My Willow Man (Book 1&2) (Unedited)

CHAPTER 35

"DARLING? ARE you okay?" Sandro said habang kumakatok sa pintuan ng kwarto ko.

"Hi...I bought you soup and medicine" He said habang palapit sa akin.

"Hi darling...I'm so sorry.. masama lang talaga ang pakiramdam ko" I said habang umuubo.

I feel so sick.

May lagnat, ubo at sipon ako.

Ang putla ko din and ang gulo gulo ng buhok ko.

"It's okay darling... I should cancel the conference tomorrow in Kuala Lumpur" He said habang hinahawi ang buhok ko.

"No darling... ano ka ba. Trabaho naman yung pupuntahan mo doon eh" I said.

"But 3 days darling. That's 3 days na hindi tayo magkasama" He was pouting.

Napangiti naman ako.

I caress his face and then he kissed my palm.

"You'll be fine darling... it's only 3 days and may skype naman eh" I said.

"You need to do your own thing... okay?" He nodded.

"I'll email you the papers that you will be needing and please darling... wear a suit and tie" Nakahiga na sya sa tabi ko.

He gazed at me kahit sobrang putla ko na and I am full of mucus.

"Yes ma'am" He said.

"You know you looked so sexy right now" He was trying to seduce me.

Jusko.

Yung jowa ko, may sakit na ako at lahat na pero ang apakalandi pa rin..

Atleast maganda pa rin ako sa mga mata nya.

Hihihi.

He leaned over to kiss me...

"Ops. No..." I refused.

"Whyyyyy?" He protested.

"Paano kung bigla kang magkasakit doon ha?" He pouted then smiled.

"I love you." Hinalikan nya naman ako sa noo.

"I love you too" I smiled.

The next morning maaga palang tinawagan na ako ni Sandro.

"Darling, boarding na sa plane. I'll call you on skype when I get there. Please feel better. I love you" He said thru phone.

"Mag-iingat ka doon darling. I love you too" I responded.

I felt better. na. Wala na din akong lagnat, ubo at sipon na lang.

Baka na-love sick lang talaga ako kay Sandro.

Bigla naman tumawag sa akin si Anna saying that she needed some help sa office, tamang tama naman, may kailangan ako kunin sa office ni Sandro.

I got there and she was in chaos.

"You okay cuz?" I asked her.

"No... Hindi ko mahanap yung file ng audit report for the cash for work program last month sa Sarrat."

She was panicking.

Nagkalat din ang files ni Simon.

"Okay... relax.. have you checked the emails?" I asked her.

"I did... pero wala talaga cuz... anong gagawin ko?" Parang naiiyak na sya.

"Ask the audit department for the archive of the report. Probably may copy pa sila nun. Ipa-verify mo lang ulit kay sir Simon" I suggested.

Huminga naman sya ng malalim then nodded at me.

"Where is he by the way?" I asked.

"Nasa meeting with sir BBM" She said habang nakaupo na.

"Thank goodness you're here cuz... Di ko talaga alam anong gagawin ko" She was tearing up na.

"Okay... stop crying na"

"You got this" I told her.

"Yeah... I'm sorry about the tears... it's the hormones... first day" She smiled then wiped her tears.

Hormones?

First day?

Menstruation?

Then it hit me.

I haven't had my period for 6 weeks na.

OMG.

I was panicking inside na.

Sh*t Sh*t Sh*t.

Agad naman ako pumunta sa pinaka-malapit na pharmacy sa HQ.

I discretly bought 3 pregnancy tests just to be sure.

Iba ibang brands.

I went back sa HQ and dumiritso na sa CR.

I locked myself sa pinaka-last na cubicle.

Then I peed on one of the sticks.

"Okay...Althea...relax"

I whispered to myself.

Naghintay naman ako ng 3 minutes and...

BOOM!

A big fat positive...

No

No

No

Baka expired lang yung nagamit ko.

I was trying to convince myself and I peed on another two pregnancy tests.

Both of the results came back positve.

Kaya pala bigla akong nagkasakit.

Bigla akong naging moody.

Napaupo naman ako sa toilet, how will I tell this to Sandro?

We've been going out for only 7 months.

Baka hindi pa sya handa, tatakbo pa syang congressman ng Ilocos eh, baka makasira pa to sa pangalan nila.

Baka maging issue pa to para kay BBM.

Anong gagawin ko?

Hindi ako makapag-isip ng maayos.

I found myself na naglalakad papuntang pantry para kumuha ng tubig at makakain.

"Althea? Are you okay?" I heard someone talk pero di ko pinansin.

Ang lalim pa rin ng iniisip ko.

After I took a bottle of water and isang tinapay bigla naman akong may nabangga.

"Althea!" I dropped everything.

Yung tubig, yung tinapay and my bag.

Lumabas naman sa bag ko yung dalawang pregnancy tests.

Oh no.

Baka may makakita, I was about to grabbed it when someone else did.

I was speechless when I saw who it was.

"You're pregnant?"

Simon asked as he hold the pregnancy tests in front of me.
