"Oh my god..." eto nalang ang nasabi ko nang makita ko ang resulta ng pregnancy test na hawak ko habang ang kabilang kamay ay nasa bibig ko dahil sa pagkagulat.

I'm still in shock right now... i'm happy, scared and pressured at the same time right now but still happy, of course, but there are still questions running through my mind right now. Am I really going to be a mother? Should I tell her when we meet later? How am I going to tell her? Will she be happy?

"Girl, tapos ka na ba? anong result?" sigaw mula sa labas ng banyo ng best friend ko na si Joy. Binuksan ko na ang pinto sa pagka-lock at lumabas na, nakita ko syang nakatayo, nag aabang.

I gave her the PT and she looked at it almost immediately

Her eyes got bigger and..

"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH" I slightly flinched when she screamed "Oh mo god, girl! congrats! omg magiging mother ka na at magiging tita na ako!" she exclaimed happily and hugged me.

I just hugged her back and smiled to myself

Do you wanna know how we found out that i'm pregnant? well ...

EARLIER ... *flashback 20 minutes ago*

I'm here sa condo ni Joy, we're hanging out because i'm bored. Meanwhile my girlfriend, Seulgi, is still working. Mamaya pa ang uwi nya.

Kumakain kami ni Joy ngayon ng mga paborito namin, ito ata hobby naming mag bestfriend bukod sa pagchichismisan. Joke.

While eating my favorite tteokbokki, nararamdaman kong may nakatingin sa'kin, napatingin din ako sakanya. "What?"

"Bakit parang ang lakas mong kumain ngayon?" huh? malakas ba ako kumain ngayon?

"Sinasabi mo dyan? Di ba pwedeng gutom lang?" Sagot ko sakanya

"Hindi eh, may something talaga ngayon... hmm"

"Kung ano ano naiisip mo, bakla ka. Wag mo nga akong pansinin. Gutom lang yan, Joy" natatawang sabi ko at nagpatuloy pa'rin sa pagkain while she stares at me with narrowed eyes.

"Panong hindi papansinin eh yung pepero isinasawsaw mo sa sauce ng tteokbokki, tapos yung potato chips at fish cake ipinagsasabay mo, tapos ang lakas mo pa kumain. Tell me, buntis ka ba?"

Nanlaki ang mata ko sa sinabi nya, "What are you saying! ako? buntis? Kung ano ano iniisip moー" Napatigil ako... nabitawan ko pa yung pepero na isasawsaw ko sana ulit sa sauce.. wait...

Napatingin ako kay Joy na parang naguguluhan sa biglang inasta ko

"Joy... may PT ka ba dyan?"

END OF FLASHBACK

"Anong plano mo? Sasabihin mo na sakanya?"

"I don't know Joy, i'm honestly scared... we haven't talked about having a baby yet. Magiging masaya ba sya? Matatanggap ba nya? Paano kung hindi pa siya ready?"

"Hey, don't overthink. Mahal na mahal ka ni Seulgi, i'm sure she will be happy tsaka it's been what? 4 years simula nung naging kayo, so maybe ready na sya. Ikaw ang tatanungin ko, ready ka ba?" oo naman.

"Of course. I love kids and sigurado naman ako kay Seulgi, and i'm happy, so much" Napaisip ako, oo nga naman, matagal na kami.

"Yun naman pala eh! edi it's solved na. By the way, when are you planning to tell her?"

"Maybe on our 7th anniversary? it's on 2 weeks, this baby inside me will be my gift for her." Yes, naisip ko na agad kung kailan ko sasabihin because I want it to be special.

"Ay pak! Taray! ang romantic naman, talino mo ron!" Natatawa pero kinikilig na sabi ni Joy. Napatawa na rin ako.

I got home na since it's getting late na and sabi ni Joy wag ko raw pagurin ang sarili ko at magpahinga na sa bahay, alagaan ko rin daw ang sarili ko dahil dalawang tao na ang inaalagaan ko. Oh diba, minsan hindi ko na alam kung sino ang mas matanda sa aming dalawa. Charot.

I'm here at the kitchen while cooking dinner, Pork Steak nalang ang niluto ko since i'm craving din.

The pork steak is almost done so I decided to call Seulgi and ask kung pauwi na sya.

"Hi baby, are you almost home na?" Palambing kong sabi, pabebe effect para bilisan nyang pumunta rito.

"Hey baby, i'm sorry but I think i'm going home late. I have something to do pa here sa company. I didn't tell you?"

"No..." I replied sadly, pero hindi ko pinahalata sa boses ko.

"Oh.. must have slipped in my mind. I'm sorry, bawi ako hmm?"

"Okay.. but will you eat here? I cooked pork steak"

"I will try... but baka matulog nalang ako pagdating ko dyan"

"Hm mm fine... bye. I love you"

"Bye, baby. I love you too"

I dropped the call immediately because I felt something watery on my cheeks coming from my eyes. I don't know why i'm crying... Hindi naman ako ganito. Is it because i'm pregnant? Ganito ba yun? Nagiging emotional?

But I noticed something about my girlfriend too.. my girlfriend is acting strange these days. She's always busy and barely come back home on time. Kung makakauwi naman sya nang maaga, sinasabi nya kumain na sila or busog na sya kaya hindi na rin kami nakakapag dinner together.

No, Joohyun, you're just overthinking. Maybe she's just really busy.

I wiped my tears and decided to just eat by myself. Again. Alone. Nawalan ako ng gana kumain pero naalala ko I have a growing baby on my stomach and I want the baby to be healthy kaya kumain parin ako.
