Engineer's Affair (Completed)

Kabanata 13

Gabbi.

New morning. I woke up by the sound of the children downstairs. Bumangon agad ako and i rub my eyes.

I feel sick lately. Ang init ko.

I immediately went downstairs after kong maligo at magbihis, i wore a maroon pencil cut skirt, white spaghetti strap and a maroon coat, i'm going to work today.

"Tita!" Sigaw sa mga bata

Si Dad, at ang mga kuya ko ay dito ko na pinatuloy. Ang lungkot kayang mag isa lang ako dito sa bahay kasama ang mga kasambahay.

"Oy Kirk, Dex, nandito pala kayo" I said as i sat down at nakita ko si Kirk at Dex na naka upo sa sofa at pinapanood ang news.

"Yes, i'm going to fetch you for work." Sagot ni Dex and then he stared at me

"Nakita mo na ba?" Tanong ni Kirk

Napatigil ako. I know what he's talking about.

"Kirk. Its been a month. Move on ka din pag may time." I joked.

He stared at me seriously parang pinag aaralan ako, tumikhim nalang ako.

Actually i saw it. The front page of the magazine. It is Chasimir, with his... Wife. Its said there na kinasal sila last week, sa California. Pero sa abogado lang, at walang imbitado. Its just a direct wedding, Chasimir Piore Uzón and Olive Adriana Chao Uzon, it is also said that Olive and Chas married immediately because Olive is 8 months pregnant, see? May kabit si Chas habang buntis ang asawa niya, how cruel he is? Ano nalang kaya kung nalaman ni Olive yun, pano ang baby nila?

"Kumain ka na Gab." Sabi ni ate Chea na bit bit ng kanyang baby i smiled at tumango.

Bumaba na si Kuya Gabriel at sumali samin dito he kissed my forehead and he was about to sit when he stopped. For a while he placed the back of his hand on my forehead.

"Nilalagnat ka." Commento ni Kuya Gab.

Gabriel is a Doctor. That's how they met Ate Chea, she's also a Doctor also.

"Magpapacheck-up ka mamaya okay." Sabi ni kuya puno ng awtoridad "Kirk, Dex. Samahan nyo si Gabbi mamaya sa hospital. Magpapacheck up siya"

"Opo, kuya" sagot ni Kirk na nasa hapag kainan na rin

"Sa hospital muna or sa office mo?" Tanong ni Dex nang nasa daan na kami. Kirk just tailing us behind. Kami lang dalawa ni Dex ang nasa kotse

"Um.." pag iisip ko habang hinihilot ang sentido "Hospital muna." Sagot ko, tumango naman siya at pumunta na kami sa Hospital.

Pumasok na ko sa Hospital at pumunta sa office ni Cherry. Sa kanyang pamilya kasi itong Hospital na 'to.

"Hey, what's up?" Tanong niya nang nakapasok ako pumasok na rin at umupo sa pang isahang sofa,

Kirk is with his earphones while playing mobile legends. And Dex is just sitting there comfortably at pinikit ang mga mata

Umuwi sila Cherry kaagad ng manila noong umuwi na rin ako last month.

"Check up." Tipid kong sagot at umupo sa sofa na nandun at hinihilot ang sentido.

Tumango siya and started to check on me.

"Kilala mo ang asawa--"

"Don't start, Cherry. Okay?" Inis kong sabi "and yes, kilala ko, i'm sure alam mo yung past namin." She just chuckled

"I have a visitor today." Pagkasabi niya nun tumunog ang pintuan at napatingala kami lahat don.

My insides were shaking.
