Which will HE choose ?
The recent discovery riled Gilbert up as he paced restlessly in the living room. How will he tell his parents about it? What will he tell his fiance?
"Why does this girl want to kill me, a common D&C she has refused? He said to no one in particular. He couldn't understand why she wouldn't obey his demand. Was it that difficult?
" Anyway, it is not like I will marry her. So it is her choice" he said once again. He just couldn't hold it in not when it was a threat to his life. His dream life. A life he had planned out.
" Nicole is pregnant, it is not like it is my fault., if Nicole hadn't been too dumb to take care of herself, she wouldn't be pregnant" he rants again pacing continually.
" I wouldn't be in this mess"
Gilbert Walter who was trying to console his guilty conscience added but quickly fixed his face when he heard his father's voice from his study room.
Dr. Jaime Walter was seated in his study room angry about the news he learned about his son earlier that day: that
his beloved Gilbert has impregnated a high school teenager." Nicole" a few day to his wedding with Hillary Fort.
What a tragic news!
"madam, where is your son...?, Dr. Jaime Walter shouted.
As Gilbert was going to see his father in his study, One could hear Dr.Jaime Walter's voice from the living room,
"Honey, have you seen Gilbert today,?
" No, I haven't "Mrs. Walter replied. That voice Mr Walter knew it very well. Perhaps she thought he was joking.With rage in his eyes, "Mrs. Walter", his wife was stunned.
"Is this not your son,? Gilbert where are you coming from?"Dr. Jaime Walter questioned.
With the looks on his father's face,
Gilbert knew exactly what was going on. That someone has let the cat out of the cage,
"Daddy I can explain" Gilbert already knew where the conversation was heading.....he knelt,
Mrs. Walter, Gilbert's mum who has never seen his son like that was lost in confusion.
"what is going on? Mrs. Walter questioned?
" Why don't you ask your incompetent son," said Mr Walter pointing fingers at Gilbert.
Mrs. Walters has always been on the team Gilbert, because he is her only child.
"Sorry to break the news. but Nicole is pregnant with Gilbert's child" Nicole Miller is the daughter of Janet, their housemaid. She had lost her husband sir Miller in a car accident fifteen years ago who was one of Dr. Jaime's Walter staff at his hospital. Leaving Nicole Miller and Janet with nothing to hold on to. Dr.Jaime Walter felt it was his responsibility to take care of Janet and her child since her husband Pius Miller was a loyal staff member.
Ever since the incident, Dr. Jaime Walter sees them as his own family.He expected Mrs. Walter to see them like family as well.
But Mrs. Walter has refused, because she believes that a butterfly can never be a bird.
A few months back,when Gilbert came back from college, he had always had eyes for Nicole. With the fear of his mum, he had to withdraw.He tried being an elder brother to Nicole, but Nicole seems to be too attractive to him. Regardless of what Mrs. Walter thinks.
The feeling was still there, although Mrs. Walter had earlier warned Gilbert to avoid Nicole because it will be a shame if her colleagues were to find out her son is in love with her maid.
"Gilbert, tell your mother what you did"
"em....hmm, Nicole is pregnant for me."
"What is the devil's name are you saying? Mrs. Walter shouted in disbelief.
" I don't believe you, she added.
Can someone call me Nicole right now? she shouted again.
Mrs Walter rings the bell and one of the maids immediately sauntered in to the study. Mrs Walter ordered her to go fetch Nicole immediately.
The maid hurried out of the study room to find Nicole humming amorously like Cinderella unknown to her that her life was about to change.
" Nicole! A fragile brunette girl turned around with eyes as blue as the sea. Her radiant smile had the maid clearing her throat but what came next made the smile disappear. She was summoned to Mr Walter's study which was a rare thing. Was it time for her secret to be revealed.
So soon?
Anyway, she dropped whatever she was doing inhaled and exhaled. Wiped her hand on her uniform and trailed off to the the study.
"Ma, you called me"
it is very unlikely that Mrs. Walter would call Nicole. Mrs. Miller followed immediately after Nicole. On seeing Nicole, the anger inside of Mrs. Walter just fueled the more. Because her worst nightmare has finally come through.
"Nicole tell us what you told me yesterday, '' Dr. Walter commanded."
Nicole looked at her mum, then turned to the other side to look at Gilbert.This time, Mrs. Miller was confused that she had to interrupt.
"Nicole, what happened.? "
Nicole was silent, Dr. Walter who on the other hand was already angry shouted at Nicole.
"Will you speak upl"
Mrs. Miller, who was still burning with confusion, pinched Nicole. Giving her a sign that she should speak up.
"Sir, I...I said I am pregnant" she stuttered. You wouldn't blame her Mrs Walter's eyes was boring holes in her head.
" Jee...eus Christ"
Mrs Miller shouted, with both hands on her head.
" What did you just say? ? Mrs. Miller burst into tears. No, tears was drooling down Mrs. Miller's eyes.
Mrs. Walter pulls Nicole by her hair.
" You see.....this is how you trained your daughter to seduce my son. You can't keep this pregnancy at all "
"That is what I have told her since"
Gilbert quickly sided with his mother.
"Gilbert, what is wrong with you"
Dr. Walter shouted" how dare you tell a 16-year-old to do an abortion. Do you know the risk attached?" Mrs. Miller was against the idea but couldn't utter a word because of the fear of Mrs. Walter.
Dr. Walter added, .. "Gilbert, you have proven yourself not satisfied by the woman you want to marry. For that reason, I have made my judgment. You must marry Nicole"
"what? Mrs. Walter scoffed.."what about his wedding?
" He should have thought about that before he slept with Nicole.
"No way, you can't have my son marry a maid., over my dead body" she added,
"Dr. Walter smiled," where did I marry you from? you have forgotten soon that you were also the daughter of a maid." Mrs. Walter was surprised that her husband would say that in front of everyone. for once her mouth was shut.
Nicole and Mrs Miller looked at each other with surprise because the one thing Mrs walter hate is poor and the weary,
who knew she was one herself.
