A Fairytale's Mishap

CHAPTER 2: Three Points

Doctor: Well, Kairi, it's actually very good of you na hindi mo nakakalimutan ang schedule mo for your monthly shots. I think that's very responsible especially that like you've said hindi pa nga kayo prepared to start a family.

Kathryn: Doc, everything is in my planner po kasi para makasiguro na hindi ko po talaga nakakalimutan.

Doctor: That’s good! Some of my patients tend to forget their schedule kaya ayun tuloy unwanted pregnancy ang nangyayari.

Bilang kasagutan ay ngumiti na lamang siya.

Doctor: Anyway, just keep it up. We'll meet again after a month. But if you noticed some unusual changes call me anytime. Okay?

Kathryn: Sure, doc. Uhmm... I think I'd better go now. I'm running late na rin po eh. Ngayon po kasi ang second launching ng foundation.

Doctor: Ah yeah, it's the playoffs as well, right? I remember your husband telling me that the second launching is a sportsfest for everyone in the company. I was actually invited. But as you can see I'm pretty busy right now.

Kathryn: Uhm, okay lang po 'yun. Naiintindihan naman po namin eh....

Kanina pa siya inip na inip na nakaupo sa backseat ng kotse habang nagmamaneho ang driver. And it's barely moving. She's literally stuck in the middle of the traffic. Naiirita na siya nang biglang tumunog ang cellphone niya...

Kathryn: Yeah?

DJ: Babe, where are you? Everyone is here now. Ikaw na lang wala dito.

Kathryn: Kaaalis ko pa lang sa clinic eh. Then, got stucked in the traffic. Anyway, it's just a basketball game. Pwede na kayong magsimula kahit wala pa ako.

She heard him sigh.

DJ: Are you sure?

Kathryn: Yes, babe. Win the game for me, okay?

DJ: Absolutely... But don't be too long. I can't win the game if I can't see your face here...

She smiles.

Kathryn: Opo, bolero kong asawa...

Ang 30 minutes lang sana na byahe ay inabot na ng halos isang oras bago niya narating ang lugar. It's actually a resettlement area near the metro . Dito nila nilipat ang 100 families mula sa mga squatter's area. Dito ay nabigyan sila ng sarili nilang mga tirahan. But at the same time ay binibigyan ang mga magulang ng pagkakataon para i-explore ang anumang pwedeng marangal na pagkakitaan.

The sportsfest being held here is actually the idea of DJ. It is his way of encouraging the employees to participate and immerse themselves into the community. Matapos kasi ang laro ay magkakaroon din ng feeding sessions and everyone is encouraged to help.

The moment she reaches the court ay mukhang kanina pa nga nagsisimula ang laro. Pasimple na lang siyang umupo sa mas mataas na bahagi ng mga bleachers na kung saan ay marami pang bakanteng mga upuan. Karamihan sa mga nanonood ay nasa ibabang bahagi at patuloy na nagchi-cheer. And yeah, most of them are girls.

"Go! Sir Jake!"

She keeps on hearing that from different girls. Sinulyapan niya ang mga naglalaro sa court. Truth be told. Her husband is the one who seems to be outshining. She may be bias for she's the wife. But that's not the case here. DJ has a different aura from most guys. She can't exactly explain it. But her husband is simply breathtaking. And speaking of breathtaking, she really needs to capture the moment…
