Twisted Fate (Reid Sierra)[Under-Editing]

24 - Afraid

REID SIERRA

Learning that Lily was pregnant filled me with immense happiness. The thought of becoming parents was overwhelming, but it also brought a sense of excitement and anticipation.

We saw it as the start of a new journey, and we were excited to face it together, feeling a mix of responsibility and love as we prepared for parenthood, knowing our lives were about to change for the better.

We were filled with anticipation as we eagerly looked forward to welcoming our little one into the world and creating a nurturing and loving home for our growing family.

While Lily was asleep in our bedroom, I set out to find the largest room in the mansion, eager to transform it into a beautiful space for our first child. I wasted no time and already contacted some designers to start planning the makeover for my little one's room.

Despite not yet knowing the gender of our baby, I couldn't contain my excitement and began preparing the room with great enthusiasm. Luxury's room turned out to be the largest in the mansion, so I made the decision to clear out all her belongings to make room for my baby's nursery.

It was a thrilling moment, filled with anticipation and joy, as I imagined the day when our baby would arrive and fill the room with laughter and love.

"Anong ganap sir?" Tanong ni Manang nang pinapaligpit ko sa kanila ang gamit ni Luxury. Alam na alam nilang ayaw kong pinapagalaw ang gamit ni Luxury, but this time, I am removing all her things to the basement or storage room.

"This room will be the room of my future son or daughter, Manang." Nakangiting sabi ko, nanlaki naman ang mga mata ni manang dahil sa gulat. Nagkatinginan naman ang mga kasambahay sa sinabi ko, kitang-kita ang pagkalito, pero may saya din sa kanilang mga mukha.

"Lily's pregnant," I announced with a grin, excitement bubbling within me. "I want us all to focus on preparing healthy foods for her and for the baby." As my words sank in, they exchanged glances, their faces lighting up with happiness and excitement at the news.

I called Mira not to mention to anyone yet, and will announce it to my father's birthday. I also called Mrs. Gomez, Lily's suki sa shop, the wedding organizer to schedule a secret wedding for my Lily.

Ngayon palang nae-excite na ako. I've never experienced this before, the overwhelming joy and such. Ramdam kong lumilipad ako sa langit nang malaman ang balitang iyon.

Pumasok ako sa kwarto ko para tignan si Lily, tulog parin ito at mukhang komportable sa higaan. Nakangiti akong lumapit sa kanya at tinabihan siyang humiga sa kama.

"Hmm," Lily murmured, stirring slightly. After a few moments, she opened her eyes and smiled upon seeing me, but quickly closed them again.

"Sorry, did I wake you up?" I asked softly, my voice barely above a whisper, careful not to disturb her if she was still tired. The soft light filtering through the curtains cast a gentle glow on her face, highlighting her peaceful expression as she lay there, still half-asleep.

"I want tuyo, mahal." Napataas ako ng kilay. "You mean, dried fish? Daing?" Tumango naman siya, "and a champorado." Napatawa ako dahil ang weird niyang mag crave.

"Alright, papabili ako kina manang." Lumapit ako sa intercom na nasa gilid ng pintuan ko, para ipaalam na gusto ni Lily ng tuyo at champorado.

"Do you want anything?" I asked again, hoping to get a clear answer this time. She shook her head initially, but after a moment of hesitation, she spoke up, "mangga na maraming bagoong."

I couldn't help but frown, "You just ate earlier," I reminded her. Her face scrunched up in annoyance, and she threw a pillow in my direction. Sensing her frustration, I quickly conceded, "Okay, okay. I'll get it for you. Anything else?"
