Embracing Sunshine (Completed)

"See you Again 4"

ELAINE

I smiled when I looked at our hand still intertwined with each other. Hindi ko maiwasang mapangiti kasi hinayaan nya lang akong hawakan ang kamay nito. I looked at the beautiful stars and I gasped when I saw a shooting star shimmered across the sky . I stared again on hour hands still in clasp and close my eyes to make a wish.

"Lord, I hope the man beside me will find the love he deserves . One who'll make him smile and laugh again. Someone who will make him happy and will never break his heart. I know that his a good man and he deserves it". 

When I opened my eyes he is already looking at me with disbelief written on his eyes. I just smiled at him. 

"I saw a shooting star. I made a wish".  I explained to him. Maybe he'll think of it as childish pero mas namangha pa ako sa sinabi nya.

"What's your wish? Maybe I can make it happen for you"

I just smiled and started walking again. I thought to my self , Yes you can make it happen. Your the only one who can make my wish come true.

I immediately jumped out of bed when I felt that weird feeling in my stomach but before I can successfully leave the bed I felt his arms around my waist not wanting me to leave him. I grumpily tried to pull his hands off me pero napakahigpit nang hawak nito sa akin. Sa sobrang inis ko ay buong lakas ko syang sinipa and bam! I'm free.

He woke up with what I did and looked at me with those lazily brown eyes with creased forehead. Ughh! Syet ang gwapo. Napadako ang mata ko sa dibdib nito. I know his naked down the sheets. Mahilig kasi itong matulog nang nakahubad para daw mas mabilis.

Napaka manyak talaga.

Syet ulit, Gwapo na , hunk pa . 

I again felt that weird feeling on my stomach and that made me wake up from my naughty thoughts. Tinakbo ko ang banyo at tsaka sumuka nang todo.

He worriedly followed me and started to caress my back while holding my hair with his other hand. I glared at him. Naiinis talaga ako sa kanya.

"Okay ka lang ba?" He worriedly asked. Still patting my back for comfort.

I grimace. Mukha ba akong okay?

"Ang takaw, takaw mo kasi. Sabi ko naman sa'yo kagabi na huwag kang masyadong kumain kasi gabi na, nag midnight snack ka pa"

Tinapi ko ang kamay nya. Nanermon pa talaga. Nadagdagan pa tuloy ang inis ko.  Ilang araw na ngang masama ang pakiramdam ko na hindi ko maintidihan tapos pagagalitan nya pa ako. Kasalanan din naman nya eh hndi nya ako pinapatulog nang maayos.

"Baka naman -- "

"Oh my God!" Then I remember something. I pushed him put of the bathroom. "Labas ka labas!"

"What the --"

"Labas ka sabi!"

I rummage our bathroom cabinet. Alam ko na nandito lang iyon eh. Last week ko pa binili nakalimutan ko lang gamitin. Nasaan na ba yun?  I continued searching for it.

"Ah found it!" I opened it and read the instruction. Lord sana ito na yun. Please let this be it.

I peeked on the pregnancy test kit that I put on the sink and after a minute I saw the two red lines forming. Oh my God! napatakip ako nang bibig sa bigla pero wala din iyong nagawa. After the shock subsided I screamed out of joy. I ran out of the bathroom and jump to Francisco when I saw him. 

"I love you, I love you, I love you" Paulit ulit kong sabi dito. He just laughed at me.

"I have a secret to tell you" I looked into his eyes. Trying not to drown with this overwhelming feeling. I gave his lips one last slow kiss at pinagdikit ko ang aming nuo. Still on his arms and my legs still wrapped around his waist.

"I'm pregnant" 

He was stunned. Mukha ngang hindi pa nito naintindihan ang sinabi ko kasi nakatulala parin ito.

"W-w-what?" I smiled as he even stammered with the question.

"WE.ARE. PREGNANT" I whispered word by word to him. When he finally absorbed what I said, sya naman ang paulit-ulit na humalik sa akin. I just laughed at his reaction. He even embraced me tightly not wanting to let me go.

"Para makasigurado bibisita ako sa OB mamaya. Gusto mo bang sumama?" I asked him. Obviously he is still in daze dahil tumango lang ito habang parang lutang parin.

Moments later he just laughed at me when he finally put me on my feet.

"Kaya pala, you've been cranky these days, sinipa mo pa ako kanina. Sinabunutan mo pa ako kagabi while doing our thing and you've been eating weird, really weird stuff. Sino bang ginagawang dip ang ice cream sa mangga"

I lightly punched him and pouted "Hindi ako iyon, anak mo yun. Mag ama kayo mahilig kayo sa weird"

He lightly rubbed his chin with his finger "hmm, Oo nga. Mahilig nga ako sa weird, that's why I fell for you"

This time I punched him hard and walked out "Bahala ka diyan" 

But before I can go out he grabbed my waist and hugged me from my back "Your the weirdest yet the most beautiful thing that ever happened to me"

Ngumiti lang ako at humarap dito "At dahil diyan, maganda tong magiging anak natin kasi sabi mo maganda ako"

He just chuckled and pulled me again for a kiss.

Francisco

"Elaine come here" I asked her to sit beside me. I was scanning her pictures when something caught my attention. 

"Do you remember when this photo was taken?" I pointed one photo on the album. 

"hmm, birthday nang doctor sa hospital nung nag pacheck up kami bakit?"

I slyly grin at her. "Do you remember what happened that day?" looking at the photo, I can clearly remember what happened that day and I cannot believe that we met before.

"Ikaw to diba?" Sabay turo sa batang nasa picture.

"Oo ako nga, may problema ba?"

He smirk "So hindi mo naalala na binigyan mo ako nang black eye?"

I saw her eyes widened when she realized something and I just laughed at her.

"Bata !" Tawag ko sa batang nasa harapan ko. I'm currently at my fathers clinic. Wala kasi akong kasama sa bahay kaya dinala nya na lang ako sa trabaho nito.

"Bakit?" She innocently asked me.

I smirked "Kita panty mo"

I cannot help but smiled when she glared at me. Napacute nito. Naka pigtails ang buhok . Mamula mula ang cheeks and she look really adorable on that hello kitty dress pero kita talaga ang panty nito. Hindi bagay ang dress dito, para kasing boyish.

Inayos nito ang pagkakaupo at umirap sa akin. Moments later ay dumating ang ama nito na may dalang tinapay at nilantakan nito iyon. Wala talagang finese, kahit pagkain ay makalat pero masisi ko ba ? mukhang napakabata pa nito. 5 or 6 years old ata.

"Miss pink panty, nalaglag po yung panyo mo" For the second time she glared at me.

To my surprise ay tinawag niya ako.

"May secret ako gusto kung ibulong sa iyo"

I had to bow down to hear her whisper. 10 years old na kasi ako at mas matangkad talaga ako sa kanya.

When I was able to level in her eyes to my surprise she punched me! Shit! kabata ang lakas manuntok! She leaped inches away from me and shouted.

"Ang bastos mo! At hindi Miss panty ang pangalan ko! Elaine! Elaine yun!" She then ran to her father for protection. Napahaklak na lang ako.
