Wounded Memories (La Union Series #1)

30

It has been two weeks since we discovered that I'm one week pregnant. Theron didn't let me think when he brought me to an ob-gyne.

We were with our moms and Ayna that day. They got too excited that they already have things for our baby. I didn't complain because the gifts they bought was pretty cool.

"H'wag ka ngang magbuhat niyan! Ang kulit ni buntis!"

Inagaw ni Ayna yung hawak kong tray na may lamang tatlong baso ng juice. She's visiting me with Kevin. Lysa, Gail and Krissa visited me yesterday.

"Ang OA mo! Ang gaan gaan niyan, tsaka isang linggo palang akong buntis! My doctor already told me that I can still do the things I usually do only with precaution, but that doesn't mean I can't carry that!" palatak ko.

She flipped her hair before heading to our living room with the tray she snatched from me. Wala akong nagawa kundi ang sundan nalang siya.

"Bakit busangot yan?" inginuso ako ni Kevin. Inirapan ko siya bago maingat na sumalampak sa sofa.

"Nagbubuhat e, bawal na.." Ayna simply said.

"And I told her she's overreacting!" singhal ko. Pakiramdam ko tataas ang BP ko sa babaeng ito!

"Hey, don't shout! You might hurt the baby.." paalala niya pa na mas lalong nagpainis saakin.

"Stop it, Niff just listen to the grandma" he chuckled.

I can't help but to laugh with him. Ayna remained stoic, unmoving and cold. Simula nung makabalik siya sa Manila naging ganito na siya katigas. I mean she's hard before but not this hard.

"Basted ka ulit sa liniligawan mo no? Kaya ako na naman trip mo ngayon!" she rolled her eyes before sipping on her juice.

"Hindi ako nanliligaw, sila pumipila para maligawan ako.." nagpogi sign pa saamin si Kevin.

"Kapalmuks!"

"Oh bakit? Ang bitter mo naman ata ngayon.. ano bang meron sa Manila at parang palagi kang highblood diyan?" usisa ni Kevin.

Akala ko hindi siya magsasalita pero nagulat nalang ako nung galit na galit siya habang nagkuwe kuwento.

Nagbalik na pala yung ex boyfriend niyang sundalo. The worst part here is that, they will be working with each other. Hindi niya dinetalye pero base sa narinig ko ay baka araw araw silang magtagpo.

I remember her crying over this army guy. She didn't tell us what happened and we respected her decision. Still, I'm curious though. I wanted to know if only she would allow me to ask her.

"Madami kayong reporter diba? Bakit kasi ikaw pa yung kumuha ng trabahong yan?" tanong ko.

Huminga siya ng malalim, "The usual.. that old hag did it again.. I still can't get out of that arrangement. Masyado pang magulo"

Her father was always been that mad and greedy. Ayna is his daughter, he should atleast give her the right amount of respect and all that.

"Is she back?" maingat na tanong ni Kevin.

"Yeah," she lazily said. She massaged the bridge of her nose. "I'm back at being the obedient child.. I'm so tired"

"Bakit daw siya bumalik?" tanong ko.

Umiling siya, "I don't know.. I left the house before she could even arrive. I don't want to see her face"

"You can't stop that.. sa ayaw at sa gusto mo magkikita kayo. After all, you have the same house" anang Kevin. I know right!
