'And so that's what happened…'
Rei was silent for an awfully long time, trying to get used to the idea that I could be pregnant. The thing was that, if I was pregnant, who would the father be? And I knew that it would ultimately break my relationship with Akito. He would have every right to break it up and hate me for this guilty act. It seemed fishy enough knowing that I had most often than not, been occupied at work, almost as if to avoid Akito but just as much as him, I had wanted to spend as much time with Akito as possible before it got out of hand. Because with time and intensity, the love can easily vanish over time, love can easily be transferred over to someone who makes the effort to make time and love can easily be forgotten and never again salvaged once more. It is with regret that this baby could be the bomb that sets us both apart but then it is possible that the baby could rekindle what little left there is.
'And the symptoms are all there; morning sickness, weight gain and absence of my periods. I did party a lot when I was away and I would wake up not remembering what happened that night,' I explained to Rei, not looking into his eyes, feeling quite ashamed of myself.
Another hour into the flight, the local news appeared again. This time, it was showing Akito and Fuka seen in a cafe together with her hand on his to assure him that things will be okay. The main news reporter seemed piped up to see the two of them together but was confused by Akito's true feelings. A group of journalists along with people with cameras stubbornly stuck near the cafe waiting for the two of them to go out. The two of them looked into the direction of the flash photography and alarmingly got out of the cafe with Fuka leading Akito away from the paparazzi. Akito attempted to shield his face from the cameras but it was proven to be pointless.
'And there goes Akito and Fuka. If we look at a freeze frame we caught of Akito and Fuka…' the news reporter said ecstatically.
The freeze frame was zoomed onto the joining of their hands whilst the news reporter exaggerated the assumption that Akito still had feelings for Fuka due to the fact that he let her take him away from the hustle and bustle. It was expected that the screen would turn over to another piece of news but it froze there motionless as the private jet plane malfunctioned and started getting out of control. Rei quickly took me over to the emergency exits where we were provided with parachutes. I was reluctant for a moment until Rei who was strapped to me from behind, coerced me exasperatingly to jump off.
