Walang pasabi niya sinapo ang aking mukha at mabilis akong hinalikan ng paulit ulit.
Hindi ko alam kung ilang beses niyang ginawa iyon. Napangiti nalang ako sa kaniya tinuran.
He's happy. Akala ko iba ang kalalabasan kapag nalaman niya ang tungkol sa pinagbubuntis ko.
Marami mga negative na nasa isip ko na parang ayoko ipaalam sa kaniya pero eto ngayon. He knows that I'm pregnant. Wala na ata akong mahihiling basta makasama ko siya.
Ngunit nawala rin kaagad ang kasiyahang nararamdaman ko ng may maalala ako.
Kasal.
Gusto kong maikasal sa kaniya pero hindi ko alam kung paano sa kaniya masasabi iyon. I know that we're to fast to get married.
I know his still enjoying his life. Not a married man.
Hindi ko alam ang plano niya sa akin, sa amin.
"Kailan mo pa alam nabuntis ka?" tanong niya sa akin habang masayang nakahawak sa mga braso ko.
Maliit na ngumiti ako at nahihiyang umiwas ng tingin.
"Last night... I was about to tell you but Caitlin called me and she needs me. I don't want to leave her. She look so hopeless last night... and I don't want to see her like that because of that man who hurt her," I said to him.
"It's okay... Now that I know that you're pregnant. You're not allowed to go anywhere unless kung kasama mo ako, get it?" he said to me and pinch my cheeks.
Tumango ako sa kaniya palatandaan na sumang-ayon ako sa gusto niya.
We spend our time again on his condo. He's hoping that our baby is a little boy and he also tell me that he is planning to tell her mother about my pregnancy.
"What if Hercules magalit siya sa atin?" tanong ko sa kaniya.
Kumunot ang noo niya sa sinabi ko.
"That will never happen, Talitha. I know my Mom, Tali. I know she will support us," he said, trying to convince me.
Kahit nagdadalawang isip ba ako kung totoo ang kaniyang sinasabi ay wala akong magawa kung hindi ang tumango na lang.
Noong unang pagkikita namin ay puro panlalait ang natanggap ko sa kaniya. Nasasaktan ako sa mga sinasabi niya. Alam ko naman kung saan ako nararapat pero hindi ko maiwasang pumasok sa mundong hindi naman akin.
"What if—" before I anything say he cut me off and kissed me rapidly.
"No more What ifs, baby. She will accept us. Don't worry if she doesn't accept us. I don't care anymore, got it," he assure.
Tumango ako para matapos na ang usapan naming dalawa. He hugged me at my back. Nakaupo siya sa isang malaking sofa rito sa veranda niya. Habang nakaupo siya ay nasa gitna naman niya ako at niyayakap niya.
We spend our time like this, cuddling while staring the sunset. Na papalubog na.
"I love you," he whispered.
I just smiled and looked at him carefully as if memorizing his face. I will never get tired of looking at him. His green eyes with ambiguous while looking at me.
I couldn't stop kissing him. It was supposed to be a quick kiss but he deepened the kiss.
We were like that for a minute because our lips parted out of breath. And it seems he wasn't done yet because his lips went down to my neck.
I looked up to give him the privilege to kiss my neck.
"Oh..." hindi ko na napigilang napaungol sa kaniyang ginagawa. Naramdaman ko ang pagpulupot ng braso niya sa maliit na baywang ko at mas lalong pinaglapit ang katawan namin. Kaya ramdam na ramdam ko ang init ng katawan niya.
