Franki's POV
Kabadong kabado ako dito sa pinaggagawa namin. Tagatak ang pawis ko. Those perfect pair of legs fck Franki, magpigil ka. Buntis yang pinagpapantasyahan mo.
"So, uh Diana--pano ka nabuntis?." Anong klaseng kabobohan yan Franki? Malamang, alam mo na ang sagot dun.
"Hmm sabi nina Gazini, hindi to nangyari due to a normal sexual intercourse. My fiance Dino was supposed to be just a sperm donor since gusto ko talagang magkaanak. They injected his sperm inside me."
"Wait, so that guy never touched you like--"
"Nope. Walang nangyaring ganun."
"Wow, that's so cool. Pero you're getting married, ibig sabihin you fell for him."
"Dino's father is dying. At kung sino mang unang makakapagbigay sa kanya ng apo sa kanilang tatlong magkakapatid, sa kanya ang may pinakamalaking hati sa mamanahin."
"Abay Gago pala siya eh. Inanakan ka niya para lang sa mana?."
"Kaya nga napapaisip ako ngayon kung itutuloy ko pa ba tong kasalang magaganap."
"Pero alam mo Diana, dati sabi ko sa sarili ko na gusto kong magkaroon ng baby with you. Yung may DNA natin pareho."
"Baliw. Hindi possible yun. Pareho tayong babae."
"Kung first generation hindi, pero second pwede yun."
"Hindi possible yun Franki."
"Possible nga."
"So, pano?."
"Eto isipin mo, mag-aasawa tayo ng lalaki ngayon. Dapat lalaki at babae ang magiging anak natin, tapos magkakaanak ang mga anak natin. So 1/4 of our DNA mapupunta sa magiging anak nila. Hmm impossible?. 25% sakin at 25% din sayo. Hindi natin anak, pero galing parin sa atin."
Napaisip siya.
"See? Walang impossible sa mundo." Dagdag ko pa.
"No Franki. It doesn't work like that. If you get 50/50 from your parents, that doesn't mean you got 25 each from your grandparents. Sometimes there's an overlap. Especially if for example, lalaki ang anak ko. Humans carry 23 pairs of chromosomes, 22 autosomal pairs and 1 pair of sex chromosomes. He will inherit more of the traits necessary from his grandfather and father more since they share the same Y chromosome. Here, it's in this book."
"Oh. Okay. Pero at least diba, may contribution din tayo sa pagkatao nila."
"Human beings are just too complicated. Think of it, scientists say we share 90+% of our genes with apes tapos below or above 25% lang nakuha natin sa grandparents natin? Correct me, I might be wrong. Anong ibig sabihin nun?."
"Hindi ko rin alam, masyado na akong naguguluhan sa mundo. Hindi ko na alam kung anong papaniwalaan ko. Maybe it's better not to drive into conclusions, lalo na pag hindi pa natin lubusang naiintindihan ang isang particular field."
"May point."
"Diana, galit ka parin ba sakin?."
"25%."
"Above or below?."
"25% less, out of 100."
"So, you're 75% galit parin sakin?."
"Pag nagtanong ka pa ulit, magiging 101 yun."
"Ay haha sorry."
Namiss ko to. Namiss ko siya. Sobra. Mahal ko parin naman tong masungit na version ni Diana.
"Pero last na talaga to D, wag ka masyadong magsusungit. Sige ka, baka pumanget ang anak mo. Magsisisi ka."
"Magiging maganda ang anak ko Franki. Hindi mo siya magiging kamuka."
"Aray ko naman Diana haha grabe. Ang ganda ganda ko kaya. Naku, wag mo kong mamaliitin. Kasi tong mukhang to, ito ang nagpabaliko sayo." Biro ko.
She just stared at me, really really really intense. Please don't do this to me Diana.
Dugdugdugdug
I could hear the clock ticking and the wind hitting the plants' leaves outside. I suddenly felt high and drowning at the same time because of her eyes still staring at me.
I gulped and the next thing I knew, Diana broke the gap between us by connecting our lips together. The contact I've always wanted back.
Who cares about 23 pairs of chromosomes when I could just kiss her pair of lips? Who cares about DNA when I have Diana?
Took you like a shot
Thought that I could chase you with the cold evening
Let a couple years water down how I'm feeling about you (feeling about you)
And every time we talk
Every single word builds up to this moment
And I gotta convince myself I don't want it, even though I do (even though I do)
Her soft sweet lips perfectly fits mine as if it's made just for me. Diana? Why are we doing this? Am I supposed to enjoy this? I guess pregnant women makes people hornier nowadays.
You could break my heart in two
But when it heals, it beats for you
I know it's forward but it's true
Lahat ng pinagdaanan namin bumalik lahat. I could taste her lips along with my salty tears. She pulled me closer to sit on her lap. Why do I feel like she always wanted this like I do?
I wanna hold you when I'm not supposed to
When I'm lying close to someone else
You're stuck in my head and I can't get you out of it
If I could do it all again
I know I'd go back to you
I know I'd go back to you
I know I'd go back to you
And then in just a second, reality hits her. She stopped. Gaya ng dati. Bakas sa mukha niya ang takot.
"Why Franki?!." She stood up na parang siya pa ang galit.
"What?."
"Why didn't you stopped me?!."
"Bakit ka nagagalit?."
"Because I should be! Mali to!. I shouldn't have done that!."
"But you did Diana. Tell me, the feeling. Is it still there?." I cried.
"No." She said at umakyat nalang sa kwarto niya.
We never got it right
Playing and re-playing old conversations
Over-thinking every word and I hate it
'Cause it's not me ('Cause it's not me)
And what's the point in hiding
Everybody knows we got unfinished business
And I regret it if I didn't say this isn't what it could be (isn't what it could be)
You could break my heart in two
But when it heals, it beats for you
I know it's forward but it's true
I wanna hold you when I'm not supposed to
When I'm lying close to someone else
You're stuck in my head and I can't get you out of it
If I could do it all again
I know I'd go back to you
I know I'd go back to you
I go back to you
I go back to you
