A brand new day. Monday na naman. I'm heading to work alone Pagod kasi misis ko. Alam nyo na, nangulit ako kagabi bago matulog. Dahil sa kahinaan nya ko, she let me do the thing Ewan ko ba. I went straight to the dining area to have my coffee.

"Good morning sir, Kain na po kayo." Bati ni Manang Ising. Yaya niya sa skin.

"Sige po."while eating my phone beeped. It was Sef, hindi na ako nagpatumpik pang sumagot.

"Hello"

"Hi good morning moe. Gising na ba si buntit?" Tanong nya.

He checked the time. 6:30 palang. Maya pang 8 magigising yun.

"Nope. why?

"This is about your wedding sana. I've talked to Chesca, Yung hinire kong wedding planner. She wants to meet you daw, para malatag na lahat ng designs sa church and reception. Buti nalang 30 pa wedding nyo." He explains.

"Ah ganun ba, sige I'll be late sa work nalang. Gigisingin ko na sya."

"Sigurado ka?" Sef ask worriedly. Monday pa naman ngayon and he know Elmo's the one who manage their resto.

"Yes naman. Syempre nakakahiya naman sayo kung IKaw nalang lagi kumakausap sa kanila. As the groom
and bride, we want na kami mismo ang pupunta dun."

"Wow, moe. Ikaw ba yan?" He said unbelievably. He knows how hands Elmo is sa mga bagay-bagAy.

He ended the call and went straightly to the bedroom to wake julie up.

"Babe, babe gising na." Gising ko sa kanya pero hindi nya narinig. Tulog mantika tong fiancée ko. Hinayaan ko nalang.

I took a shower para paggising nya, aalis nalang kami.

Julie's POV

I woke up having a great feeling. Another day has arrive. Si baby kaya nasan? I fixed my hair. Naka messy bun Lang ito. I faced the mirror. Nanlaman ako ng onti.

"Waaaaaaaahhhhh"

Elmo run as fast as he could just to see what's happening with her. Mahirap na buntis sya. Clumsy kaya non.

"Babe what's the matter?" He asked. "May masakit ba sayo? Tell me."

I really love Elmo. His so responsible even though we're both 20 palang. Bata pa ba? Bata kase namin lumandi. De joke. Maybe we're just so in love with one another.

"Hon-" napatingin sya sakin. We're staring each other. "Mataba na ba ako?"

He laughed at what I've said. Siguro mataba nga ako. "Oh why are you crying?"

"Yung to-totoo. Ma-mataba na ngak ako. WAaaaaaaahhhh" iyak ko pa.

"Shhhh. Stop crying, Ayoko ng Umiiyak ka." Sabay pAhid ng luha ko. I don't why I feel like this. They said dala ng pregnancy, or maybe I'm not use with my body figure. Dati kase I use to visit gym 2-3 times a month. Hay bAhala na. He's hugging me from aback. Hinawakan nya tummy ko.

"Nanay, wag ka ng iyak please. Makakasama yan kila Ellie and Quade. Avoid crying na please. Papangit ka nyan."

She punched my stomach. Aray. I admit kasalanan ko. Ako ata naglilihi ba't ganun?

"Ikaw kase eh. Lagi mo nalang ako inaasar."

"Sorry po!✌️"

"Halika na. Sef called me awhile ago. Sabi nya May meeting daw tayo with the coordinator."

"Okay." I went out of the bed and have my shower. Then we went to our meeting place.
