I thought you already understood. Now you have a life to take care of, my son. And whether you like it or not, you must abide by my rules” Before he ended the call, she was the one who hung up on him angrily at everything that was happening. No matter how upset she was she still ended up eating half a box of chocolate. But then her stomach turned and she ended up flushing it all down the toilet. She once again felt unwell and with that terrible dizziness shaking her body, she did not want to go through a bad moment again but she had to be aware that it was just the beginning of what was coming.

Getting pregnant would definitely not have been her own choice. Because she was only pregnant by that contract. Without wasting any more time, she tried to look good and not give that impression of being very pale or sick because her mother would soon realize her state was so different from her. Once she was ready, she left the house and took a taxi to the hospital. She, although she really, also made a stop at a pastry shop to buy the chocolates that she promised her mother.

But when she got out of the yellow car, she noticed that a car stopped behind the taxi and she immediately knew that it was one of the Arab's men. What was missing, to have surveillance all the time.

She paid the taxi driver and she headed towards the interior of the hospital without making a fuss towards the car that she already knew about. Seeing her mother again always brought an impact positive in her, she felt that her day changed completely, no matter how bad it was, she always managed to feel comfortable and calm. He hugged her lovingly.

“Mom, look, what I brought you. But eat in moderation, please”

“I'll try” The girl shook her head, she knew how much her mother liked to eat chocolates. It's just that with so many rules and the balanced diet ordered by the doctor, she had to be very careful when it came to eating and not eating.

“Okay, Mom I'm about to talk to the doctor to see if there's any chance you'll come home”

“I miss home too, but here I am also treated very well and if the doctor decides that I should stay here for another few days, we must not contradict him, they know what they are doing”

“I know, I'm going to ask him anyway” Her mother nodded her head and then she stared at him mostly, she fixed her eyes on her face looking deeply as if she was studying her features and that different expression that she had of hers. Victoria began to feel her nerves on the surface, her mother was not stupid and she could realize what was happening.

“That?”

“You are radiant, different, have you been feeding yourself with many calories these days?”

“Why do you say that, mom?” Although her mother was not one of the people who was always aware of what she put in her mouth or what could make us fat like certain foods, she had always educated her daughter to eat correctly and always stay healthy. Victoria was not one of those people who ate non-stop, but she repeated a second course and Julia showed the great change that her daughter had at that time, she had gained weight and that was not only noticeable in her cheeks.

“You're plumper, and I think you look even more beautiful than you already are, but you know better than to eat a lot, what is necessary yes”

“Do you think that mom is not aware of it? I'm just eating the usual, well, one or the other dessert, maybe that's why I've gained more weight. But I'm not fat mom” she added with wide eyes to which her mother smiled and caressed her cheek”

“No. You are not fat, you are the most beautiful young woman on this earth, perfect. So forget what I told you, I just want her to be healthy”

“Maybe I should exercise, but you know I'm lazy, that is, one day I plan what I'll do that the next day and then I get tired, Mom”

Make an effort, anyway, if you feel good about yourself you don't have to... Although exercise is not only to be in shape. Look at me, I can't even do it, I don't have enough strength to get up and do what I want most in this life.

“Mommy, this is just a bad time and you will see that soon things will change and you will have the same strength again, even more than you had before. And let me tell you that you are a strong woman, I wouldn't know what to do in your place, however, you always keep a smile on your face and your spirits up” she confessed.

“I want that too, look, I miss having long hair, I know I look terrible. Do not lie to me”

“It's not true, it's also because of the treatment and you should always keep in mind that inner beauty is the most important thing, even if you are a very beautiful woman, mom. When all this happens, you will have all that precious hair again, what now you don't”

Julia's eyes filled with tears and for a few seconds she covered her face. Victoria felt how the knot in her throat tightened more and more forcefully and how her heart inside her chest beat from her and was destroyed with each word that her progenitor emitted. It was not easy for anyone to live, feel and fight in those adverse circumstances, a huge curve ball that life put on them, that test that together they could pass and then move on.

Her mother was too young to leave the world and she really wanted to live, it wasn't fair that things didn't go the way they wanted, but so far the treatment worked. And that was more t

han a ray of hope.
