Pregnant

Lomeli's POV

Hindi ako makahinga dahil sa nabasa ko. How did that happen? Base on the ultrasound before, I only have a one baby. Pero sa tingin ko ay totoo ang sinasabi niya. Nararamdaman kong walang masamang intensyon ang nag eemail sa'kin. Kung totoo nga 'yon ay kailangan kong sabihin kay Raizen. He need to know the truth.

Kinakabahang tinignan ko sa mata si Raizen. He looked worried. "R-raizen. I h-have something important t-to tell you."

"What is it? May nangyari ba? Sino yung nagtext sa'yo? May emergency?" sunod sunod na tanong ni Raizen. Kailangan kong sabihin sakanya. Mas mapapadali ang imbestigasyon kapag pinaalam ko sakanya.

"Someone texted me. I don't know who she or he is. Raizen... Our child are t-" hindi ko na natuloy ang sasabihin ko dahil sa biglaang pagdilim ng paningin ko.

Nagising ako sa pamilyar na kwarto. I'm inside a hospital room. Pamilyar na sa'kin ang kwartong ito dahil sa madalas na pagkahimatay ko.

Pagmulat palang ng mga mata ko ay nadatnan ko na ang nag aalalang si Raizen.

He hugged me. He hugged me while crying.

Tumingin tingin ako sa paligid. Hindi ko nakita ang parents ko so I asked Raizen.

"Parating na sila. It's already dark outside. Umuulan pa kaya malamang natraffic sila."

Nagkuwentuhan muna kami habang wala pa ang parents ko. Humahanap ako ng magandang tiyempo para sabihin sakanya ang nalaman ko.

I was about to say something when the door suddenly opened. Iniluwa nito ang parents ko. Hindi nila kasama si Kuya Luthor.

Hindi nakatakas sa paningin ko ang pagsama ng tingin ng parents ko kay Raizen na kasalukuyang nakayuko.

"What are you doing here?" seryosong tanong ni Dad kay Raizen.

"I was the one who called you, Mr. Rossi."

"So you're the unknown caller? How did you know my number?" kalmadong tanong ni Dad. Alam kong pinipigil lang ni Daddy ang galit niya.

"I got it from Luthor, sir." magalang na sagot ni Raizen. That's not Raizen. Hindi siya takot na ipaglaban at ipakita sa parents ko na mahal niya ako. Alam kong ganyan siya dahil nakokonsensya parin siya sa nangyari dati.

Hindi na nagsalita pa si Daddy. Hindi inaasahang nilapitan ni Mom si Raizen at pinaghahampas.

"Ang kapal ng mukha mo! Nagpakita ka pa sa'min! Itinuring kitang anak! Nang magising si Lomeli sa coma ay mabait ako sa'yo! I treated you well! Not until I discovered the truth! Ikaw ang may kasalanan ng lahat! Dahil sa'yo namatay ang apo ko!" my Mom is crying loudly.

My dad tried to stop mom. Inalo niya si Mom, but Mom didn't stop.

My dad look at Raizen madly.

May biglang pumasok na doctor. " I have the results of the test. Congratulations, Ms. Rossi." she smiled at me.

We looked at the doctor in unison. Confused. "Bakit po?" tanong ko.

"You're pregnant. Congratulations."

Halos mahimatay ako dahil sa sinabi ng doctor. Biglang napasigaw yung doctor habang nakatingin sa parents ko. My mom fainted at the unexpected news.

"P-po?" gulantang na tanong ko. I looked at dad. He's shock. I can see anger in his eyes. Pagkatapos ay nilingon ko si Raizen. I can sense that he's confused. May nakita akong sakit sa emosyon niya.

"You're one month pregnant, Ms. Rossi."

"Pap-paano po nangyari 'yon? I haven't had that thing for almost five years." I asked. Naguguluhan parin ako sa nangyayari. I am happy cause having a child is a blessing, but I'm also shocked. Paano nangyari 'yon?

Nakakunot parin ang noo ko. I saw my dad staring at me intently. He have that look in his face 'Is he the father?'. Hindi nakakibo si Raizen. I tried to look at him but I failed. Then a memory flashed into my mind.

Nasa bar ako ngayon habang kasama si Jerome. Inaya niya lang akong uminom. I'm not a type of alcoholic person pero dahil mukha siyang problemado ay pumayag ako.

"Bigyan mo ako ng pangbabaeng drink diyan. Kahit ano." utos ko sa bartender.

May ginawa lang saglit yung bartender. Nakita ko ngang may nilagay siyang white powder.

"This is pink drink, Ms. With a sensuous blend of French vodka, blood oranges, mango and passion fruit from South America. This is a low calorie drink ma'am." paliwanag niya. Iniabot niya sa'kin ang drink. Wala akong alam sa mga alcohol brands at sa mga nilalagay dito kaya kinuha ko nalang ang drink which is called pink drink.

Tinabihan ako ni Jerome. He's tipsy pero mukhang nasa katinuan pa naman.

Biglang umikot ang paligid ko. Malabo. I can't see anything clearly. Bakit ang init? Naka aircon naman dito pero bakit sobrang init. I removed my jacket. I saw Jerome. He's hot. Nakikita ko ang bakat niyang abs. That face is so... Damn, what am I thinking?

I saw desire on his eyes which turns me on.

Nagising ako sa hindi pamilyar na kwarto. Nilibot ko ang paningin sa paligid. Malakas ang kutob ko na nasa hotel ako.

My head hurts. Anong nangyari kagabi? Ang huling natatandaan ko ay kainuman ko si Jerome.

Naaalala ko na. A month ago, I was with Jerome. We get drunk. I woke up in a not familiar room. Hindi kaya may nangyari sa'min? Pero paano?

I'm not that kind of woman. Kapag may gusto ako ay hindi ako pumapatol sa iba. May naalala akong nilagay na white powder yung bartender.

I immediately searched kahit nasa loob ako ng ospital. I didn't care if they will look at me. I found out what that thing was. It was a drug called Methamphetamine. It will contribute to hypersexual behavior.

The drink the bartender gave me was pink drink. He did tell me that the drink is a sensuous blend of French vodka, blood oranges, mango and passion fruit from South America. He also told me that it was a low calorie drink, but he didn't told me that the drink will make me flirty.

Nanghihinang napaupo ako sa sahig. I gave myself to Jerome. I gave myself to him. He's the father of my child. We had that thing. Paano na kami ni Raizen? How about my twins?

I cried loudly.

Is this the end?
