Perses Intretus (BL) (Mpreg)

Chapter 03

Yvio

“ Yvio, here. Why don't you try again, ” it's been four days since I let his little swimmers inside and since then wala paring signs of me bearing his babies. Dapat talaga kasi hindi ganong paraan, ayun tuloy, walang nabou. Dapat kasi old fashioned way...... Yvio! Tama na 'yan! Wake up from your delusion! Kailan ka ba na attract sa lalaking naka maskara na 'to?! Jusko! I can't with myself.

“ Yvio, ” dahil inner monologue ko I forgot that Perses is handing me a pregnancy test para ma check kung meron naba. Pero feeling ko wala parin, nagtatampo ata dahil hindi daw old fashioned way ginawa.

Yvio!! Enough!

I took the pregnancy test on his hand and sat beside him, nag check na ako yesterday pero wala eh. Kaya ngayon naman daw ulit baka meron na, ang persistent niya. Dapat talaga kasi Perses old fashioned way natin ginawa para shoot agad. Ikaw naman kasi.

I prick one of my fingers with the sharp needle intact with the pregnancy test, we test blood to determine if a conceiver is pregnant while the woman tests their urine. Mas madali 'to sa totoo lang, masakit nga lang. After a drop of blood drips on the pt, I removed my fingers on top of it.

“ Let me put some plasters on that, ” Perses held me by my hand and wrapped my finger with a fabric plaster. The wound is small but he still treated it with care. Perses!! Stop making me fall for you! Tama na!!

“ Does it still hurt? ” He asked while rubbing the finger I poked with the sharp needle, gently I shook my hand.

“ Tell me if it does, I'll stop having you take a pregnancy test. Sa doctor agad tayo, ”

“ Ayos lang ako, hindi naman masakit. Parang kagat nga lang ng langgam to eh.” I feel like a kid assuring other kids that a syringe needle doesn't hurt when it penetrates through your skin.

“ The result should be out just a few seconds by now, ” I saw him lower his gaze to the pregnancy test in between us. While looking at him, I still can't get over his mask and the series of questions I have in my head about why he's wearing it every single day. Hindi ba mainit? Perses real voice is still a mystery to me, palagi kasing muffled ang boses niya sa mask na palagi niyang sout kaya hindi ko pa talaga narinig totoong boses niya without the mask.

“ Have you thought about removing that mask? ” I asked out of nowhere.

“ No, I never once have thought of that. ” He answered.

“ I'm sorry for what your bullies did to you, ” I never knew where those words came from but it feels like I needed to say it right now.

“ You don't have to, ” I shouldn't have opened this topic, the atmosphere suddenly became serious.

“ Perses, there's actually a little secret of mine. When I was about eighteen, I lost all my memory due to an accident. I just woke up in the hospital where they were trying to do an experiment with me and other different conceivers.” I took a deep breath while those memories from my bitter past returned bit by bit.

“ I actually don't remember my name from before, Yvio was given to me by an old woman who sheltered me when I ran away from the hospital. After she died, I started wandering around like a lifeless tumbleweed. ” The reason why I'm opening this old wound of mine is because I want Perses to know that old wounds can't keep us tied down forever.

“ Pero, alam mo I'm happy with my life nonetheless. ” I said with a smile, Perses raise his head to look at me.

“ My face was burned by one of my bullies. He said I was too ugly the only way to save me is by burning my face which he did. Isn't that cruel? ” Parang naputol dila ko sa sinabi niya. How can a high school student do that?! That kid is a lunatic! Ang dapat sa kaniya makulong!

“ DAPAT SA KANIYA MAKULONG! TANGINA BATA PA LANG MAY FUTURE NA SA PRISO.”  It was due to anger that I burst, there was really something deeper than just being bullied. I can't believe he was psychically hurt as well.

“ They can't imprison a dead man, ” kumalma ako don sa sinabi niya. Patay na pala. Hala.... Well, deserve naman niya.

“ What happened to him? ” It was out of my curiosity that I asked him about the cause of his bullies death. Alam niyo na, chismoso.

“ They said his car drove into a river and he drowned, ” oh shoot. Saklap non.

“ Pero, hindi ako naniniwalang patay na siya. Mahirap mamatay ang masamang damo. Hindi ba Yvio? ” Nagkatitigan kami nong tinawag niya pangalan ko. Totoo naman, usually sa mga masasama ang budhi mahirap patayin eh.

“ Totoo, hirap nilang bawasan sa mundo. ” Pag sang-ayon ko.

“ Ay oo, ang result nga pala. ” Muntik ko ng makalimutan sa sobrang chika namin. I looked down at the pregnancy test, it usually has just one line but now a second line is slowly appearing. Does that mean?!

“ Perses, ” tawag ko nong fully visible na ang second line.

“ It's about time little Perses, ” Perses rub my abdomen with his hand. Even without seeing his face, I know inside that mask that his smiling. I can hear the happiness in his voice.

“ Thank you Yvio, ” he looked at me. I saw him squinting his eyes which means he smiled inside that mask again, gusto ko talagang hubadin maskara niya pero hindi muna ngayon.

“ Grow big and strong little Perses, like mommy who survived everything.... ” Bulong niya habang nakahawak parin sa tiyan ko.
