The sunset calmed her heart, but at this moment, she needed space. Mina caressed her bump as her gaze lost somewhere in the clouds.
" Am I making the right decision?" she asked herself.
A sigh left her lips, her talk with Aaron had made her realise a lot. Reality was harsh yet people decided to live in it and she decided to do the same.
" I need strength, Mom."
She headed to the bathroom, freshening up for dinner. They were waiting for her.
Aaron heard her steps before he saw her. His eyes lifted when he saw her. Their eyes said everything their lips couldn't. An unspoken emotion they had to let go of but were stubborn to let go.
Dinner was silent, Naarah tried to lighten the mood however she had no response from both couples. She wanted to pull her hair. What was wrong with them? Didn't a three-month separation do anything?
" Can you excuse us Naarah?" Mina said.
Naarah raided her brow but respected her friend's request.
The silence made Aaron shift in his chair.
"I'm sorry about what happened earlier. " Mina said as she fidgeted with her fork.
" You don't need to apologize, princess."
Mina nodded her head before meeting Aaron's gaze, she gave him a light smile before saying;
" I want to live in France with Naarah. Just the two of us." she dropped the bombshell.
Aaron's eyes dilated, and she wanted to leave. He just came back. He wanted to spend a lot of time with her. He searched her eyes trying to see if she was joking but his princess didn't joke. His princess had never asked for anything from him before and if she says she wanted to go to France then so be it.
" Ok, I respect every decision you make," he said even though his heart was twisted with pain.
" Also, I've decided to keep the baby," Mina said with a smile tugging on her lips
Aaron'seyes widened as he heard what she said.
He stabbed his hand with a fork to make sure he wasn't dreaming. A groan escaped his lips when he felt the pain.
"You are keeping the baby. Our baby?" Aaron stammered
Mina frowned upon his last statement," Our baby". She never thought about calling the life in her their baby. She hasn't even thought of the name for it.
" Our baby?" she murmured to herself, she felt strange saying that.
Their baby, Aarin and hers. Why wasn't she mad about it? Why did she somehow like it?
" Princess, did I say something to make you sad?" Aaron asked when tears slipped down his princess's face.
He hates it when she cries, he wishes she never cried, he leans closer and wipes away her tears before planting a kiss on her head.
"I'm sorry. I'm a jerk for making you cry, princess. " he apologized as he hugged her.
'Screw these hormones, why was she crying. Those were just some words he said not anything special.' she thought to herself.
Mina pulled away from the hug as she wiped away her tears;
" I'm fine," she reassures Aaron.
Naarah grinned from ear to ear as the drama displayed in front of her. She couldn't hear whatever they said but their interaction gave everything away.
" Finally, peace. I can hear wedding bells." she giggled to herself.
