''Is it really today? '' OA na tanong ni Eren sa akin.

He was asking me repeatedly about our appointment today. Mas kabado pa kesa sa akin. Feeling niya tiyan niya titignan.

I rolled my eyes while putting some ointment on my wounds. I was silent while putting ointment and Eren was at my back, shaking his legs, I could feel it here at the edge of my bed. I rolled my eyes.

''Wag ka ngang malikot diyan!'' I hissed.

''Oh, sorry''

I continued putting while mesmerizing my face in the mirror. I have a mirror in front of me, and yes, I can see Eren looking at my back with so much sympathy. One thing I like about Eren is that he never questions me about my wounds. He never crosses the boundary. I've been comfortable with him after that night in the hospital during our retreat week. After that retreat, we went slow on adjusting ourselves to be comfortable with each other. I learned to forgive little by little, and I am still working for it. for my child, I guess?

''You want me to help you?'' He suddenly talked behind me. Mukhang nakikita niya atang nahihirapan na akong mag lagay sa likod ko.

Tinignan ko siya gamit ang salamin then I again look at myself to stop myself from what will happen if we'll be close again na as in close. I don't want to have additional pain.

''No, thanks'' I answered shortly.

He just pursed his lips into a smile and nodded. He now busied himself with his phone. I can sense how embarrassed he is. Mukhang pinag sisihan pa niyang nagtanong siya. I sighed and stopped what I was doing. Nilingon ko na siya. He was still staring at his watch, mas excited pa sa akin. I'm happy that now he's also happy.

I can still remember that time when we first knew that I was pregnant. He loathed me for that, and me too. We didn't want this to happen. It was too early for me, and he was just at his peak in his career, but, now. We're both excited to know that child's gender, and it's just heart-warming. Sana mahalin ang anak ko ng Daddy niya ng pagmamahal na ni-minsan hindi ko naranasan.

"Eren" I tried to call him casually and he immediately turned his attention to me.

He was raising his eyebrows, asking why I called him. I looked at the ointment first and looked at him after, giving him a signal.

"Okay lang ba sayo mag amoy ointment?" I asked him

He nodded and grabbed the ointment from my hands. I sit again properly, facing in front, where I can see his reflection in the mirror.

He was hesitant at first; he didn't know if he'd touch me or just look at my back with wounds.

I rolled my eyes. Sometimes, I doubt if he's a child or an adult. He often acts like both an adult and a child.

Our eyes met while I was looking at him through the mirror. I raised my eyebrows and shrugged.

"What? Are we just going to sit here and just look at my wounds? It will never dry if you just look at it. " I was a little bit sarcastic.

I saw him smirk and chuckle, shaking his head.

"You really..."

I was waiting for his end remarks, but he just shrugged.

"Nothing," he continued.

He started putting on the ointment and we were both silent until he broke it.

''I heard Atticus wants you to come by at his company''

Oo nga pala. Kuya Atticus want me to come to his company if may extra time ako but I told him I am too tired to see a lot of people besides my tummy is a little bit big, mahahalata na ata na buntis ako kaya duon nalang sa Hacienda niya. I'll talk to Sky para ihatid ako dun.
