Chapter 17

Its been what? 5 months after all the problems happened. Halata na ang baby bump ko.

I am excited!

Though, its sad because after what happened, i didn't seen Diken na.

And I'm still thinking of that woman.

Well, I need to be careful.

My pregnancy is sensitive.

I smiled with that thought.

Dapat mag focus ka sa baby mo!

I'm here at my parents house. Dito na ulit ako nag stay. Because to be honest, i don't have nowhere to go.

And Its a good news that Lindy is back!

And what's more special is

She's also pregnant!

Ang happy diba?

Hindi ko na ikekwento kung ano ang nangyari ha? Kasi may sarili syang kwento.

At saka madami akong iniisip ngayon :)

"Ano sis ready kana?" Lindy ask smiling.

She's wearing a pink maternity dress, and it suits her. She's beautiful. Just like me.

"Yes! I'm excited!" Sabi ko.

We are going to the mall para mamili ng mga gamit ng baby.

Isn't exciting? Hihi

"Pansin ko nga. Let's go! I'm also excited! Yiiieeehhh" sagot nya na parang kinikilig pa.

You can't blame us right?

Its our first time to get pregnant.

Kasama namin sila mommy and daddy na excited din.

I'm sure they are.

Specially to my baby's gender.

Hindi pa kasi ako nag papa ultra sound.

I want to know it after i give birth.

I want it as a surprise.

Kaya ang bibilhin kong mga gamit ay yung pwede sa babae at lalaki.

Pagdating namin sa mall, pumasok kami sa BABY'S. Andito na naman lahat ng kakailanganin namin.

Nagkanya kanya na kami, nagpunta ako sa mga Kurtina at unan pang baby.

May nakita akong mga sales lady sa gilid.

They smiled at me. And i smile back.

"May hinahanap po kayo Ma'am?" Tanong sa akin nong isa.

"Ah wala, mag titingin tingin pa lang. I will just call you pag kailangan ko ng tulong" sagot ko. I smiled at her.

Bumalik sya don. And they started talking.

Hindi ko na lang sila pinansin at sinimulan na ang pamimili.

I am looking to a Curtain that is color White.

Its so cute. I touch the fabric and its so soft.

I heared one of the sales lady whisper

"Nandito daw ang may ari ng mall" She informed the others.

"Talaga? Hala! Terror pa naman yon"

"Okay lang sobrang gwapo naman eh, makalaglag panty day!"

I want to laugh. HAHA makalaglag panty? Seryoso?

"Oo nga eh, pero nakakapag taka bakit andito sya ngayon?"

Napapa ngiti na lang ako.

I am about to ask the sales lady if they have some other color of the curtain because i like the fabric of it when ..

"Ahmm Miss do you have any color of this?" I ask.

Walang sumasagot saken.

But I just hear them talking a while ago.

I was about to look for them when ..

"We have a lot of that. If you want them, just say so. In any color" ani ng baritong boses.

And oh gosh!

I miss that voice.

I turn my head to see who's talking.

Nanlaki ang mga mata ko.

Napaatras ako.

Pero hinawakan nya ako at hinila palapit sa kanya

"Careful, wala ka nang aatrasan" he said.

While intently looking for me

"W-what a-are you doing here?" I ask.

He just smiled at me.

"So namimili ka na ng mga gamit ni baby? May mga napili ka naba? Just say it to me okay? Pag may gusto ka sabihin mo lang. My mall is open so we can go to other stall" Then he smiled.

Mas lalo sigurong nanlaki ang mata ko

"Y-you own this?" Gulat na tanong ko.

Because i don't know! I really don't know.

"Yes."he wink at me.

"Na miss kita. Sobra" he said.

Nakatingin lang sya sa akin, at ganon din ako sa kanya.

Hindi ako sumagot o nagsalita. I am still can't believe it that He's here infront of me. 

Kanina iniisip ko lang sya ah?

"Ahmm .. Sorry hindi kita napuntahan, I've been busy" dagdag nya.

Busy? Siguro busy don sa babae nya?

Napangiti ako ng mapait.

"How are you Leigh?" He ask.

He's serious this time.

Maybe because nakahalata na sya na hindi ako sumasagot. And he's the only one talking.

And he called me Leigh.

I am just Leigh to him. Wala ng endearment.

"O-okay lang" sagot ko.

Tumingin ako sa paligid.

Wala na akong makitang tao.

I can't see mom and dad and even Lindy!

"Where are them?" I ask myself.

"They go to other stall i think" he said.

He heared that?

"You're talking it out loud" sabi pa nya.

Hindi na naman ako nagsalita.

Because i don't know what to say.

Wala akong sasabihin.

Yes, marami akong tanong pero paano?

"Can we talk?" He ask.

And i nod.
