Chapter 4

Still in the restaurant, the evening of their fifth year anniversary. Regina didn't know that Robin was worrying about her. It was taking her a lot of time before going back. He's feeling a lot of emotions, worry, anxiety, nerves, excitement, happiness, name it for sure he was feeling that at that time. It's almost twenty minutes when she left so he decided to go after her and look for her. Before reaching the powder room he heard her voice. He was sure it was hers, she has a very sultry voice, sexiest he's ever heard. So he followed her voice, but before making his presence known he saw her talking to man, he could not recognize the man so he changed his angle and position and that's when he saw who she was talking.

Daniel.

He's back.

Her true love, her first love. The man she was supposed to spend the rest of her life with. The man that she vowed to do anything just to see him again.

Robin felt like a bucket of ice was poured onto him. He could not move. Thoughts running wild into pretty head of his. Is this their ending? Will this be their last anniversary? Will she leave him for Daniel? And more dark thoughts ran into his head. After a few minutes, he brisk walk to their to the kitchen and ordered the chef to bring a different dessert without the surprise. He went back to their private area, composed himself and pretend that he did not see anything.

By that time, he regained his hope for their relationship. He knew Regina will not leave him for Daniel and that she will tell him about this encounter when she's ready.

After a few more minutes, Regina arrived in their private area and said sorry for taking her long. he asked, "What took you so long babe?" He trusts Regina, he just wanted to know if she's ready to tell him about her encounter. Regina responded, "Oh, there was a long line, had to wait for my turn, I'm sorry." Robin just smiled but actually frowned in the inside. But he can't push her to tell him, he knew her, she'll come around when she felt the right timing.

The new set of desserts arrived. They devoured the treats and satisfied their sweet tooth.

She hate lying or keeping secrets to Robin but she didn't know what he will do, how will he react if he found out her little encounter with Daniel. She didn't want to sabotage their lovely evening. She didn''t know if hiding it fro him was the right thing to do but she knew that she didn't want to hurt him or bother him with her past anymore. Besides, she was sure that she'll never see Daniel ever again. She has moved on from him already. She has Robin with her, been with him for five loving years already. No one can break them apart. She was sure.

They finished their dessert and went back to their home. Their ride home was uneventful, silence was surrounding them, and guilt was taking over her. When they entered their apartment, she kissed him fiercely, like there was no tomorrow and he knew why, he can feel it, he can feel her guilt so he let her kiss him fiercely, anyway, he enjoys having her. Pausing to catch their breaths, she whispered, "Make love to me Robin. I want to feel you." He kissed her, now it's more passionate but not clumsy like before. They left a trail of their clothes from the door to their bedroom. When they reached their bedroom, Robin shoved Regina to the bed and followed her. He whispered, "Let me make you feel good." He kissed her lips, her neck, her breasts, her stomach, he hips, her legs, her thigh, until he reached her clit. He was such a generous lover. He teased her and a moan escaped her lips. "God Robin! I need your mouth, please. Stop teasing.", she begged him and he followed, sucking her love bundle, and she reached her peak. By that time, Robin's manhood was very hard already but he waited for Regina to come down from her high and when she came down, she pumped his manhood and sucked him. He grunted and said, "Regina...you're...God you're so good, I wanna feel you." Regina then released him with a pop and he entered her without a problem. They were like a puzzle pieces that perfectly fit together. He slide in and almost out of her and they both love that. Robin can feel her wetness, tightness, and hotness. He felt that she was almost there again from the way she clenched so he thrust harder until the came together. He placed a soft lingering kiss on her lips and rolled to the side of their bed. He muttered, "I love you." before falling to sleep.

Several weeks have gone after their anniversary and the couple went back to their routines. Regina became busy with the hospital and Robin's been having meeting for a new project. Only seeing each other before or after work and texts here and there. Robin missed her so much, missed having real conversation with her. That day, Robin knew Regina will not be on duty the following day so he planned a surprise dinner for her on her favorite restaurant.

That day, Regina was at the hospital, attending to some of her patients. It was pretty busy due to the weather. Kids were being brought from time to time and most of them were having problems with their pulmonary system, having colds, cough, difficulty in breathing are just among the cases they were solving that morning. By 2pm, her shift ended and went home.

When she reached their apartment, there was a voice mail from Robin saying that she should get ready for that night because they'll have dinner but he will not say where. She just chuckled at his voice mail and went to their room to change into something comfortable. She heard a knock on their front door, the knock was frantic so she rushed to the door and opened it without looking at the peek hole. She was shocked to see see who it was at the door.

Daniel. Showed unexpectedly, again.

"What the hell are you doing here?" she asked.

"I just want to explain Regina." He replied.

"I don't need your explanation Daniel. I'm happy with my life now. And how did you know our apartment?" She asked, crossing her arms.

"Maybe you don't need my explanation, but I need to explain my side to you, I owe it you. And I don't want to carry this burden anymore, knowing that I hurt you by leaving you without a trace." He said with guilt painted on his face.

Even though Regina was hurt by this, his words still has an effect to her. She should not feel that but his words melted her heart let him in their apartment. She guided him to the living room and they seated face-to-face, side-by-side. Both of them fiddling their fingers, unsure what to do next. And Daniel began explaining.

"Regina, please believe, I did not want to leave you. I did not want to hurt you. But I had to leave you because I need to protect you and your family." He said

"How was leaving me equated to not hurting me, to protecting me and my family, huh? Tell me Daniel!" She said angrily, feeling very confused.

"Just listen to me Regina. I know what I did was so wrong in so many levels. But I needed to do that for you, for us, for your family and mine. It was because of my dad. Our family had financial problem that time and I didn't know that, they did not want me to know because they did not want to worry me with that kind of problem because they knew how much I wanted to be a veterinarian. They looked for many ways to send me to college until one time they asked me to come home. So I went back, I didn't tell you because I thought it was just a day trip I will be able to come back at night. That day, they told me what was happening. My dad borrowed money from someone powerful and we could not pay him on time. He kept threatening our family, I saw the letters, heard the voice mails and it scared me because the last letter said that even our friends and those who were close to us will pay and I thought of you immediately. My parents, they persuade me to leave you, that it was the best option, but I did not listen to them. I went back that night, but after a few days, they sent a me picture of me inside the campus, I was waiting for you in the picture, and that's when I realized that maybe my parents were right. Along with the picture came a letter from my parents, still convincing me to leave you for your safety. That night, I left the university went back home, without a trace, because I was afraid that even if I just leave you a letter, they'll find out those who were close to me and I did not want to bring you into the mess our family made. I'm sorry Regina, I swear to God, I did not want to leave you but I did that for you even if it broke my as well, I did not want to go back until I was sure that our business was done. I cannot risk your life so even if it hurts, I chose to let you be. I'm happy for you Regina. I'm happy that you are happy now with him. I wish you all the best Regina, and remember that you'll always have my heart." He said that with tears running down from his eyes, staring at her brown orbs with utmost sincerity.

Regina was feeling a lot of emotions. She didn't know what to say. But her gut was telling her to do something she might regret. But without second thought, she just did what her gut was telling her.

She kissed him. And it felt like before. His soft lips, oh, how much she missed them.

He was shocked, he thought he'll be punched or slapped in the face for his confession. He didn't expect to be kissed.

He missed this, he missed her.

Soon, he responded and the sloppy kiss before, now became a passionate one. Their minds where occupied their memories together. What could have been if he did not leave her. If they did not have financial problem. It was wrong to think that, especially they knew that she was in a year loving relationship, but it felt good. They tongues were dancing, and soon they waltzing to the bedroom. When they reached the bedroom, she began unbuttoning his shirt and she's done he lifted her shirt. They were both half naked, at that point when they didn't hear the front door opening. They continued kissing and touching each other's skin. The person walked in the house and heard noises coming from the bedroom. He followed the noises, but before continuing with his tracks, he grabbed a small vase for protection and continued walking. The noises were getting louder and clearer, each step, the clearer they become, a lot of scenarios were playing on his pretty head but did not want to jump into conclusion, when he reached the door, he twisted the knob and immediately opened the door.

He was shocked. His breath got caught up in his lungs. His heart was beating fast. And the vase that he was holding was quickly released from his hand and when the vase hit the floor, that was the time when Regina and Daniel stopped what they were doing. Both of them looked to the door and shocked to see who it was.

Robin.

Her boyfriend, her lover, her soul mate, her savior.

Immediately, guilt washed over her.

The three of them waited for someone to talk, waiting who'll be the one to get over the shock.

"I'll leave you two to whatever you were doing. Enjoy." He said subtly and walked off the room. Regina quickly picked her robe from the vanity chair, covered herself and followed Robin.

"No, no, no please Robin. I'm sorry. It wasn't what it looked like." She said reaching for him. He just scoffed and was amused by her denial.

Regina was able catch him and hugged him the back. "I'm sorry Robin. Please don't leave me." And she kept pleading but Robin just removed hands from his body. He turned around he can clearly see the guilt on her face and she clearly see his anger.

"Do you really think that I'm that stupid Regina? I saw you, both of you half naked in our room, kissing each other! What do you want me to think? Huh? That you were just playing doctors and examining each others' body?!" He said angrily, he cannot contain his emotions anymore.

She remained silent but murmured sorry's and I love you's while looking at the floor because she cannot make herself look at him knowing how angry he was to her, to them.

Robin didn't expect a tear to run down on his cheek. But because of anger, a tear dropped from his eyes. He's had enough. He didn't expect this day to be like this. He just wanted to have a lovely dinner with her and hopefully became her fiancé after the dinner. But then he thought, it would be impossible now, now that Daniel is back and from what he saw, it was clear to him already, he just a replacement, someone that mend her broken heart. So he began talking again.

"Regina tell me! All those five years of our relationship, what am I to you? Am I really boyfriend or just a replacement? A cloth to fill the hole in your heart that this man left? Someone to scratch the itch? Did you really love me? Huh? Regina please tell me! What am I to you?" He said now crying, confused, angry.

"No, Robin! I love you please. Don't leave." She begged.

"Regina please stop lying. From what I saw, it was clear to me now, everything I said a while ago, that was me to you and I did a pretty bad job because apparently, you still chose him. The noises, the kisses, the touches, I've heard and seen them a while ago and it broke me to know that even after five years of being with, I thought I was enough. Did you even think of me before and while you were kissing and undressing him?" He asked.

Regina didn't answer, afraid that whatever she said might cost more, might drag her down lower. It was a moment of weakness. She didn't know why she did that, why her gut did told her to do that and why did she obey her gut even though she knew that it might lead to this. Losing Robin, losing the five happiest years of her life, because of him. She was content and happy with her life with Robin but when Daniel explained everything, a lot of what if's ran through her brain. She could not help herself but feel the longing from him again and kissing him felt good but now it tastes bitter because she might lose again a love of her life.

Before she can respond to him, Robin stated talking again, "Regina, during our anniversary, I knew that you saw him in the restaurant, I knew you had a little chat with him, I knew you said you didn't want to hear his explanation. I waited for you to tell me that you saw him but weeks had passed and still no words from you. I wanted to ask you how you feel but I know you'll said that you're fine and okay, that he's part of your past so decided not push you to tell me. And I noticed that after our dinner, you became a little uneasy and a bit shaken for the few weeks, I knew you wanted closure from him but closure was last word that I could use from what I witnessed today. During our anniversary, I wanted to propose to you, but decided not to because of your encounter with him, I knew that if I asked you that night, you'll be half-hearted with your answer. Today, I called you to prepare for a dinner because I want us to have some time together, we've been so busy after the anniversary, Christmas, and New Year and I miss you so much. Also, I have something to tell you that is important." He said with tears running down his face. He reached for his pocket. He was holding a ring with a box shaped diamond and he continued. "Today, I was able to close a deal, we were tasked to go to the Philippines for three months to shoot a documentary, and I did not want to leave without being secured that when I get back you're still my girlfriend. Today I planned, to have to have a dinner with you and tell that to you to give this to you, hoping you'll say yes, that you'll let me be the one, the one you'll marry and have kids and grandchildren with. But after this, I don't know anymore Regina. I know to my heart that it still beats for you but I'm just angry and confused right now, feeling like I was never enough. I'm giving you this, you don't have to answer right now, I know you are as confused as I am at the moment. I'll give you time to think, three months, I'll be away. I hope that's enough for you to decide if you want to be with me or with him. I didn't want to make you choose but I can only take so much. I want to be secured that I am the only one, that I am enough to make you happy and feel loved. I want you to keep it, no matter what your decision will be, I'll be happy because even though I'm feeling a lot right now, your happiness is my happiness." He finished his speech and gave to the ring to her, he did not placed it on her finger he just held her hand, put it on her palm and closed her hand. He wiped his tears and went to their closet to pack his things for his trip.

Before leaving, he saw Regina standing by the door, crying and it broke his heart even more. He could not stand seeing her like that but he had to resist to just go to her because he, himself was still hurting. That day was very exhausting. Before leaving the apartment, he hugged her one last time, and said, "I love you, will always will. Make the right decision, my love. I want you to be happy." He then kissed her forehead and then left the apartment. He stayed at Will's for several days before flying to the Philippines.

Regina was left alone in their apartment. She was just crying. Questioning every decision she made that day and the past few weeks. She should have told him about Daniel, she should have not been weak against Daniel, she should have thought of what Robin would feel, she should have considered the risk of being caught just to stop herself from kissing him, from bringing him to their bedroom where they made love for so many times. If she was just strong enough to resist her longing for Daniel, she wouldn't lose Robin, he lover, soul mate and savior.

After several days, there was no sign of Daniel or Robin, she didn't even know when will be Robin's flight to the Philippines or where in the Philippines they will stay. She was worried sick, what if she was so late to tell Robin that she was choosing him and that she was sure that it's him she's happy and in love with, that Daniel was her past that she wants to burry at the back of her mind.

She didn't notice that her period hasn't come yet. She was stuck into her thoughts, into her thinking. One morning, she woke up feeling nauseous; she hurried to the toilet and puked. She didn't mind, thought that might be a stomach flu, she went to the kitchen and started making breakfast but the smell of her usual breakfast was throwing her off and that's when she thought of her period. She checked her calendar and realized that her period should have been there one and a half weeks prior. Her eyes bulged into realization. She went to the pharmacy to get three sets of pregnancy test. She took the test and waited for five minutes, longest five minutes of her life. After five minutes, the tests were done.

She whispered to herself, "I'm pregnant, we're pregnant."
