Real Man never leaves

Real Man Never Leave

"I have to do this" I whispered.

I plan to prank him. He's doing his project and it seems it's really hard dahil nakaposisyon ang kaliwang kamay niya sa kaniyang sintido. Nag-iisip ng malalim.

Everything is set. I put the pregnancy test under his papers. Ilang minuto mula ngayon, he will saw it and I'm sure he will leave me and run. Boys are always boys.

I acted like I'm busy with my stuff. Few minutes have passed and nothing happened.

"He will saw it" I whispered again.

"Paul" I called him but he didn't give me even a little of glance.

"Paul" tinawag ko ulit siya pero mas malakas kaysa sa nauna.

And unexpectedly, he ignored me again. Shit.

"May problema kaba Paul? Kanina pa kita tinatawag 'di mo man lang ako pinapansin" This time I used my acting skill to give his full attention to me.

"Nothing Babe" he just said and looked at me for a while pero ibinalik niya kaagad ang atensyon niya sa ginagawa niya.

I'm started to get pissed. Fvckit.

Pinigilan ko ang sarili kong mainis. Bakit ba ako naiinis? E ako nga itong may planong itest o subukan siya pero ako itong hindi makaantay ng mangyayari.

A few hours have passed.

I almost give up but when I looked at him and saw that he's now holding the pregnancy test that I put on his table. A little chance in me lived again.

He walked towards me and I can sense the intense between us.

Mas pinili ko nalang ang ngumiti wara mawala ang kahit na katiting na takot at kaba na nararamdaman ko ngayon. Wala akong ibang ginawa kung hindi ay ngumiti para mas inisin pa siya lalo.

"Fuck you ka. Don't touch me" pag-iinarte ko ng bahagya niya akong hahawakan.

"What is this Babe?" Malumanay na tanong niya.

"Can't you see? Or you want me to stretch you're fvcking eyes to recognize what is it"

"That's not what I meant, I mean bakit may pregnancy test do'n sa table na Ikaw ang unang gumamit and one more thing why is that,... there's a two lines in here?" Mahinahon niyang saad ulit at inilapit saakin ang PT para makita 'yung dalawang line.

"Wala kang pakialam. Hype ka" I used again my acting skills.

He flicked my mouth off three times. Shit. Bakit niya ako pinitik?

"Can you stop saying bad words? Or you want me to kiss you?" He said and winked.

Wag kang marupok self. Kaya mo 'to.

"Eww. Never! I will never kiss you again. Sa lahat nang naging boyfriend ko ikaw lang ang pinandidirihan ko. Yucks"

Best actress goes to.... Myles Mendaza.

"Say all what you want to say. I don't care!" Bakit ba kasi hindi siya nagagalit?

"Nakakaawa ka naman siguradong iiwan ka ng lahat nang babae dahil hindi ka marunong"

"Haha don't underestimate me Babe. Baka gusto mong buntisin kita ngayon din" shit. Wag kang bibigay self.

"Can't you see buntis na ako. Akin yan na PT, I am 3 months pregnant"

Umiba ang aura niya, kanina napakaaliwalas ng mukha niya pero  naaaninag ko ngayon ang kaunting pagiging diskomportable niya.

Sige lang Paul.

"Kanino?" Masaya niyang saad.

What? Masaya pa siya dahil buntis ako at hindi siya ang ama? Unbelievable.

"You can't fool me Paul. I know all men's techniques" bulong ko sa sarili ko.

"Sa matalik mo lang naman na kaibigan" sinigurado kong maiinis siya dahil nagpakawala ako ng kakaibang ngiti na minsan niya lang makita.

"Still, pananagutan kita. I don't care kung kahit kanino yan. I love you and I don't care kung nakipagtalik ka sa iba kahit tayo pa"

What—the—fcvk.. hindi talaga siya nawawalan nang mga bagay na masusurpresa ako sa huli. I couldn't believe this. How come?

"Bakit?" Nagtatakang tanong ko pa.

"Hindi ka ba mahihiya na may marinig ka sa ibang tao na hindi mo naman totoong anak ang dinadala ko? Kaya mo ba 'yun?"

"Of course because I love you. Tanggap ko ang lahat ng nasayo" He said in his husky voice. Shit. I— surrender.

"Haha I can't believe you. Walang sinong lalaki ang mag-aako ng hindi niya anak" dagdag ko pa.

"Maybe mayro'ng mga ganun but believe me meron ding mga lalaking aakuin kahit hindi niya pa ito tunay na anak" shit.

"Okay- okay. Suko na ako! It was just a prank. Hindi ako buntis at mas lalong hindi ako nakipagtalik sa kaibigan mo" pagsusuko ko.

"Hahaha I knew it"

See? Bakit ba kasi ako nakipagsubukan sa isang attorney at nag-aaral ng medisina?

I hug him tightly.

"Sorry kung namura kita at napagsalitaan ng kung anu-ano... Pero bakit mo ko pinitik? Bakit hindi mo nalang ako minura pabalik?"

"You're weird. I won't do that. Nirerespeto kita at kung gagawin ko man iyon it would be disrespectful. Mas mahalaga sa akin ang feelings mo despite of my anger" he pecked my lips multiple times.

How sweet he is! I know he's just trying to ease my pain from what he did to my mouth- flicked.

"Isa pa, bakit di ka mahihiya kung magkakaro'n man ako ng anak sa ibang lalaki? Kasi kung ako ang tatanungin mahihiya ako and I will run and leave you"

"Magkaiba tayo! At bakit naman ako mahihiya na panagutan at maging ama sa hindi ko totoong anak? Mas higit na nakakahiya yung totoong ama na hindi marunong magpaka-ama sa anak nila. That was so stupid. I will never leave you alone and....

That's how real man should act and REAL MAN NEVER RUN" he said..

I grab him off and kiss him like there's no tomorrow.

"I love you" I mouthed.
