Perfectly Mismatched

CHAPTER 26: DANIELLA

I woke up beside him and my happiness is overwhelming at wala na akong pakialam kung madaling araw pa. Ilang araw kong siyang tiniis pero hindi ko pala kaya and this precious being inside me adds to my weakness. Im not just a fiancee now who love this guy but im also a mother and upon realizing that, I know my heart will never beat the same way, it will no longer beat for me but for my little family. Who would have thought that months from now Ill vow to be his wife? Hindi ko namamalayang may luhang dumadaloy na sa mga mata ko and I cant help myself from touching his face and lean my head on his chest, I sob as I feel him grasp my shoulder and kissed my hair. Oh. I could stay like this all day.

'Umiiyak ka ba?' He tilt his head on the other side to tap my lampshade and light showered on my room, bahagya siyang umupo at niyakap niya ako ng mahigpit 'babe? What is it?' He gently comb my hair with his hand and im enjoying it.

'I dont know, maybe its my pregnancy that makes me so emotional.' I said while I wrapped my arm around him.

'Go back to sleep, ill be right here' he instructed and I close my eyes and drift away.

7:20am, I woke up to the ray of sunlight that hits my face, wala na siya sa tabi ko amd I immediately went out of my room, not seeing him gives me discomforts!

'Si Max ang hinahanap mo? Maagang umalis anak, hindi ka na daw nya ginising dahil ayaw niyang maputol ang tulog mo' my dad said while reading newspaper.

'Maaga ho siyang umalis?' Usisa ko

'6 I guess. May lakad ka ba ngayon?' Sabat ni mommy na may dala-dalang gatas at freshly baked cookies from the kitchen and she kissed my head before he sat beside dad.

'Wala po naman ata mmy' I answered.

'So kumusta na kayo?' Tanong ni daddy ng mailapag ang newspaper na hawak niya at tinanggal ang sout nitong eyeglass.

'We're good dad, thank you for asking' I answered politely, hindi matanong sila mommy pag nag-aaway kami ni Max pero maya't maya ang pagchecheck nila sakin and I dont mind at all.

'Here' naputol ang pag-iisip ko ng may biglang nilapag si daddy sa gitna ng table na silver box at nakita kong ngumiti si mommy at yumakap sa braso ni daddy.

'A-ano po to dad?'

'Open it, dapat sa mismong wedding mo pa namin ibibigay yan...' I opened the box and tears authomaticaly flow down my cheeks at di ko na alam kung may sinabi pa ba si daddy o huminto na siya sa pagsasalita. It was the same necklace from my mom that was given to her by my grandmother, this means a lot to mommy.

'Y-you're giving this to me? P-pero' I mumble as I watch the necklace glow in my hands.

'No one but you should keep that baby. I swore before that ill only hand it to you in the right time and there's no other perfect time than your upcoming wedding.' My mom's voice started to shake and i felt my heart pound.

'Mmy, i-im-' I just cant find the right words to say it.nl

'You dont have to say anything anak, im beyond happy to hand it to you.' I bowed my head and wipe my tears just like what my mom did then my dad stoop up and walk towards me, he stood behind me and took the necklace from my hand.

'To our only princess' I could feel my dad smile as my eyes blink twice feeling the necklace on my neck. I could feel my dad tap my shoulder.

'Thank you dad, mom? Ill keep this, thank you' i bowed my head and hold the heart pendant.

'It looks good on you my dear' My mom said and I stood up and hug them both.

'I couldnt be any luckier, love you mom, dad' I held my tears and took a breath.

'Tama na tong drama, lets go since wala kang ibang gagawin ngayon, isasama kita' tumayo si mommy and I stared curiously at her. 'Baby, malapit na ang graduation party at ang engagement niyo, aside from your wedding gown kelangan mo pa ng iba pang gown. So go, move!' Asik ni mommy sakin and I laugh before I went upstairs.

I no longer fit in my jeans but I dont feel bad about it, I face the mirror and I rubbed my palm on my stomach oh my, im going to be a mother to this precious little one.

'Hey, little one im your mommy. Im so excited to see you, the soonest my love' I involuntarily smile at my own reflection in the mirror, I cant help but blush and giggle. An exciting life ahead of me.

Naputol ang pag-iisip ko ng kumatok si mommy.

'Ready?' My mom asked.

'Ill be right up mom' dali-dali kong kinuha ang bag ko at lumabas ng kwarto.

Si mommy ang nagdrive at dumiretso kami sa kaibigan ni mommy na sikat na gay designer at siya rin ang gagawa ng wedding gown ko.

'Hi Leo?' Nakipagbeso-beso siya sa bakla bago sila bumaling sakin.

'The dazzling bride-to-be' and he kissed me on my cheeks and I responded and gave her my smile.

'Come, check my designs' we had a long conversation and I decided to try some of his designs and a smile flash on my face when I wore a beige cocktail dress that is incarnated with swarovsky crystals and has a see-through sleeves, its exposing my sexy and fair back. Perf

'You look stunning my dear' maarteng saad ng bakla as they made their way to me, umikot ito sakin and he covered his mouth with his hand. 'Perfect fit!' Bulalas nito. 'No doubt, she's really your daughter madame' at lumingon ito sa mommy ko who looked at my reflection in the mirror.

'Of course, you look astounding in that dress hija' She said.

'Is my tummy noticeable already?' I slightly frown, not because im a bit dismay with my pregnancy but because I want to look as gorgeous as my Max on that day.

'No, of course not my dear but if you feel discomforts about that matter, im sure Leo here can make an adjustments. Right?' Bumaling ito sa designer and my eyes set foot on him through the mirror too.

'Surely am.' He answered.

Gowns? Plans? Dates? What else could go wrong? Or so I thought.
