Chapter 28: I Don't Want A Sibling!

Kaya naman pinlano rin namin ni Harri ang pagsasabi kay Anya ng tungkol sa pagbubuntis ko. At plano ko na rin sabihin pati sa pamilya ko. Siguro pagkatapos muna naming masabi kay Anya.

Nang araw na iyon ay nilabas din namin muli si Anya. Namasyal kaming tatlo ni Harri at nag-mall din. Kasi kailangan din mamili ni Anya ng ilang bagong gamit para sa pagbalik niya ng London kagaya na lang ng luggage niya. Okay pa naman iyong dati niyang gamit, but I just also want us to spend some more time before she depart.

And when we went home, nakapagpahanda na rin ako sa cook ng dinner namin. Sa labas pa sana kami kakain pero medyo crowded na at mas gusto ko na dito lang sa bahay sabihin kay Anya ang tungkol sa baby.

So we started telling her about my pregnancy over dinner. "Anya, your Dad and I have something to tell you." I smiled at her.

"What is it?"

Tumingin pa kami ni Harrison sa isa't isa sandali at ngumiti rin bago namin muling binalik ang atensyon namin sa kay Anya.

"Anya, I'm pregnant. You're going to have a little sibling!" I smilingly told her. And I can't also help my excitement.

Pero nabitiwan lang naman ni Anya ang mga kubyertos niya. Pagkatapos ay mukha rin siyang natigilan na nakatingin lang sa amin ni Harrison. Nawala naman ang ngiti sa labi ko...

I never knew what Anya's reaction would be once we told her about the baby. But I didn't expect that her face would turn into displeased once she know...

"Anya..." I called her.

At pagkatapos ay sumunod naming nakita ni Harrison ang unti-unti naman niyang pag-iling. "No..." aniya.

"What is it, Anya..." my lips just parted as I tried to ask her what was wrong...

She looked at me as she shook her head. "I don't want to..." iling niya. "I don't want a sibling!" aniyang nanlalaki ang mga mata niya at may nagbabadya na ring luha roon.

I felt the literal pain in my chest. Naramdaman ko rin na nanginig ang mga kamay ko at hindi ako nakagalaw agad. At parang nag-init na rin ang mga mata ko sa luha. I don't know, but... it was painful to see her that way... She was looking like she's scared and in pain by what's supposed to be a good news for us...

"Anya!" Harrison was also quick to scold her.

Anya's tears automatically fell at Harrison's angry voice. And she stood up from the dining table then ran out of the dining room. Pinigilan ko naman si Harrison sa tabi ko. Umiling ako sa kaniya...

"Are you alright now? I'll go and talk to her. Please rest in our room for now." he told me after he carefully had me drink some water to calm me down because I also started crying from what happened. I'm so emotional.

Umiling naman ako sa kaniya. "Maybe she's just shocked, Harri..." I told him.

He sighed. "Magpahinga ka na. Ako nang kakausap kay Anya." sabi naman niya sa akin.

"Harri, please, be gentle with her. Matatakot lang ang bata kapag galit ang ipapakita mo sa kaniya ngayon..." paalala ko sa kaniya.

Then he slowly nodded his head at me. "Ako na ang bahala... Please, you should rest now. It's getting late. Hindi makakabuti sa'yo at sa anak natin..." sabi niya sa'kin.

Tumango naman ako sa kaniya at bahagya nang ngumiti. "Okay..."

Pagkatapos ay sinamahan na niya muna ako sa kwarto namin. He tucked me in our bed, before he left for a while to go to Anya's room and talk to her about what happened tonight...
