DISGUISE US

KABANATA 17

"When was the last time you got your period?" He suddenly asked.

"T-three months ago before we did that thing." I honestly uttered and I looked away.

"We need to go to your doctor now." He seriously said.

"Okay but you need to stay here to look after the  kids while I finishing my papers so we can go to my doctor after we send off the kids to the orphanage. Is it okay with you?"

He casually nodded before I excused myself.

"Miss ito na po iyong pinapabili niyo." ani Stephanie.

"Pakilapag na lang dyan. Salamat." seryosong sambit ko habang nagbabasa ng reports.

"Padating na din po si Dra. Coleman."

"Just let her in here as she arrived later."

She excused herself.

I stopped reading my papers and I go on the restroom. I spend my half hour there. As I saw the four pregnancy test kit and they all positive. I felt awful.

Few minutes later, I composed myself as Dra. Coleman arrived to my office. I gave her all the four pregnancy test that I took earlier. She recommended to we just come to her clinic so she check me.

I told Step to tell Valmor that I just out for an urgent meeting for the investor.

We rushed into Dra. Coleman's clinic. In hurry, she check my pee and my womb as I wait for the results.

"Congrats, Miss Abel. You are two months pregnant."

What I've done to myself?

"I'm pregnant." I whispered. "Doctora, can I ask for a favor?"

"What is it?"

"I will be back here later with someone, but can you fake my pregnancy test results?"

"It is against to my job, Miss Abel."

"I don't want to ruin someone's life with my unborn baby."

"Okay then. I will do my best, Miss Abel."

I excused myself after I thanked her as I driving back to the hotel. I need to keep this to Valmor. I don't want to ruin his life.

I saw Valmor and the two kids is already in sitting in my office couch.

"Shall we go?" I happily asked.

We go to the basement, Valmor told me that we were using his car to travel. The orphanage is happy to see the two missing kids as they thanked Valmor for taking care of them.

I patiently sitting in the passenger after I tell him where is my hospital clinic. I just wondering how would I hide my unborn baby to him.

"Good day, Dra. Coleman!" I happily greet her as if I'm not derived here earlier.

"Oh, Miss Abel! You're with guy now. Is he your boyfriend or something?" She joked.

I just laughed, "Dra. Coleman meet Valmor Smith, a friend of mine. He's just accompany me here."

"Oh my bad! By the way what can I do for you, Miss Abel?" She asked.

"I just suddenly vomited earlier in the office and then I remembered that my last period was just three months ago. I was thinking if I am pregnant or something. So I asked him to accompany me here for some check up, just to make sure if there is unknown baby is my womb." maarte kong pahayag.

Katulad kanina ay inulit ko ulit ang pinagawa sa akin ni Dra. Coleman habang tinatanong-tanong niya ako sa mga ginawa noong nakaraang tatlong buwan.

"In the past three months, do have you a boyfriend or flings?" She casually asked.

I just look at Valmor before answering her, "Fling."

"Does you and your fling done it?"

"Oh the three letters, yes, we done it after my last period. But we just only do it once."

"Did you used some protection like condom?"

"No." I shyly answered.

Some nurse knocked the door and gave the results of my test.

"Are you aware that you are monthly period is irregular?"

"No."

"Normal for irregular to experience a delayed menstruation."

"Is she pregnant?" Valmor interrupt.

"No, Mr. Smith. She was vomited earlier because she over fatigue and acidic. It seem that she's not eating her meals on time, that's why the acid from her stomach goes up that makes her vomited." Dra. Coleman explain.

She meaningfully look at me and smile, "Don't worry, Miss Abel. You're not pregnant but you need to rest and eat your meal on time."

She gave me the fake results, we bid our good-byes after tell my apology for the short notices and thanked her.

As we walked out the hospital building, there is bunch of medias waiting for someone in the parking lot until they noticed me and shouted my name.

"MISS CHANDRIA!!!"

Valmor was just pulled me away and walks toward his car as the media taking us a lot photos. He fiercely driving away.

"Are you okay?" He asked.

"I-I'm fine."

"Good. Where should I send you off?"

"To parent's house." I said as I texted Mama Ruth.

I saw in my peripheral vision that he nodded to me.

"Thanks for the ride." I said as I ready to get out but he stopped me.

"I am just a fling to you back then?" He painfully asked.

"No."

"Do you really love me or you just playing along?"

"I l-love you." I honestly answered and get off to his car.

I watched him driving away from me.

You can do it Memory Chandria!

"Ma," I sadly called.

She just hugged me so tight.

"I'm sorry." I whispered and started sobbing on her shoulder.

"Shhh" She tapping my shoulder, "I am here, darling. Just let it out and we will talk about it later."

We were just hugging each other in my room while Mama Ruth stayed besides me.

"Mama, would you get mad at me if I tell you that I'm having a baby right now?" I calmly asked.

"No. I will be glad and accept and love my future apo from you."

"I'm two months pregnant, Ma." And I look down, "I'm sorry to disappoint you."

She held my hands and makes me look at her, "No, honey. Thank you for letting me know it."

That's made me cry and hugged her more as I thanked her.

"But, may I know who is the father of my apo?"

"It's him. Valmor."

Accept or Decline?
