Semua Bab SERAH'S PAIN: Bab 11 - Bab 20

Serah’s POV I spent the entire day just glued to the television, trying to distract my mind from the endless thoughts that kept threatening to drag me down. I needed something, anything to keep me from breaking again. I won’t lie, it’s been really hard, but I know I have no choice but to carry on with my life. I have to move forward, no matter how slow or painful the steps are. With a deep breath, I take my phone and begin deleting every single photo I ever took with Brian. Every message, every call log, gone. I wanted nothing that reminded me of him lingering in my life anymore. That chapter is over, and it’s time I close it for good. Brian no longer has a place in my heart or in my future. Time passed quickly, and before I knew it, the sun had already dipped below the horizon. Evening had come. I remembered Mia had told me she might come home late today. I didn’t know where she had gone, but I was going to get it out of her the moment she stepped through that door. I was her si

Serah's POV I had been walking for what felt like ten minutes, and still, there was no sign of any vehicle in sight. My legs were growing weak beneath me, and I was beginning to feel dizzy from the heat and hunger gnawing at my stomach. “It’s better if I sit now before I pass out,” I mutter to myself, glancing around the empty roadside. “I feel so hungry... I just hope a miracle happens and I get home soon.” The road was quiet, almost deserted. There wasn’t a single bench or even a large stone I could use to rest. I sighed deeply, my hand instinctively rubbing my belly. I wish Mia was here with me. If she were, I know none of this would be happening. She always found a way, always knew what to do. "Maybe I should call her," I think aloud, reaching into my handbag to retrieve my phone. But then I pause. “No... perhaps she’s busy right now. I don’t want to worry her unnecessarily,” I say as I tuck the phone back into my bag. I’m a grown woman, I can take care of myself. Mia is worki

Serah’s POV I’m suddenly woken up by a sharp, stabbing pain in my waist. My eyes snap open, and I quickly sit up in bed, clutching my side. The pain is intense, raw and unbearable. It feels exactly like labor pains. “No... not now. I still have one more week left,” I whisper, my voice trembling in confusion and fear. The pain subsides for a few minutes, just enough to catch my breath, but then it returns, stronger than before. I can't stay in bed anymore. I swing my legs off the side and slowly get up. My body is shaking, and my hands tremble as I reach for my phone. I dial Mia’s number immediately. She doesn’t pick up. I call her again, and again, still no answer. Panic starts to set in. My breathing becomes shallow, and my heart races. “Why isn’t she answering?” I whisper to myself. “Why now, when I need her the most?” I walk around the room restlessly, the pain pulsing in waves through my body. I just hope my water doesn't break before I get to the hospital. I try to think cle

Raphael's POV I’m overwhelmed with relief and gratitude, Serah had a safe delivery. That was all I had been praying for. Knowing that both she and the baby are safe is all that truly matters to me. Serah and I have grown incredibly close over time. I’ve been there for her throughout her entire pregnancy. Every time she needed something, whether it was a ride, a hand to hold, or someone to talk to, she called me. And I showed up. I always showed up. The truth is, I’ve had feelings for her for a long time. But I chose to bury those feelings deep down, fearing that revealing them would ruin the friendship we’ve built. She had already been through so much, especially with Brian. I remember the night she opened up to me about how he denied the pregnancy. How he shattered her heart. Brian... He is heartless. It pains me just thinking about the torment he put her through. Knowing that Serah reached such a low point that she considered ending her life, it breaks me. She never deserved that

Mia’s POV I wake up feeling absolutely terrible. My head was pounding, and it felt like a thousand drums were playing inside it. The events of last night kept haunting me. Brandon’s unexpected visit had completely shattered the little peace I was trying to build. I didn’t sleep a wink. I kept tossing and turning, my mind racing with questions and emotions I couldn’t quiet. Despite the heaviness in my body and soul, I force myself to get out of bed. I was exhausted, both physically and emotionally, but I knew I had to pull myself together, Serah was waiting for me at the hospital, and I couldn't keep her waiting any longer. Dragging my feet, I head into the bathroom for a quick shower. The warm water soothes my tense muscles and washes away some of the stress. After getting dressed, I head to the kitchen and prepare a light breakfast. I wasn't really hungry, but I needed the energy. I eat slowly, trying to calm the storm brewing inside me. Just as I reach for the door, ready to leav
