"Is this real?" tanong ni Aida sa'kin na kanina pa nakatitig sa'kin with a confused expression.

Halatanf halata 'rin ang pagka-bigla niya sa rebelasyon ko sa kanya about sa sitwasyon ko ngayon.

Hindi siya makapaniwala, everything was just too fast for her.

It's funny, kasi ako dapat ang nag-iisip n'on, but here I am.

"Yes, this is real, Aida,"

I laughed because of her expression.

Huminga siya nang malalim kasama ang mga mata niyang lumawak sa sagot ko.

Ilang beses ko na 'to nasabi sa kanya pero hindi pa 'rin talaga siya makapaniwala, this has to be the biggest shocking revelation in the whole Diamante family history, ever.

It's just surprising, no one saw it coming, kahit ako and even Ares, we didn't know that it's gonna happen.

Dahan-dahan niyang kinuha ang upuan malapit sa may vanity ko at inilagay 'yon sa gilid ng kama ko, umupo siya sa upuan at inayos ang kanyang buhok sabay pikit nang mga mata niya.

"How... how... how is it even possible, Genevieve? It's too fast!" she said, opening both of her eyes to face me again with a strange composure and presence from her.

Hindi ko mapigilang mapa-ngisi sa sinabi niya. I understand, I understand that it's shocking and it might be pretty fast, but what can I say?

Best things always happen in the most unexpected timings.

And this is one of them.

"You're pregnant for god's sake! Genevieve!" she pause, taking another deep breath.

Inilapit ang sarili niya sa'kin habang palaki lang nang palaki ang ngiti ko.

Kahit ako ay gulat 'din, Aida. It was shocking to me that it took a week to recover from this. It was weird, so strange dahil buntis ako.

I am pregnant, at isa lang naman ang nag-iisang ama ng magiging anak ko.

"I know, I know! Aida, calm down--"

"How can I calm down? How is it even possible? Alam mo ba ang mangyayari kapag lumabas 'to sa media? Reporters! Businessmen! Celebrities! Ang daming pwedeng sabihin about sa balita na 'to! Genevieve, I swear!" natahimik na lang ako sa sinabi niya.

Once again, I understand and tama si Aida. Me and Ares are both related to two different families who are empires in some way.

Kilalang kilala ang pamilya na'ming dalawa, so this, is concerning in a way too.

A Diamante, and a Cardoza.

"When?" she suddenly asked.

My eyebrow raised dahil sa bigla niyang tanong, halata 'rin sa itsura niya ang pagod which was strange again.
