Chapter 27: Truth

Mindara Manaying

"Pie, there are so many other ways of getting a child for an adoption. I won't oppose you for the wish but seriously, you wanted it to be Yam's child?" Kimhan was about to lose her head. She had been pacing back and forth frantically, disturbed with the idea I'd been telling her. I knew it was a tough decision to make. There was no sign that she would agree with the request. This might be a dead end for everything.

"What's so wrong about it? Think it in a good way, Kimhan. We'll be adopting the unwanted child born from the woman you love. At least the child will be in the hand of someone responsible. I see no harm with that." I laid out the points just for her to see it in a clear perspective way.

Kimhan was somehow taken aback with that brief justification but it was not enough to change her mind. "Okay, look." Kimhan went in front of me and held both of my shoulders. I voluntarily looked up to her and our eyes locked there, making a secure connection. "I know that your intention is pure enough to reflect your kindness and generosity but no, we're not responsible to take care of the child."Kimhan said, shaking her head simultaneously.

"I guess it is harder for you to accept the fact that the rapist is someone you despise so much rather than having the child itself." I charged at her, causing Kimhan to retreat her hands from me. She moved to a side, avoiding a direct contact between us so that she could calm herself a bit.

"Pie, you have no idea of what you'll be dealing with." Kimhan sounded frustrated than she already was.

"Okay then. Could you at least presume it as a win-win situation?" Kimhan's attention was all drawn to my statement that she turned around to look at me again.

"What is that supposed to mean?" She raised an eyebrow, more of being curious than bothered. She had her arms pressed to her chest, waiting for me to respond.

"You took away everything from me the moment you decided to tie the knot despite my careless deed. Sooner or later, we could be divorced and have you ever thought how my life would turn out later on? What would those people say about me? I failed a lesbian marriage and desperately return to a normal life after you?" Bitterness enveloped me that all I could feel was anger had conquered my mind.

Kimhan sighed for the countless time upon listening to everything that I ranted to her. "Pie, if you think of giving such option will be the way to punish me, I beg you to reconsider your request and decision. Think about this in practical terms, you're making things more complicated than it already is. We had enough conflicts and disagreement. Why do you need to put us in the hot water over and over?" She uttered furious but managed to keep it at bay.

"I'm not making things complicated, Kimhan. I've narrowed the option so that you can finally decide." I snapped at her, noticing that my patience was growing thin.

"Am I not enough for you, Pie? We can live together; just the both of us without an involvement of a child or maybe you can have a child; just not that child." Kimhan did not want to give in either. Her eyes burnt with anger and her entire body language spoke that as well.

"Oh really? What about Yam? Where would she go after she gives birth to that baby? Back to you? And how are you going to justify that we could live together with just you and me?" Kimhan looked at me intently before she ran her gaze away, heaving a heavy sigh as she was defeated all at once. I was infuriated at the way Kimhan spoke as if nothing ever so wrong with her stand. How could she blindly presume that there will be only her and me in the future? How about Yam; her long lost lover who returned to claim what's hers?
