"Congratulations! You're pregnant!"


Those words would mean the world to me if I heard it half-a-year ago. Or even just a month ago when Karma is here. I would've jumped in joy, screamed in happiness when I finally realized what those words mean.


It's here. The event we've all been waiting for. My pregnancy.


Finally, Sonya Cecilia Roxas-Del Castro is finally pregnant.


Ito lang ang pinakahihintay ko sa lahat. Noon, naisip ko na rin na ito lang ang silbi ko para kay Everest. And now, I gained that worth that he's looking for.


I'm pregnant.


Pero bakit hindi ko magawang maging masaya?


"I'm sorry."


Nagpantig ang tenga ko sa mga salita ni Everest. "Don't talk."


The doctors have already left us after examining my condition. I'm fine, just a broken foot that will take time to heal. The concussion I had wasn't severe. I'm lucky I only had these injuries considering it's the passenger side that got hit by another car.


I'm safe. Just some scratches and minor injuries. I'm safe. As well as my baby. The baby inside my tummy. My baby.


My hand found my stomach over the blanket covering my lower body. My hand gripped the blanket tight like I'll rip it any moment.


I stared at the dark sky outside the window. Kumukulog na at nagbabadya na ang ulan. A cold weather perfect for this once-in-a-lifetime event that I thought would make me the happiest in the world.


"Sonya..."


I gritted my teeth. I refused to look at Everest. Nanatili ito sa kwarto at umupo sa tabi ng aking kama na akala mong gusto ko siyang nandito. He knows I don't want him here yet he's still staying.


"Leave me alone, Everest," mariin kong sabi.
