Heart: Under Construction

Yats & Babs

So ayon kwinento ko na nga kay Dave yung mga pinagsasasabi sa akin ng ex ko.

Guess what? Syempre kulang nalang ipa-padlock ko ang buong bahay nila para lang pigilan s'ya sa binabalak n'yang gawin.

He's over protective of me, "Isabelle, alam mong pagdating sa'yo I'll go through everything" he said in a more serious tone.

"Dave, I'm fine really, at hindi naman ako papayag na agawin n'ya ang anak ko, makikipagpatayan ako pag nangyari 'yon"

Anak ko na pinag-uusapan kaya lahat ay kaya kong gawin

"Just don't tell Mom" he added. Naku kung s'ya over protective sa akin, yung Nanay masyadong underrated ang over protective.

"Omg Dave, as if naman i-trigger ko si Ninang!" Hinampas ko sya sa braso. Kaya mas naging magaan ang atmosphere namin.

I'm in the middle of watching a movie, when I heard footsteps.

Good thing ay may complete entertainment system itong kwarto ko which most probably sinandya ni Ninang.

I ignored what I've just heard and focus my attention to the movie. Why indulging to the goodness of my ice cream. Pasalubong ni Ninang, tho sabi n'ya last na 'to since I shouldn't be eating sweets.

I then heard glass shuttering so I started to panic. I'm trembling while I was reaching for my phone! Damn bakit parang ang layo ng side table ko.

"Oh shit!" I hissed and stared at my phone who's lying on the floor in horror.

I immediately bolt out of bed and pick it up. I sat down at the side of my bed hugging my knees and started to dial Dave's number.

Para pa naman mantika 'yon matulog!

No answer!

Holy shit what if may nakapasok na magnanakaw or worst a murderer. Hindi ako natatakot for my own life but for my son. Hindi pa man din s'ya nakakalabas ay nasa kapahamakan na yung buhay n'ya.

Different scenerios are playing on my mind right now. Nangingilid na yung luha ko.

Pero kahit na ganon kung wala akong gagawin at maghihintay nalang na isa-isa kaming patayin ng kung sino man I'd rather die fighting.

So naglakas loob ako lumabas ng kwarto. Good thing at may baseball bat akong nakita sa kwarto ko.

Dahan-dahan akong bumaba, I saw someone's silhouette.

I ready myself to attack, I counted in whisper before swaying the bat pero hindi ko napigilang pumikit.

Tapos naramdaman ko that the bat stopped halfway through.

Laking gulat ko pagbukas ng mata ko.

Dave's cousin holding the end of the bat, tapos medyo nanginginig yung kamay nya at ang pula pula na.

Nabitawan namin pareho yung bat tsaka ako napatakip ng bibig. Omg I nearly forgot na nandito s'ya. Lumingap-lingap ako sa paligid and I saw a glass of water and a piece of cake.

He's eating and I'm such a paranoid.

I felt guilty, namamaga yung kamay n'ya.

"Wow, for a petite pregnant woman, you're unbelievably strong" he commented.

"I'm sorry, I thought you're some serial killer" I swear he almost laugh but somehow he manage not to.

"You're so amusing" he said and ate the last piece of his cake. He put the dishes to the sink and added "Good night, Babs" with that, he left me dumbfounded.
