Audina

"She still needs to rest.. I'll be back"

I opened my eyes, the last thing that I remember was...

"Riguel.." I murmured

"Aud, gising ka na" Chad said

Sinubukan kong tumayo,

"Nasaan si Riguel?" takang tanong ko kay Chad,

I know, nakita ko si Riguel.

"May nakakita sayo na nahimatay sa labas ng shop pero hindi si Riguel, he said that he's Raphiel saka umalis na buti na lang at magkatabi lang kayo ni Tita ng room number" paliwanag ni Chad

"Kamusta na si Mom?" I asked

"Gising na siya, hinahanap ka nga niya kaso nahimatay ka nga kaya--"

Di ko na siya pinatapos pumunta na agad ako sa katabing room number.

"Mom?"

"Audina? Ikaw na ba yan?"

"Mom, ok na ba talaga? Ilang araw kang walang malay simula ng operahan ka."

"Dapat di ka na nag-abala, nasa bakasyon ka pa e"

"Mom naman e, alam mo bang halos lumipad ng pagkabilis para lang makita ka?"

"Maayos na naman ako.."

"You'll having your second operation few days from now, hindi pa ako makakauwi hangga't hindi ka pa totally okay"

"O cia, sige na mas makulit ka pa sa doctor e. Siya nga pala kamusta naman si Tita Carly mo?"

"She's great and ahm..."

Go on, tell her.

"I'm--"

"Excuse me, are you a patient from the next room?" Doctor asked,

"Y-yes, I am" I answered

"I have something to tell you" Doctor said

"Go on Doctor, I'm having our bonding" Mom laughed,

"Your test shows that you're three weeks pregnant, Congratulations. That's all, thank you" Doctor explained.

Napahinto ako,

"So, you're pregnant?" Mom asked

I'm still absorbing the information.

God, I'm pregnant

"Tell me, sino ang ama nyan?" She's pointing my tummy,

I bite my lower lip, "Are you mad?" I asked,

"You silly! I'm not actually I'm excited to have a grandchild, so tell me, who's the father, hmm?" She smiled at me,

"It's R-Riguel, Tita--"

"Your Tita Carly's son?" Her eyes are twingkling,

"Yes"

"Bakit mo lang ngayon sinabi? Ano ka ba naman, alam mo namang hindi ako magagalit, 'di ba?"

"I know, nag-aalala lang naman ako sayo, you have a heart disease Mom, baka bigla kang atakihin"

"So, kailan pa kayo magkarelasyon, hmm? Tell me your love story"

"Mom, feeling teenager ka"

"Sus 'to naman oh"

I tell her everything, nung una akala ko magagalit siya sa akin but she's pretty much excited.

Ang problema ko na lang ay kung paano ko sasabihin kay Riguel. He's still mad, hindi ko alam kung paano sasabihin at kung ano ang gagawin.

Kailangan ko pang asikasuhin yung second operation ni Mom. As much as I want to tell him everything I still can't. This is not the right time.

6 months later

Everything goes smoothly,

"Audina, bilisan mo na at magpapacheck ka pa" Mom said

Mom finally made it, she survived from her heart disease. Medyo malaki na rin ang tyan ko. Maraming do's and don'ts, alagang-alaga ako ni Mom at ni Chadwick.

They never failed to make me smile, minsan pa nga kapag nabobored ako ay si Chadwick ang napagdidiskitahan ko.

"Chad, bili mo ako ng vanilla ice cream. Nagugutom yung baby ko" I pouted

"Puro ka ice cream, kagabi halos dalawang gallon ng ice cream yung ubusin mo tapos nagpabili ka ng dalawang vanilla flavored milktea. Mauubos savings ko sayo" reklamo ni Chad habang nag-dridrive

"Sige na! Nagugutom na ako" reklamo ko

"See? Inamin mo rin" he said

Niliko niya yong sasakyan sa isang ice cream shop at bumili ng ice cream

I can't get enough with vanilla, sabi ni Mom baka daw don ako naglilihi.

"Uuwi na tayo" sabi ni Chad

"Uhm.." I'm not yet done with my ice cream

"In Philippines"

Napahinto ako at nabitawanang ice cream

Nilingon ko siya, "A-are you joking?"

"No, your Mom told me that we're going to Philippines this week. Inasikaso ko na lahat ng documents natin. Tickets na lang ang kulang" he explained

"You know that I'm not yet ready" I look down and rubbed ny tummy

"You're ready, Aud. Natatakot ka lang sa magiging reaksyon ni Riguel. Alam mo naman siguro na dapat malaman nya rin yung tungkol sa baby nyo"

---

"Nakauwi na kayo, anong sabi ng doctor? How's the baby?" She smiled at me and she's still wearing her apron

"The baby's okay" I smiled back.

"Let's go, nagluto ako"

"Mom"

"Hmm?"

"Chad said that we're going to Philippines this week, are you sure about this?"

"Of course, gusto kong makita ang Tita Carly mo"

"Mom, If you want to visit her--"

"Ayaw mo bang malaman ni Riguel ang tungkol sa apo ko?"

"But I don't know how will they react. I'm afraid and nervous, Mom."

"Just tell him, and everything will be fine. Trust me, you don't have to be scared."

Then she hugged me.

Everything will be fine..
