Vaughn Rei Riego's POV
When I open my eyes, I immediately recognize my room. Bakit nasa bahay na ako? Ang huling ala-ala ko ay ang pagpasok ni kuya Clyde sa office. He was there when I was breaking down.
Agad akong tumayo para tumakbo palabas ng kwarto. I have to talk to Ross. We can't just end it like that. I can't take this.
I was freaking out about the news a while ago that I can't think straight. Now that everything sink in and I can think clearly, alam kong naging padalosdalos ang disisyon ni Ross.
Kung titignan ang punto niya, ayaw niyang pagkaitan ng ama ang bata. And I know his insecurities are eating him right now. He's thinking that everything happened because of him.
Hindi ko naman sinasadyang sabihin na dahil frustrated ako sa kanya kaya naging tanga ako ng gabing iyon. And no matter how I look at the situation, it leads to our biggest insecurity. Hindi lang siya kundi pati ako. Ang insecurity namin na hindi namin mabigyan ng totoong pamilya ang isa't isa. Neither of us can't be pregnant. That's the reality of this kind of relationship.
Pero ano ba talaga ang ibig sabihin ng isang pamilya? Hindi ba samahan iyon ng mga taong mahal ang isa't isa at gagawin ang lahat para maging buo at masaya? We can adopt and still build a family. Hindi naman kailangang magkadugo para ituring na pamilya.
Pero ngayung meron ng ibang involved na tao ay hindi ko pa alam ang magiging resulta. I can just co-parent with that girl. If she takes this to court, then I'll fight for my love for him. Nabitawan ko na siya noon at hindi ko kayang maulit iyon.
My mind was so occupied with Ross that I didn't even notice my friends are in the living room—until my brother stood in front of my door to stop me. "Vaughn calm down."
Tinignan ko lang siya ng masama habang humihingal. "Kuya alis. I have to talk to Ross."
"He's not here." Sian said. Bumaling ang tingin ko sa couch kung saan nakaupo lahat ng kaibigan ko.
They look at me with sympathy in their eyes, looking so gloom.
And I hate that.
"Alam kong wala siya rito kaya nga hahanapin ko diba?"
I hate that even them can say and feel that I lose someone.
That I lose the love of my life.
"That's not what I mean."
Biglang bumilis ang tibok ng puso ko.
"What do you mean then."
Sian look at me with sympathy again. "His Dad came here to ask what is wrong since his son message him that he's going back to New York."
My heart sunk. He can't be right. Ross can't do that. But fuck! who am I kidding? Nagawa niya na noon kaya anong pinagbago ngayun?
"Hindi rin siya macontact. He deactivate all of his social media account." Alanganing sumingit si Quinn sa usapan. Na para bang mas pipiliin niyang manahimik nalang pero hindi niya rin mapigilan.
Napatingin nalang ako sa sahig. I can't stand to look at them when they look so sorry for me.
"Even his phone number can't be reached." Dagdag nito.
I felt my brother pushed me to sit on the couch. Nagpaubaya ako. Nanghihina narin ang tuhod ko sa sakit na nararamdaman ko ngayun.
"But his dad told us that he can lend you their private plane if you want to run after him." My brother looked so determined as he said that but I maintained my emotionless face. I'm drained.
Naalala ko ang sinabi ko sa dad niya na sisiguradohin kong makakahabol ako kung sakali mang tatakbuhan ako ulit ng anak niya. Pero sa sitwasyon ngayun na merong isa pang magiging apektado ay di ko na alam ang gagawin.
Napahilamos ako ng kamay sa subrang gulo ng isip ko at napatulala sa sunglasses na na iwan ni Ross sa couch. He left traces and he expected me to just let him slip out of my life?
He's too cruel for this. But I still fucking love him.
"I'll give him space." Ipinikit ko ang mga mata saka sumandal sa couch.
Nabigla si kuya sa naging disisyon ko. "Are you sure? Baka matapos na talaga kayo kapag di ka sumunod."
My heart sunk once again. Habang iniisip ko na pwedeng mangyari ang sinabi ni kuya ay parang gusto ko nalang tumakbo palabas ng bahay at lumipad papunta sa kanya. Pero di ko yon magagawa. Not until I've solved my issue. Not when something is holding me back.
"I have to talk to that girl first."
Kinuha ko ang kahon na nasa bulsa ko. I'm keeping this ring safe until I can finally give it to you. I know I hurt you badly, and I get the feeling you'll never need me again, but I still want you.

As the days slowly slipped by, they seamlessly turned into weeks, and before I knew it, a whole month had passed. Each day felt like an eternity as we anxiously awaited the arrival of my little angel, a mix of excitement and nervousness filling the air. Finally, the moment we had all been waiting for arrived. The room was filled with joy as we welcomed my beautiful baby boy into the world. His tiny cries brought tears to our eyes, and the sight of him, so perfect and healthy, filled our hearts with an overwhelming sense of relief and happiness. Ayesha, too, was safe and strong.
I posted a photo of my baby on tweeter.
