My Sixteen Years Old Bride

Chapter 25: Leaving

[Janine's POV]

Humahagulgol nanaman ako. Walang katapusang pag-iyak. Syete! Bakit ngayon pa?

Sorry baby, masyadong fragile at iyakin si mommy mo. Sana wag kang magmana sakin.

T_________T

Pagod na talaga akong umiyak.

"Anak, manang called me at sinabi niya na kagabi ka pa daw umiiyak. Napano ka ba?"

Mom arrived here kanina. Tch. Si manang kasi, may pagka-sumbungera. Tama ba namang sabihin kay mommy yon? Ugh.

"Wala, mom. Don't worry, I'm strong."

Tanga. Sabi mo palang kanina, fragile ka ngayon naman, strong? Tanga lang.

"Okay, I'm not going to bother you. Pero nabalitaan ko na ipinatawag mo si Dra. Quebral. What happened?"

She's my mother, I think she should know the truth. Sooner or later, she will recognize it anyway.

"Mom, I'm-I'm pregnant." My tears starting to fall.

Halata sa mukha ni mommy ang pagkagulat. Yeah, alam niyang may misunderstandings kami ni Wayne. At alam din niyang linayasan ako nito. But she's not mad at him because it's my fault.

Oo, tatanga-tanga kasi!

"Oh, baby. You're going to be a mom? Oh, I'm always here for you." Sh*t. Lalo tuloy akong naiyak kay mommy.

Don't worry baby, we'll face the trials together.

I touched my tummy. After few months, I know this will be big.

"Ma, should I stop schooling?"

Hinahawi niya ang buhok ko, "No, baby. Hintayin na nating matapos ang sem. After this sem, we'll be flying to US."

US? Paano ang ama ng magiging anak ko?  Gusto ko rin namang maranasan yung nararanasan ng iba. Yung may asawang nag-aalaga sakin sa oras na maglihi na ako. I want to feel all of that! Bakit parang ipinagkakait sakin yung mga bagay na yon?

"But ma, paano si Wayne?"

Mom smiled at me, "Anak, you're big enough. I know you can think about that. Gusto mo bang ipaalam na sakanya yang condition mo or... bear the child without telling him?"

Ano nga ba talaga ang gusto ko? I took a deep breath, "Ma, I think I should tell him. Baka etong baby na 'to binigay ni Lord para magkaayos na kami."

Hinaplos-haplos ni mama ang ulo ko, "Are you sure?" She smiled at me once again.

I nodded as a sign of telling her yes.

Tumayo siya.

"If that's the case, I'll support your decision. Ipapahanap natin yang asawa mo. Hay naku! Dapat hindi ka naiistress ng ganyan. Baka ipaglihi mo ang apo ko sa sama ng loob." Mom chuckled. Masayahin talagang tao si mama, and I adore her because of that.

I hugged her, "Thank you so much, ma. Lagi niyo nalang akong iniintindi."

Oh, umiiyak nanaman! Tama na! Di kapa ba sawang umiyak?

"You're my one and only daughter. Nagawa nga kitang iluwal, yung suportahan ka pa kaya at intindihin ang hindi ko magagawa?" She's smiling.

"Alam mo, maiintindihan mo rin ako anak. Pag nakita mo yang baby mo? For sure, you'll be the best mom."

"Yup. I wanna be like you ma." Mama kissed my forehead.

"Okay. Enough of the dramas! Kailangan na nating hanapin ang asawa mo and then we should have a party!! Magiging lola na ako." Hay nako, mama. Super childish din and kinda bipolar.

Now I know kanino ako nagmana.

[Kurt's POV]

"Pare, I think.. you should stop. Hindi mo na kaya o." F*ck people!

"Ghariette, tell me. Masama ba akong tao?"

"Seriously? Naka-weeds ka ba?"

I just laughed. Fake one.

"Pare, I'm leaving tomorrow afternoon."

"At saan ka nanaman pupunta?"

"New Zealand." Yeah, I booked a flight kanina. Gusto kong magpakalayo-layo. I need to find myself and think.

"Seriously, pare?" I looked at him.

"Pare, bantayan mo yung asawa ko ah? Pag may nakita kang nanliligaw sakanya, call me. Uuwi ako agad para upakan kung sino mang lalaki yon." I will leave because I think that's the right thing for the both of us — space. Yun ang kailangan namin.

"Bakit ka aalis kung mahal mo parin pala?"

"Ginagawa ko 'to dahil mahal ko siya. Ganun yon, pare."

**

Calling all the passengers of flight **** going to New Zealand.

This is it. I'm leaving. Pero hindi dahil aalis ako eh hindi ko na mahal si Isabelle. It's just that this is not our time. Babalik ako. At sa pagbabalik ko, babawiin ko na siya. Sa ayaw o sa gusto man niya. Alam ko, akin lang siya. Walang maaaring mag may-ari sakanya kundi ako lamang.

When I come back... We'll build a family. That's a promise that can't be broke.

But for now, I'm leaving.
