Thunderbird Resort, La Union Philippines

“I now pronounce you man and wife,” as the priest finally proclaimed. (Wedded--->)

The knot has been tied. Wedding rings had worn on their fingers. She is now an Aragon. Oh well, masyadong magarbo ang kasalan sa La Union para sa isang arranged marriage. It was not the typical arranged marriage na pinagplanuhan ng mga magulang at aayaw naman ang mga anak pero pilit pa ring kinakasal. The marriage is whole lot different.

Sacramento, California five months later...

“I really like you, Doctor!” 15-year old girl confessed inside her suite after Dr. Aragon made his rounds. He was almost on his way out when she burst out with those words.

He looked back at her and smiled. That’s all he can give and left the room.

At the nurse’s station, “Geez, doctor broke another heart again,” one of the nurses, uttered.

“You bet. He really is something,” the other one commented.

He took his key on his pocket to open the main door. Madilim na ang buong bahay, mag-a-alas onse na ng gabi. Tumuloy ito sa kwarto ng namalayan nitong nakasindi pa ang study lamp at ang PC. May narinig itong ingay sa loob ng banyo. He went in and there he found a girl on her pajamas. She was hurling, very pale and holding tight on the sink.

“Hey, you’re home,” malamyang bati nito sa kanya.

“Yeah, you don’t look okay,” puna nito.

“I guess it’s just an eye strain. I’ll go visit my ophthalmologist tomorrow,”

“No, see an Ob,”

Napatingin sa kanya ang babae.

“I’m a doctor and you are my wife. We had our honeymoon and it’s possible,”

Namula ang namumutlang asawa nito sa sinabi niya. Napayuko lang ito. He came closer to her and carried her on his arms. Nagpupumiglas pa sana ito pero pinigilan ng asawa nito.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to make things awkward to you,”

“I’m pregnant,” she admitted. “2 months,”
