Mr. Wrong (Mr. Series #1)

Chapter 48

Hindi ko inakalang makikita ko siya rito sa bahay namin.

He glanced at my wrist, but I hid it.

I looked away. I don't have the energy to argue with him.

Mabuti na lang hindi niya rin ako kinausap at nilampasan niya na ako.

I heaved a sigh.

Papasok na ako sa bahay nang makita ko ang parents ni Jhon Rey na lumabas mula sa pinto. They were surprised to see me, too. I wonder why they are here.

Nilampasan din nila ako. Napayuko ako. They hate me too, I guess.

"Sheen May."

Napalingon ako nang tawagin ako ng mom ni Jhon Rey. Siya na lang ang naiwan dito sa labas kasama ako. Nauna nang lumabas ang asawa niya.

"Are you alright? I heard what happened." She seemed to worry about me.

Hindi ko inaasahang kakausapin niya ako. Ako ang naglayo ng kasiyahan ng anak niya.

I nodded as an answer. I remember seeing her that night. She was shocked, too, by our sudden crash at their family dinner.

She walked closer to me and held my hand.

"We'll make sure that he'll take the responsibility of what he did. Jhon Rey will marry you."

I was too stunned to speak. Jhon Rey will marry me?

Is that what they talked about here with my dad?

Hindi ko na siya natanong pa dahil tinawag na siya ng kaniyang asawa. Nagpaalam na siya sa akin bago tuluyang lumabas mula sa bahay namin.

I was standing there for a while. Hindi ko alam kung tama ba ang narinig ko o nagha-hallucinate lang ako.

Nagdesisyon akong pumasok na sa loob ng pamamahay namin para tanungin sana si dad tungkol doon, pero nakita ko siyang pumasok na sa office niya.I can't go there unless he tells me to.

I heaved a sigh. I couldn't remember how many times I'd heaved a sigh today.

Tatlong linggo ang nakalipas at wala akong alam sa mga nangyari. Gusto ko mang tanungin si mom, pero mas mabuti na sigurong ipagpabukas ko na ito. Kailangan ko ng lakas para harapin ang lahat.

The next day, I acted like I had no idea what was happening. I sat on the chair where Mom and Dad were also having breakfast. Pinagsasandukan ako ni mom at tinimplahan niya rin ako ng gatas. Inihanda niya rin ang prenatal vitamins ko. I guess they already accepted that their only daughter is having a baby.

I don't know. I feel something weird; lalo na't hindi nagsasalita si dad. I was expecting him to scold me because of what happened, or maybe blame me for something, but he's not doing that, and I am not used to it.

Nagpaalam na ako kay mom na papasok na ako. She looks so worried.

"Are you going to be fine?" She asked while wiping her mouth with the napkin.

Tumango ako.

"I can tell your professors that you need time to rest; you don't need to push yourself."

Tumingin ako kay dad na ngayon ay abala pa rin sa pagtingin niya sa tab niya. Akala ko'y pipigilan niya si mom, pero hindi siya nagsasalita at umaakto lang na parang wala siyang naririnig. I don't know what's going on, but I am really curious about his sudden changes.

"Kaya ko, mom. Don't worry about me."

"Alright, kapag may gusto kang kainin, utusan mo na lang si Derrick na ibili ka."
