The heartaches you caused

Chapter 30

CJ was holding my pregnancy test.

Nakalimutan ko nga pala iyon itago, ang tanga ko talaga fuck.

"Ano to?" he asked, "Buntis ka?"

I couldn't answer him. I fell on my knees crying, ang masaklap pa naluhudan ko yung basag na baso which made my knees bleed. Fuck!

CJ rushed towards me at tinulungan akong umupo sa kama. He then looked for a first aid kit to treat my wounds.

"Buntis ka?" he asked again after putting a sterilized gauze pad sa sugat ko.

I nodded.

"Kelan pa? Tsaka bat di mo sinabi?"

"I'm 6 weeks pregnant na" ani ko.

"Bat di mo sinabi?" he asked again.

"I was scrared" nanghihina kog bigkas.

"Scared of what?"

"Na baka ayaw mo sa bata, na baka iwan mo nanaman ako, hindi pa nga tayo tapos mabubuntis ako nang ganito" ani ko.

He held my hand.

"What makes you think na iiwan kita ulit?"

I shrugged.

"Hindi na kita iiwan ulit okay?" he comforted me, "Hindi ko kayo iiwan ng baby"

He reached for his pocket and gave me a small red velvet box.

"Ano to?" i asked.

"Open it"

I opened the box and it revealed a diamond ring, ang ganda! Is he proposing right now? Malamang jacey may  singsing nga diba? Tanga lang?

"Ayaw na kitang maging jowa" seryosong sabi niya.

"Huh? Eh bakit mo ako binigyan nito?" naguguluhang tanong ko.

"Let's get married?"aniya.

Nag mala waterfall na ang mga mata ko sa kakaiyak. Ang saya saya ko, finally after years, he's going to be mine na. The thought of having a family with him made me cry even more.

I gave him a nod.

"Yes!" he said as he hugged me.

I told my family about the proposal and they were happy for me and CJ. Sunod ko namang sinabihan ay sina ate jam.

[Talaga? Maid of honor rin ba ako?] ani ni ate jam nang mag video call kami.

[Alam niyo ang unfair niyong dalawa] sabat ni fia.

"Di ba pwedeng dalawa nalang ang maid of honor?" ani ko.

[Bahala na nga kayo!] ani ni fia bago i end ang call.

"Ikaw kasi eh!" paninisi ko kay ate jam.

"Anong ako?!" aniya, "Huy hindi ka pa ba mag  ma-maternity leave, delikado yan sa bata ah"

"I need to go bye!"

Sinabihan ako ni CJ na dun na raw kami muna manirahan ng pangsamantala sa kanyang condo, pero mas pinili kong sa bahay manatili, kaya wala siyang choice kundi saamin matulog. My family was okkay with it naman.
