Chapter 1

Too many memories rushed through my mind the very moment I stepped my foot on the white sand of El Nido.

It's been... A while.

Katulad nang huling bisita ko dito, madami pa din ang turistang pumupunta dito.

"I've been here for several times." I heard Dwayne said.

My forehead creased when I saw women in their bikinis flocked around my husband. Like, he just literally came down from the boat. What the hell? I know he's attractive, but, again, what the hell?!

"Oh, wow. A pregnant wife getting jealous. This is fun." Narinig kong mahinang ani Gianna.

Oh, come on!

"My love, I'm tired. Can we go to our hotel, like, now? I want to rest already." Sinadya kong laksan ang boses ko para marinig ng mga babae at nang matigil sila sa kakahawak kay Dwayne.

Nakaawang ang labi ng isang babae nang tumingin ito sa gawi ko nang lumapit sa akin si Dwayne.

"Let's go." Ani Dwayne at marahang hinaplos ang bewang ko.

I faced the girls and gave them an insulting smile.

Yes, he's mine. Go away and fuck yourselves.

The other girl glared at me and rolled her eyes making me pissed off, like, literally.

I was about to sugod her but Dwayne stopped me.

"Let me go, Dwayne. I'm gonna peel her off!" Nanggagalaiti kong ani habang pinapanood ang tatlong babaeng naglalakad paalis. Lumilingon lingon pa ito sa gawi ko at nagtatawanan!

Argh!

"Calm down, Anastasia, for Pete's sake you're pregnant!" Pigil n'ya sa akin.

"She's flirting with you! Goddammit, Dwayne Kiefer Alvarez, you're a married man!" Sigaw ko sa kanya.

I know it's not his fault. But I'm just pissed off!!!

"Hey— stop!"

"Stasey, calm down!"

"Ugh! I hate attention."

Nakasimangot akong nakaupo sa couch habang ang mga kasamahan namin ay nakatingin din sa akin.

"You know, 'wag ka masyadong magpadala sa emosyon mo. Remember that it's not just you who's at stake in any thing that you do anymore. You've got someone inside your womb whom you should put as your first priority. Do you get what I'm saying?" Sermon sa akin ni Dwayne.

I saw how Gianna rolled her eyes.

"You don't want her act that way, refrain from triggering her." Iritadong anito.

Agad s'yang inawat ni Frost.

"And mind you, Alvarez, it's normal for a pregnant woman to act that way, you know. Just for your additional intelligence. Have you ever heard pregnancy hormones?" Aniya at umirap ulit.

"Excuse me, Montecarlos, I don't think I was talking to you." Ani Dwayne at namewang.

"Hey, dude, don't." Pigil ni Cloud.

Huminga ako ng malalim.

"Wake up, Dwayne. You wouldn't want to lose her again, right? You are married for a reason. Do not make idiocy that will lose both your baby and your wife. If you want her calmed, do not push her buttons. That's all I'm asking. You're educating her what she must do without even trying to understand what triggered her." Ani Gianna at lumabas. Agad s'yang sinundan ni Frost.

Sumipol si Leon at tumayo din papuntang kusina.

Umirap ako nang hinarap ako ni Dwayne.

"What?" Taas kilay na tanong ko.

He just sighed and sat beside me.

"I'm sorry." Aniya bago sumandal sa backrest ng couch at pumikit.

"Hindi dapat kita inaaway. It's not good for your baby." Marahang aniya na ikinalingon ko sa kanya.

Your baby?

Hindi ba ay anak namin itong dalawa?

Nanliit ang mga mata ko sa kanya habang s'ya ay hinihilot ang sentido at nakapikit na ani mo ay isa akong problema na kailangan niyang kaharapin.

Before I even shed tears, I stood up and headed on our room.
