I felt really dizzy the moment I woke up. Para akong nadudual na hindi. Is this kind of a morning sickness or something? Ugh. Whatever it is, it's not freaking cool. I grabbed my purse and got my medicine there, I've been dealing with this morning sickness for the past 5 hours! Tuwing sinusubukan ko naman tumayo, I always ended up crumpling myself on the floor because of the severe stomach ache. Like seriously? May sakit na naman ba ako o kinakarma na ako?

Tss. If this is my karma for leaving Ford last night, then the hell I care? He deserves it. Bitter na kung bitter but that's the least thing I can do to get him suffer even just a bit. That asshole.

While I was mocking myself, I heard a loud knock. Goodness gracious, pinaparusahan ba talaga ako? Kahit para akong pilay maglakad, I still tried reaching the door and opened it. Shock filled with my face when I saw Miko leaning against the wall. His eyes locked with mine. I was left speechless for a minute. He somehow changed, physically. Lalo siyang naging cute and charming.

I was searching for words to say when he interrupted me.

"Mind if I come in?" He's approach is a bit strange. Para akong naninibago. When was the last time he visited me here? Right, when I was sick... And now he's back, may sakit na naman ako. But wait.. The last time he's here was also the time when Ford and him fought, and they almost killed each other!

"No. I don't mind." I said leading him inside. "Uh. Long time no see.." I started. He sighed and looked at me intently.

"Hindi na ako magpapaligoy ligoy pa, Xandra. I came here to apologize.. Although I shouldn't be but for your sake, I will." There's an abrupt bad feeling that rose inside me. I bowed my head in embarrassment.

"Miko, dapat ako ang nagsasabi niyan sayo. You see, hindi man lang kita natawagan after nun. Hindi man lang kita nakamusta.." I said in a small voice.

He chuckled. "Oo nga eh. Ang sakit kaya ng ginawa mo." Hinawakan niya pa yung dibdib niya na parang nasasaktan.

"I'm so sorry! Miko naman eh." He laughed.

"Joke lang, ikaw naman." He smiled. Those smile. Gusto kong itanong kung totoo ba yang ngiting yan kasi alam ko talaga hindi. Yung joke? Bakit parang may laman yung joke niya?

Napahawak ako bigla sa bibig ko nun maramdaman ko na parang nadudual na naman ako, tumakbo ako sa CR.

"Xandra? Ayos ka lang?" I heard him called me. I gurgled mouthwash and went to him.

"Uh, sorry about that. Medyo di ata ako okay ngayon eh." He rose an eyebrow to me.

"Are you taking good care of yourself here?" Nilapitan niya ako at hinapo ang palad niya sa noo ko. "May sinat ka, Xandra." Then he looked at me as if he was searching for something. "Namumutla ka din." He sighed. "Kailangan mo ng magpacheck up."

Natameme nalang ako bigla. Bilib din ako sa kanya, bakit kahit nasasaktan na siya, hindi niya pa din ako iniiwan? Hindi niya ako binabaliwala, hindi niya ako iniiwasan? Shouldn't he be avoiding me to save himself from being hurt? Hinawakan niya ang kamay ko at hinila ako papunta sa car park. Hindi na ako nakipag talo kasi wala din naman akong magagawa. I think I should take his advice. 

"Mag-asawa po ba kayo?" Tanong nung Doctor sa amin. Miko shooked his head and chuckled.

"Soon po, Doc." Agad ko siyang kinurot sa tagiliran at pinandilatan ng mata. He laughed.

"Nakakatuwa naman." She smiled. "First of all, I wanna congratulate the both of you, kasi normal lang naman ang nangyayari sa'yo, iha." Napataas ang kilay ko at tinignan si Miko. Normal pa ba yun?

"Doc, are you sure? Normal po ba ang lagi akong nagsusuka at nahihilo?" Once again, she smiled and nodded.

"Yes, it's indeed normal for a pregnant woman."

"I'm sorry, did I hear that right?" I chuckled. Lol, tatawa na ba ako? Pinaglolo-loko ata kami ni Miko dito ah.

"Yes, you heard it right. Congratulations, you are one month pregnant!" 

Kanina ko pa hinahaplos haplos ang tiyan ko. Hindi kaya ngkamali lang yung Doctor? Eh kung magpa-second opinion kaya ako? Hindi talaga magsink in sa utak ko yung mga nangyayari. Tapos ano? Tatay si Ford? Teka, tatawa lang talaga ako ng malakas.

"O," Miko gave me a bottle of water, kinuha ko 'yun at binuksan ng walang pagaalangan. "Oy, hinay hinay lang, baka malunod ka diyan." Hindi ko siya pinansin. He sat next to me and looked at me.

"What?" Nawirduhan ako sa kanya at sa tingin niya. He smiled.

"Congrats, Xandra." Nangaasar ba 'to?!

"Hindi ako masaya, Miko. Kaya hindi ko kailangan ng congratulations mo." Namomproblema na nga ako, iko'congratulate pa ako!? Nakakatuwa.

"Alex." That voice. Napalingon ako sa kanya and I felt my knees weakened, buti nalang at nakaupo ako.

"Why are you here?" I grimaced. What the fuck is he doing here? Is he my stalker or something?!

"Are you pregnant?" Then It felt like he threw me a nuclear bomb.
