"Hi". I looked up and saw Thirdy.
I smiled at him .
"What are you doing?". He asked eyes on my laptop.
"Just doing some of my school works". I answer and went back on answering my activities.
"Okay,just don't stress yourself too much,baka mapagod ang babies ko". He said and kissed my temple then my belly.
He sat beside me and hugged me on my side. I felt him sigh as if he's very tired. I put my laptop down and faced him. Umayos siya ng upo hands still on my waist.
"Are you okay". I asked him and touch his cheeks.
"Uhmm just tired". He answer and felt my touch on his cheek while closing his eyes.
"What can we do to help?". I ask softly.
He opened his eyes and stare at me.
"Just..be here". He answer and hugged me.
I hugged him back.
"Mi! Dy! How about me?". Hihiwalay na sana ako kay Thirdy pero hinigpitan niya ang yakap sakin.
"Just stay,let's tease him". Napailing nalang ako when he whispered those.
"Ikaw talaga".
"Mommy! Daddy! Davin's here!". Sigaw ni Davin
"Can you hear that mommy? Who's that?". Thirdy pretending to not see him .
"It's Davin!". Sagot naman niya.
Natatawa ako,I know any minute now iiyak na to.
"Mommy! Mommy!". Davin poked my legs.
Hindi pa rin kami gumalaw ni Thirdy. Nagulat ako when I felt him touched my belly,I thought his gonna punch it or what but he caress it.
"Baby sister,can you hear me? It's me Kuya,Mom and Dad can't here me,are they deaf now? Help kuya Davin please baby". Tuluyan na kaming naghiwalay ni Thirdy sa yakap at hindi mapigilang matawa.
Nanlaki ang mga mata ni Davin,he look at my belly and whispered
"Wow thanks for the help baby sister". He smiled and kissed my belly.
After that moment Thirdy just stayed for like 2 hours. And my friends came to our house.
"We missed you for real!". Sigaw ni Kianna.
"Yeaaaaah". Si Ponggay.
"Si Davin?". Tanong ni Maddie.
I pouted.
"Don't you miss me Mads? Si Davin agad ang hinanap mo".
"Tsk,kapag napanganak mo na yang baby siya naman hahanapin ko". Mataray niyang sabi.
"Go home Maddie". I said coldly, just joking though.
"Hmm later". She said and went inside to carry Davin.
"Ate Bei,may dala ako for you". Deanna and showed me the crabs.
"Ohh you're so sweet deannawongst". Tili ko at kinuha ang paperbag.
"Crush ka daw kasi niyan nuom Bei". I rolled my eyes when Maddie said that.
"I just brought myself,is it fine?". I rolled my eyes again at Kat this time.
"Come in!".
"Pinakahuli lang akong papasok pero di ako late". Si Jho naman.
I can't help but to roll my eyes at my friends.
We placed ourselves on the living area. And just talk about random stuffs.
"Woi Bei,bilis-bilisan mong manganak so you can play for Ateneo na,Wala ng challenge eh". Si Kianna and look at my friends.
"Talaga ba Kianna?". Si Maddie and flex her muscled arms.
"Hmm anyway ate Bei,kailan ang gender reveal mo?". Tanong ni Deanna
My forehead creased.
"Is it necessary ba?". Tanong ko at kumain ulit ng crabs.
"Not necessary if you want to know her gender on the day you give birth na". Ponggay.
"Ahh so I won't be having one".
I'm also thinking of telling Thirdy about the baby's gender,I wanna make it special,maybe a surprise? Or would it be baduy naman? I want to make it as special as our baby. But I don't want to have a gender reveal party naman. I want it to special cause I wanna make it memorable also. Nag-iisip pa ako kung kailan. Alam ko kasing gusto din ni Thirdy na malaman eh.
"What?" . Kat
"No way!". Kianna
"Ang boring mo Beatriz". Si Jho.
"Huy! Maka-reklamo,kayo ba asawa?". Si Maddie.
"May asawa ba?". Si Deanna
I stilled,what are they trying to say ba?.
"Boom panis,natahimik kasi di pa misis". I glared at Jho because of that.
"Ano nga ba kayo Bei?". Si Kianna.
"Parents of Davin?". I said.
"Wow HAHAHAH or good friends". Si Maddie
"That shares the same kids". Si Kat.
I swallowed what I'm eating and think,yeah,I don't know kung ano kami Thirdy,I mean just like what I said before we didn't get the chance to end what we had before,but we didn't resume naman what we are really. I don't know if he's my boyfriend or not.
"We're really really good friends". Nasabi ko nalang.
Natigilan sila at nagkatinginan.
"Gaano ka good friends?". Ponggay.
"Ganito". Si Deanna at tinaas si Davin sa ere.
"Baka mahulog Deanna". Suway ni Maddie.
"Hindi naman ah". Binaba na ni Deanna si Davin.
"Nya ug nahulog? Pagpuyo gud uy". I shook my head as they started to argue..
My friends went home at about 10:00 pm we all watch movies and they eat dinner in our house. Ate Mela was the one who took good care of Davin nalang. I touched my baby bump as I lay at my bed. To be honest,I haven't thought of having this kind of life. Being in this situation but it happened,I didn't regret being in here though. Thirdy really brought a lot of things in my life. All changes happened the moment I met him.
But the thought of not knowing what we really is bothers me. But his actions. I can feel his love and care for me and for the kids. I love him I know I am. But everytime na sasabihin niyang mahal niya ako,I can't seem to utter the words corresponds to what he said.
I sighed and stopped myself from overthinking,it's not healthy. It's not good for my baby.
I force myself to sleep.

Pahinga.
Yan lagi ang nakukuha ko kapag pumupunta ako sa mga De Leon. Isang yakap Kay Bea at lambing ni Davin,just being there and seeing them is good enough. Energized akong gumawa ng mga assignments at schoolworks.
Kahit noong pumasok ako kinabukasan ay nakangiti ako,I missed seeing Bea around campus though but she's safe and our baby if she stays at home nalang since her pregnancy is quite fragile.
"Hi Thirdy". I stopped walking when I saw Biatrice again,she's the new member of the pep squad.
"Hello". Nakangiti kong bati.
"Hmm can I join you sa lunch?". Natigilan ako pero kalaunan tumango din.
When we went to the cafeteria,every eyes were on me,on us pala. I stilled when I felt her inserted her hands on my folded arms.I look down at her since she's shorter than me.
She look up and smile at me shyly.
"Uhmm I'm shy kasi nakatingin sila satin". Nahihiya niyang sabi,hands still on my arms.
"Don't be,halikana order na tayo". I said instead.
And since I can't leave her behind,I don't know but I feel like I'm responsible for her since she came here to cafeteria with me. The both us sit on the same table,I saw Dani entering the cafeteria and her eyes immediately landed on us. Her forehead creased and look at Biatrice confusingly.
I waved my hand at her,Biatrice looked at the direction I am waving at. She saw Dani. Kumunot ang noo ko when she glared at Dani's.
"I she your girlfriend?". Tanong niya sakin,I was stunned at first but then I answered her.
"No,she's my sister".
I saw her expression changed into a shock one then she smiled.
"Oh really? That's why she's pretty". She complimented.
"Kuya". I looked up to Dani.
"Hey Dans,come eat with me..I mean us". Nilingon ko si Biatrice she's now smiling at Dani even if my sister is not looking at her.
"Yeah,I'll eat here with YOU,oorder lang ako".
"Your sister is really pretty". Puri ulit ni Biatrice
"Ah yeah HAHAHA". Alanganin kong sagot, something is off with her really.
"Biatrice,what year kana?". She stopped eating and look at my direction.
I saw her smiled and blush,or it's just me?
"Don't call Biatrice,Bia nalang mas maikli. I'm first year BS Biology...." Madami pa siyang sinabi that isn't relevant to my question,it's more on about herself but I didn't listen well since I'm not interested.
"Ikaw naman magkwento,since naikwento ko na sayo ang mga tungkol sakin". Natigilan ako,and I just smiled at her. I don't know what to say to her.
Just as I was about to open my mouth.
"My Kuya is not single and unavailable". Nagulat ako kay Dani.
She sat beside me, we're both facing Biatrice,I looked at Biatrice and she stilled. Pero ngumiti din naman siya after a while.
"Oh so you're in a relationship na?". Malungkot niyang tanong.
"Hmm I'm basically in a relationship?". Hindi ko din alam.
"Who's the lucky girl?". Nagtataka talaga everytime she uses her unsual tone.Para bang galit?
"She's...Everyone knows her but you don't". Nakangiting sagot ni Dani.
"Well...I hope to meet her soon". Nakangiti ding sabi ni Biatrice but no excitement can be heard.
"Yeah,I soon.. sana di ka ma-spike sa mukha". Siniko ko si Dani when she whispered the last part.
No one talked after that,we all finished our lunch and part ways. Magkasama naman kami ni Dani,si Biatrice naman ay may pupuntahan pa raw.
"She's flirting with you Kuya". Inis na sabi ni Dani.
I shook my head.
"Your imagining things sis". I mean no I don't think she's flirting with me,she's just friendly. Or too shy and since I'm the one she first met she thinks I can accompany her around, because she seem to have no friends here yet.
"Isusumbong kita kay Ate Bea!". Banta ni Dani.
Na shock namana ako,nagreact ang katawan ko dahil sa sinabi ni Dani but then ano dapat ikatakot ko?
"Tsk Dani,wag ka ngang praning pwede? She's just someone I know.. well a friend maybe but we're not something Bea should be worried about ". I said and pat her head.
"I hope so Kuya,kakakilala pa lang natin kay Davin and you'll having another angel,I'm just thinking ahead,I wanna avoid future complications and problems since I can smell one coming". She said at nauna pa.
Hindi naman ako na bother sa sinabi ni Dani,I'm confident enough to say na walang magiging problema kay Biatrice,she's just a friend really.
