"Good morning to all of you who are here. Its good to see a lot of the same faces after how many years. Cliche as I may sound but our company would not reach the heights without all of you. You may consider me and Andrea as the captains of this ship, but we cannot sail alone. We have you guys as our compass and the sails thats keeps our business afloat.. Lets continue working everyday guided with our companys mission and vision. But before I end my speech. I would want to thank all of your families, for they are our real source of strength to work better everyday. So, to my very own husband, Mr. Clay Dem Paredes, thanks my dear husby for being my source of inspiration to become a better woman and boss continually to my people, you dont know how much courage you have inflicted in my being to balance life and work. Gracias to all of you and Cheers!"

Nang makabalik ako sa upuan ay tumabi na ako sa asawa ko and held his hand.

"so, I give you strength to be a better woman...?"

"unlimited kaba? paulitulit ka eh!"

I just heard him chuckle.

Naghanap ako ng CR dahil biglang bumaligtad ang sikmura ko. Ive been vomiting back and forth...

Nang lumabas ako sa CR na hilong-hilo parin. Have I possibly eaten something bad...?

Akmang hahakbang na ako pabalik ng venue ng parang nagdilim ang paligid...then I felt some arms held me from behind.

I opened my eyes and saw all white walls.

"thank god youre awake... nahimatay ka kanina. I brought you here in the nearest hospital"

A guy in white coat wearing stethoscope is now standing in front of us.

"Mr. and Mrs., yung pag kahilo ni Mrs. ay normal lang dala ng kanyang 1st trimester... buntis ho kayo just a few weeks old and medyo maselan kaya kailangang bed ridden kahit the 1st trimester man lang..."

Nagkatinginan kami ni Clay. I cant read the espression in his eyes. Nahawakan ko ang tiyan ko. That means... Im pregnant. Bumyahi na kami ni Clay pabalik ng Lecena. Wala siyang ka imik2x but ramdam ko ang pag iingat niya sa bawat humps na madadaanan namin.

Is he possibly excited too about our baby...?

nang makauwi kami ng Hacienda. Pina station niya sa akin si Aling pacing at Laura. Lahat ng vitamins ay kinompleto niya. He also had my fridge filled with different fruits and juices.

Pero di ko maintindihan bakit pina transfer niya ang lahat ng mga damit niya sa ibang kwarto. Di ba okay na kami? whats going on now?

"Manang Pacing, pwedi hung puntahan si Clay at sabihin mong hinahanap ko. Kung maari niya akng puntahan dito..."

Sinunod naman ni manang Pacing ang utos ko. SHe came back immediately and told me;

"mam, wala daw po si sir eh, sabi ni Ronaldo umalis daw at sa makalawa pa uuwi. Hindi naman daw nag sabi kung saan pupunta..."

"ganun ho ba? bkit kaya hindi man lang nag paalam sakin?" I felt a pang on my chest. May nagawa ba akong mali? why suddenly did he went cold? or baka maselan lang akong mag isip dahil buntis ako...?

Hindi ko man lang siya matawagan because I dont have his number. It is midnight at andito sa kwarto natulog sina Laura at Manang Pacing. Its already 12 mindnight, hindi ako makatulog... Im expecting na sana uuwi ang asawa ko...

Dumaan ang isang linggo, pero walang Clay na umuuwi.

She felt so aggravated.

Wala na ba siyang silbi dito? ayaw ba nitong mag buntis siya...?

Masisira na ang ulo niya sa kakaisip.
