PARIS POV
It's only two in the morning when I woke up. I suddenly craved for siopao. At dahil alam kong wala kaming stock non, huminga lang ako ng malalim. I feel that I really want to cry. It is so hard, I'm so emotional pero dahil ginusto ko ito. Wala akong magagawa.
"Baby... mamayang umaga na lang tayo kumain ng siopao ha? Delikado na kasi." marahan kong sabi habang hinahaplos ang baby bump ko. Umupo ako sa kama habang hinahaplos ang tyan ko. When I remember my old phone. Tumayo ako at kinuha ko iyon sa cabinet ko.
I went back to my bed at muling sumandal sa headboard. Huminga ako ng malalim bago ko binuhay ang cellphone ko. It's been 3 months when I turn it off. Nang bumukas iyon, agad bumungad sa akin ang picture naming dalawa ni Liam. It was taken after my graduation. Napangiti ako. Bubuksan ko sana ang gallery ng sunod sunod na dumating ang mga messages.
It was came from my Mom, Dad, Kuya Jet and... Liam and even Liam's parents.
I take a deep breath when I open my Mom's message.
From: Mom
Princess, please come back home. I miss you so much anak.
From: Dad
Princess, nagaalala kami ng mommy mo please come home, let's talk about it.
at ilan pang mensahe na galing kila mom at dad at nagsasabi na umuwi na ako.
Then I open Kuya Jet's message. I'm still hurt of what Kuya Jet said at nagtatampo pa din ako, I never expect na masasabi yun ni Kuya of all people. I smiled bitterly. and open the message
From: Kuya Jet
Princess, I know you're mad, but please wag ganito. Kung ayaw mo akong kibuin okay lang. Kung ayaw mo akong makita, hindi ako magpapakita but not like this. Yung hindi namin alam kung nasaan ka, kung nasaan kayo. Hindi namin alam kung okay lang ba kayo. God princess. I miss you so much I'm sorry for what I have said, please come back home. Umuwi na kayo ni Shane it's not safe for the both of you lalo at buntis si Shane.
When I read it nagulat ako, how did he know that Shane is pregnant? Hindi ko na binasa pa ang ibang message ni kuya, I know he's sincere but I cant help myself na magtampo kay kuya.
And then I scroll down and open Liam's message.
From: Liam <3
Sweetheart, please let's talk, I'm getting married at hindi ako matahimik na hindi kita nakakausap. I know what I did is wrong, what happen is wrong and I really regret it. So please come home we are worried about you.
At doon na ako napaiyak, he regret what happen between us. What do I expect? ako lang naman ang may gusto sa nangyari sa amin. And he's still getting married. Hinawakan ko ang tyan ko at umiyak, I keep saying sorry to my baby, because I cant give him or her a complete family.
If only Liam can love me back. At hindi ito ikakasal wala sanang problema.
And before I knew it I already dialled Liam's number and before I end the line someone already answer the other line.
"Paris... Sweetheart... Please talk to me... God! Where are you?" sabi ni Liam sa kabilang linya halatang nakatulog na ito base sa medyo paos na nitong boses.
"Congratulations Liam for your upcoming wedding. I'm sorry I cant attend to your wedding. I'm hangging up bye Liam." sabi ko sa garalgal na tinig. Narinig ko pa ang pagpigil nito.
2 DAYS BEFORE LIAM'S WEDDING
"Namamaga na naman ang mata mo." sabi sa akin ni Shane habang nasa hapag kami. Pilit akong ngumiti sa kanya.
"Yes sis! Parang ikaw hindi echusera!" at tumawa ako ganon din ito. At sabay na lang kami napabuntong hininga.
"Sis you need to go back to Manila." sabi sa akin ni Shane. Maang akong napatingin sa kanya. At nagtatanong ang matang tinignan ko sya.
"Sa isang araw na ang kasal ni Liam. This is your only chance, your last chance para bigyan ng ama ang baby mo. Sis think about it, you and your baby need Liam. I know it's like jumping on the cliff but this is the price that you have to pay. If ever Liam, didnt accept you then... we'll leave the country for good. You and your baby, and me and my angel." sabi nya pa sa akin. Napailing ako, paano nya nasasabi ito, na kung tutuusin ay mas komplikado ang sitwasyon namin ni Liam kesa sa sitwasyon nila ni Kuya. Baka sila may chance pa na mabuo pero kami ni Liam I doubt it.
"Sis are you even thinking? Alam mong hindi ako mahal ni Liam at ikakasal na sya. Hindi tayo parehas ng sitwasyon, kung tutuusin yung sa inyo ni Kuya kaya nyo pang ayusin kung maguusap kayo, but me and Liam it's impossible. Ayokong tanggihan nya ang anak ko." matigas na sabi ko kay Shane. Umiling ito at parang iiyak.
"You're wrong. You are special for Liam. At ang tanggihan ba ang bata ang kinatatakot mo o ang tanggihan ka nya? Sis, all you have to do is to take the risk. And if wont work then we'll live our lives without them. And you're wrong again. Because your brother and I cant fix it. She and Jenny is already together. Think about what I've said. It's for your baby's sake. Para kahit isa man lang sa atin sumaya." sabi ni Shane na may pilit na ngiti sa labi at marahang tumayo at lumakad papunta sa kwarto hawak ang tyan nitong malaki na, Shane is already 5 months going to 6.
Tumayo din ako at niligpit ang kinainan namin, at habang naghuhugas ako ng pinggan inisip ko ang sinabi ni Shane. Should I take the risk? At bago pa ako matapos maghugas ng kinainan namin I already make decision.
Pumunta ako sa kwarto ni Shane at nakita ko itong nakahiga sa kama nito habang nanonood ng tv. Umupo ako sa kama nito at nagsalita.
"I already decide to take a risk, but I need you to be with me. Please sis, you know that you are my strength right now. And I can't leave you alone here. Baka kung ano mangyari sa inyo ng pamangkin ko. And I also want you to talk to my brother, ayaw kong lumaki ang pamangkin ko ng walang tatay. Please sis. And just like what you've said. If nothing happens then we'll live our lives without them. So please come home with me huh?" marahan kong sabi kay Shane. Nakita ko ang pagtutol sa kanyang mata kaya muli akong nagsalita.
"If you wont come with me... then I let Kuya Jet come to you..." I know magagalit sya but this is the only way I can do for her. "Please sis. I need you there." muli kong sabi at naiiyak syang tinignan. At napangiti ako ng tumango sya. Agad ko syang niyakap.
"But I can't drive, I'm afraid something bad happen to my baby." sabi ni Shane na may pagaalinlangan ang boses.
"Magpapasundo tayo, this is the right time to make my brother pay for what he did to you medyo pahirapan natin." Natatawa kong sabi at umiling naman ito. At napagkasunduan naming mag pack na ng gamit. We decide to take a bus to pangasinan doon kami magpapasundo, we still want this house to keep away from there nose. In case something happen we still have a place to go.
While packing I check what time is it. And it stated on my clock that it's 7:35 in the morning I turn on my cellphone again and dial my brother's number. And it takes few rings before I got an answer.
"Fetch us in SM Rosales. Greenwich." yun lang ang sinabi ko at binaba na ang tawag. Huminga ako ng malalim at muling pinatay ang cellphone. I'll just turn it on when we are in Pangasinan already. Naligo muna ako at nag-ayos halos isang oras lang nasa byahe na kami ni Shane. Parehas lang kaming tahimik at kinakabahan.
10:40 am kami dumating sa SM Rosales, marahan kaming lumakad ni Shane papuntang greenwich we both crave for pizza right now so we both decided to eat while we are waiting.
Pero nagulat na lang kami ng makita namin si Kuya sa entrance ng greenwich na tila ba inaabangan ang pagdating namin. He look thinner the last time I saw him. And what surprise me is someone is with him. Liam is with him standing there at nakatingin sa amin ni Shane. I feel Shane's hand on my arms, she's cold pinisil ko iyon. assuring her that it will be alright.
"Sweetheart..." sabi ni Liam na nagpalingon kay Kuya Jet sa kinaroroonan namin. And before I knew it both of them were in front of us and Liam is hugging me and Kuya Jet is hugging Shane.
