Wild Heart (Eastwood University Series #2) ✔️

Chapter 33

Tulala ako ngayon na nakaupo dito ngayon sa aking kama habang iniisip ang mga nangyari kagabi when Dad gave me two pregnancy tests.

Muli akong napasapo sa mukha when I remember the faces ng mga tao dito sa bahay nang matapos kong gawin ang pinapagawa ni Papa.

Flashback

"Take these," Papa gave me the two pregnancy tests. My hands are shaking habang inaabot iyon sa kaniya bago maglabas ng kinakabahan na hininga.

I looked up to see my Dad, "Will you be mad at me if the result was positive?" My lips quivered as I said that.

My Papa shook his head that made my shoulders relax in relief.

"I still love you whatever happens, Dione. But, if the result is really positive, I want you to be honest with me, okay?" Mahabang salaysay nito na ikinatango ko na lang.

Mabilis akong pumunta ng banyo to check kung totoo nga at hindi lang eme itong mga symptoms na nararamdaman ko.

Shit, I'm nervous as fuck!

After three minutes or so, I looked at the two pregnancy tests that were in the sink before I felt my two hands shaking and my eyes welling in tears.

Kinuha ko ang dalawang bagay na iyong gamit ang isang kamay bago mapatakip ng bibig because of disbelief.

Two lines.

Two fucking lines.

What does that fucking mean? Naiiyak ako kasi hindi ko alam ibig sabihin nito.

"Pa?" Tawag ko pero mukhang hindi ako nito narinig dahil walang sumagot.

"Pa!" Sigaw kong tawag and that's when I heard footsteps coming in my direction.

"Yes, princess? What happened?" Aligaga na tanong nito kaya naman nanginginig ang kamay na binigay ko sa kaniya ang dalawang pregnancy test.

"W-What does that mean?" Nanginginig ang boses kong saad. Tiningnan lang naman ako ni Papa ng blangko kahit hindi niya pa nakikita ang hawak.

"Gurang ka na, hindi mo pa din alam kung positive or hindi 'yung ni-test mo."

My mouth went agape when he said that bago siya tingnan ng hindi makapaniwala.

"Aba, malay ko ba! It's my first time doing this!" Natataranta at naiinis kong singhal dito hanggang sa nakita ko ang pagbuntong hininga ni Papa ng tingnan ang hawak na pregnancy test.

"Two red lines means positive, Dione." Napanganga at hindi makapaniwala akong tumingin kay Papa when he said that. He gave me a supporting smile before patting my head in a soft manner.

"You're pregnant, anak."

I felt my knees getting weak as he said that and it's playing a loop in my head. Hindi ko alam ang nararamdaman ko sa ngayon, masaya ba or naaawa sa batang nasa tiyan ko.

Your other Mama is about to get married to someone, anak.

Naramdaman ko ang haplos sa aking buhok, "Why are you crying, Dione? You should be happy. That's a blessing right there."

Tumingin ako kay Papa and I see nothing but happiness in his eyes that made me tear up more.

"Papa…"

"Shh, it's okay. Go to sleep, we'll talk tomorrow."

Dahil sa sinabi na iyon ni Papa ay naramdaman ko ang pagbigat ng aking talukap bago mapagpasyahan na matulog na. Late na rin and it's not good for me to stay this late.
