Beauty And Baby

BAB 6

FuBu?

Ellaine

I got a call from the girls saying they wanted me to go to Tamara's house.
Weekend ngayon and I have no work kaya pumunta ako. Malapit lang ang bahay namin kaya agad akong nakarating.

As I step in Tamara's house, I saw her brother at the garden with a woman and actually this is different from the last time. As I was saying before parang naka-subscribe lang ng 1 month sa Netflix ang Kuya ni Tamara pero kinancel na lang dahil hindi pala kayang panindigan. Hanep din.

He nods at me and I just smile at him. Pagpasok ko pa lang sa bahay nila I can already feel the tensyon. I saw the girls na kumpleto na sila at ako na lang hinihintay.

Why did I sense different here? Nang makita nila ako ay lahat sila tumayo at tinignan ako. I stop halfway and look at them too.

"Why... are you all staring at me?" nakataas ang lahat ng kilay nila sa akin except of Tamara. I look at her questioning pero nag peace sign siya sa akin.

"Are you crazy, Ellaine Franciso?" tanong sa akin ni Gellar. She seems angry at me.

"A-Ah, pwede pa-upo-in niyo muna siya?" Tamara said. Naupo naman silang lahat at nagtataka man ay lumapit ako.

I walk to Tamara. "What happened?" she just smiled at me. Pinaupo nila ako sa isang pang-isahan na upuan while they are in a long sofa.

Why do I feel like I am being interrogated?

"Anong nangyayari dito?"

"You didn't tell us you want to get pregnant and be a single mother." mataray na sabi sa akin ni Laurie.

Tumingin ako agad kay Tamara. She make a peace sign again. Kaya pala ganyan ng ganyan dahil may kasalanan siya sa akin!

"H-Hindi naman big deal iyon." I tried to smile at them but they all look angry, especially Gellar, siya talaga ang pinakamaldita sa amin e.

"Not a big deal? Seriously? Ellaine?" si Jera naman ngayon ang galit.

"Wala ka bang balak na sabihin ito sa amin?" tanong ni Laurie.

"Meron naman, pero naghahanap lang ng tiyempo."

"Your planning to be a single mother, El? Really?" Jera asked. Nakasimangot na ako sa kanila.

"Yes, I want to be a mom you know. Kaya ko naman buhayin ang anak ko ng mag-isa."

"Sa lahat ng barkada El, you should be the one to know how hard to be a single mother, because 3 of your friends are. Kayang-kaya mo naman alam namin but you should think of your child. Napakasakit kapag dumating na sa point na magtatanong na ang anak mo kung nasaan ba ang tatay niya. It hurts when she/he gets bullied for not having a father. Alam na alam namin iyon, El because we already experienced it." umiyak na si Jera. I look at them with a heavy heart.

Kaya ko naman talaga hindi sinabi sa kanila dahil alam kong hindi sila papayag sa desisyon ko. I understand them because they care for me.

"Kaya ko ito girls. Mamahalin ko naman ang anak ko ng buong-buo para hindi na siya magkulang sa pagmamahal e. I will give her/him the whole world para lang hindi na siya maghanap pa ng tatay." I started crying also when I saw them crying.

"Pinapagalitan mo kami everytime we will make a wrong decision, El. You are always there to give us advices. Pero ngayon ikaw naman ang mag de-desisyon ng mali." Gellar said while crying. Para na kaming tanga dito.

"Gusto mo ba talagang gawin ang plano mo?" Laurie asked me.

I look at them and nodded. "I am sure girls. You know, lumaki ako ng meroong tatay pero para namang wala. Still, maayos naman akong lumaki. Kakayanin ko, kakayin ko ito." we decided to group hug while we are all crying. Para na talaga kaming tanga.
