CHAPTER ONE
CONGRATS IVAN. You're a dad now.
Panagutan mo ako o ipo-post kita???
"Que horror!" Hinagis ko ng cellphone sa kama.
Hindi ako mapakali bigla sa kinauupuan ko. Gusto kong tumakbo pero hindi ko magawa. Isa na ata ito sa mga pinakakinatatakutan marinig ng isang lalaki na ayaw naman sa commitment. Damn. What the fuck is wrong with me? I couldn't remember her. But I remembered one night, I was drunk, really drunk that I ended up having sex with someone. Like the fucking usual! But I was wasted that night, na hindi ko na maalala ang nangyari at kung sino siya!
I woke up next morning naked. I didn't know who I was with, she just left a note saying; IT WAS A GOOD NIGHT.
Maybe it was her? Or maybe it was another ex of mine trying to make me crazy? Why am I freaking out? Why wouldn't I?! Kakapasok palang ng bagong taon! Ang sabi ko magbabagong buhay na ako tapos ito ang bubungad saakin? Magiging tatay na ako?!
Was it a good night? Of course, it was! I'm proud of this size and my performance was always lit, Dude! Lahat ata ng babaeng nakakaranas nito ay hindi nakakalimot at gusto pa umulit hanggang round 12. But too bad, I wasn't into that. I'm a one night stand kind of guy. No commitment, no problem.
But now, I fucking don't know. I didn't fucking expect this.
Tumakbo ako palabas ng kwarto ko at pinuntahan ang bestfriend ko na si Damon sa kabilang kwarto. The dude was playing Mobile Legend on his phone.
"May nabuntis ata ako!" sigaw ko ulit na hindi mapakali.
I was walking back and forth. Ilan beses ko na sinuklay ang buhok ko sa sobrang taranta sa balitang ito. Hindi ako magkakaganito kung naalala ko lang ang ginawa ko noon gabi na 'yon! I would confidently tell this woman that it wasn't me. But what if, sumabog ang alaga ko sa loob dahil sa sobrang kalasingan ko? Hindi naman ako supot para hindi makabuo.
"Bakit hindi ka nag-condom, Pre?"
"How would I? Lasing na lasing ako nang mga oras na 'yon!"
"Kasalanan pala ng alak, no? Hindi natin 'yan bati."
Huminto ako at humarap sa kanya. "Dude, what the actual fuck? I'm trying to tell you Ivan's world crisis but here you are playing? Sinasayang mo lang ang WIFI namin!" I said frustratingly.
He didn't answer then I continued walking. Buti na lang habang napapalakad ako sa kwarto niya, every three steps I kept seeing myself in the mirror. And somehow, it calmed my nerve. Kung ipanganak ka ng ganyan kagwapo, hindi ka paba kakalma? Damn this face. Pangit lang talaga ka-bonding ng katawan ko. Nakabuntis ng wala sa oras!
"Ivan dude, kung ako sayo. Face it. I-text mo 'yong babae at makipagkita ka para makasigurado ka na sayo talaga 'yan. Ano ba naman kasi 'yan. Kakadyot ka lang hindi ka pa nag-iingat."
Out of frustration I brushed my hand on my soft hair. But P.S. I regularly had it cut to one of the most expensive barbers shop in the Philippines. I deserved it, a guy like me deserved nothing but the best of this world because I am Ivan Anthony Fraizer, isa ako sa kayamanan ng mundo.
Every three steps I stopped and when I'm in the middle I looked at Damon. Nakita mo 'yan ulol na 'yan? Magaling 'yan kapag may pagkain dito sa bahay. Magaling din 'yan kapag may alak ako na ipapainom sakanya at mas lalong magaling 'yan kapag may babae ako na ipakikilala sakanya.
"I got someone fucking pregnant I didn't know personally that's the real problem! Hindi ko alam kung anong nangyari sa'kin nung gabi na 'yon at bakit naisipan ko bumuga paloob. Fuck. Paano na lang ang pangarap ko na sa isang karapat-dapat lang na babae ibibigay ang magandang lahi ko?"
