CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO
"What's happening with you?"
Reign walked in the apartment with so much elegance. Freedom was still supporting my mukha so it won't fall flat on the inidoro. Voight was minding his own business. Paminsan - minsan siyang lumalapit sa amin to talk to my anak.
She helped me get up. I'm done with pagsusuka, but my head is nahihilo. I don't think I can stand on my sarili. Nag-wait na lang kami sa pag-visit ni Reign.
"Did you eat something that upset your stomach?"
"No naman," I answered weakly.
"She a-ate something gross." Na-hear ko ang comment ni Voight na naka-follow sa amin patungo sa bedroom.
Inalalayan ako ni Reign hanggang makaupo ako sa side ng bed. Bumaling siya kay Voight. "Am I talking to you, young man?" Na-bite ko ang lip ko, pati ba naman ang kid? She's making patol.
It was the unang beses na hindi nakapag-talk back si Voight. He made tago on Freedom's likod.
"Kids, will you please leave us alone for a moment?" Reign asked the kids.
Freedom nodded, ni-kiss niya muna ang forehead ko bago binuhat si Voight palabas ng room. I pouted. Mukha naman akong batang pagagalitan ng friend ko. Duh, I already did gawa my own bata.
Her stares were like making me a subject in an eksperimento. Nakaka-intimidate talaga ang aura niya, buti na lang, we're friends. Maybe, ganoon talaga kapag broken souls, nakakahanap ng connection in each other.
"What kind of tingin is that ba?" Nag-cross ako ng arms sa chest part.
"Did you have sex?"
My forehead creased at her tanong. "Why are you interesado about my sex life, huh? May nag-spread ba na scandal? Dapat I'm gorgeous there." I made sabi.
If that's the kaso, wala na iyon for me. I have tarnished reputasyon already, why would I care about what other people would sabi? It's always sa girls ang sisi when scandals came out, and boys always got away with praises.
Well, as if naman hindi niya know, nag-tell ako sa kanya last dinner namin.
"You had sex," Reign concluded. "Now, you're having a morning sickness."
Nagsalubong naman ang brows ko. "There's a sickness in the umaga? Should I gising in tanghali?"
"My gosh, Justise!"
"What is it ba?" I'm naguguluhan with what she was trying to tell me.
"You're pregnant."
"I'm buntis? What? Okay, why would I be buntis naman?"
Nag-gape ang mouth ko nang ma-remember ang tagpo sa restroom. It was a hot, ferocious sex affair I had salo with Rico. I still feel him inside of me... infiltrating my sistema with his semen and I'm no longer taking pills. My eyes just widened.
"Am I buntis?!"
The takot and pangamba enveloped my being. Kinakabahan ako sa p'wedeng mangyari if Reign's hula is totoo. I can't suffer the same tadhana when I had Freedom. I don't want to go through that. Alone.
No... Integrity is not here. She won't tell me na ipalaglag ang baby ko. Hindi niya ako papainumin ng pills, she won't hurt me.
But Rico? Would he be just like Silas?
Kinagat ko ang lower lip ko.
"If that someone who knocked you up pregnant is not a man enough to accept you and your child, your son will, Justise." Reign sat beside me. "You have to go to the doctor and have an appointment. I'd be your companion."
