Ang bigat ng pakiramdam ko pagkagising ko. Ang sakit ng ulo ko. At higit sa lahat, kelan pa ko nasuka sa amoy ng longganisa at fried rice sa umaga? enebeyen.
Two months na kami ni Kiefer. Smooth sailing yung relationship namin. Masaya lang. Chill. Less stress. Hindi kase controlling si Kief na boyfriend. Isang hiling mo lang basta kaya niyang ibigay, ibibigay niya.
The whole miefer world already knew that we ended up being with each other. Sabi nga ni Kiefer, kung tadhana na ang gumana, wala ka ng magagawa. And I believed him. Who would have thought that in the end, it will still be us?
From the different sides of college world. Collegiate rivals to sweethearts. Unlike fairytales, my story was true. Not just an illusion. Not just a fiction.
I stood up the bed, monday at work na naman after the long vacay during the holy week. We went to Isla Reta, the island Kiefer acquired two months back. Andun lahat. Family namin and ang buong bullies. Kailan daw kami magpapakasal at naiinip na sila. Bakit ba sila hindi makapag-antay?
I immediately ran after standing up. Ano bang nakain ko at biglang nag-alburoto ang tyan ko. I was thinking kung ano nakapagpasama ng tyan ko. Was it the scallops that we ate? or was it the pizza i had before i went to sleep?
"Babe, ilang months kanang walang dalaw?", Nagulat ako. Kaloka tong si Kiefer. Bigla-bigla na lang sumusulpot.
"1 month, two weeks. Normal sa akin yun. Delayed kase talaga ako mag mens."
"Pero babe, ngayon ka lang kase sumuka ng ganitong umaga.", napaisip ulit ako. Pero dahil lang naman to sa kinain ko kagabi eh.
"Either sa scallops or pizza to na kinain ko kagabi, Bee."
"Kumain din naman ako ng mga yun, pero hindi naman sumama tyan ko. Ano pa nararamdaman mo?", he inquired.
"Wala na. Okay na ako. Mejo nahihilo na lang."
Lumapit siya sa akin para alalayan ako pabalik sa bed namin. Galing siya sa kitchen at nagluto ng brrakfast namin.
Tumakbo ulit ako sa banyo para maduwal. Bwisit naman to. Anong nangyayari sa akin??
"Bakit ka ba amoy bawang, Bee?!!", i was irritated. Lalapit-lapit sa akin, amoy bawang naman. Asar. At kailan pa ako nainis at nasuka sa amoy ng bawang???
The realization started to sink in. I was delayed for 1 month and two weeks. I was feeling different this morning and I was irritated by the smell of the garlic. Im no idiot not to get it. I thought i was pregnant.
I automatically smiled. The thought of carrying our baby in my tummy was just indescribable. But I came up a decision that i wont tell it to Kief. Well, not just yet. :)
"Okay ka lang, Babe?", ang cute ng jowa ko. Lumake ang ilong kakaaalala sa kalagayan ko. hhahahahaha. Oooppss. Waist lungs, kelan ko pa napagdiskitahan ang ilong nito?
I pinched his nose as soon as he came closer. Hahahaha. Ang cute kase.
"Babyyyy. Araaaaay!", he shouted. Hahahahaha. Supeeeer cute!
I didnt tell Kiefer that i already think i was pregnant. Not until i was sure I was.
After he sent me to the office, nagmadali ako pgpunta sa office ni Cienney. "Baks, goodmorning."
"Oh dai, goodmorning. Kamusta? Done with breakfast?"
"Yup. But I puked."
She looked at me immediately. I think she have gotten the idea that fast. She smiled and ask if may laman na ba.
"I am not sure yet. Havent had any tests yet. Even PT. And Kiefer doesnt know yet. Not until I am sure i am pregnant." ahaba kong explanation. "Baka kase umasa yun, tapos wala pala."
"We'll go to my OB today, Ye. God! You dont know how excited I am. Ill cancel all my meetings today. No important ones naman."
"Thanks, Cienne. Ill call Ara na din. Para sabay na kami pacheck. She told me earlier, she has pre natal check up daw, di ba pareho kayo ng doctor?", i asked.
"Yup. Magpapasched tayo today, para may slot ka."
I went home early. After ng check up ngdecide akong di nabumalik sa office. I called kiefer and informed him na he didnt need to pick me up later pag-uwi kase umuna na ako.
Inayos ko yung nga pinamili ko. Excited ako. Ttagal naman ni Kiefer. Time check, 4:56pm. Ilang minutes na lang andito na yun. Umuwi kase agad siya nung sinabi kong masama ang pakiramdam ko at kailangan ko ng mauna.
Ready na yung pinamili ko. Nasan na kaya siya? i was about to cll him para iask kung nasaan na siya pero may nagdoorbell. Siya na to. Isa lang kase ang susi namin kaya nasa akin lang talaga ang susi ng unit.
Nagmadali ako. Kinuha ko yung binili kong cake. Opo. I bought a cake earlier before ako umuwi kase isusurprise ko siya.
I opened the door with a big smile and a cake on my hands.
He kissed me first in the cheek and he looked at the cake.
He was teary eyed. Ans so am I. Happiness is the reason. He looked at the cake once again and his tears started falling.
"Welcome home, TATAY!", was the message on the cake. Kiefer is no slow not to get the message.
We have talked about this already. Na ang gusto naming itawag sa amin ng baby namin ay "nanay at tatay". We find it classic and sweet.
But the surprise wasnt done yet. I picked up something in my pants' pocket and showed it to him.
He cried hard as he saw the prenancy test kit with two red lines and a picture of a small embrio in an ultra sound screenshot.
Kinuha niya ang cake at he put in the nearby table. And he hugged me while crying. He wasnt saying even a word but it wasnt needed at the moment.
"I love you, Babe. I love you!"
