My Offers For You - Chapter 30
Now that she saw them almost after a long time, a part of her heart felt relieved but then she was a little sad also. After knowing about her condition they sure are gonna be sad and she didn’t wanted them to feel that for her. Xu Zhuya wanted her childhood friends whom she considered as her siblings to not feel sad for her condition.
Su Wan and Song Jung looked at her with eyes full of tears. Su Wan said in a crying tone “Hey!! Where are you lost ? young lady??” Xu Zhuya came back to reality when she heard Su Wan speak. She replied with a weak smile “Nothing.. it’s just nothing…. I really missed you both.” She hugged them once again and took a deep breath and asked “hmphh!! So how have you guys been ?? How is uncle and aunt and everyone ?? Are all of them alright ??”
Song Jung replied “Seriously, Xu Zhuya?? You haven’t changed at all. That same tone and everything and now even the same questions huh ??” He paused for a while and looked at her condition from up to down and said “Wait a minute!! Why is your stomach bulgung out ??” Su Wan also looked at her and pointed out at her stomach “Yeah. What’s wrong Xu?? Are you okay ??”
Suddenly some thought struck in her mind and Su Wan widened her eyes in shock and said “Don’t tell me.. Don’t tell me that… You…” Before Su Wan could complete Xu Zhuya blurted out “I’m pregnant.” But she said in a happier tone.
Su Wan and Song Jung were so happy upon hearing the news. They jumped up and down and said to each other.
Su Wan : “Yayyy!! I’m going to be an aunt….” She looked at Song Jung and gestured her hand saying him to continue. And then Song Jung continued “And I’m going to be an uncle. Ahhh!! It’s soo amazing.”
Su Wan hit Xu Zhuya slightly on her hand and said “You should have at least called us and told that you got married. Okay.. Even if you didn’t wanted to say that you could have at least told about your pregnancy na?”
Xu Zhuya was happy all this time but when Su Wan questioned her about her marriage and getting pregnant, she felt a familiar ache in her heart. The familiar ache was the one where she was worrying about them that if they get to know about her condition, they would feel sad for her and that’s what she didn’t wanted.
Xu Zhuya tried changing the topic but she failed. At last she said “I got married almost 2 years back. I wanted to write up to you or call you but I was soo busy with my work that I couldn’t make it up. And one day when I got time I searched up your numbers in my phone and unfortunately when I dialed the number it said that the number is wrong. I’m sure that maybe I might have deleted one or two digits. So that’s why I wasn’t able to contact you guys….
She was about to continue but then was interrupted by Song Jung “Ohh !! Well that’s great you got married. We are happy for you. But who is the guy ?? You didn’t mention the name of the guy but you are saying your stupid story about losing our contact and everything. Seriously, you just didn’t change.”
Upon hearing the question, Xu Zhuya felt that she was struck by lightning. Her fear was coming back to her. Her bright smile started to fade away and when Su Wan noticed that, She caught hold of her hands and asked in a caring tone “Hey!! Xu… What’s wrong ? Are you okay ?? Is everything okay ?? What happened back at home? Tell us Xu ..”
Xu Zhuya spoke while stammering “I…I…I…am d..divorced.” Before she could realize tears started rolling down her cheek and she felt bad that she couldn’t control her tears too.
Both Su Wan and Song Jung looked at her with sudden shock. They felt that She was joking but when they saw her cry they couldn’t say up anything. Su Wan opened her mouth to say something but she couldn’t say. They both cuddled her softly and just like parents taking care of their broken child they patted her back and whispered sweet nothings to calm her down.
It was a while now and slowly, slowly Xu Zhuya began to open up and said everything that happened to her. She said everything starting from her arranged marriage till her being thrown out of the house by her parents.
Su Wan patted her head and said “Hushh !! It’s okay. Don’t worry. Everything will be fine. Now that you are over here, we will take care of you.” Su Wan started to divert the topic “Where will you be staying now? You can come stay with us.. We will be really glad to keep you.”
Xu Zhuya rubbed her tears and said “No, It’s fine already. I have decided to move on. So there’s nothing to worry about guys. Thank you. But I’ll be staying in a hotel for a few days and when I get a job I’ll find a house and shift over.”
