May balak sana si Gabriel na laliman pa ang paghalik kay Susannah pero pinigilan sya ng dalaga.
"Hep hep, teka muna," Susannah turned her face away from Gabriel. "Di ka pa nga nanliligaw, may kiss na agad?"
"I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself. I've missed those lips," he grinned mischievously. "The more you play hard to get, the more I want to get you."
"Tapos ano? Tapos tapos na pag sawa ka na? Huwag na uy," umirap si Susannah.
"No," Gabriel said. "Sinong nagsabi nyan? Ang totoo, hindi ko alam kung ano ang mangyayari sa future, but that's what I want to find out with you."
"Hay ang keso keso mo," nilamukot ni Susannah ang mukha ni Gabriel. "Teka nga muna, kailangan ko ng tawagan si Doctor Mark."
Tumayo si Susannah and dialed Mark's office number. Sinundan naman sya ni Gabriel na tumayo sa may bintana. Nung sumagot na ang receptionist sa opisina ni Mark ay sinabi na nito ang good news na confirmed na buntis nga sya. Nagpasalamat sya at hinawakan ang tiyan nya kahit marami ng signs na buntis nga sya bago pa sya tumawag para malaman ang resulta ng blood test.
"Ano daw?" Gabriel put his hands on her arms.
"Buntis daw ako," she smiled.
"Congrats," Gabriel pulled her in for a hug. He even lifted her off the floor.
"Congrats sa dad at stepmom mo, you mean," she corrected him.
"Ano, magcelebrate tayo?" he smiled at her while still holding her jn his arms.
"Celebrate?"
"Ice cream?"
"Ay sige, game ako dyan!"
Pumunta sila sa nalalapit na outdoor shopping mall malapit sa condo ni Gabriel. Pumila na sila at ang laki ng ngiti ni Susannah habang pinapanood yung mga ice cream maker na hinahalo ang mga mix in sa ice cream flavor of choice nung customer. Tuwang tuwa sya sa dami ng flavors ng ice cream at sa dami ng pwedeng i-mix in dito.
"Anong gusto mo?" tanong ni Gabriel.
"Hindi ko pa alam! Ang daming pwedeng flavor. Ang saya saya naman dito!"
"Take your time, hindi naman tayo nagmamadali."
"Hala, hindi ka nanaman pumasok today."
"Okay lang yan. Tatawag naman sila kung may problema."
"Hmm," she looked away from him and looked at the ice cream flavors. "Ano kaya ang masarap? Siguro yung vanilla ice cream na lang with strawberry, banana, tsaka yung cheesecake bites? Ano sa tingin mo?"
"Sounds delicious. Do you want it in a waffle bowl?"
"Pwede ba?" she looked up at him adoringly.
"Of course," he put an arm around her waist and pulled her closer to him as he placed their orders.
Susannah took her phone out at nagpicture pa sa babaeng gumagawa ng ice cream nya. Plano nyang ipakita kay Jason para naman may makita itong bago. Nung tinawag na ang pangalan ni Gabriel ay inalalayan na nya ang dalaga paupo sa isang table sa loob ng ice cream shop. Pinanood nya muna si Susannah bago kinuha ang cell phone ng dalaga at pinicturan ito habang kumakain ng ice cream.
"Ano yan, bakit mo ko pinicturan!" Susannah whined habang sumubo ulit ng ice cream.
"Ang cute mo kasi eh," he smiled at her.
"Ang sarap kasi. Gusto mo tikman?" she didn't wait for his answer and dipped her spoon into her waffle bowl and fed him some of her ice cream. "Sarap, di ba?" she grinned at him.
