Chapter 9: Not for now
" Pucca, daughter your uncles is calling you" Pucca's mom said, Pucca stood up and felt dizzy. Pucca's mom realized and rushed towards her.
" Don't worry mom, I stood up quickly and just got dizzy" Pucca said to not scare or worry her mom.
" Well, then you have to tell Garu about the wedding, you two said that it was next month, by the way have you seen him?" Pucca's mom asked.
" No, I mean I only talked with him on the phone but I haven't actually seen him since three weeks ago, which was our anniversary, but he has been busy battling Tobe" Pucca explained, somehow dissapointed.
" Oh, but your wedding is coming soon and he will have all the time for you" Pucca's mom said giving Pucca hopes.
" Well yes, I have to go help, bye mom" Pucca said, she grabbed her stuff and went to work. Pucca was taking the orders, Ching, Abyo, and Chibyo were there. Pucca smiled.
" Hi, Pucca how have you been?" Ching asked, carrying Chibyo.
" Mommy, can I go with auntie Pucca?" Chibyo sweetly asked, Pucca smiled and carried him.
" How is my little boy" Pucca asked Chibyo, he smiled.
" Where is uncle Garu? I want him to train me, I want to become a ninja like him" Chibyo said. Pucca smiled.
" Uncle Garu Is not here but when he comes I'll tell him to train you, okay?" Pucca said, Chibyo nodded.
" So how are things with you and Garu?"Ching asked.
" Good, I mean I haven't see him because he had to go but maybe today he will be coming back, ouch" Pucca said, still with Chibyo in her arms, she grabbed her stomach in pain.
" Pucca! Are you okay?" Ching and Abyo worriedly asked, Abyo took Chibyo from Pucca so that she could rest.
" My stomach hurts a lot, ouch" Pucca exclaimed in pain and fainted.
Ching and Abyo gasped. They took Pucca to the hospital, Abyo took Chibyo home and Ching stayed with Pucca. Ching went into Pucca's room and Pucca opened her eyes. The doctor came in and smiled at Pucca.
" Well Pucca you have to take care of yourself and your baby" The doctor said, Pucca and Ching's eyes widened and they gasped.
" Excuse me? Baby? So I am…" Pucca said, with tears of joy in her eyes.
" Yes Pucca, you are pregnant, you are only three weeks pregnant, the baby now is really small but you have to take care of you and the baby" The doctor happily said as he left. Pucca smiled.
" Oh Pucca! You are going to be a mother!" Ching said, as she hugged her friend to congratulate her.
" I am so happy" Pucca said with a broad smile on her face that faded away.
" What happened?" Ching asked as she noticed her friend's smile fading.
" I can't tell Garu, not for now" Pucca said, sobbing and touching her stomach containing her child.
" Well why not? He has to know, It wouldn't be fair for you to not tell him, he has to know the truth about your pregnancy" Ching said.
" No! I have to think on what I am going to do, he can't know yet" Pucca said. There was a knock on the door, Ching opened it and Garu came in. Pucca's heart almost stopped, she was happy to see him yet nervous at the same time.
" My love! What happened? Why are you in the hospital?" Garu worriedly asked, hugging and kissing her lips.
" It was a regular check-up" Pucca lied
" Then why are you in the hospital bed? Tell me the truth" Garu softly said.
" Forget about it, so how were things with Tobe, did he finally stopped bothering us?" Pucca asked hoping that all problems were solved.
" Not really, I came here as soon as I found out you were in the hospital" Garu said.
" Pucca, I think that you should tell him, is for the best" Ching said. Garu looked at Ching and back at Pucca with confusion.
" Tell me what?" Garu asked, Pucca sighed and spoke.
" That i am very happy to see you and that I missed you with all my heart" Pucca said, kissing Garu's lips.
" That's not it, what is really happening?" Garu asked, Pucca stood up from the hospital bed. Facing at the door and with her bak at Garu, she shed tears.
" You can't know, not for now" Pucca said, crying and touching her abdomen still giving her back at Garu, Garu held her hand and Pucca turned around.
" You can tell me anything, my love?" Garu said, Pucca turned around and hugged him.
" Promise me that you will always be happy, no matter what happens, promise me that you will smile" Pucca said, Garu looked at her with confusion.
" What do you mean? What is going to happen? Why do you want to promise you that?" Garu asked, Pucca caressed his face and bursted in tears.
" Just promise me, and I will always love you no matter what happens and I wish you the best my love" Pucca said, Garu still didn't understand what she meant.
" Pucca? Why are you saying all of this things? What my love? What is going to occur?" Garu asked, Pucca weakly smiled.
" You are a strong lad, you'll be fine without me" Pucca whispered to herself. She kissed Garu's cheek and left with Ching, Garu followed her and stopped her.
" My love! Where are you going?" Garu worriedly exclaimed.
" Please don't make things harder than they already are" Pucca said.
" I am so confused, what do you mean?" Garu asked.
" You'll see tomorrow what I mean with all of this and it might hurt you but I'll return" Pucca said, Ching and Garu looked at her confused, she weakly smiled and left crying.
" Ching, what is wrong with Pucca? What does she mean?" Garu asked.
" I don't know what she means by all that" Ching said. She hugged Garu and left following Pucca, Garu ran behind her but Pucca already left.
Garu's POV
What does Pucca mean, it seems like is she was saying bye to me and I feel like if something is not right, was she saying goodbye to me? I hope not, our wedding is in a month and if she left I don't know what I would do without her, I know she is hiding something but I can't find out what it is that she is hiding, is it really that serious for her to occult whatever she is hiding from me? I just hope that she never leaves me, if she does then life won't have any meaning to me.
[ end of Garu's POV]
[Meanwhile with Pucca]
" Pucca! Why didn't you tell him?" Ching exclaimed.
" I can't not now, I have to tell my uncles and my parents, and then I am leaving" Pucca said, with tears in her eyes.
" Leaving? No, you can't leave! What about Garu? He has to know that you are expecting a baby from him" Ching said, Pucca cried.
" I can't, I just can't! maybe someday but not for now, well I have to go, and don't tell anyone I am pregnant, bye Ching" Pucca said.
" Think stuff, make the right choice" Ching adviced her friend. Then Pucca left.
Pucca arrived to the restaurant, she expected whole Sooga to know that she was pregnant, but she was surprised that noone knew it, she rushed to her room and cried until she couldn't cry anymore.
Pucca's POV
I have to tell my parents and my uncles that I am pregnant, I have to leave and let Garu tofinally defeat Tobe so that we could both raise our child together and free from problems so that our child can grow up in peace and free from problems from the parents, I just want the best for Garu and my baby. And if the best for me to leave, then I shall leave, but Garu should not know about our child, not for now.
