บท 219: She Was So Happy
It had been more than half an hour but Tsubaki was still in the bathroom. She was staring at four of the different test kits placed on the countertop, all of them had two red lines appeared on their surface, indicating the same results.
Her vision turned blurry as hot tears brimmed around her eyes. Her fingers curled up as she grasped the hem of her dress. Tsubaki slumped down as she couldn't contain her emotions, she crouched on the floor and let the tears trickling down her face.
I'm pregnant!
I'm pregnant with his child!
Our baby!
Tsubaki covered her mouth, muffling the sound of her crying. Her long hair fell to the floor, her body shook greatly as she couldn't stop crying. The sound of her sobs filled the bathroom.
After taking a moment to calm down, Tsubaki stood up and looked at her reflection on the mirror. She laughed when she saw what a mess she was in. If Ren was here, there was no doubt he would be so worried. Tsubaki opened the faucet, she washed her face repeatedly.
Her guess was right, especially when she thought how her period had been delayed for too long.
But, she didn't expect it would be too soon for them to have a child.
As she was drying her face with a small towel, her eyes landed on the test kits. Tsubaki pursed her lips, she was thinking of what she should do with the news. She took a plastic bag and hid all the evidence in it before she placed it inside a dustbin. Tsubaki took a deep breath before left the bathroom.
All the tests were positive but she was still afraid if they were all false. She still needed confirmation from the doctor. How could she do it without alerting her husband?
Tsubaki sat on the bed, her upper body leaning against the headboard. A cool breeze came through the opened French doors, helping her to calm down. She placed her hands on her lower tummy, her movements were so gentle as if she was holding on a treasure.
Tsubaki smiled at the thought.
This was indeed a treasure. A treasure of her and Ren.
As the gentle breeze caressed her face, she was lulled to sleep. Her hands were still secured on her tummy.
It didn't take long for her to fall asleep.
"Sweetheart?"
"..."
"Sweetheart? Tsubaki?"
Tsubaki slowly opened her eyes at the sound of the familiar voice. A small smile instantly bloomed on her face once she looked at the man sitting beside her. Before the man could say anything, she lunged forward and pounced on him.
"Darling! You're back!"
Ren fell on his back with Tsubaki wrapped her hands tightly around his neck. He laughed as he found the situation funny.
"Do you really miss me so much?" Ren snaked an arm around her waist, Tsubaki giggled over his chest.
"I missed you," Tsubaki leaned over slightly and pecked his lips. "Did you miss me?"
Ren smiled lazily, he brought his lips toward hers. "Much more than you could imagine."
As the husband and wife laid on the soft bed, Tsubaki was so tempted to break the news to her husband. She pursed her lips tightly, trying to steel her heart. She didn't want to be so abrupt!
"The bodyguards said you didn't eat lunch," Ren suddenly reminded what his bodyguards had said once he returned from the meeting. "Aren't you hungry? We could have tea and desserts first if you want and then an early dinner."
"En..." Tsubaki threw her gaze outside the windows. The sun had yet to set but its golden rays had spread over the horizon. The scenery was so breathtaking. "Why don't we watch the sunsets too? I want to go outside actually."
"Alright," Ren readily agreed. His wife had confined herself in the suite as soon as they arrived, she might be bored already. "Change your clothes. Or do you want to take a quick shower?"
"A shower first!"
Tsubaki quickly opened her luggage and grabbed a white summer dress. She ran toward the bathroom like a child, earning Ren's delight and confusion.
Could she be so excited until all her exhaustion vanished?
Ren shrugged, he just took it as something normal.
In the bathroom, Tsubaki took a quick look at the dustbin. She sighed in relief when she saw a crumpled tissue covering the plastic bag containing all the kits. She took a quick shower and after she lightly spritzed herself in her favorite perfume, Tsubaki stepped out from the bathroom, a simple white dress fell gracefully until her knees. Her long and silky black hair fell below her waist.
"I'm done!"
Ren laughed heartily, he wrapped her in his arms as he breathed in her scent. He had done a good job in his meeting earlier so he just rewarded himself by hugging her. Although a bit reluctant, he let her go after a moment.
"Shall we go?"
"Yes!"
The husband and wife walked out from their suite, Ren dismissed the bodyguards. He just wanted to have a personal time with his wife. He brought her to the cafe on the ground floor first. Tsubaki seemed like she just wanted to eat desserts so he just comply with her. They would have dinner eventually later.
After placing their orders, Ren leaned comfortably against the chair. He smiled when he saw how she was smiling so sweetly at him, both of her hands supporting her chin.
"Why, sweetheart?" Ren chuckled, his gaze softened. "You look as if you're looking at me for the first time."
"No~" Tsubaki covered her mouth, trying not to giggle too much. "I just want to look at you, hubby, is that alright?"
Her husband had changed out of his formal wear. Right now, he was wearing a simple white shirt with three-quarter sleeves and a pair of beige chinos, perfectly fitting his long slender legs. Unlike his usual style, today he didn't tuck his shirt in, making him appeared more casual.
"You don't have to ask." Ren leaned over, he propped his elbows on the table as he peered at her delighted face. The corners of his eyes crinkled once his smile widened. "I've said once my face is exclusively for you."
Tsubaki pressed her hands firmly against her mouth, she bent down as her shoulders shook in an attempt to suppress her laugh. She knew they had been attracting envious and annoyed glances from the young ladies in the cafe but she just couldn't help it.
She was so happy.
As the husband and wife chatted in harmony while enjoying their desserts, a couple approached them from their side. The man was overjoyed as he took a clear look at the man in a white shirt.
"President Fuse, I didn't expect to see you here!"
His clear voice attracted the couple's attention, as well as the nearby diners. Ren lifted up his face, his smile vanished once he saw the man's face.
"You are?"
His indifferent tone caught the young man off guard, his girlfriend looked perplexed too when his enthusiasm got treated as nothing.
"I'm Isobe Shigure, the son of President Isobe of Isobe Property. I've always heard about you from my father. This is the first time for me to meet you, could I have the honor of dining with you? Maybe, we could talk about business?"
The young man was clearly couldn't contain his excitement despite Ren's cold attitude. He was so full of energy as he continuously spoke.
"I'm here for a vacation with my wife so I'd appreciate it if you didn't interrupt us," Ren replied once the young man finished speaking, he wasn't bother to give the young man some face.
The smile on Isobe Shigure's face grew stiff. He had heard of how hard to approach this formidable man but he didn't expect to be this hard!
The situation turned awkward.
Tsubaki was baffled with the way her husband reacted to the younger man. She quickly stepped in, trying to appease the seething young man. It wasn't good to have enemies!
"I'm sorry, Mr. Isobe but we're sorry to decline your invitation," Tsubaki looked at him, her voice was soft as she tried to give an excuse on behalf on her husband. "My husband just got back from his work here so I hope he could just rest without thinking of more work. Is that okay?"
The young man gulped, he stiffly nodded his head. He understood what the man's wife was trying to say. It was like when his mother forbid his father from going to any social functions when he was exhausted from the company's matter.
Even though he knew the lady was just trying to calm the awkward situation.
"Then, I hope I could meet you in the future," the young man finally calmed down. "I'm sorry to disturb you, President Fuse, Mrs. Fuse."
Ren just gave him a small nod. Tsubaki smiled as she waved her hand apologetically to the young man and his girlfriend.
After the two of them left, Tsubaki stared at her husband's calm face. She squinted her eyes, trying to think of his two different faces - when he was with her and when he needed to interact with others.
They were completely different.
"Yes, sweetheart?" Ren finished his coffee, his eyes landed on her small face. "Do you want to say anything?"
"Uhuh." Tsubaki quickly shook her head. "Nothing."
Ren smiled crookedly. He knew what was going inside her mind.
