Rejected PregnancyHis dilemma

Abel's POV

I just returned from Italy after spending a year to get my head together after major surgeries and a heartbreak I got from Angela.

*****

I was in a relationship with Angela, the Mayor's daughter for years. When I was in hospital due to my lung surgery, she hardly visited to know how I was recuperating. If I called to hear from her, she would give the excuse that she was busy with work. Upon my discharge from the hospital, I realized that she was seeing another person.

On confronting her, she broke up with me instantly without any tangible excuse except that she didn't want anything to do with a sick man. That was a girl I loved and wanted to propose to. My heart was broken which made me swear that I would never date a girl from a wealthy family and would never fall in love again.

To clear myself of the bad experience given to me by Angela. I decided to travel out of the country for a one-year course which improved my intellectual qualifications and experience, placing me higher than my colleagues.

I was feeling great as I stepped back into the hospital vicinity to resume work. Before returning to Anchorage, I made it a duty to let myself know that I had the power. I would not let any woman get my heart broken again. It was scarier than knowing your heart would be cut open during surgery.

******

A few days after my arrival, my cousin Benita called up that she was coming over to pick up the gift I brought back from Italy. I told her to come over to the hospital since I had dropped the gift at the hospital. She responded that she was on her way, so I waited at the office.

Later I was called to attend to a VIP patient. I went to do that. On my way back, I was instructing Nurse Kenneth on how to handle some things when I saw her stepping out of My cousin's car. She dressed up in a white tracksuit and white sneakers. Her hair was let loose as it danced to the tone of the breeze which blew it around in different directions. There was no makeup on her face but her skin was gleaming like the evening sun. She was like an Angel sent down directly to earth. I had met girls but none was as pretty as her. I got stuck in my tracks as I admired what my eyes were seeing.

"Oh my heavens, what a beauty", escaped my lips.

I got carried away staring at her. As I forced myself to pull my eyes away, I realized that she was staring at me as well. I felt my heartbeat change its tone as I got hypnotized by her eyes. It seemed like I was taken to another dimension.

"Hey there, talking about the devil” I heard my cousin’s voice. That jerked me back to reality.

“Bestie, come on let me introduce you guys".

She almost pushed me forward to get my legs functioning again. I kept staring from my cousin to her until she dragged me close enough.

I didn't seem to be myself until Benny, my cousin brought me back as she reacted teasingly.

"Hello handsome, do you happen to be admiring someone here?" she asked with a serious note.

Carried away, I smiled and said, "Do you blame me? Come on, it's not my fault if the heavens created someone with extraordinary beauty".

My head turned to stare at her with a smile. I lost count of time and words then my cousin made a sound bringing me back to reality yet again.
