Broken Call [ON GOING]

Kabanata 8

Tita is looking at us with so much questions in her eyes. Nakaupo kami sa couch ngayon ni Cael nasa kabilang side naman si Tita Gail at Kuya Yael

"Ano yun Cael? Jasmine?Ano ung nakita ko? hawakan mo nga ako Yael baka himatayin ako" Kinuha niya ang kamay ni Kuya Yael tsaka nilagay sa likod niya. Kuya Yael just rolled his eyes

"Umm Tita--" I'm a little bit nervous para sa sabihin kay Tita. I don't know if she would be happy or she'll react like how my Dad reacts about our news

"We're living together now Mom" Tita Gail looks so shock. She even act like she's gonna faint again dapat pala talaga masanay na ako kay Tita

"Stop doing that Mom! You're overacting. As if this is the first time you caught me kissing a woman" Naiiritang sabi ni Cael kay Tita. Bigla naman siyang binato ni Tita ng dala niyang apple. May basket ng prutas kasi siyang dala kanina she placed it on the table infront of her. Hindi ko nga napansin kung paano niya nadampot agad yun napakabilis ng kamay ni Tita buti nailagan ni Cael

"Manahimik ka!! Tsaka tagalugin mo ako! Ano bang sabi ko sa inyo? Kapag kausap niyo ako magsi tagalog kayo!!" bulyaw ni Tita kay Cael. Kuya Yael was trying to cover his ears pero siniko siya ni Tita

Tita Gail back her gaze on us.And breaths deeply

"Ano ang dahilan at nagsasama kayo ngayon?" This time Tita Gail's change expressions she's more serious now than how I usually see her

I glanced at Cael for a moment, my throat feels dry

"We're expecting a child Mom" Cael said directly to Tita Gail.He said that to his mother as if nothing happened. Na para bang lagi niyang nasasabi kay Tita yun

Kuya Yael's reaction also changed, if earlier he was able to smirk, now his smile freezes and he really looks confused

Meanwhile, Tita Gail seemed like she was still processing what Cael said in her mind and she was staring at the two of us for a long time.Naglipat-lipat pa ang tingin niya sa aming dalawa

"Ha?" Tita Gail doesn't expected that

"Buntis si Jasmine Mommy! Ako yung tatay, Magkakaanak na kami" Pag-ulit ni Cael sa sinabi niya. Nahihiya akong tumingin kay Tita

It takes a minute bago siya tumayo mula sa kinauupuan niya

"Putangina-- Yael--Yael saluhin mo ako para akong nawalan ng kaluluwa" Tita placed her hand on her forehead and as usual nag-aarte na naman siyang para siyang hihimatayin

Kuya Yael held Tita's back kahit pa natataranta din siya siguro iniisip niyang baka totoong himatayin si Tita dahil sa sinabi ni Cael

"Mom stop acting like that we're just teenagers who accidentally made a child! Nasa edad na kami Mom!" naiirita siguro si Cael sa inaasta ni Tita

"Ay tarantado ka talaga!!" Binato niya naman ngayon ng saging si Cael mula sa basket na dala niya. Hindi nakailag si Cael kaya natamaan siya sa dibdib

"Paano? Kelan? Ano ba? Hindi alam kung anong dapat kong itanong! Jasmine anong pumasok sa utak mo at nagpabuntis ka sa anak ko? Alam mo bang ayan ang pinaka gago sa tatlo?" Hindi ako makasagot baka bigla niya din akong batuhin ng saging

"Kakakilala niyo lang diba? Bakit? Jusko pakiramdam ko aatakihin ako sa puso" I just can't tell Tita na nagkakilala na kami ng anak niya two years ago, when I'm still a nun. I can't tell her how her son made me hypnotized by his voice and his touch that's too much information
