"Hindi kaya buntis ka?"

Muntik na ako mahulog sa kinakaupuan ko dahil sa tanong ni Ana. Anong ibig niyang sabihin? Buntis? Ako buntis? Paano ako mabubuntis, e, ayaw ko nga magkaroon ng anak hanggat hindi pa ako nagiging doctor, At sino naman ang makakabuntis sa akin? I don't even have a boyfriend!

"B—buntis? I don't get you,Ana."kinakabahan at nanginginig kong bulong. "I—I'm not pregnant!"

Pakla siyang tumawa at lumayo sa akin. "I was just kidding, Miracle. Sige na lulutuan na kita ng shanghai, ipapatawag na lang kita kay Mary pag okay na."

Tumango ako sakaniya. "Thank you, Ana."

Binigyan ko siya ng maliit na ngiti bago naglakad pabalik sa kwarto ko nang iniisip pa rin 'yung sinabi niya kanina.... weird.

"Miracle!" my cousin's exclaimed as they enters our living room.

I smiled and waved at them. Nakangiti akong naglakad palapit sakanila. Marj, Abe and Maribeth pulled me into a warm and soft hug.

"It's been 3 year since the last time we saw you Mira. How are you?"Marj asked as she kissed me on my cheek.

"I'm good... waiting for the bar exams,"I chucked at muli silang niyakap. "Gosh, I missed the three of you." They're my closest cousin in my father side.

"We missed you too, Mira."Maribeth murmured. I smiled at her. She's so lovely.

"How 'bout you? How's states?"I asked at iginaya sila sa aming sofa.

"Well, still states. Wala pa ring nagbabago."Nakangusong sagot ni Abe at nagkibit balikat.

"Anyway, we came here because we want you to come us—"

"Where?"I cut Marj words. "At kailan pa kayo dumating ng pilipinas? You didn't even text me!"

"Kararating lang namin kanina and we came here immediately but before that we did call tito gwapo first para ipagpaalam ka."She winked. I laughed at her last statement.

She still calling my dad, tito gwapo huh?

"May meeting kasi si Mama at Papa sa manila... you know business at dahil wala naman kaming ginagawa ni Mari ay sumama na kami and of course hindi kami pupunta rito ng wala si Abe."pagkwe-kwento ni Marj at ngumiti.

"Mabuti naman pinayagan siya ni tita Lineth—"

"Oh, don't mention her! As usual hindi siya pinayagan ng mommy niya but we find ways."Maribeth said, then giggled.

Abe's mother, tita Lineth is kinda strict and protected on her. Yeah, we understand that she's just protecting her daughter cause she's a mother and all she wants is the best for her daughter pero ang hindi namin maintindihan ay 'yung ayaw na ayaw niyang sumama o mapalapit sa amin si Abe. Like duh? We're cousins and it's normal kung mapalapit siya sa amin. tita Lineth is kinda weird but she's kind. She's really lovely.

"So where we are going?"I asked them and call yaya Mary to make us some snacks.

Paniguradong nagugutom na 'yung tatlong 'to. Hindi lang nagsasalita.

"Around BGC? I heard may kabubukas na bar do'n."Now it's Abe who answered me.

"At saan mo naman narinig?"Maribeth asked her. Nakataas pa ang isang kilay nito.

"Well, if you find ways to make me come here with you. I did find ways too, to know kung may mga bagong bukas ba na bar dito sa Manila and it's in Ame's Ig story hindi niyo ba nakita?"Parang naiinis na tanong ni Abe sa dalawa.
