Aki didn't have the strength to get up. She feel so soak and famished but her she is standing in the mirror. She smile at her own reflection.

" Hey" Zeal said. Greeting her and hugging her from behind.

" Hey " aniya.

Nag agahan sila ng tahimik. Nang matapos silang kumain, ni hindi siya hinayaan ni Zeal na tumulong rito. All she do is sit and watch TV, rest and back to the usual again. She's so freaking bored. Ni hindi siya mapakaling walang ginagawa.

" Baby" pagtawag sa kaniya ng binata. Bahagya siyang tumingin rito nang tumunog ang doorbell ng bahay. Pareho silang napatingin sa direksiyon ng pintuan.

" Expecting someone?" aniya.

" Nah. Just sit there" anito. His voice where vivid, calm yet thunderous. She smiled at the thought Zeal is being over protected. Sumandal lamang siya sa sopa at ipinikit ang mga mata ng ilang sandali pa ay isang pamilyar na boses ang gumising sa kaniyang diwa.

" Damn it! Where is she Zeal. Huwag mo akong lokohin, I know she's her, I want to see her" singhal nito bakas sa boses nito ang pag aalala at galit. She know that voice, there's only one person who own that voice. Laking gulat na lamang niya ng makarating sa may pintuan. She stilled when she saw her best friend Lilian punching Zeal at the chest while crying.

" Lilian?" nagtataka niyang sita. Kaagad nitong napansin ang presensiya niya mahigpit siyang niyakap nito. Nanatili siyang tulala sa nangyayari. Hanggang sa paghiwalayin sila ni Zeal at idinistansiya siya nito sa kaibigan.

" Zeal! " isang matalim na tingin ang ipinukol ni Lilian sa binata at hinawakan ang kaibigan sa pulsohan.

" Lilian, please. Aki needs to be careful at everything. Don't stress her" ani ng binata. Napataas naman ang kilay ng dalaga.

" Careful? Stress her out? Loko ka ba, she's my friend Zeal. And if not for Pierce, I'm going crazy looking for my best friend God knows where to be found" pagpapaliwanag nito at kinakausap ang kaibigan sa mga tinging ibinibigay nito.

" Lilian, sorry talaga ha. Pero kailangan ko kasing manatili sa bahay ni Zeal. It's complicated " nahihiyang sita ng dalaga at bahagyang tumingin sa binata. Zeal just held her hand and sigh.

" Tell her baby" wika nito. She stilled and look at her friend who's shock and hard as rock. Lilian's eyes keep glancing at both of them before shouting.

" Baby?! The hell! What's going on here? Aki, he just called you baby! Baby?! And tell me what! " asik nito. Napabuntong hininga na lamang si Aki at tiningnan ng masama ang binata. But Zeal just shrug and smile at her as if he said nothing wrong.

Kanina pa ginugulo si Aki ng kaibigan na mag kuwento. Napapabuntong hininga na lamang siya, pasalamat nalang siya dahil hinayaan sila ng binata na makapag usap ng masinsinan ng kaibigan niya. Nasa harden sila ngayon at kinakabahan siya sa maaaring maging reaksiyon ng kaibigan.

Bago pa siya nagsalita, she sip a small amount of milk as she face her friend.

" Lilian, sasabihin ko lang ito sayo pero promise me. Na sa atin muna ang bagay na ito, ayokong mapahamak ang dinadala kong bata lalo na sa sitwasiyon namin ngayon ni Zeal" she smile and look at her friend who's dumbfounded at what she just told her. And that was the start to explain things to her friend.

Minutes passed before she could finish explaining and telling Lilian all of the details.

" Seriously? So your pregnant and Zeal's the father. Hindi pa rin ako makapaniwala. To think Zeal, who's a man you hated and love at the same time before and a womanizer, and now your pregnant with his child.
