Rumors
Where did it went wrong? Oh! Right. It all started when those unregistered calls started to pop out of nowhere.
Mahigpit kong hinawakan ang seatbelt habang tanaw ang mansyon sa harapan. Mariin akong pumikit at kinagat ang labi. I'm not in the mood to be a sad girl at this moment and I am craving for steak.
"Elio, I want to eat steak." Majinang sabi ko.
Kinagat ko ang aking labi.
Mabilis na pinaandar ni Elio ang kotsye at niliko ito. He called Dionne and Mateo. Tahimik lamang akong nakatanaw sa labas ng bintana. Unconsciously I touch my tummy. Nagulantang ako.
Blood drained my whole system, I went black all of a sudden.
Nakalimotan kong buntis nga ako!
Napaluha ako. I started crying again. My shoulders were moving. I was so emotional earlier I forgot I was having a baby inside me.
I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
I clenched my tummy and cried.
Hindi ako nag ingat, I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I can't give you a complete family! I'm sorry for being irresponsible! I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!
Tulala lamang ako habang hinihintay ang aming pagkain. My friends where quiet. Mateo's on his phone probably can't endure the awkwardness.
"Deira, ballet audition mo na next week. I've heard that Tita has already received the outfit you'll be wearing. Have you already tried it??"
"Hindi pa dumating." Maikling sagot ko.
Natahimik sila ulit.
Dumating rin ang order namin. Katulad ng inorder ko ang inorder ni Elio. He replaced my plate with his already sliced steak.
Tahimik akong kumain. Trying to figure out how I'm going to tell everyone that I'm having a baby.
Huminga ako ng malalim.
"It's almost graduation. Vacay tayo? Hawai?" Dionne suggested. "You might need that, Deira. Let's unwind..."
I can't, I dont even know if it's safe for the baby to travel. Nanubig ang mata ko. I'm having a mental breakdown again by just remembering my child.
Pinilig ko ang aking ulo. I was about to get my wine when I remembered that I wasn't supposed to because it wouldn't be good for the baby. Even though this may be my first experience, I am aware of the dos and don'ts of pregnancy.
My phone is off. Wala rin akong planong buksan ito. We dine quietly that night. Napagkasunduan naming humimto mu na sa condo ni Elio.
Umopo si Dionne sa aking tabi at niyakap ako.
"Deira, say something...nandito lamg kami para sayo."
Umiling ako. Trying to fight back the tears that are threatening to fall.
"I just wanted to rest."
Bumuntong hininga si Dionne.
"You can cry, Deira. Nandito lang kaming tatlo para damayan ka."he said softly which touched my heart.
My tears started to fall.
Niyakap ako uli ni Dionne. Elio and Mateo went to the kitchen to talk. While Dionne keep me comfort.
"Pinagbintangan ka niya?!" Malakas na saad ni Mateo.
Bumalik siya sa sala at tumayo sa akinh harapan.
