Always The Bestfriend

Chapter Sixteen

"Ma'am, lagi kayong nagpapabili sakin ng guyabano shake ah? Buntis po ba kayo?" Tanong ni Heather.

My hand froze in mid air. I was supposed to give Heather na money to buy me a Guyabano shake. Buntis? Is it possible? Lagi akong nagtatakaw. Lagi din akong natutulog which was unusual because I am not a heavy sleeper.

"Ma'am?" Tawag pansin sakin ni Heather. I looked up at her and gave her the money. "Bili na po ako, Ma'am." She said before leaving.

I stood up and decided to buy a pregnancy stick sa may malapit na pharmacy. Mabilis akong naglakad palabas ng opisina at pumunta ng pharmacy. I grabbed five pregnancy sticks and payed for them. Lakad takbo ang ginagawa ko pabalik sa shop. Heather still wasn't at her table when I arrived kaya mabilis akong pumasok sa opisina at dumiretso ng banyo.

I wasn't born yesterday to know how the pregnancy test works. I did my thing and waited for three minutes before checking it. Negative is one line and positive has two lines. I'm hoping that it is a negative. God, my heart is beating so fast that I can hear it. I'm freaking nervous!

I checked my watch. Pwede na! Kinuha ko ang pregnancy stick na nakapatong sa sink. Tinignan ko ito and my face went blank.

Positive

No. This is impossible. But, we had sex. But, I thought first time won't get you pregnant?! Oh, god! What am I going to do! Tha father of my child is getting married! Oh god. Oh god. Oh god. Oh god. I don't want my baby to grow up not having a father. I don't want him/her to ask where his/her father is once we grow up. Paano ko sasabihin na kasal na ang tatay niya? I don't want my baby to be a bastard!

"Ma'am. Nandito na po yun guyabano shake." I looked at the door. "Ma'am?"

"H-ha? O-okay. Ilagay mo lang dyan." sabi ko. Tinapon ko ang pregnancy test. Maybe I should check it one again?

I TRIED three times but it was still a positive. Dammit! Ano na ang gagawin ko? Paano ko sasabihin kay Storm? Is he going to freak out? Is he going to get mad at me? Ugh! I should tell him soon. I don't want to use my baby para maghiwalay sila ni Rain. Pero what to do? It's already here. I'm pregnant and he's the father.

I decided to tell Mommy and Daddy first. Alam kong masyadong maaga but hell I need to. Ayoko na malaman nila kapag may umbok na ang tyan ko. They're my parents after all and they'll support me, right?

Huminga ako ng malalim. "Mom, Dad. May sasabihin po ako sa inyo." I said. It was more like a whispher. Parang takot ako ng baka may makarinig samin.

"What is it,sweetie?" Daddy asked. I looked at both of them and they looked eager to know what I had up my sleeves.

"Kahit anong reaksyon tatanggapin ko. Just please don't disown me." I said. Kumunot ang noo nilang dalawa and they looked at each other.

"Just tell us, Sunny." Si Mommy na ang nagsabi. I heaved out a deep sigh. Okay. This is it.

I looked at them both in the eyes. "I'm pregnant." Sabi ko. They stilled for a moment but smiles were formed in their faces. Mommy came to hug me as well as Daddy. Pagkatapos nun ay umupo sila sa couch.

"Storm is the father." I continued. Their smiles faded. Alam ko na ganito ang magigin reaksyon nila. Parang ako lang. Yes, I'm happy that I was pregnant but parang hati because Storm was the father.

"Kailan mo balak ipaalam sa kanya ito?" Tanong ni Daddy.

"I don't know...To tell you, Dad. I'm a complete mess right now. The engagement news isn't helping me. I'm a total wreck." I started crying. Yep. Infront of my parents. The last I cried infront of them when I was in the second grade. I didn't want to go to school because I was scared of new faces.
