SHE'S all set when he arrived to pick her up for the most awaited ultrasound.
"Ready to go?" He asked.
She nodded then they both headed out to the elevator.
Habang nasa loob sila ng elevator ay nag hanap sya ng tiyempo upang magpaalam dito na babalik na sya sa trabaho. Kasi'y sa totoo lang ay bagot na bagot na sya sa kakatambay sa apartment nya.
"How are you feeling today?" He asked while pushing the lobby button on the elevator.
"Fine, a little dizzy earlier but..... fine." Nakangiti nyang sagot sa binata.
"Okay, good." He said casually.
"Yup, absolutely good." Masayang dagdag ng dalaga. "So have you hired a new secretary to replace me?"
He looked at her suspiciously, like he already knew where the conversation was going. "No, the HR staff is still working on it. Why?" Tanong nito habang palabas sila ng elevator.
"Cool! Can I come back?" Deretsahang hayag ni Akime, abot langit ang ngiti.
He quickly put on his disapproving face. "No, ayokong ma stress ka. It's bad for the baby."
"Shiro, I've been sitting all day in my caoch for the past few weeks and believe me, it's not good for me or for the baby." She retorted like a lawyer defending a client.
He heaved a massive sigh. "Geez! Ang tigas talaga ng ulo mo Me." Reklamo nito. "We'll ask the doctor first." He added then opened the car door for her.
Napaatras si Akime nang maamoy ang loob ng sasakyan ni Shiro.
"Anong problema?" Nagtatakang tanong ng binata.
"Nasusuka ako sa amoy ng sasakyan mo. I'm sorry I can't get in there." She said while covering her nose with a hanky.
Namomroblemang napakamot nalang sa ulo nya si Shiro. Hindi naman ito makapagreklamo dahil parte iyon ng pagbubuntis ng dalaga.
"Magta-taxi nalang ako. Kita nalang tayo sa Oby." Suhistiyon nya. Pinilit ang sarili na ngumiti upang hindi masyadong mabadtrip si Shiro.
"Alone? I don't think so." He said with a touch of worry on his face.
"Shiro, I've lived my entire life all alone. A thirty minute ride to the hospital won't hurt." She said, binabara ang ka-OA-han ng binata.
He chuckled. "I hate it when you shut me up with clever remarks." He said smiling. "Okay, see you later." Wika nito saka inihatid si Akime sa nakaparadang taxi sa unahan nila. But before he closed the door for her ay may inabot itong pera sa driver.
"Manong paki-hatid po sya ng ligtas sa Lunar Hospital. Keep the change po." He said.
"Shiro!! you don't have to do that. Iihatid nya ako ng ligtas kahit walang tip." Reklamo nya. Palibhasa naman kasi, three times the actual fare ang ibinigay nito sa driver. Imbis na ihatid sya nito ligtas ay baka kidnapin pa sya.
"It's okay. I just want to make sure you arrive there safe." Shiro said then finally close the door.
Napa buntong hininga nalang sya sa ka-OAhan ng binata.
"Alagang-alaga po kayo ng boyfriend nyo ma'am ah." Komento ng driver maya-maya. Nakikita nya ang mukha nito from the rearview mirror.
Nginitian lang nya ang mama. One thing she learned about chatty taxi drivers are that they're either a douchebag who keeps on bragging about stuff, osyosero, or a pervert.
THERE WAS no sign of Shiro when she arrived at the hospital. So she decided to wait for him in the lobby.
Her phone rang after sitting there for ten minutes. It was an unknown number.
