CHAPTER NINETEEN

-Chase Rhennan's PoV-

'HOY, AROGANTENG LALAKI KA! ANONG SINASABI MONG WALANG NANGYARI SA'TIN? SIRA KA BA HA? ANONG TINGIN MO SA'KIN HA?'

 

'Rhennan, pakiramdam ko buntis ako.'

'...Chase, naiiintindihan naman kita eh. Nakukuha ko naman yung sitwasyon mo at yung pananaw mo tungkol dito, pero sana maintindihan mo rin ako. Ako kasi yung pinaka-apektado eh.. kami nung bata. Pero kung hindi mo pa talaga kaya, willing naman akong maghintay. Ayoko lang na pinagtatabuyan ako kasi nagmumukha akong tanga. Ha, Chase? Please? Kung gusto mong ingatan yung reputasyon mo mula rito, sige. Okay lang sa'kin. Wag mo lang itanggi. Wag mo lang kaming ipagtabuyan.'

'About Paris, I can feel there's really something with that girl. Just, please, Chase, don't be afraid to try loving her.'

'Sige na, Chase, amin ka na. Type mo si Paris, ano?'

'Wala naman akong nakikitang masama dun, Chase. Besides, alam kong alam mo na magkaka-baby na kayo.'

Napapikit nalang ako nang madiin. Sumasakit na ang ulo ko sa mga kung anu-anong mga ideyang pumapasok sa isip ko.

Even my previous conversations with some people keeps on haunting me just like now. And I'm not enjoying it.

Frances.

Maybe Agatha's right. There may be really something with that girl--which is something weird and  I don't like.

Ugh! I just... I just hate it.

"Rhennan, baby." I heard mom's voice behind me.

I twist myself to see her. She had entered my room without me noticing her. Maybe I'm just really busy with my thoughts.. those unlikeable thoughts. 

I didn't utter a word. I just looked at her asking why.

She told me if  I have any problem or if there's anything bothering me. I just tell her it's nothing.

She sat beside me. "Binata ka na talaga. Parang dati lang, kahit pinakasimpleng bagay e nilalapit mo sa'min ng daddy mo. Ngayon, ni-hindi ka na nagsi-share. Minsan mo nalang din kami kung kausapin about personal stuffs and such." Nararamdaman kong medyo nalulungkot si Mommy. I know how she misses the times that Rhenisse and I were both little kids. Sobra-sobra kasi ang lambing namin noon. I remember that. Ngayon, I admit, hindi na masyado. I've grown already. Maybe it's just because of that.

I smiled at her. "Nagtatampo ka na ba niyan, Mommy?"

She pouted. "Medyo?"

My mom is still really young. About sixteen years lang ang agwat namin. Yes, she--no, she and Daddy had me when they were both reall young. Naikwento nila sa'kin noon. Inaamin kong I am really amazed with their story. I never imagined na pwedeng mangyari 'yon. At ngayon nga, look at how perfect our family is.
