Episode 5

"Agatha…" someone called, reaching out their hand.

Agatha looked up to see the owner of the hand. She was surprised to see a handsome man standing before her, his hand outstretched.

"Rekhas?" she murmured.

"Let me help you up," Rekhas offered.

Agatha immediately took his hand and gripped it. Rekhas then helped her stand.

"Are you hurt?" Rekhas asked softly.

Agatha shook her head slowly. She was incredibly nervous to be facing Rekhas. He was her senior back in college and also her crush. Rekhas was handsome, intelligent, and kind. It was no wonder many female students had a crush on him. He was also the head of the Student Executive Board, actively socializing. Nobody knew that Rekhas was the son of the university owner.

"I'm sorry, I didn't see you there," said Rekhas, gazing at Agatha, who had her head bowed.

"No, Rekhas, it's not your fault. I should be the one apologizing for not looking where I was going," replied Agatha nervously.

Rekhas chuckled softly, seeing Agatha's nervousness, which looked adorable to him. In truth, Rekhas also had feelings for the woman before him. Her beautiful and innocent face, along with her polite demeanor, made him fall in love at first sight. But unfortunately, every time he wanted to confess his feelings, Agatha seemed to avoid him, making him hold back from asking her to be his girlfriend.

"Well then, it's both our faults. Let's call it even," said Rekhas.

Agatha gave a small, awkward smile.

"Who are you here with?" asked Rekhas, his head turning left and right, looking for someone who might be with Agatha.

"With Fara," answered Agatha.

Rekhas nodded in understanding.

Not long after, a beautiful woman approached them and clung to Rekhas's arm.

"Honey…" the woman called in a sweet voice.

Rekhas merely glanced at her flatly, not bothering to respond.

"Who is she, honey?" the woman asked Rekhas.

"She's-"

"Agatha!" Fara shouted, calling Agatha over. Agatha turned and waved at her.

"Rekhas," greeted Fara.

"Hmm," responded Rekhas, clearing his throat. He glanced at Fara briefly before returning his gaze to Agatha.

"Are you done, Far?" asked Agatha.

"Yes, just need to pay at the cashier," replied Fara.

"Okay, let's go pay then," said Agatha, pulling Fara's hand to quickly move away from Rekhas. For some reason, Agatha felt a little uncomfortable with the woman's sudden clingy behavior toward Rekhas.

"But Tha, you haven't chosen your clothes yet," said Fara.

"I can look for them elsewhere," replied Agatha, then hurriedly walked away.

"Rekhas, we'll be going first," said Fara to Rekhas.

"Hmm, be careful," replied Rekhas flatly.

After Agatha and Fara had walked away, Rekhas immediately released Viona's hand from his arm.

The woman was Viona, a famous model who was infatuated with Rekhas. Wherever Rekhas went, Viona would always follow.

"Know your limits, Viona!" said Rekhas in a cold and firm voice.

"Why, Re? Do you like that girl?" guessed Viona.

"None of your business," retorted Rekhas, then walked away, leaving Viona behind.

"Re… Wait!" shouted Viona, calling after Rekhas as she ran to catch up to him.

…

"Tha, what's wrong?" asked Fara, her face full of confusion.

"It's nothing," replied Agatha curtly.

"Are you sure?" pressed Fara.

"Yes, come on, let's go home. I'm exhausted," said Agatha, changing the subject.

"But are you sure you don't want to look for clothes first, Tha?" she asked again.

Agatha shook her head slowly. After encountering Rekhas and seeing Viona clinging to the man of her dreams, Agatha's mood suddenly soured. She wanted to go home and rest immediately, especially since lately, she had been feeling unwell with nausea every morning.

"Are you sick again, Tha? Why are you so pale? I thought you were fine earlier. Let's go see a doctor," said Fara, touching Agatha's forehead.

"What are you talking about? I'm fine, just tired. I want to go home and rest," replied Agatha, brushing Fara's hand away.

"Are you sure you don't want to see a doctor first? You're very pale, Tha," said Fara, concerned about her friend's condition.

"Yes, Far, come on, let's go home," said Agatha, pulling Fara's hand and leading her out of the mall.

They had only taken two steps when Agatha suddenly collapsed, unconscious. Fortunately, Rekhas, who had been standing not far from them, swiftly caught her, preventing her from hitting the floor. Rekhas immediately lifted Agatha and carried her down to the basement parking lot where his car was parked. Fara followed closely behind.

In his worry for Agatha, Rekhas even forgot about Viona, whom he had left behind in the jewelry store. She didn't even realize Rekhas had left her.

Once they reached the basement, Rekhas immediately asked Fara to open the car door.

"Quickly, open the door," Rekhas instructed Fara.

"Yes," replied Fara, panicking as she opened the backseat door.

Carefully, Rekhas laid Agatha down on the passenger seat.

"Get in and stay with Agatha," said Rekhas without looking at Fara.

Fara nodded and quickly got into the car, sitting beside Agatha. She then lifted Agatha's head onto her lap.

Afterward, Rekhas rushed around the car and got into the driver's seat. He quickly drove his car out of the mall's basement parking lot and headed towards the hospital.

"Tha, what happened to you? You suddenly fainted like this…" murmured Fara softly, stroking Agatha's forehead.

Rekhas glanced at Agatha through the rearview mirror. He was also panicking to see her unconscious like this. However, he tried to remain calm.

After a 15-minute drive, they finally arrived at the nearest hospital. Rekhas rushed out and carried Agatha again. Fara continued to follow closely behind.

"Doctor… Help…" shouted Rekhas, calling for medical assistance.

The nurse, seeing Rekhas arriving while carrying an unconscious woman, rushed towards him, pushing a gurney.

Rekhas immediately laid Agatha down on the gurney. The nurse then swiftly pushed the gurney towards the emergency room.

"Please wait outside," said the nurse while closing the emergency room door.

Rekhas nodded in understanding. He then sat down next to Fara, who was also sitting on a waiting chair provided in front of the room. Both were extremely worried about Agatha's condition.

Not long after, a middle-aged female doctor emerged from the emergency room.

*Click*…

Rekhas and Fara immediately rose from their seats and approached the doctor.

"How is she, doctor?" asked Rekhas.

"Are you her husband?" asked the doctor.

"No, doctor," replied Rekhas.

"Where is the patient's husband? We have good news to deliver. The patient is pregnant, and the gestational age is 12 weeks," explained the doctor.

"P-Pregnant, doctor?" exclaimed Rekhas and Fara simultaneously.
