That scenario repeating many times i a week, until Irene sleeping there for many nights.

"Hindi ba hinahanap ni Irene ng mga magulang niya?" Luis ask when they are eating, Greggy kept silence.

He look at the stare from his family, "Hindi naman po." He answered.

"Greggy, mag ingat ingat kayo madaming nabubuntis ngayon ng hindi ginusto o pinagplanuhan kawawa naman buhay ng bata." Emma advice her son.

"Wala naman pong nangyayari sa amin." Greggy said just to make sure.

The Araneta couple look at each other.

"Kawawa naman kasi kung may mangyari sa kanila, sa atin wala lang yun dahil lalaki anak natin. Pero syempre nakakahiya sa part nila Irene." Emma said, she doesn't believe that there's no sexual tension between Irene and Greggy.

"I know pinapag sabihan ko naman, may mga isip na din naman na sila." Luis answer, "Hayaan mo pag nabuntis niya hindi ko siya tutulungan."

"Kawawa naman, Luis." Emma said, "Ano ba kasi sa tingin mo may nangyayari sa kanila?" Her husband ask.

"Oo, kung wala anong ginagawa nilang dalawa sa kwarto ng gabi? Imposible namang nag aaral lang."

"Malay mo diba? Parehas naman sila ng course iba nga lang ang year." Luis defended.

Emma sigh, "Malay mo, ang bilis nga raw maubos ni Greggy yung mga tissue. Bakit kailangan nila ng maraming tissue baka mamaya iba na pinupunasan nila."

"Emma kaya na nila yun. Nasa tamang edad na sila." Luis said once again.



"We should buy pills, bago tayo mag punta ng bahay." Irene said, "Okay love." Greggy said.

They went to the drug store so Irene can buy what she needs. While waiting for the car Greggy look at his wallet, "Shit limang daan na lang." He whispered, it's only second week of the month right now.

"You good?" Irene ask when she came back.

"Yes, do you want to eat?" Greggy ask since it's already 5 in the afternoon.

"Yes, can we eat in wildflour?" Greggy blink a little when he heard that, "Y-yes of course love." He answered.

"You sure?" Irene ask, Greggy nodded, "Of course minsan lang naman."

They went to the wildflour, "Pick what you want love." Greggy said.

"You are busy on your phone, what are you doing?" Irene ask, Greggy push the phone back to his pocket.

"I want a steak." Irene said, Greggy gulp just watching her.

"Ano ngang problema?" Irene ask knowing that there's something wrong.

"Wala love, order something for you na. Di pa ako gutom." He answered being ashamed by his self.

"Alan mo Greggy, we can both eat. If you have work in the future dun mo na lang ako ilibre, but now shoulder ko na." She smile holding his hand.

He just stare, he hated this scenario so much, every time he get his allowance he will surely spoil Irene. She don't have any issue about that knowing how strict Araneta with money, but Greggy doesn't like the idea that he can't even date Irene properly.

"Hello po tita tito." Greggy went to Irene's parents so he can bless on their hands.

"Hello Greggy, naabutan ata kayo ng gabi ah." Imelda said, "Yes po katatapos lang po kasi ng schedule ni Irene." He answered.

"Kumain na ba kayo?" Ferdinand ask, "Yes po." Irene answer, "We will going upstairs na ha." She added.

Greggy closes his eyes, it's started to get hurt and teary. He look at his girlfriend, "What are you doing?" He asked.
