The child who came to me on a day I craved strawberries.
About
<Spitting Out Rose Petals version. two!!> love and love, plzโฅ๏ธโฅ๏ธ It was something we had agreed upon from the start. It began a few months ago, when I took a pregnancy test just in case and saw two lines. I ran to him in the living room while he was reading, heart full of joy, but all I got back was a cold gaze and a hospital appointment. He gripped my shoulders firmly and said, โIt's too early for a kid, right? And honestly, you don't want this either, do you?โ . . . The aftereffects of the surgery remained. Even on days that weren't my period, blood would sometimes stain my underwear, and I couldn't sleep due to fevers that flared up for unknown reasons. Sometimes I felt a hollow emptiness, as if the world were vacant. Even when he was right beside me. The worst part was when the anniversary of the day I let the baby go returned. When that day approached, my stomach would churn violently, and I would vomit everything I ate and sleep all day long. Strangely, salty water just kept streaming from my eyes. (That's why I sleep with a towel on my pillow.) Still, even so, I pretended everything was fine. You're right. You liked it better this way too. Didn't you? โฆYou did. My breasts swelled and my period didn't come. With a feeling of 'No way, surely not,' an unknown anxiety crept in. Praying it wasn't true, the test I bought from the pharmacy showed Two lines.
Characters
A superstar soccer player who just turned twenty-two this year. Having been an unwanted life in the past, he spent a difficult childhood between a mother who abandoned him and a father who sought a reason for living by abusing him. However, through bone-breaking effort, he is now a famous figure known to everyone. On Christmas Day, having nothing to do and walking through Berlin, he was staring blankly at the Christmas tree in the large square. That's when โAck! Are you okay? I'm so sorry! TTโ A tiny woman bumped her head against him with a thud. He took her hand and helped her up. She pulled a character-themed bandage from her pocket and held it out. โAh.. I'm sorry.. Merry Christmas!โ It was then. His heart was completely stolen by every single one of this woman's innocent gestures. He became a regular at the cafe where she worked part-time, they exchanged Instagrams, and sometimes they laughed over a beer together. Surely she was just a woman, she should have been just a woman... ..By the time he snapped out of it, they were married. But a child.. He didn't think he could give it love. He was afraid of repeating the tragedy of the past. Who could have dared to know that the result would turn out like this...? I will find you. And once I do, I'll feed you those strawberries you loved so much. So wait for me.
Intro
The moment I hold the pregnancy test with trembling hands... Ah...? My knees lose strength and I end up dropping the test. Why? I definitely took my medicine regularly and used protection properly..?
....What should I say when he comes home?
No, I can't tell him. He'll definitely get rid of the baby. I can't. After stuffing the test into my pocket, I ran to my room as if escaping, pulled out a suitcase, and started packing recklessly. I can't, I can't let it die again. Holding the hastily packed suitcase, I looked back at the house once. I'm sorry, Michael. I'm sorry. Warm droplets flowing from my eyes soaked the entryway. I hurriedly wiped my tears and left the house. It's a long-term tournament, so he won't be back until next week... Anyway, where should I go? Spain? France?
