"Oh my gosh, I'm already late!" I said in frustration. Maaga akong gumising pero ang tagal kong naghanap ng isusuot. Medyo hindi na kasya sa akin iyong mga pants ko na isinusuot for work.
"I'm really gaining weight," I whispered to myself. I think I need to start my work out again.
Lumabas na ako ng apartment. Kean was already there waiting for me.
"Good morning," he greeted as he kissed the side of my head.
"Good morning," I replied. We walked down the stairs papunta sa parking sa baba. He was holding my hand like I will run away.
"Kean," I said because I remembered that I need to ask him something.
"Yes?" pinagbuksan niya ako ng pinto ng sasakyan. We are already on our 13th month pero ginagawa niya pa rin iyon.
"Am I getting fat?" I asked then I pouted.
"Kailangan ba honest answer?" he asked.
"Of course," sumisikip na talaga iyong mga damit ko. Grabe kasi ang food cravings ko these days, hindi ko mapigilan!
"Yes baby, pero huwag kang mag- alala. Mahal kita kahit anong mangyari," then he started the engine. Hindi na lang ako nagsalita. Pupunta ako ng gym mamaya para mag- inquire roon.
Nasa taas pa ang office niya kaya nauna akong lumabas ng elevator. He gave me a kiss on my cheek bago ako lumabas. Those little things still give me butterflies.
"Are you okay? You look pale," Cassey said when I entered the office.
"Medyo nahihilo lang,"
Pumunta na kami sa loob ng conference room to discuss things. Lagpas na ng one hour ang discussion kaya nag- serve na ng merienda. It was orange juice and spaghetti. Noong binuksan ni Cassey iyong container ng spaghetti niya ay nakaramdam ako ng kakaiba sa tiyan ko.
I feel like umaakyat lahat ng kinain ko kaninang umaga.
"Okay ka lang ba?" Ivan asked when she noticed na medyo naduduwal ako.
I excused myself para makapunta ako sa comfort room. Pagkapasok ko ay isinuka ko kaagad sa sink iyong kinain ko kaninang umaga.
"Oh my gosh," I said to myself when I realized something. I opened the Period Tracker app on my phone.
Delayed ang menstruation ko.
This is the reason why I'm gaining weight and why I have food cravings. We weren't protected when we did that five weeks ago during our anniversary. I stared at my reflection in the mirror. Am I ready to be a mother?
I am young. I am only 23 years old. I and Kean decided for marriage when we got engaged but that doesn't mean that we will already have kids.
I felt my tears falling from my eyes. Pagkabalik ko sa office ay kinuha ko ang gamit ko at umalis. I texted my immediate supervisor na nagkaroon ng emergency.
Dumiretso ako sa hospital para magpa- check up.
"Congratulations, Ms. Rivera, you're 5 weeks pregnant." I didn't know what to feel. I should be happy but I have this feeling of worry.
Pumara ako ng taxi at nagpahatid sa bahay namin. I wish my mom is there.
When I arrived, only Manang and the other maids were around.
"May usapan ba kayo ng mommy mo na pupunta ka rito ngayon?" manang asked.
"Wala po, manang. Hintayin ko na lang po siya."
"Nako baka mamayang alas sais pa siya umuwi." manang smiled at me. "Ang laki na ng pinagbago niyong mag- ina, mas malapit na kayo ngayon,"
I just smiled at her because I have no energy to speak. Humiga ako sa couch. Kean texted me kung kumain na ba ako ng lunch but I didn't reply.
