Pano nga ba nangyari ang lahat? Hmm. At bakit biglaan?

2 weeks ago, I collapsed after our shoot for time magazine. I just woke up lying on the hospital bed and there were Kuya Leo, Yvan, Jessica and Krystal. They were about to cry kaya naman nag panic ako.

"You all look like you're about to cry. Is it that bad?" I asked.

"Ha? What do you mean?" Kuya asked.

"How am I? Iyak kayo ng iyak. Eh kung sabihin niyo muna kaya sa akin kung anong sakit ko." I asked then rolled my eyes. Without any cue, sabay sabay silang lumapit sa akin for a hug.
"Ano ba. I can't breath!" Reklamo ko sa kanila kaya agad namang kumalas.

"Congratulations Steph!" Naka ngiting bati nila sa akin. Wait. Mamamatay na ako tas congratulations? Mga ugok din to sila ah!

"You're 5 weeks pregnant my dear cousin." Nakangiting sabi ni Yvan. Wait. Sandali lang.

"You're 5 weeks pregnant my dear cousin."

"You're 5 weeks pregnant my dear cousin."

"You're 5 weeks pregnant my dear cousin."

I I am what?

"I'm what?" Hindi makapaniwalang tanong ko sa kanila.

"You're pregnant ate. Congratulations! Magkaka pamangkin na ako." Sabi ni Krystal at nginitian pa ako. I can't believe it. Oh yes. We did it, trice. Hindi ko naman alam na ganun ka effective.

"Nasan si Khun?" I asked.

"So I'm right. He's the father." Jessica grinned then teased me.
"I told you. He still loves you." Maya maya pa biglang pumasok si Khun sa kwarto ko. He quickly checked on me.

"What happened to you?" Nag aalala niyang tanong. Sina Kuya naman, lumabas muna saglit kasi alam nilang mag uusap kami.

"I'm okay. I just collapsed."

"You sure? Are you hurt somewhere?" Umiling ako.

"I have something to say."

"Go on baby." he said while his hands placed on my head.

"Do you remember what we did two months ago?" He smiled. Oo. Alam kong tandang tanda niya pa yun

"Oo naman. Why?" I took a deep breath.

"They said I'm pregnant." he looked so surprised. Not knowing how to react. He stood up and said,

"I'm sorry. I I cant." He said at parang nag pintig yung tenga ko.

"What did you say?" I asked.

"I cant accept that." I just laughed. Sarcastically.

"Mag kasama natin tong ginawa. Pareho tayong nag enjoy nung ginawa tas iiwan mo sa akin yung resposibility? Ang unfair naman yata nun." I said as a tear escaped from my eyes. Tiningnan niya naman ako at agad na niyakap.

"I'm sorry. Nabigla lang ako. Sorry baby. Siguro na overwhelmed lang ako. Sorry. I didn't meant to say that."

"Hindi. A ayaw mo yata eh."

"No. Of course I always dreamed to be a father! Stop crying na baby." He said then kissed me on the forehead.

"Talaga ah?"

"Yes. Hindi ko tatakbuhan ang responsibility ko. I promise. We'll get married. Tell me when." He said then smiled. Napa ngiti nalang din tuloy ako.

Two days after that, he proposed. Of course I said yes. Mas excited pa nga siya kesa sa akin eh.  We already announced our wedding to the public. I even announce about my break. Pero hindi namin sinabi yung reason. Of course. Not now. Surprise nalang yun.

"Mabuti naman at magkaka apo na kami. Thank you, Khun and Steph ha?" Naka ngiting sabi sa amin ni Tito Anton na may kasama pang pangloloko.

Well today is our engagement party. 2 weeks from now, ikakasal na kami ni Khun. Oh yes. That fast. Gusto kasi nila na kasal na kami bago pa lumabas at lumaki si baby.

"Mabuti nalang din at mabilis ang magaling si khun dahil naka score agad." Dad said which actually made Tito Anton and Tita Christine laugh.

"Kamusta pala ang process ng preparations hija? Nakapag decide ka na ba ng design ng gown mo?" Tita asked.

"Okay naman po. And yes. My gown is already in the making. And nakapili na din po kami ng venue. Pipili nalang po ng mga ilalagay sa menu and of course the guests." I said.

"Ano bang gusto niyo? Open to public?" Mom asked.

"Nope. Hindi po. As much as possible, family and friends lang po. Siyempre yung mga dati naming boss. There'll be some media men pero limited lang po ang number nila." Sagot naman ni khun, nag nod nalang sila. After finishing dinner, umuwi na sila at natulog na ako.

KINABUKASAN I woke up early 'cause I have to go to SM today. Pinapatawag ako ni Sunny. -_-

"Good morning." Bati sa akin ni Jessica.

"Aga mo ah." I said.

"May board meeting today eh. Pupunta ka SM today? Paki sabay nalang si K. You know. She can't drive."

"Okay. I'm going now." Paalam ko. I just waved at maya maya, sumunod sa akin si Krystal.

I have a photoshoot today. This will be my last dahil alam kong hindi na ako makakapag shoot ng maayos habang lumalaki si baby. :)
