"What was that? Kalei? Don't tell me. . ." mapanghusga at pinanliitan ako ng mga mata ng kapatid ko.

She looked at my belly then back on my face. Palipat-lipat ang tingin nito habang magkaharap kami sa isa lavatory ng banyo. I already cleaned the mess. She helped me.

"Don't even think about it," I snapped.

"Are you pregnant? Kaleidoscope! May nangyari na ba sa inyo ni Kuya Daumier? Huwag kang magsinungaling sa akin!" she gasped and covered her gaping mouth with her palm.

I winced when I felt the stomachache. "Kaia, I'm not pregnant. Madalas ay sa umaga nasusuka ang mga buntis."

"Baka may naamoy kang ayaw mo? Magkakapamangkin na ba ako? Ano ka ba, Kalei! Twenty-seven na ako! I'm ready to become an aunt!" she exclaimed.

"Wala namang mali sa pang-amoy ko."

"I'm your sister! Mapagkakatiwalaan mo ako, Kalei! Maiintindihan ko kung bakit buntis ka!"

Alam kong hindi ako buntis. Parang hindi rin naman gumamit ng proteksiyon si Daumier no'n. He had let his cum splattered on my groin that time, or on my legs, sometimes on the cheeks of my bum. I did not feel anything like warm liquid squirted inside me every time we had our orgasm.

There was nothing serious of this stomachache. All I have to do was to eat in the proper time, and drink medicine for aches like this.

Kung totoong buntis ako ay sana sasakit din 'yong ulo ko at parang mahihilo ako. I have not experienced it, and I was not ignorant about those information.

"Hindi ako buntis. Wala pa sa isip ko 'yon," I corrected my sister.

"Am I going to be an aunt? I'm so excited! I'm going to spoil your little one!" her monolid eyes sparkled and glistened with hopes up.

I pocketed my hands inside the pockets of my baggy pants. "Kaia, sumakit lang 'yong tiyan ko dahil sa nabigla sa dami ng kinain ko. Kaninang umaga kasi nakalimutan kong kumain."

"You need to get checked up!" she insisted.

"No, I know my body," I refused. Nauna na akong lumabas ng banyo at sumunod naman ito. I grabbed the bag where I packed my things. "Aalis na ako, at kung may maghahanap man sa akin. Huwag mo'ng sabihin ang address ko."

Pumwesto sa harap ko si Kaia at nakahalukipkip pa ito.

"This is not about him leaving you, right? Nagtatago ka dahil nagseselos ka."

I took a deep breath, stretching my patience longer. "Ayaw ko na muna siyang makaharap sa ngayon."

"Kalei, alam ko namang naiintindihan mo kung bakit ka niya iniwan. Kaya mo siya iniiwasan ngayon dahil sa lumabas na balita, at natatakot ka na baka ay mangyari sa kaniya 'yong nangyari kay Mama at Papa. You don't want to get attached to him," she expressed it straightforward.

My sister's words got me statued on my position. Thinking that she noticed. She knew me so much that I could not hide things like that. Kahit hindi ko pa sabihin sa kaniya ay alam niya na.

"Hindi ko alam, Kaia," I denied.

"Kalat na kalat na sa social media na si Ms. Guillera raw iyong girlfriend ni Kuya Daumier," she specified it.

"Problema na nila 'yan," I replied and walked towards the closed door of my room.

Masyado ba akong halata? Na pilit kong inaalis sa isip ang tungkol doon? Umaakto akong hindi apektado sa mga nangyayari kahit sa kaloob-looban ko ay gusto ko nang magsumigaw sa inis at irita.
