Through You

CHAPTER THIRTYTHREE - Snowman

~Kylie

"I don't get it, I am not allowed to go to work, but I am allowed to go shopping?" I frown at Ruru as he swivels the car around. I am home for almost two days now, my body is craving for some action, mas magkakasakit ako ng walang ginagawa!

"I told you, strict bed rest for two days, gentle movements for two days!" Ruru says, laughing in between.

"I can be gentle at Encantadia, I don't see the point na sobrang OA mo and hello, Roan, Ano naman gagawin natin dito, We have a personal shopper, For crying out loud." Sabi ko dito, totoo naman, ang dami ko pa ngang parcel na hindi naoopen sa bahay. Mga pinadala ng mga sikat na brands that all I need to do is post on my instagram account!

"Yes, pero do you have a personal shopper, Ha baby." He leans in to my tummy.

"Roan, eyes on the road!" I say laughing. Buti nalang at mabagal ang takbo ng byahe dahil sa traffic.

"What, wag kang mag alala, traffic." Sabi nya sakto naman at nag pula.

"Now gets mo na bat tayo andto? Walang personal shopper si Baby!" Sabi nya sakin saka nginitan ako.

I felt exhilarated. So that's what we're here for? Para mag shopping ng baby clothes?

"Saka, gusto ko bumili ulit nung pajama na nasira ko last time, pag lumabas si Baby, papasuot agad natin yun. Panget naman if may sira yung sakin diba?" Sabi nya saka umandar. Nakalimutan ko na nga yon, Oo nga pala, Bumili sya ng matching outfits namin.

"Wait, parang pang toddler na yung binili mong PJs, hindi naman lalabas ng malaki si baby no! Walang ganong magic!" Sabi ko saka tumawa.

"Hindi ba pwede na yun agad ipasuot natin?" Tinignan ko sya ng maiigi, mukhang seryoso sya. Di ko tuloy alam kung sasagutin ko ba sya ng seryoso or pang joke time lang din?

Mga limang segundo ko sya tinignan ng maigi, hindi talaga sya nag sasalita ng joke lang, pinag patuloy nya pa din ang pag mamaneho.

"Hindi ka nag bibiro, seryoso ka sa tanong mo?" I ask, he looks at me and nodded, that's when I burst out laughing, God he is serious!

"Bakit mo ko tinatawanan, anong mali sa tanong ko." He is really serious, and I wanted to laugh again.

"Hindi pa pwede yon, Honey. Kaya nga may newborn clothes pa. His fragile little bones can get broken if pinilit natin na maisuot yung mga ganung bagay." I say, emphasizing the fragile word. Tama naman ako diba? I may not know a lot when it comes to parenting, pero I am hell as sure as any expectant mother, or this is the pregnancy brain clouding again?

"His?" Roan says, nilingon nya ako. Ay, oo nga pala. His ang nagamit kong pronoun.

"Why, I kinda hope that our baby is a boy so I get to keep a young version of you." I say wiggling my arms around.

"Well, I wanted a girl, para I don't have any competition on who gets to have you." He says, then smile and takes my hand and hold it.

"Anak mo yun, bat ka naman mag seselos." I say laughing.

"Anyway, a girl would be nice, I get to protect two women of my life." He says, don ko lang napansin na we had already reached the mall. Nag park muna sya saka kami lumabas pareho. He even won't allow me to go out unless he had opened the doors for me. Hello, I can move my hands just fine?

He opened the doors for me. Tumawag sya ng guard and I had to ask why.

"Papa kuha ako wheelchair." Okay, this is my signal, I went inside, ayokong mag mall ng naka wheel chair, tumawa sya saka binuksan ulit ang pintuan ng sasakyan, nilock ko to.
