Eh Yung Hindi Naman Tayo? DATI (COMPLETED)

EYHNTK- Worries 4

February 24, 2018:

I twirled my phone in my hands then clutched it and sighed. Should I call you again? Text?

"Baka mainis na yun." I thought as I opened a game app in my phone in an attempt to distract myself from the thoughts of you, if that was possible.

Okay. I got from our last conversation how you maybe getting annoyed at how paranoid I sounded, asking how you were like every five minutes, texting and calling you for updates of how your day has been going, where you were, who you where with, at what time, what you ate, what you have been doing.

Although, it was a normal thing for us to text and call each regularly to update each other whenever we have to be in different places because of work of personal reasons, I must admit that after that little joke you told me backstage after our ACTually game earlier, I did start being a little too anxious.

We were just walking into the dressing room when you playfully pinched my side and laughed. "Grabe ka. Nagpa-pasan ka talaga. Ang bigat mo kaya." You pouted but your eyes smirked.

"Sabi ni 'To Jo eh tsaka Darna ka di ba? Eh di dapat malakas. Kayang-kaya mo kaya ako." I grinned.

"Oo nga eh kaso paano naman?" You looked at me with sheepish eyes as you wiggled your eyebrows and subtly touched your belly.

My eyes immediately widened in the sudden remembrance of the possibility that we have been waiting to confirm or dismiss. Guilt washed over me and I collected you in my arms, forgetting where we were and who we were with.

I held you tight as I repeatedly said. "I'm sorry. Sorry. I'm sorry."

You just laughed as you loosely hugged me back and patted my shoulder. "Ano ba? Ang OA ah. Okay lang yun."

"Hindi eh. Hindi okay. I'm sorry. Hindi ako masyadong nag-isip kanina. Di na mauulit. I should have been more careful. I'm sorry." I whispered as I pulled you closer to me. "Paano kung..."

"Huuuy..." You pulled away from me and hit my arm before the words slipped from my mouth. I was then snapped back to the reality that we were in a dressing room full of our co-hosts who were looking at us curiously. "Joke lang kasi. Okay lang ako." You smiled at me and poked my nose before turning to talk to Kuya Paolo who just asked you a question.

I knew you were joking but since I was hit by the realization of the possible complications my lapse in judgment could cause to our possible child, I have been on high alert, wanting to protect you and our possible baby, if there was one, at all costs.

Lost in my thoughts, I didn't realize that I have closed the game app and opened Viber again, ready to type another message for you. Although I was still worried that you might get angry at me for bugging you during the event you attended for MAC and Patrick Starr which you attended, looking extra hot and classy in the black lace bustier outfit. THAT I would deal with later. Fortunately, you called me before I could send what I typed.

I answered immediately. "Hello, Love. Kumusta ka na?"

"Okay naman po. Ikaw? How's work?" There was a ring in your voice that told me you were happy and excited about your evening so far.

"Okay lang din. The usual." I answered. "Mukhang nage-enjoy ang baby girl ko ah. Tapos na ba diyan?" It was getting late and I wondered if you should still be up at this hour in your condition. Wait. What condition? We were not even sure yet.

"Patapos na din kaya go-gora na kami." You said. "Diretso na kami ng ADN Night nito."

"Tutuloy ka?" I frowned.

"Yes. We talked about this. Naka-OO na ako. Nakakahiya naman sa AlDub Nation, nag-effort sila for this oh. Pwede ka naman din humabol." You said.

"Di pa tapos dito, Love, eh. Hanggang anong oras ba dun?"

"I don't know, Love. Party yun so malamang mga 4 or 5 am." You told me.

"Ha? Hindi na pwede yung ganoon ka-late. Uwi ka na ng 1. Kita na lang tayo sa condo mo."

"What? Tatay RJ..." You started to protest and I could imagine your little pout that would normally make me give in but not this time.

"Di ba may Zambales ka pa bukas? Tapos magpupuyat ka? Hindi pwede yun. Daan ka lang dun tapos uwi na."

I clearly heard your deep sigh and grunt so I expected another rebuttal but instead you said. "Okay. Fine. Can I at least have a drink? I mean you know, paano kung abutan ako? Nakakahiya naman kung..."

"No." I was surprised at how I cut your sentence with my refusal. "Say, no. You have work early tomorrow. And you can't have a drink di ba masama yun sa'yo?"

"What? Kailan pa?" You giggled.

"Since you... since we..." I sighed. "Okay. Alam kong we're not sure yet pero wala namang masama if you take extra care of yourself now and avoid things that could be bad for the..."

"Baby?" You continued softly. The line was quiet for a few seconds as I imagined you were in deep thought as I was. "Okay." You said. "Until we know for sure if meron or wala, I will be more careful."

"Thank you, Love."

"RJ..."

"Hmmm?"

"Naiisip mo na ba talagang maging Daddy?" You asked. "Ready ka na talaga?"

"Oo naman. I'm looking forward to raising a family with you, Menggay ko." I answered sincerely. "Ikaw? Mommy?" I asked.

"With you, for you, ready na din." You told me and again the line fell silent but it was a contented silence. "Love, we're here na. Sandali lang ako dito. See you later."

"Sige. Ingat ka. I'll see you later. I love you, Meng."

"I love you too."
