Eh Yung Hindi Naman Tayo? DATI (COMPLETED)

EYHTK- Worries 5

February 27, 2018:

For some unknown reason, I was feeling extra gloomy today. I just really feel so bad about myself and the world. I felt like the entire universe has conspired to officially make this A Bad Day For Maine.

From the #tenbits one-day trip to the beach for a shoot; to the exhausting trip back from Zambales to Manila because of the weekend traffic; to the incident at the baranggay today when a strange woman deliberately hit my arm out of no where - that really hurt; to me finding out that the reason why I declined an invitation to the Omega watch event in (Oh my god!) Amanpulo, the supposed taping for our episode in the Lenten special, was cancelled, to this pesky cramps and fever that has been bothering me since I got home- alone in my condo.

All the physical and emotional strains, of this hell day finally dragged me to the dark pits, tortured and exhausted me until there was nothing left to do but let the painful lump in my throat break down in sobs that shook my entire body and let the tears flow freely from my tired eyes as I curled up in bed. With the soothing and emotional voices of Chris, Ed, Sam and Bruno singing to me, I cried and cried until my chest hurt from the sob and my eyes were swollen.

Until finally, after almost an hour of bawling my eyes out, I realized how stupid I was for crying so much over absolutely no reason but a little fever and pain and having nothing go my way today. Not that I wasn't used to that. Just really was a bad day I guess.

I tweeted to my followers, to get some fun out of my lame cry fest and maybe someone can figure out my emotional mess for me. I wanted to call you but I also didn't want to bother you at work so I just sent you a text for you to read whenever it was convenient for you. Although I really want to have my Nanay hug and take care of me, I didn't want to be a burden over nothing.

It's not the end of the world and I should stop crying like it was. The bruise on my arm doesn't hurt that much, I just read the message that the taping will resume tomorrow so it's not like I can really go to Amanpulo anyway, and the sickness I that I was feeling wasn't anything that can't be cured by some meds and rest.

After a brief exchange with the fans on Twitter, checking my temperature which flashed at 38.2 and taking some meds, I crashed on my bed and slept.

"Bakit di ka tumawag?" I heard whisper and thought I heard a sob. Strong arms wrapped around me and held me closer. I sighed and snuggled to the familiar warmth that longed to enclose me. "Dapat tumawag ka. Naalagaan sana kita." In the limbo of sleep and waking I was in, I felt your gentle hand caress my hair and your soft lips press on my temple.

"I'm sorry." Your lips were on my cheek as you sniffled. "I should have been here with you." I felt moisture on my skin but I wasn't crying so I slowly opened my eyes to see.

"Love?" I called but my voice came out too soft and hoarse.

You quickly dried your eyes and smiled slowly but your tears still glimmered on your cheeks. I reached up and touched your face, gently, lovingly as I looked into your eyes. "Kumusta ka? Bakit ka umiiyak?"

"Ako dapat nagtatanong niyan." You said as a mix of chuckle and sobs escaped from your lips before you cupped my cheek and kissed me slowly.

"Kumusta ka na? Bakit ka umiiyak?" You repeated my questions to you as your thumb gently stroked my cheek.

"Okay na ako. Andito ka na eh." I smiled and craned my neck to kiss your lips. "Also... mukhang magkaka-dino na ako." I told you as I settled in your arms as you pulled me into a cuddle, my head on your bulging bicep and your leg on my hip. "Makakahinga na tayo nang maluwag. I'm not pregnant."

"Talaga?" You sighed and when I looked up, I saw a look of disappointment in your face. "Sure na ba yan? Papabili na ba ako ng napkins kay Mama Ten?"

"Sure na pero di na kailangan pabili kay Mama Ten. Meron pa naman diyan. Tsaka wala pang flow. I just feel the cramps na though not as painful as usual. Siguro dahil delayed na siya masyado kaya di na niya ako sinaktan ng bongga. Yun nga lang may fever." I chuckled.

"Wala pang flow? Love..." Your said as your eyes sparked with a glint of hope. "May nabasa kasi ako na normal daw sa babae na magkaroon ng mild cramps in her early pregnancy. Isa daw sa signs yun."

"Nagbabasa ka ng tungkol sa pagbubuntis? Bakit? Pang-ilang pregnancy scare mo na ba to?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Huy! Ngayon lang ako nagbasa-basa ah. Simula nung mag-umpisa tayong mag-wonder kung magkaka-baby na tayo." You pouted and I laughed.

"Joke lang yun. Alam ko naman." I grinned. "Anyway, sana dinamay mo sa pagbabasa mo yung tungkol sa pagka-delay ng babae na pwedeng umabot ng hanggang 35 days ang isang cycle so almost two weeks delayed pero hindi naman buntis depende sa level of stress and all."

"You still think you're not pregnant and I still think that you maybe pregnant hangga't wala akong nakikitang dugo. Pa-checkup na lang kasi tayo." You frowned.

"Ano ba? Wag na nga di ba? Magpa-panic lang ang buong sandatahang lakas ng mga Mendoza at Faulkerson tapos wala naman pala. Love..." I reached my hands up and clamped your face between my palms. "Katawan ko to, di ba? So alam ko, kung kelan ako magkakaroon at hindi. Sinasabi ko sa'yo na magkakaroon na ako, eto nga oh. Maga na tong boobs ko at masakit na nga ang puson ko." I told you as I absentmindedly guided your hand to my chest to prove my point.

"Sabi mo yan ah." You smirked. "Eto ba yung maga?" You raised an eyebrow as your hand squeezed.

I gasped. "Oo ng- aaah..." My response was caught in my throat and replaced with a moan as with one quick move, you yanked my tank top down and took one pebbled tip into your mouth.

So are they really off the hook?

You see, the symptoms Maine described are the same symptoms of early pregnancy too. 😏
