[Fia's POV]

"Cas..." I rested my face in my hands. D-did Kayden tell her? Who else knows?

"Huwag kang mag-alala, Ate. I won't tell anyone," she answered, reassuring me.

"Sinabi ba sa'yo ng Kuya mo?" Nagtaas ako ng tingin sa kanya. The door to the kitchen was closed so we couldn't hear what was going on outside.

She shook her head and turned her back para kumuha ng baso sa cupboard. "Walang sinabi si Kuya, " she sighed and faced me. "Naalala mo nung birthday ni Kuya, Ate? I don't know but I felt something so strange when I saw the two of you. Lalo na si Kuya. I have never seen him look at someone else kagaya kung pa'no ka niya tingnan. Kilala ko si Kuya. Amongst my siblings sa kanya ako pinakaclose. He was hiding it from me pero nahahalata ko sa kung pa'no ka niya tingnan at ikaw rin sa kanya. You were exchanging meaningful glances." She giggled na mukha pang kinikilig. "And I saw him holding your hand under the table nung pinadede ko si Bubble. It was enough to confirm that uhmm..there might me something going on between you two...And then when we had our dinner here with you. He was acting the same towards you."

Wala pa namang namamagitan sa amin nung birthday niya...Well, uhm except that we... did have sex during that night dahil nawala ako sa katinuan and I just indecisively asked for his touch.

"Oh Cas..." nasapo ko muli ang ulo ko. After all alam pala niya?

"Huwag mo nalang masyadong intindihin si Mommy. Naiintindihan ko naman kung hindi pa kayo handa ni Kuya ngayon. And uhmm, sigurado naman akong mahal ka ni Kuya. He loves you, Ate." Nagsalin siya ng tubig sa baso saka iyon nilapag sa harap ko. "Drink that, Ate. Huwag kang masyadong mag isip."

"Thanks Cas," I said and took the glass. Dahan dahan ko iyong ininom.

Nagpaflash back parin sa isip ko yung narinig ko kanina sa mall lounge. Baka naman assuming lang ang Bella na yun at isa ngalang iyon sa mga make up stints niya para sumikat? She was only dragging Kayden's name for publicity dahil may bago silang movie.

I don't know. Kayden's every woman's man. Hindi ko rin maalis sa isip ko iyong nangyari sa mommy ko noon. I'm scared.

Nanginginig ang kamay na inilapag ko ang baso sa mesa. I felt like vomiting and this has to be the first.

I've read about morning sickness and feeling nauseated in the first trimester of pregnancy pero hindi ko iyon naramdaman. Actually, there were no signs at all except for my unusual cravings na sobra kong hindi pinapahalata kay Kayden.

"Ate, okay ka lang?" Umikot si Cassy sa kinauupuan ko ng nasapo ko ang bibig at lalamunan ko. I was starting to gag.

"Oh ... halika ka Ate," napatayo ako at inalalayan niya ako patungo sa sink.

There, I started to puke while Cassy was rubbing my back. Pakiramdam ko, lahat ng kinain ko simula kaninang umaga naisuka ko.

"Cas..." I whined helplessly habang pinupulsuhan niya ako. I don't think this has anything to do with my pregnancy. This is stress. I put a hand protectively to my tummy praying that my baby was okay.

"Buntis ka, Ate..." Cassy said more like a statement than a question. She must know by feeling my pulse. She had been pregnant once. "Alam ni Kuya?"

Napailing ako habang naghihilamos. "Please Cas, sana atin atin lang muna 'to ngayon. Just give me sometime..." Nag-abot ako ng tissue at napaharap sa kanya. Hindi pa siya nakakasagot ay bigla namang bumukas ang pinto.
