Chapter 24

"Are you sure? Maiiwan muna kita rito." Umayos ako ng tayo at tumango kay Shimi. She said someone asked her to dance.

There I saw Lucas.

Wearing a crisp black button-down and dark trousers, I can't help but to feel amazed by it. May mga nakita itong kakilala kaya naman nag usap muna ang mga ito.

It's our 2nd day here now. Matapos iyon mangyari, I know that sariwa pa iyon. There's no way na malilimutan agad iyon ni Shimi. But then I'm still thankful on how she managed to understand our relationship.

Nandito kami ngayon sa Isang hookah bar. Isang beach bar. Buong gabi ay bagsak kami dahil sa biyahe at sinulit na namin ang tulog upang kinabukasan ay may sapat na enerhiya kami. I took a deep breathe. Inalog alog ko ang hawak na wine. Maraming tao ngunit nandito ako sa seaside. Tinitignan ang dagat.

I sighed again, tanging musika, ingay nang tao at ang pag hampas ng alon lamang ang naririnig ko.

Pansamantala kong inilapag ang wine sa isang table. Unexpectedly I looked at the approaching woman, I can't help but to looked at the small bump on her stomach. She put down a glass of water in the same table as mine.

"Is it okay?"aniya. I nodded. She looked elegant in her blue jumpsuit.

"Pregnant?" I asked her. She nodded.

"12 weeks." masaya n'yang sagot. Tumango ako. But I wonder bakit nandito ang isang buntis na katulad n'ya?

"Are you from Philippines?" She asked. Nagulat akong tumango. Wow.

"I am too. Napansin kasi kita kanina kasama ang kaibigan mo. I heard her talked tagalog." She said in a funny tone. Oh I didn't know that.

After that she took something from her bag, a medicine. The glass of water she had previously placed on the table, she immediately drank it along with the medicine she took from her bag.

"What is that?" Even though that sounded weird, tumingin muna siya sa akin bago sumagot.

"My meds. To prevent me from bleeding. Lately I became stressed because of my pregnancy. Funny, cuz I'm 12 weeks pregnant, pero mahina ang kapit ng bata." Agad akong nagulat. Then why would she come here? I worryingly looked at her.

"Uh.."

"I know. Don't worry. Hindi naman ako Iinom. Makakasama iyon sa baby, a friend of mine is currently here, sumama lang ako." Napangiti ako. Tiyak na magiging mabuting ina ito. Pero hindi maiwasang isipin na dapat nagpahinga na lamang ang buntis na katulad nya.

"But this baby's father is not around.." She awkwardly said. I gritted my teeth. I don't know what to answer. Nakita ko ang luhang tumakas sa kanyang mata.

"I-im sorry.. I must be emotional. Y-you..know..pregnant women is very emotional.."She immediately said. She looked stress after that. A thought of me being pregnant came into my mind. Magiging emosyonal din ba ako?

"I'm sorry." Ang tanging naisabi ko. I don't know what to say, but all I know is, that it's very hard and a lot of pain to deal with. I can't imagine the pain of being pregnant at the same time, the father's baby..leaving you..

O kahit ano pa man yan, It's still wrong.

Ngumiti siya."No need. Pasensya ka na. I must be frustrated these days. Wala kasi akong mapagsabihan.."aniya. Pinunasan na ng tuluyan ang mga luhang umaagos.

"Hindi ko alam kung may karapatan akong magtanong pero..where is the baby's daddy?" I asked. But immediately regretted it. Nakita kong mas lalong bumuhos ang mga luha niya.
