CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR

Present time...

INUBOS muna ni Lana ang dalawang basong gatas bago siya nagsepilyo at saka naghanda sa pagtulog.

            She texted Dylan.

            Just drunk my milk and took my vitamins. Going to sleep na 'ko. May work pa bukas. Good night, Dylan! I love you! <3

            Wala pang ilang minuto pagkapadala niya ng mensahe ay may reply na si Dylan.

            Good girl! Sleep now. Gonna call you tomorrow morning. Sana wala kang sumpong at baka hindi mo sagutin. I love you more. Tell our baby, I love her, too.

            Napangiti siya at sumagot pa ulit.

            Her? Paano mo nasabing girl si baby?

            Dylan answered:

            Mas gumanda ka ten times ten. They said, when the mommy's blooming, the baby is girl. Oh well, I like a baby girl okay? I like a mini Allana. ;)

            Kahit napapapikit na ang mga mata ay nag-reply pa rin siya.

            But I like a cute innocent version of you. :*

            He responded:

            That's not a problem, let's just make another one after our baby girl. Ha-ha! Okay, go to sleep, honey. Put down your phone. Dream of me.

            Pagkabasa niyon ay hindi na nga sumagot pa si Lana. She prayed before going to sleep.

            The next day, Lana felt so light and happy.

It was exactly 7:30 in the morning when her phone rang. Sabik niyang kinuha iyon sa pag-aakalang si Dylan ang tumatawag.

            "Good morning," greeted by a familiar male voice.

            "G-Good morning... Who's this, please?"

            "Hello, Lana. This is Bari. Remember? Dylan's cousin."

            "Oh! H-Hi!" Nagulat siya sa pagtawag na iyon. The last time she saw him, she felt intimidated by his presence. Ganoon na naman ang nararamdaman niya kahit kausap niya lang ito sa telepono. "Ahm... May I help you with something?"

            "Can I come to your office this morning? May sasabihin sana ako sa'yo," seryosong-seryoso na sabi nito.

            Napalunok siya. "T-Tungkol saan?"

            "About Dylan. I have something to confess, actually."

            "C-Confess?" naguguluhang wika niya.

            "Yes. Nagi-guilty kasi ako. It's about how Dylan and you met."

            "We met in a bar." At ganoon na lang ang mabilis na pagtibok ng puso niya nang maalala ang tungkol sa pag-aaya sa kanya ni Dylan noon ng kasal. May kinalaman kaya si Bari roon?

            "Oh, I mean it's about the first time he met you. Sa anniversary ng foundation mo."

            "Yeah. I know about that."

            "Not really, Lana," marahang sabi nito. "Alam mo ba kung bakit siya nandoon talaga?"

            "Kasama mo siya and your other cousins."
