I stood there waiting for her to inform me of something different, but she doesn't say anything, on the contrary, she ignores me the whole time. I was about to explode, but then I manage to see the doctor who was going to conduct my study, so I run towards him.
"Doctor, please wait."
And I manage to catch up to him, reaching him with my heart in my hand. He looks at me as if surprised to see me, maybe. I take a deep breath before addressing him.
"Doctor, I apologize. I am the girl who made a medical appointment just for the study, and you left for a moment, but then another doctor arrived... and I wanted to know what results the sample gave me because I have never received the results."
He looks at me with wide eyes, it seemed that he was a little confused by all of this.
"Sir, the young lady is mistaken about the clinic, and I have already informed her, but she keeps insisting that she was here, I don't know if it's because she doesn't understand my language or something..."
I look at her wanting to insult her, so she stops being so dishonest.
"Oh, really... until you check the system, you can't prove that I was never here."
I say, pointing to the laptop. She thinks I'm a fool and that she will get away with it. I also didn't understand why she didn't want me to find the doctor who attended me last time. What did she gain from hiding that? Now I was convinced that this was where everything happened.
"Maria, the young lady is right; you should check the system to see if she was really not here. Moreover, now that I remember, she was here that day. When I returned to the room, she was no longer there... and I asked you what had happened to her. Do you remember?"
Maria freezes and doesn't know how to respond, so she informs us that we should go to a room where she explains everything. She informs me that the doctor had made a mistake that day and had inadvertently sent me away. That news hit me like a bucket of cold water; I just caress my belly, I already had an answer, I knew how I got pregnant. But who is the father?...
"Can I ask at least whose sperm it was... who is the father of my baby because if I'm pregnant and I don't know who the father is."
The doctor looks at me with embarrassment, and Maria doesn't know what to say. I never thought something like this would happen to me. And even less in a country where I don't have family. I arrived there with a dream, to help my parents, but now I'm pregnant, and I don't know who the father is.
"I'm sorry, miss, but I can't disclose that information for the safety of our clients."
I start crying, it's hard to know that... to know that because of a medical mistake, I am now burdened with this.
"Miss, the clinic will take responsibility for everything, and I am truly sorry that you are going through all of this."
At least there was someone who was kind and responsible. The doctor committed to being the one to oversee my pregnancy. After talking for a while with them, he took me to a room where I would hear my baby's heartbeat for the first time and see it. I felt a lot of fear and excitement. I was one of those people who said that I didn't want to get pregnant, and now I looked at myself with a baby growing inside me. It wouldn't be easy to raise it, but I would fight as much as I could. And hearing its heartbeat made me even more emotional than I already was. It made me happy.
The days spent at home passed quickly, but I also missed Camilo. Since the last time, he didn't come anymore. Maybe I scared him away with my crying that time.
When I arrived at the company, everyone looked at me, and I know why they do it. It's because my belly is showing now. Anyway, I don't care, so I lift my head and head towards the accounting department. Everything goes on as usual at work, days pass, and my belly continues to grow even more.
One day, I am with Alliz in the cafeteria, and we start hearing a conversation from the most gossipy people in the company. I start paying attention.
Imagine that I heard from the bosses that the company owner was out with his fiancee trying to have a baby, and it turns out that she loses the pregnancy after two months...and that has affected their relationship.
I am shocked, I knew he had a girlfriend or something like that, but I never thought he was about to get married and become a father too. Maybe that's why he reached out to me again, just because his wife was also pregnant. I feel a bit of pain, but I brought this upon myself, getting my hopes up so quickly...I knew there must be a reason he was doing this, it wasn't because he found me interesting, right Anna? I feel such anger and pain that it takes away my appetite.
"Are you okay, Anna?" Alliz asks, a little worried. I take her hand to show that I'm fine, but my mind is with Camilo. I need to see him and find out how he feels. Why do I keep repeating this behavior? It must be the hormones.
So, I go up to the top floor and it reminds me of the first time I was here. I reach the door and knock. No one answers, so I enter. I know it's not good for me to enter without permission, but I want to see him.
But I don't see him anywhere.
"He must be having lunch," I say, looking out the window. I stand there, just like the first time, but this time I sit on the couch. I want to see the city and it brings me so much peace. But before I know it, my eyes feel heavy and I lie down for a while...that couch feels so comfortable that I fall asleep right there.
