I returned Ate Bea's phone.
I chose to ignore it again.
I wont let any one spoil my happiness. This day may have started badly but it ended so good.
Inaya ko na si Ate Bea na bumalik sa loob. Hindi na rin kami nagusap pa tungkol dun.
When we came in they were arguing about the cheats they did kanina sa game.
So nahiya lang pala sila sa mga elders kanina?
Tsk tsk...
I walked towards Jema whose looking at all the gifts.
Parang sa labas na kami matutulog dahil sa mga 'to.
2 cribs, may bed pa, may duyan, sobrang daming toys, feeding bottles that can supply a hundred babies, and lots and lots of clothes.
Maybe we should put all of these in sale.
Kaso baka patayin nila ako lahat.
Even Mom was shocked upon learning what Dad gave to us.
I am sure that they were arguing as of the moment. Mom will have no choice but to cancel her orders.
"Love, ang dami nito! Masusuot ba ni baby lahat ng damit na to? Yung feeding bottles magagamit ba to lahat?!" exclaimed Jema.
"Tapon natin after? Wag na natin labhan ang clothes after gamitin. Yung feeding bottles wag na linisin. Hahaha!"
Ako lang ang natawa sa joke ko.
"Akala ko nga diaper ang marami kasi yun ang obvious na kakailanganin lagi. O kaya formula milk." said Jema.
"Ah, Love I forgot to tell you, remember walang gift si Jules and Ate Bei? Jules will supply the diaper. One year supply actually. Ate Bei for the milk. Hintayin ka lang daw nila manganak para alam nila kung ano ang ipapadala sa atin."
Kaninang umaga pa nila yun sinabi. Nakalimutan ko lang dahil sa text na yun.
Jema was surprised. Tumingin siya sa mga kaibigan namin na nagkakasayahan. Pagbalik ko ng tingin ko sa kanya, teary eyed na siya.
And then she stopped.
She held my arm and looked at me.
Tatanungin ko pa lang sana kung bakit pero kinuha niya ang kamay ko at dinikit sa tiyan niya.
I felt a bulk on the upper left side of her tummy. Then it traveled slowly to the right.
I was in awe.
W O W...
I felt this sudden warmth in my heart.
Oh, my heart hurts so good...
I love you baby, so bad...
It's as if my son wants to join our conversation or the party.
The bulk keeps on moving and I was mesmerized again and again.
"Does it hurt?" I asked Jema.
She mouthed, 'hinde...'
"Anong nangyayare? Ate may masakit ba sa'yo? Bakit ganyan ang ayos niyo?" tanong ni Mafe.
"Si baby sumisipa." -Jema.
Upon hearing that they all went to us. Biglang nasa likod na ako. Sumingit sila lahat.
