Once In A Lifetime (Life Struggle Series #1) COMPLETED

Chapter 30

My lips parted out of surprise. I quickly wrapped my hands around Andrew. I'm so lucky to have a boy best friend like him!

"Thank you!"

Napabitaw lang ako sa yakap nang may pekeng umubo sa likuran ko

"Wow! Hindi pa kayo bayad sa akin, Sir, may yakapan na agad," Jelaica shook her head in disappointment, "Tapos ang isang 'to, easy to get. Pahirapan mo naman, girl!"

Umayos ako ng upo at binigyan siya ng masamang tingin.

"Don't worry, Jel. I'll pay you. Name the price," Andrew said while smirking.

"1 Million?"

Andrew nodded without hesitate, "Deal."

Napapadyak ako sa sobrang inis. I'm not fucking for sale!

Isang milyon lang pala ang kapalit ko.

"One million is waving..."

Matapos nila akong asarin ay umuwi akong mag-isa. They are really good at making me mad! Mas bagay nga sila sa isa't Isa, parehong magaling mangasar. Baka kapag nagka-anak sila ay ang anak naman nila ang pagtripan.

After taking a bath, I eat by myself. I'm alone at this huge condo. Minsan ay sinasamahan ako rito ni Andrew pero kadalasan ay hindi, na naiintindihan ko naman dahil may sarili siyang buhay at hindi n'ya obligasyong samahan ako.

I'd always wanted to be rich... To be able to buy the things I desire, but now that I can have all those things I wanted, I still felt dissatisfied. Yes, I am happy with this life but I'm not as happy as what I imagined before. I thought I'll be the happiest when I can have the things I desire in just a snap. Akala ko lang pala iyon. But don't get me wrong, I am still thankful for all of these, sadyang malungkot lang na wala akong kasama nang maabot ko ang mga ito. And until now, no one's here beside me. I am still alone.

It's still better to be with people whom I loved rather than this stuff. Ano naman kasi ang gagawin ko sa malaking condo na ito kung wala akong kasamang kumain, manood ng telebisyon, kung walang sasalubong sa pag-uwi ko, kung walang magbabantay kapag masama ang pakiramdam ko.

I'm so lonely in this place. This isn't my home.

Nang matapos kong kumain ay hinugasan ko na ang pinagkainan ko at pumasok na sa kwarto para mag pahinga.

"Ang lungkot naman..." bulong ko.

I sighed and took my phone to divert my sadness. I tried to call my friends in the Philippines, si Lady lang sumagot sa group call ko.

"Nag positive po kayo sa pregnancy test, Ma'am. Congratulations."

My forehead creased, didn't get what she's talking about at first. Natawa na lang ako nang mahina nang napagtanto ang kalokohan ng kaibigan.

"W-why did you know? Who told you?" I pretended my voice to be shocked.

Rinig ko ang gulat sa boses n'ya, "Hoy, gaga ka! Nagbibiro lang ako!"

"B-but... It's true. I was about to tell you."

"Shuta ka! Totoo ba 'yan?! 'Wag mo nga akong biruin, Jassy!"

"Totoo nga! If you want, I can send you the pregnancy test I used."

"What the fuck! Seriously, Jassy? Let me see! Mapapatay talaga kita!"

I immediately search for a positive pregnancy test result on Google and sent it to her. I bit my lower lip to surpass myself from laughing.

You started it, bitch.
