ALTHY'S P.O.V.

"Gun will fucking kill me."Gino mumbled at binaon ang mukha nya sa kanyang mga palad.

I bit my lip to hide guilt.

"Im sorry.Gino please, just pretend.After I give birth to this child babalik ako ng New York, doon ko sya papalakihin."I said

Tinawagan ko agad sya kagabi at sinabi sakanya ang nagyare.I trust Gino that much kaya alam kong matutulungan nya ako.

Sabi nya mag-kita daw kami sa coffee shop first thing in the morning and here we are, eating breakfast together.

"Althy, alam mo ba yang ginagawa mo?Gun has to know.Responsibilidad nya ang batang dinadala mo."he said

I played with my fingers, "I know."I said

"He deserves to know the truth."

Agad akong umiling, "I won't.Akin lang ang batang 'to."matigas kong sabi

"Ang tigas ng ulo mo."he shook his head

"So, payag ka na mag-panggap?"

He stared at me as he was reading my eyes.

"You're being serious?"he asked

"Yeah.Kung ito lang ang paraan para mapalayo ako kay Gun."I said

I heard him sigh.

"Okay."

My face lighten.Napatayo ako sa upuan ko at nagpunta sa likuran nya, yumuko ako at binack hug sya.

"Thank you so much.This means a lot to me."I mumbled

"I'll do anything for my friend."he smiled

Nasa ganung position kami nang may pekeng umubo sa harap namin.

Sabay kaming nag-angat ng tingin.

"Goodmorning."he casually said

Agad akong bumitaw kay Gino.

"Sabroso."Gino stood up at inabot ang kamay kay Gun pero si Gago tinitigan lang sya.

"Natividad."he didn't even bother to shook hands with Gino kaya parang napahiyang ibinaba ni Gino ang kamay nya.

I clung into his arms to enlighten him.

"What are you doing here?"tanong ko

"I just stopped by to buy coffee."walang emosyon nyang sabi

"Okay."

Akala ko aalis na sya pero tinignan nya lang kami.

Ano bang problema ng lalaking to?

"Pwede ba kitang maka-usap?"he asked me

"Sorry, next time na lang, busy pa kasi kami ng honey ko ee."pa-sweet kong sabi

His emotions died down at binigyan langa ko ng isang tango bago tumalikod at umalis.

"He still loves you."biglang sabi ni Gino

"He doesn't know that word."

GUN'S P.O.V.

I feel helpless habang pinapanuod ko silang mag-tawanan.

Glass walls ang coffee shop kaya kitang kita ko sila sa loob mula dito sa kotse ko.
