Chapter Twenty Eight

"Sorry!" Natatawang sabi ni Pepper.

"Call us if you two are okay."

Inisang hilahan nya si Pepper palabas ng bahay. Nang maisara ang pinto, bumalatak sya ng tawa at may paghamas pa sa braso ni Zero.

"Oh my god! Walanghiya talaga si Allen!"

"I forgot to knock."

"Okay lang yan! Buntis na nga si Aliana, umiisa pa. Gago."

Naiiling iling pa sya. Sumandal si Zero sa railings at may maliit na ngiti.

"May pang asar na ako sa kanya." She purses her lips. "Bakit kaya ako puntirya ng Allen na yun."

"Pikon ka kasi,"

Umismid sya. "Eh ano magagawa ko? Tss."

The door opened, agad na ngumisi si Pepper nang bumaling doon. She had this sarcastic smirked on her lips as she steps inside the house. Walang emosyon si Allen na tumango kay Zero.

"What a morning, huh?"

"You didn't text me, Pepper."

"Sorry na. I wanted free breakfast kasi."

"You can order at the restaurant." Singit ni Allen.

"Kaya nga, pero mas mabuti na ang libre. And since your wife here is insisting to gave me food, I'll grab it nalang." Mapang asar nyang sabi.

"Nandito si Zero para magbayad."

"Just let her, she's tired." Sagot ni Zero at binati si Aliana.

"At ikaw, Allen."

"Not going to discuss it, normal ang nakita nyo at mag asawa kami."

"But she's pregnant." Umirap pa sya.

"Have a seat, Pepper." Sapilitan syang inupo ni Allen sa tabi ni Zero.

Kitang kita nya pa ang pamumula ng pisngi ni Aliana. But she still wanted to tease Allen, kaso nahihiya na si Aliana.

"Itago mo yang leeg mo. Makikita ni Allen."

Ang bilis nyang tinakpan ng buhok nya ang leeg kung saan naglagay ng hickey si Zero. Baka maging dahilan pa iyon para asarin sya uli.

Tahimik silang nag almusal na apat with baby Haven. She's making faces while playing with Haven whose lips were full of saliva.

Nang matapos silang kumain ng almusal, Pepper offered to wash the dishes. Lumabas naman ang dalawa na nag uusap.

"Aliana, you don't have to be shy."

"Hindi ka ba marunong kumatok?"

Natawa sya. "I... we actually forgot to knock." Aniya. "But don't worry, sabi nga ni Allen, normal kasi mag asawa kayo."

"God, I don't know how can I face you."

"Baliw ka! Okay lang, natatawa lang ako. But, was it safe to have sex even when your pregnant?"

"Allen asked my OB for that because... I hate to admit pero naglilihi ako kay Allen."

Pinunasan nya ang kamay at humarap kay Aliana.

"Pinaglililihan mo si Allen?"

"Yeah, you won't believe it."

Ngumiti si Pepper at tinapik ang balikat ni Aliana.

"I hope you're always safe, Aliana. We both... know that Allen is not a safe person."

"Alam ko naman. He also keep us safe."
