Audina

I waited for him for almost midnight pero walang Riguel na dumating. So, I decide to sleep.

I'm staying at the same room, so many memories filled up the room. It feels like the familiar warmth.

I can smell roses' fragrance as I woke up, I stared at the ceiling for a minute or two before I fix myself.

"Umuwi po ba si Riguel kagabi?" I asked Tita Carly,

She pulled me and clang her arms on mine, "No hija, hindi pa siya umuuwi mula kagabi, pinapatay nga rin nya ang phone calls ko but don't mind him uuwi din yon mamaya, at makakapag-usap rin kayo" she said with a smile on her face

"You're so happy Tita, is there any event?" I asked

"Wala naman, sadyang masaya lang ako dahil nandito kayo, especially you.." she said

"Actually, nagulat nga ako ng bigla kayong bumisita sa akin. Your mom told me everything, I'm so sorry hija" she continued.

"I'm the one who should say that, Tita. Actually, it's my fault. Hindi ko sinabi kay Riguel yung tungkol kay Mom at umalis na lang ako bigla" I explained

"Don't blame yourself, walang may kasalanan ng lahat,okay?"she said

I nod as a reply.

"Hi Aud, Tita Carly" biglang sulpot ni Chad

"I thought you stayed at a hotel? Ang aga mo naman pumunta dito" I asked him

"I'm gonna ask you if you want to go to mall, magpapasama ako dahil may bibilhin ako" he said

"Why don't go with yourself, kaya mo naman" reklamo ko sa kanya

"Hala, sige na't pagbigyan mo na yang kaibigan mo, maganda rin yan sa buntis at nang makapaglakad-lakad ka" Mom interrupt.

"Fine, tapusin ko lang yung breakfast ko then I'll go with you" I said then I finished my breakfast and fixed myself a bit.

Kung ano-ano ang tinitignan ni Chad na shops. Akala ko ay mabilis lang kami dito pero halos libutin namin yung mall sa kakahanap ng kung ano mang hinahanap nya.

"Ano bang bibilhin natin? Sumasakit na ang paa ko at nagugutom na rin ako" reklamo ko

"Sinama na nga kita e, chill ka lang dyan masyado kang highblood at teka, kakakain mo lang ng waffles ah, gutom ka nanaman?" he laughed a bit.

"Kung wala lang tayo sa public place, sasapakin kita. Nakakarami ka na ng asar ah" bulong ko sa kanya

Tumawa naman siya kaya sinamaan ko siya ng tingin.

"Ma'm, Sir try these new brands of diaper especialized for new born babies" the sales lady,

I was trying to look for some bath soap when I heard a voice,

"Can you give me one of that brand" a woman asked

"How much?" then a familiar man asked,

That familiar voice, my favorite husky voice..

My heart beats fast, I can't go wrong, I know his voice.

Napalingon naman ako para makita kung sino ang may-ari ng boses na yon

"R-Riguel?" I almost lost my voice, kasama nya si Naomi.

I gasp as I laid my eyes on Naomi's tummy, she's pregnant too and I don't like how my mind make a suddenly conclusion.

"Audina, let's go" Chad held my hands but I can't move. My eyes are still looking at Riguel's face.

He's emotionless but I can see the anger through his eyes.

"Audina, let's go!" Chad almost yelled,

"O-ouch" my tummy hurts,

Not now baby, not today.

"What?" Chad asked

"My t-tummy is a-aching, Chad" I answered, my tears fell down not because of my tummy but because of Riguel's hidden emotion.

Dali-dali nya akong binuhat at pumunta sa hospital.

---

I slowly open my eyes.

White ceiling, curtains and walls great me, no one exept me is inside the room.

I tried to get up but suddenly Riguel came then he shut the door.

He's furious.

"Bakit ka pa bumalik?" He asked

"I-I'm sorry, I-I w-was--" I'm not yet ready for this,

"Do you know how much I fucking waste my time para lang hanapin ka at halughugin ang buong Europe?!"

Tears starts to fell from my eyes

"Ilang beses kitang tinawagan pero ni isang beses hindi ka sumagot! Halos mabaliw na ako kakaisip kung anong ginawa ko sayo para iwan mo ako! You know how damn much I love you, Audina. Tell me, where did I fucking go wrong?" He's still furious but I have to understand him.

"I'm sorry, okay? Let me explain everything. Let me make it clear"

"Go, Fine. Fucking tell me! I need your goddamn answers, Audina bago pa magbago ang isip ko"

I wipe my tears before I speak.

"Mom had a heart disease, the day the I left you was the day she was admitted at the hospital in Paris. Hindi ko alam ang gagawin ko non, I was so worried at her. Wala na sa isip ko ang tawagan ka non, si Mom na lang ang meron ako bukod sayo, and she was so important to me. I tried to call Alexa, my secretary to update me and I found out that you badly want me back--"

"So alam mo yon? Pero di ka man lang tumawag para sabihin sakin ang lahat? Gusto mo ba akong gawing tanga, ha? Audina?"

"No! That's not the point, hindi kita tinawagan dahil hindi pa tapos ang operation ni Mom, nung time na rin non, hindi pa rin siya gumising. I can't leave her alone. A week after that I found myself pregnant."

"Anak nyo ng gagong bestfriend mo?"

Biglang nagpintig ang tenga ko,
Ganon na ba talaga ang tingin mo sa akin?

"Pwede bang patapusin mo muna ako? Chadwick and I have no any relationship exept of being friends. Ganon na ba ang tingin mo sa akin?"

"Ano bang gusto mong isipin ko? Nabuntis ka ng isang dayuhan sa bansang pinaggalingan mo--"

I cut him off with a slap.

"Ikaw ang ama ng pinagbubuntis ko, Riguel. Wala akong naging iba mula ng iwan kita, I focused all of my attention to my Mom. Walang araw na hindi kita iniisip, wala akong minahal na iba, Riguel but then you're still blaming me. I still love you but I know na hindi na ako kaya hindi ko na rin pagpipilitan ang sarili ko. Magkakaanak na rin naman kayo ni Naomi, kung ayaw mo sa akin, hindi na kita guguluhin. Babalik na lang kami ng Paris ni Mom, I can take care of my baby. You have your answers, you can leave now--"

He cut me off with a kiss.
