It's been 6 months since I last saw Bong.
After that fateful night, I heard that he went to Singapore to be with Liza.
Doon na din muna siya nagtatrabaho. He is currently doing remote work as president while his ES communicates with me kapag may mga bagay na dapat gawin.
I'm already over 7 months pregnant pero ni minsan hindi man lang nasilayan ni Bong ang unti unting paglaki ni baby boss sa sinapupunan ko.
After everything that happened to us, kahit papano, I am still happy.
I got to enjoy tiny milestones with baby boss sa tulong na din ni Mans.
Yes. Manases my ever forgiving best friend, confidant and husband.
The night I confessed, parang hindi man lang siya nagalit o nagulat. I saw his eyes and I know that he was deeply hurt at handa na akong iwan niya ako.
But the words he said that night struck me and I would never forget it until my last breath.
"You are not perfect so don't blame yourself. You fell in love and it didn't work. Yes, in the eyes of other people mali ang ginawa mo, pero nagmahal ka lang and love is never wrong. Just like how much I love you. Walang mali sa desisyon kong akuin ang baby mo na in a few months time magiging baby ko na din. Love is never wrong My.. let's just accept that we're human and move on from our mistakes ok? Kaya ikaw, halika kain tayo ng balut para di ka na malungkot"
Mans told me on the very same night I admitted my affair.
Napakabait ng asawa ko.
After that short talk, he acted as if nothing happened at alagang alaga niya ako.
Kung dati super busy siya na halos di na kami nagkikita, ngayon, sunod ng sunod na para umalalay sa akin kahit saan ako magpunta.
Which made me think.
"Siguro tama lang din ang naging desisyon namin ni Bong."
There were many days and nights since he left na lagi ko pa din siyang naalala. He always keeps me company in my heart and in my dreams at para sa akin, sapat na yun.
I kept the memories of Bong's love with me and I will treasure them forever.
Alam kong ako ang nagtulak sa kanya palayo but sometimes I couldn't help but think, naalala pa kaya niya ako at si baby?
"VP?? Ok ka lang?" Tanong sa akin ng OBgyn ko.
Oh shoot! I forgot nasa clinic pala ako.
"Yes doc. I'm ready" sagot ko
Today is the day na malalaman ko ang gender ni baby.
Actually I could've checked the baby's gender nung 5 months pa lang ako pero ewan ko ba! I was too crazy to think that I could share this moment with Bong.
I knew I was just being delusional.
After all the things I put him through? I honestly don't think he still wanted to know.
So here I am alone at the doctor's office.
Gusto sanang sumama ni Mans kaya lang ako ang nag pumilit na hwag. Nag usap na kasi kaming mag ge gender reveal party para sa mga bata so I wanted to surprise him too.
After all, siya naman talaga ang magiging tatay ni baby boss.
But if Bong wants to see our baby, hindi ko naman ipagkakait sa kanya. Just like what I told him the night we separated.
We can be co-parents.
"Wow! Congratulations Sara! You're having a baby girl!!"
Excited na bati ng doctor sa akin.
When I heard her, para akong maiiyak.
Baby girl. Just like what Bong always wanted.
He wanted a little princess Marcos.
Then she asked again
"Have you thought of any names yet?"
As I was tearing up, I answered her.
"Names? I'm thinking of Diara."
I tearfully answered.
"Wow, that's a nice name. Any significant meaning? Nowadays kasi ang weird magbigay ng pangalan ang mga parents"
Natatawang sabi niya.
Then I answered again.
"Gift. Diara means gift. A precious gift given to me by the love of my life."
When I said that, di ko na maiwasang tumulo ang luha ko.
Just like that, I remembered him again.
I remembered Diara's dad.
My Ferdinand.
