Chapter 43: HE DID NOT HAVE THE RIGHT
Calix saw how Dante’s face brightened up on hearing that the woman that he is so obsessed with, is pregnant with his child. But it was a pity that that woman, is not his. And what he was about to tell next would be a sharp slap of this reality. "Boss, and she had booked an appointment for tomorrow, at a clinic. For abortion purpose."
And just like he imagined. Dante’s whole body froze, and his smile went stiff, as if a bucket of cold icy water has been splashed on him. He stood there standing in blankness for a while, before he sat back down. His entire demeanor darkly empty and he said, "I understand." But in reality, what he was wanting was to rush back to her and hold her and stop her. But did he have the right to do that? No.
Dante had the plan to approach her in a few days, and admit the truth about themselves. He had given themselves time. And he did not want each other to be left like that. But after whatever chaos happened today, especially with what happened with his father despite the security, he realised that he wasn’t ready now. Dove? That unknown young lady, he hadn’t even talked to even once. She had made him so crazy about her, that he just want to give her the best of best. She was like a crystal ball of light in his dark abyss world, that he was chasing. And not only chasing but wanting to keep safe and treasure it.
And right now, his logical and conscious side was telling him not to approach her. Because right now, his world was a chaos. He couldn’t bring her close to him, to put her in danger. He want to put all his time and energy in her. And what avoided him from going to her even more, was that child in her womb. Dante might have felt excited when he heard the news. Because she was Dove?
But after hearing that she was considering abortion, he could only imagine what trauma she might be facing right now. After all, she is a young lady, who is just suppose to start her life. But she is now pregnant with a child, she doesn’t even know whose it is.
Dante was so torn at this point. He wanted to go and approach her! He wanted to make her his! He wanted her so bad! But despite that, he was binded. If he listened to his heart, he knew he would put her in danger. And thus, he did not want that.
If she really wanted that... he did not have any right to put any objection in it. Who was he after all? He couldn’t end her life. And create more hatred for himself in her heart.
Calix looked at his Boss, who had gone completely silent and though he did not know what he was thinking. He knew one thing, and that was that the man was torn between his emotions, with everything happening in his life altogether.
