Beauty From The Pain. (On-Going)

CHAPTER 49

AMARA'S POV

It's been a day or two when Claire got discharged from the hospital, she cannot stay there longer because it is really causing boredom for her. Oh yes, I went there, I am visiting her after work, of course, I don't let Samuel caught me. Mabuti na lang madalang lang bumisita si Miguel doon kasi mas busy siya sa'kin.

Argh! He's just annoying me. Lagi naman. Tss!

By the way, pagka-uwi ni Claire sa bahay nila, pinadalhan ko siya ng maraming stuff para sa pagbubuntis niya. Something like pregnancy pillows, so that she's comfortable when sleeping, and then, some maternity dresses even though she's still not in her first trimester. A bump box, I know her pregnancy is really rough, that box is full of small gifts, anyway, that are perfect for moms-to-be during this time. It is also full of practical gifts, too, like an anti-nausea band.

I also gave her a one set of Burt's Bees Mama Bee, then a pregnancy journal, I want her to enjoy the life of being a pregnant woman. Lastly, I gave her 'The New Rules of Pregnancy' book, written by two OB-GYNs. That book offers detailed advice on maximizing health during pregnancy, all in a calming and down to earth way. I am sure, she can use those very well.

'Hindi naman ako gaanong excited sa pag-bubuntis niya, 'no.'

Well, okay, fine. I am concerned, because I don't wanted her feel wasted. Sa susunod na lang ako bibili ng mga pre-packed kit para makapag-prepare siya sa pag-labor and deliver.

Yeah, right. I'm not excited.

"Oy, girl. Tulala ka d'yan."- I flinched when CJ slightly pinched my waist.

Nandito nga pala ako sa practice room namin. As usual, I'm going to perform once again.

"Nothing. I'm just thinking about my best friend."- I smiled at her.

I'm just so happy because we're both okay now. Gumaan 'yong pakiramdam ko, basta alam ko na-miss ko siya ng sobra. Binabalak ko nga ulit mamaya na bisitahin siya, eh.

Iniisip ko kung paano na 'yong pag-aaral niya. Dalawang linggo pa mahigit bago ang bakasyon nila.

"Sinong best friend ba 'yan? Baka naman boyfriend, ha?"- she teased. Sinimangutan ko siya dahil naki-sabay sa kantyawan 'yong mga back up ko ngayon.

Ang alam nila si Samuel 'yong tinutukoy ni CJ na boyfriend ko daw, pero malakas ang kutob ko na ibang tao ang iniisip ng choreo ko. Miguel is not even my boyfriend--- wait, what? Wala namang sinabing pangalan si CJ, ah?

"I don't have a boyfriend."- I told them, but, I know for sure they are not convinced.

Mabuti na lang hindi madaldal 'tong si CJ, wala siyang pinagsabihan tungkol doon sa nangyari sa advanced birthday party ni Sofia. Hays.

"Ano ka ba? Sa ganda mong 'yan? Hindi nga nakakapagtaka na magustuhan ka ni Mi---"

"CJ, let's start."- I shot her a glare. Tumawa lang siya kaya bumuntong hininga ako.

"Start na daw, girls. Nagba-blush na si Amara."

Mabilis akong yumuko dahil pakiramdam ko nga nag-iinit ang buong mukha ko. I closed my eyes deeply to calm myself, I don't want them to see my face. I am embarrassed.

'Si Miguel kasi!'

If he was not clingy, CJ wouldn't misunderstood everything. Aish!

Half day lang ang practice namin para sa araw na 'yon, mamayang hapon naman sabi ni Samuel susunduin niya daw ako. I don't know about that, he did not told me if we're having a meal, again. Ang sabi niya lang may pupuntahan daw kaming dalawa. Well, actually, my plan for later is to visit my mom in her dressing shop, my very good designer. Siguro, mamayang gabi ko na lang siya pupuntahan para sa bahay na ang deretso.
