NATASHA’S POV:


  Wala sigurong balak na makipag talo sa akin si Azuke ngayon, napaka tahimik kasi parang may period siya.


“Ma’am, you had a call from your Father.” One of the stewardess approach me handling my phone.

I pick it up and answer him, ano naman kaya ang trip ni Dad ngayon?


“Yes, Dad?” bungad ko sa kaniya.

“Kaya mo bang mag travel? Is your baby is not reacting anything?” bakas sa pag aalala ang boses ni Daddy.


I smiled sweetly and answered him.

“No, Dad. I’m good, should I visit my favorite spot there?” I asked.


“Sure, whatever you want princess. Whatever you want.” I saw how his voice changed, alam kong nalaman na nito ang tungkol sa engagement  party ni Gabrielle. I don’t care anymore.


“Dad, whatever you saw in the news is true. But please, don’t mention my pregnancy to his family. Sein is the only person in their family knew about this.” I begged.

Knowing Dad, he is the most dangerous person I’d ever known for my entire life. No one dare to mess with me and my Mom, dahil hindi lang pagkatao nila ang kayang sirain ni Dad.


“Are you sure?” he brush his hair back using his fingers.



“Don’t stressed out, Dad. Don’t you believe in your princess?” I tried to lighten up his mood, at mukhang gumana naman dahil bumugtong hininga na lamang ito saka umiling-iling. Seems like I won in this argument.


“Asus, ‘yang Daddy mo napaka mahinang nilalang!” rinig kong sigaw ni Mommy. Mukang nasa kitchen sila for a breakfast.

“I don’t care, kung mahina ako when it comes to both of you. Since iyon lang din naman ang pinangako ko sa kasal natin.” My dad replied with a smirked on his face, then he turned the camera to my mom at parang tomato na ito dahil sa pula.


“Shees guys, get a room!” reklamo ko.


“Sino ang mahina sa’tin ngayon? Hmm?” my dad keep on teasing my mom, kaya binaba ko na ang tawag.


I turn my phone into silent and just watch a japanese series, praying na hindi na ako masundan. I’m already having a baby.


“You want some sushi?” Azuke asked. I turned to him and he was already eating a shushi.

“Ang pangit mo talaga ka-bonding e, s’ympre gusto ko rin ng sushi!” reklamo ko.

“Edi kumuha ka ng sa’yo, inaaway mo ako kanina e.” Parang bata itong tumalikod sa akin.


“Pangit, Azuke. Ang pangit.” Inirapan ko ito at padabog na sumandal sa upuan ko, while close my eyes while my arms are still crossed and my eyebrow is not calm as it is.


I heard a shutter sound kaya napa dilat ako, bumungad ang camera ni Azuke sa harap ng mukha ko.

“Looking for new friend, maldita kasi ang nasa akin.” He started typing something on his phone.


“Kapal mo, pag ako talaga mainis sa’yo ihuhulog kita sa lumilipad na Eroplano.” Pag mamaldita ko.

“Wag na, baka mahimatay ka pag nawala ako.” He confidently said.

“Napaka kapal mo talaga e, ‘no?” I get my phone and start to write a tweet.


‘Looking for new pet: nakaka stress ang nasa akin.’ I put it on darfts para mamaya ko na i-post pag maka landing na kami. I tag him already para magulat nalang siya mamaya.


“Excuse me miss, can you give me a sushi and a carbonara? I wan’t some chicken sandwich too. Thanks!” I ordered my food dahil gutom na ako.

Azuke go back to his seat at malalim na bugtong hininga ang ibinigay nito sa akin, he seems like worrying about something. Sana hindi gano’n kalala ang bubungad sa akin sa Japan.


“Napag usapan na nila mommy about your pregnancy and weeding, kapag matalo si Tito sa pustahan you’ll be marrying me. I’m still hoping that he will win.” He said.

Nanlaki ang mga mata ko saka lumingon sa kinaroroonan niya, how the heck Dad join that bet? Altough hindi alam ng boung daigdig na mag pinsan kami ni Azuke, but dealing with an egyptian is a very risky move he had done.


“Tito never want to join those bet games because he respects your privacy, but the Egyptian shareholders make you the bait. Nandoon ako sa mga oras na ‘yun habang mainit ang usapan nila, ang gusto sana nang mga ito ay kunin ka bilang isang hostage. That’s the reason why I suggested na ipa-kidnapped ka habang tulog para hindi ka na magulat.” He continued.

Napa-awang ako ng labi habang tinatakpan ang baba ko, dad take a risks without using the dirty way? Why?

“I know what you wanted to asked, but, Tito never did the dirty way dahil napapaligiran ka ng mga kalaban. Gabrielle might be there pero alam ni Tito na hindi siya makiki-alam pag sinaktan ka physically.” He answered my question.


“So anong ginawa mo, habang gumagawa sila ng agreement?” curious kong tanong.


“Playing golf with their sons, na puro hindi marunong tumira.” Azuke replied.

I just scoffed and wait for my order, we continue to talk until my food arrived. He then get his own order at doom kami nag switch ng topic.


“Ano ba ang nagustuhan mo kay Gabrielle? E, redflag naman ‘yon?” takang tanong nito.


“Well, he can spend his all money for me. I don’t care kung yellow flag, black flag, o kung anong flag pa siya. As long as he is wealthy as me. I’ll go out with him, it’s not that I don’t have a money. He is just attractive, well-mannered, know how to cook, can clean, and can spoil me with his money.” I answered.


“Iyon lang ba?” parang hindi pa siya satisfied sa sagot ko, napaka bstos ng pinsan ko na ito minsan.


“Have you seen his pet? I’m gonna tell you, he has the king cobra between those thighs.” Confident kong sagot sa kaniya.


Nasamid naman siya dahil sa sinabi ko, ang dami kasing hinihinging sagot. Alam naman niya ang sagot tapos hihingi pa talaga.



“*cough* Natasha naman,” he begged between his coughed.

“Hoy, hiningi mo ‘yan. You deserve it!” pag tataray ko.

“Pero at least, minamahal ako ngayon, ikaw ba?” banat niya sa akin.


Ang bastos naman ng banat nitong tarantado, puwede ko na siyang icancel.

“Mag hanap ka nang bagong pamilya, your Mom will probably despise you pag marinig kang ganiyan.” Banta ko sa kaniya. I smirked as his face start to gloom.



“Ang pangit mo kabardagulan, wala epek.” He scratch his nape and just drink the water bottle next to his seat.  Nag sout siya ng headset at nag handa upang matulog.



Napaka lakas ng amats neto ah? Dapat pala makikisabay sa bardagulan niyang hindi ako maka relate? Hay naku, Tanaka.


Kinalukit ko lang muna ang cellphone ko para hindi ako antukin, pero nang makita ko na ang mga Stewardess papalapit sa kinaroroonan namin ni Azuke ay bigla akong inantok.


Hindi ko namalayan na tuluyan akong makakatulog, hangang sa makarinig ako nang tili mula malayong lugar. Napa hawak siya nang mahigpit sa handler ng upuan ng wala sa oras dahil sa akala niya ay may nangyauaring masama.

I turned to Azuke who’s already smiling while holding his phone, tumingin muna ako sa bintana at naka land na kami sa isang building.

“Azuke, help me prepare myself.” Tawag ko sa kaniya.


He helped me preparing my make up and food, gusto kong kumain ng marami pero parang nag pupumigil ang bata sa loob ng aking tiyan.

“I want some adobo, Azuke,” palambing kong sabi.

I wrap my hands around him and pull him closer to hug, wala siyang nagawa kun’di ang hayaan ako sa gusto ko.


“I’m going to call mom for a second, so do your make up.” Ani niya, pinakawalan ko naman ito saka sinunod ang utos niya.



After an hour ay bumyahe na kami papuntang spot nila Tita, apparently, my parents are just going to meet them using google meet. Maraming tasks ang kailangan matapos nila Mommy, dahil gusto nilang sila ang unang hahawak sa babies ko.

We finally arrived in Minato City, where his parents stay. As soon as we arrived, maraming payong ang naka abang sa pag labas ko para ma-itago ang tiyan ko. Azuke also wear a wig and disguise himself for the media, hangang sa makapasok kami sa loob ng elevator ay todo protekta ang mga lalaking naka tuxedo.

“Azuke, should these people stop?” tanong ko sa kaniya.


“You want media to figure out that you’re pregnant? I don’t think so,” sagot niya at hinintay na bumukas ang elevator.


Pag bukas pa lang ng elevator ay agad na binuksan ni Azuke ang pintuan na katapat ng elevator, agad naman kaming pumasok at bumungad ang masarap na aroma ng adobo.

I turned to those men standing infront of the door and bow my head for a sign of respect and to thanks them. They also did the same, so I just smile and shout.


“I’m home, Tita!” pag bati ko sa kaniya. As soon as I step on the floor, Azuke turned back to me to removed my shoes.

Yung sala naman ay maluwag, then another door from left and right wall and that’s when I realized that, the left side is for their bed that is connected to the guest room. While the other door is for the kitchen.

“I know you’re hungry already, taste this one.” Tawag ni Tita sa’kin papuntang island kitchen nila.

I opened the sliding door at nag tungo ako sa kinaroroonan nito at tinikman ang timpla ng luto niya, she’s the best when it comes to cooking. No wonder kung bakit expert si Azuke when it comes to cooking.

“I already make it one kilo of chicken, knowing you’re gonna love it and crave for more.” Tita said.


“You’re the best, Tita...” mang-iyak-iyak kong sabi.

“For our princess, we can do whatever you wished for.” She assured.

After a little chit-chat, more visitors came which is also a relatives from Tanaka family. Dahil kami lang naman ang kapamilya ni Tita, wala siyang gaanong bisita.


“Woah, when are you giving birth?” one of the elders asked.

“This september,” I replied.

“A Virgo,” they started to discus about horoscope.

“Don’t pressure my pamangkin, you guy’s should control your mouth.” Pag babanta ni Tita sa mga ito.

“No, we just wanted to know. For the future preparation already, you know.” The elder said. Nagka tawanan naman ang lahat and we continue to have an amazing lunch and some talk.


Now it’s time for us to go straight to Russia, this would literally take us 9 hours of flight or higher than that? Since this is the first time happening that I stopped by here in Japan.

“Make sure you take care of yourself, we want to see our great-grandchild from you.” One of the elders women came forward to me and whispered.

She take out an envelope from her kimono and hand it to me, since we’re facing the entrance door nobody noticed it.

“It’s the real estate of my business in Singapore, you have to sign all the papers and give it back to me for an official ownership. I don’t have much time to live, but at least I can secure my great-grand child’s future.” She said.


I was speechless, because she hand it to me without hesitation. I can’t reject her because I wanted to, it’s because I don’t want her to feel like she’s alone or she didn’t do her best for this.

“Grandma, thank you.” I sweetly replied as my tears starts to blur my vision.

I appreciate it but, I only have one body. How the heck would I manage my time in shopping, babysitting, party, etc. Like how?


Nang kumawala kami ng yakap sa isa’t isa ay, nag datingan ang mga ibang matanda. Isa-isa nilang inabot sa akin ang mga envelope na dala nila. At ilang weeks nalang ay sasabak na ako sa labor, I wish mom is here.
