Marian's POV
Binuksan ko ang pinto ng dating kwarto ni mama na ngayon ay bodega na. There were alot of dust that it made me cough and sneeze. Alot of boxes, books, mga figurine at statue ng mga saints, mga gamit ng magulang ko and a lot of old things I didn't find any use for.
Balak ko sanang gawin itong nursery room para sa magiging baby. It was going to take a lot of work. I needed to take these things out of here, I needed to repaint this room, buy baby furnitures. Syempre, hindi ko naman magagawa iyon sa isang araw lang. Uunti-untiin ko lang. Right now, I needed these stuff out.
I was only ten weeks pregnant and I knew I still have a long way to go but I couldn't help it, I was an excited mommy-to-be. Tumitingin-tingin na nga ako sa mga baby boutique para sa damit at mga gamit ng baby ko.
I was thinking of donating these to charity. Hindi ko na naman kailangan ang mga ito. Masisira at maluluma lang dito, hindi pa napakinabangan. Ang mga gamit lang ng mga magulang ko ang iiwan ko. I'd just have to put them somewhere else. Tinitignan ko pa lang ang mga gamit sa loob ng kwarto na 'to, napapagod na ako.
Iniisip ko kung ano ang gagawin ko sa mga ito nang marinig kong tumunog ang doorbell. Naglakad ako papunta sa front door at sumilip sa bintana sa tabi nito. Seth was standing outside. I unlocked the door and opened it.
"Ano'ng ginagawa mo dito?" I asked.
"What? Am I not welcome here?" His brow shot up. "Sabi ni Flor hindi ka pumasok."
He usually calls me when I'm working at the flowershop. Lalo na kapag hindi siya nakakapunta.
"I'm not feeling well." I opened the door wider to let him in.
Kumunot ang noo niya habang naglalakad kami papasok. "Is something wrong? Are you sick? You should've called me."
"Wala 'to, mabigat lang ang pakiradamdam. Kaya naman ni Flor mag-isa, wala naman masyadong customer ngayon." I said.
"Are you sure you're okay?" Naniniguradong tanong niya.
"I swear, promise!" Tinaas ko pa ang isang kamay ko. "I feel better now. Nililinis ko nga ang bodega, gusto ko sanang gawin yun nursery para sa baby."
"Need help?" He asked.
"Yeah, I guess I do. Marami kasing gamit sa bodega. Idodonate ko ang mga iyon sa charity." Sabi ko.
"I'll take care of it." Sabi niya naman.
I lead him to my mother's room. Tinulungan niya akong tanggalin at ayusin ang mga gamit sa kwarto. The room didn't have any airconditioner or fan so it was hot in here. Habang naglilinis kami, he took off his shirt. I bit my bottom lip as I looked at him, beads of sweats trailing from his face and neck to his chest and stomach. I had seen him topless but this was the sexiest I had ever seen him. All sweaty and manly.
My lady boner was all fired up. Why did I pass up a chance na buuin itong bata sa tiyan ko sa natural na paraan?
They say God gives us only what we can handle, He probably thinks I'm a badass because this was too much to handle.
My eyes quickly averted away when he looked at me. I took in a deep breath and casually fanned myself with my hand. "Woo! Ang init dito!"
I walked next to the window and opened it a little wider. Hindi kaya ng konting hangin na galing sa labas. I needed to get out of here.
"Kukuha lang ako ng maiinom. Ano'ng gusto mo, juice, tubig?" Tanong ko. My eyes were fixed to the ground. Iniiwasan kong tignan siya at ang katawan niya.
