It Just Happened In One Night

IJHION Kabanata 12

SICK.

INGRID POV

I was reviewing negotiations and other designs for our new set of furnitures  made of wood materials that came from Japan.

I am still busy even I have a small little one here inside of me. That day, when Adam said I was pregnant. I don't know what reaction I should do. Tatawa ba ako? Iiyak? Magagalit? Hindi ko alam! I was totally blank and still on process.  But then, I realized. I'm caring another  life in my bump! I'm gonna be a mother! And I'm so happy about having her!

Pero kay Adam? Hindi nag iingat.

Bumukas ang pinto at nakapamulsang pumasok ang hindi nag-iingat na naging dahilan ng pagkakaroon ko ng melon sa tiyan. He still wearing his corporate attire. Marahil ay katatapos lamang umattend nito ng kanilang meeting kanina.

He went straight to me and gave me a soft kiss.

"Done? Let's have a dinner."

"Yes. Dinner? Adam maaga pa para sa hapunan. Ala singko palang ng hapon."

"Honey, Advance lang tayo ng one hour. Malapit din naman mag alas sais kaya hapunan na rin yun. Hmn."

Umirap nalang ako sa kaniya.

"Ma'am, Mr. Acosta is here." My secretary said in intercom.

Tinaasan ako ng kilay ni Adam ng marinig niya ang nasabing apelyedo. Sumandal siya sa aking lamesa at pinagkrus ang kaniyang mga braso.

"Accompany him."

"Yes. Ma'am."

"What he will doing here?" Sambit niya pagkatapos ko kausapin ang sekretarya.

"Malay ko. Tanong mo siya." simple kong sabi habang inaayos na ang aking mga gamit.

"We're not close."

"As if I care."

"Honey, your moods. Kasama ba iyan sa pagbubuntis mo?"

"Pake mo."

"I care because I love you."

Uminit ang aking pisnge at hindi na pinahalata. Sampalin ko 'tong tatay mo anak! Pinapakilig ako!

Nang bumukas ang pinto hindi man lang naalarma si Adam sa pagdating ni James. He still leaning on my desk acting he is the boss. Napatingin si James kay Adam pero bumaling din agad sa akin ang kaniyang mata hindi alam kung tutuloy ba siyang umupo sa tapat ng lamesa ko o tatayo nalang  dahil nakabalandra itong si Adam sa harap.

"Adam, we have something to discuss."

"Ok, I'll wait you outside." he lean and kiss my forehead.

"Beware Ingrid. I don't want my baby looks like him. Hmn." He whisper.

Pigil ang aking pag ngiti sa turan ng gagong 'to. Ginawa pang aso si James! Ano BEWARE OF JAMES ganon? Abnormal talaga.

Hindi umupo si James aakmang aalis kaya't naguluhan ako sa kaniyang kinilos.

"James." 

He look back on me. "I heard about your pregnancy. So... Hmnn.... Congrats. I'm happy for you." Ngumiti siya bago tumulak para umalis.

I smile. Hindi ko alam pero gumaan ang aking pakiramdam sa kaniyang sinabi. I never regret for loving him because he was part of my life. He was part of my journey and everything that happened between us was destiny to happen.  Destiny to apart and destiny to grow as an individual.
