I was totally devastated knowing that I have to keep my pregnancy from my parents. It isn't because Simour told me to, but because I also believe that his mother might do the worse just to separate us. I don't want that to happen.

After he learned that I am pregnant, palagi na niya akong inaasikaso. Tinatanong niya ako kung may mga gusto ba akong kainin o kung may gusto ba akong gawin.

Though it scares me somehow that I am keeping my pregnancy from my parents, it's a relief to me that I have Simour by my side. Kahit papaano ay nababawasan ang kaba, pangamba at takot na nararamdaman ko.

"Miss Pres, kumusta?" May dalawang babae na sumalubong sa akin sa hallway isang araw.

"I'm fine. How about... you?" Hindi ko mapigilang magtaka sa inaasta nila.

These girls are familiar however I can't help but wonder why they're talking to me all of a sudden. Hindi naman sila ganito dati. Madalas pa nga ay hindi nila ako pinapansin.

Humagikhik ang isa. "Ayos lang din naman kami. May itatanong lang sana kami. Nagtataka kasi kami, eh."

I creased my forehead a bit. "What is it?"

"Uhm... kayo pa ba ni Villegas?" tanong ng isa pa'ng babae.

I blinked. "Uhm... why do you ask?"

"Siguro, hindi na, ano? Kasi nakita namin siya na kasama iyong ex niyang si Shanty sa labas ng isang hotel. Sabay pa nga sila na pumasok sa kotse na palaging dala ni Villegas dito sa paaralan," wika ng isa.

I felt a pang on my chest but I tried to conceal it. I don't want them to see that I'm hurting.

What if they are just trying to test me? I trust Simour.

"Kami pa rin ni Simour up until now. And uhm... I don't know what you're saying. Wala namang sinabi sa akin si Simour na nagkasama silang dalawa ni Shanty," saad ko saka kalmadong boses.

No one knows how I'm breaking inside.

Nagkatinginan silang dalawa. Kapwa nagtaasan ng kilay.

"Oh... so, tinatago niya pala sayo," sabi ng isa. "Bakit naman niya itatago? Iyan ang makakasira sa relasyon ninyong dalawa. Kapag palagi niya iyang ginagawa, mas lalo lang kayong mawawalan ng tiwala sa isa't isa."

"Oo nga!" The other one agreed. "If I were you, Miss Pres, tatanungin ko siya kung totoo ba? Para naman makasiguro ka. Tsaka kung hindi siya aamin, diyan ka na magduda."

I chuckled a bit. It went out blank and cold and I didn't mean it.

Unang-una sa lahat, may tiwala ako kay Simour. Sigurado akong nagsisisnungaling lang ang dalawang ito. They're just trying to destroy what I and Simour have. Too bad for them, I won't believe their lies.

But then I couldn't help but also overthink. What if they're actually telling the truth?

"Uhm... I don't really know if I should believe you both," mahina kong sabi. "If you have a proof that they were together then maybe I would believe you."

Napasinghap sila ng sabay. "Wala kaming pruweba, Miss Pres. Pero kita ng dalawang mga mata namin na magkasama sila. Sabay silang lumabas mula sa hotel saka sabay rin na sumakay sa kotse ni Villegas."

Umismid ang isa saka humalukipkip. "Nasa iyo na iyon kung hindi ka maniniwala sa amin. Hindi naman kami ang masasaktan, eh." Matamis siyang ngumiti.

I bit my lower lip as I watch them turned their backs on me. Kapwa sila nakangisi saka sabay na umalis.
