Cruel Destiny

Natasha POV

I sighed and closed my tired eyes for some seconds after completing my second cup of coffee.

My hand went to my four months pregnant belly which was well hidden underneath a hoodie.

I am now showing and I don't want to show this to anyone or want anyone to know that I am pregnant.

I had done that one time and got a lot of disappointed stares along with some glare.

Let's not forget the 'slut' and 'whore' comments. It hurt me and still, it hurts.

But I couldn't stop these comments. So I had just let it go and tried to ignore them.

I had also found a night job as a bartender in a club after searching for a week.

It was not that bad. I mean I get a lot of bad comments but I had to do that for my child.

The distance was 45 minutes away from my house and I had to reach there at 10 p.m.

I always reach home at 6:30 pm so I have 3 hours to sleep then I would have to go to the club at 3 a.m.

It was very difficult for me to walk back home at that time as the streets and alleys were covered with darkness.

And I had a feeling that someone is following me. I wanted to leave that job but I can't as I have to pay bills and have to save some money for my baby.

So I don't have any time to sleep and coffee is the only thing that keeps me awake.

I drink at least 5 cups of coffee in a day and sometimes 6 cups as I have to keep myself conscious.

And now here I am sitting on a chair in the restaurant where I am working.

It was lunch break so only a few people were sitting and having their food while chatting with their loved ones.

It reminded me of my first date. I was so excited and nervous that day.

I wish I could change my past so that I didn't have to sleep at night while soaking my pillow with tears.

I didn't hear anything from him and I know he won't call me but I just couldn't convince my poor heart which was hurting.

"You shouldn't drink coffee when you are pregnant, dear" A voice snapped me out of my thoughts.

I opened my eyes and saw a lady who was probably in her early 50s standing in front of me.
