"Are you happy right now?"
Saglit kong tinatan yung canelé na kanina ko pa kinakain saka ko tinignan si Yssa na ngayon ay para bang nag aalala. I was just thinking of what to do today when she suddenly arrived with two luggages and asked me to hang out. Girlks talk daw basta!
I know she's got her own problems yo worry about pero kapakanan ko pa din talaga ang inuna nya.
"Of course! I'm more than happy." Ngumiti ako saka ko iniabot sa kanya yung isang canelé kasi kanina pa akong kain ng kain samantalang sya hindi pa ginagalaw yung pagkain nya. I know Yssa, she might appear unapproachable and unfriendly because of her resting bitch face and her straight forward personality but honestly, once you get to know her, she'd be the most crazy and chaotic lady you'd ever met and we may not be related by blood, but I am so lucky to have a sister/ best friend like her.
"Nga pala, you've been here for almost a week, hindi ka ba hinahanap sa inyo?" I couldn't help but to worry. I know Yssa is not in good terms with her stepfather. "Hindi naman kayo nag away ng stepdad mo diba?"
"Promise me you won't laugh." Aniya habang nakataas yung isa nyang kilay.
"I'll try." Biro ko saka ko kinain yung natitirang canelé.
"From today onwards, I'll be leaving her with you so starting today, I'm your roommate." Pagmamalaki nya kaya naman halos mabilaukan ako sa kinakain ko dahil sa gulat.
"You're what?!" Nanlaki ang mga mata ko dahil sa gulat. I don't care even if that last canelé got wasted.
"I did it for you so be grateful." Giit nya saka nya iniabot sakin ang yung box ng tissue na sya namang ginamit ko para punasan yung bibig ko.
"And they let you live here?!" I tried not to scream loud.
"Yup! I got permission from my parents." Pagmamalaki nya pa habang nakangisi.
"You're really crazy." Napabuntong hininga na lamang ako.
"You're crazier." Saad nya saka sya sumandal sa headboard ng kama. "But you guys used protection right?" Pabulong nya pang saad kaya naman napakunot yung noo ko.
"P-protection? for what?" Naguguluhan kong tanong. I got more confused when Yssa looked at me with that shocked look on her face.
"You mean Rain didn't wear ano nung nag ano kayo?" Pabulong nyang sambit kaya naman napangiwi ako.
"Pwede bang diretsuhin mo na lang yung gusto mong sabihin. Na-aano na ako sa kakasabi mo ng ano eh." Giit ko pero laking gulat ko ng bigla syang tumakbo palabas ng kuwarto ko. Pupunta daw sya sa pinakamalapit na drugstore para bumi ng ano. Kingina ano ba kasi yung ano?

"Ano to?" Nagtataka kong tanong habang kinikilatis itong rectangular thingy na parang thermometer na ewan na iniabot sa'kin ni Yssa kanina pagkabalik nya galing drugstore.
"Gaga,pregnancy test kit yan. I saw my sister using that once." Saad nya saka nya ako itinulak papasok sa banyo kaya naman mas lalo akong naguluhan. "Now go and pee on it! Hurry up!" Giit nya pa kaya naman nagulat ako.
"Pregnancy test kit?! Hoy Yssa! lechugas ka hindi ako buntis!" Pabulong kong sigaw kasi baka marinig pa ako ni Ate Crimson.
Yssa glared at me so I had no choice but to do what she says.
Completely confused and grossed out, I went out of the bathroom holding the pregnancy test kit on my hand.
"So? Ano? Buntis ba ako?" Kunot noo kong tanong habang iniaabot sa kanya yung pregnancy test pero ayaw nya itong tanggapin.
