"Oh? ba't parang pagod na pagod ka diyan?" nag-uunat pa si Emily ng katawan nang makarating siya sa restaurant ng kaibigan n'ya.It's been a week since she started learning how to use and hold a gun with the help of Anthony."Marami kasi akong ginawa last week, sobrang nakakapagod. Ang sakit ng katawan ko." tugon n'ya kay Matilda na ngayo'y nakatitig lang sakanya habang hinihilot n'ya ang katawan n'ya. She temporarily closed her clinic for that training, aside sa paggamit ng baril, she also train again about the hand and hand fight para hindi manibago ang katawan n'ya kapag napasabak sa laban."Sarado clinic mo ah, saan ka napagod? Are you Anthony doing it day and night? oh my gosh, that's wild!" sabay tawa ni Mary dahil sa sariling sinabi kaya sinamaan n'ya ito ng tingin. Si Ali at Matilda naman ay nakatawa lang din kaya pati ang mga ito ay sinamaan ng tingin ni Emily."We're not okay, may mga ginagawa lang ako pero hindi yung iniisip n'yo na day and night with Anthony, ano ba." sawa
"Where are you going? It's midnight already." she asked her husband na dali-daling bumangon mula sa pagkakahiga nila."Gideon called, he needs my help. My men is already there but I want to help as well. It's happening already, Matilda is in danger." biglang kumabog ang dibdib ni Emily ng malakas dahil sa sinabi nito."What? I should— I'm coming with you." tatayo na dapat si Emily pero pinigilan siya ni Anthony."No, this is risky. I just need you to stay here." anito pa but Emily wanted to help."Why can't I go? I want to help you and I want to save my friend." she's being stubborn but she's scared na baka anong mangyari."Wife, please just stay here. I'll go home with you without any blood or bruises on me and I'll make sure that Matilda is safe. My men are with me and then sila Edward andoon din, just stay here para mapanatag ang loob ko." pakiusap nito. Just a simple assurance from her husband, napapanatag na ang loob ni Emily kaya tumango siya dito."Be careful, alright?" she sai
"Why did you wake up so early?" nakahawak ito sa kamay n'ya habang pababa sila ng hagdan patungo sa dining area."I woke up at nine a.m, that's not early." aniya pa sa asawa at sasagot pa sana dapat ito nang marinig nila ang ingay sa dining area na ikinanoot ng noo ng asawa."Who is that? you have a visitors?" baling ng tingin nito sakanya sabay tanong niyon."That was your friends. It's Edward, Luke and Christian. When I woke up this morning, diyan sila sa sala natutulog and they're eating breakfast right now, I suppose." paliwanag n'ya dito pero patuloy na nakakunot ang noo ni Anthony. "Why? hindi mo ba alam na andito sila? hindi ba kayo nagsabay kaninang madaling araw papunta dito?" takang tanong n'ya dito.Ang mukha ni Anthony ay parang inaalala nito kung kasama n'ya ba ang mga ito pauwi kaninang madaling araw pero mukhang hindi nito maalala kaya dali-dali siya nitong hinila na papunta sa dining area kung saan maingay. "Hey, what are you all doing in my house?" naabutan nila ang
"Emily, you startled us!" hindi pinansin ni Emilt si Edward na nagsalita na nakahawak pa sa dibdib nito. Nakatingin lang siya kay Anthony habang naglalakad pababa at papunta dito."Ano? sagot, Anthony." aniya pa sa asawa na may galit na na mukha habang taimtim na nakatingin sa asawa."Wife, you're scaring me. Can you calm down and sit down as I'll explain to you what happened and why I shot her?" doon lang parang kumalma si Emily at tumango sa asawa sabay upo sa tabi nito."We were in complicated situation earlier, the enemy has Matilda and we couldn't shot them kasi nakatutok ang baril nito dito. Doon ako nagka idea to shoot her shoulder just a little, sakto lang para tumagos ang bala sa kalaban na nasa likod n'ya. She became unconscious but that's because she was shocked and not because I shot her." "so where is she now?" nag-aalala parin si Emily sa kaibigan kahit pa nag explain na ito sakanya."she's in the hospital now, nagamot ko na siya kaninang madaling araw kaya sobrang umag
"I told Matilda we'll be there at two p.m, but we're still driving now papuntang hospital and it's three p.m already. Great, this is all your fault." sabay duro n'ya sa asawa na ngayo'y nagmamaneho pa.narinig n'yang humagikhik ito sa tabi n'ya kaya sinamaan n'ya ito ng tingin. "well, you didn't say no when it tempted you to do it so basically, you like it. You even moaned, so it's not just my fault, isn't it, wife?" mas sinamaan pa ito ng tingin ni Emilt dahil sa sinabi nito.Matter of fact, she loves it, who wouldn't, though? Kapag naaalala ni Emily iyong nangyari kanina, it still gives her a butterflies and turn her on so much."Y-you shouldn't have to do it in the first place. alam mong may lakad tayo pero inakit mo parin ako to do it with you so sino ako para tanggihan yun? I'm just a girl and you're my husband." pag re-reason n'ya pa dito na mas ikinatawa pa ng asawa."I saw you staring at me so I grabbed the chance. I'm just making sure na next month may laman na iyan." anito p
"oh, what are you doing here? tapos na kayong mag-usap ni Matilda?" her husband's smiled upon seeing her enter his office is something that Emily treasure so much."Yeah, dumating na din si Gideon kaya pumunta narin ako dito. I don't want to witness them being loving to each other. I have a very healthy love life with you but I still find it cringe whenever a couple is being sweet in front of me." aniya pa at naupos na sa harap ng binata. She heard Anthony laugh at her."You're really like that. I'll be surprised if you'll enjoy a scene like that in front of you." tugon ng asawa n'ya habang patuloy sa pagsusulat ng report nito."I'm happy for them but please not in front of me." she even acted like she's disgusted with her hands and Anthony loving it, he just keeps on laughing at his wife."are you gonna be busy for awhile?" pag-iba n'ya pa sa topic nilang dalawa.tinapunan siya ng tingin ng asawa at tinitigan. "Why? may pupuntahan ba tayo?" Emily smiled at him.umiiling-iling si Emil
"Yan lang ba snack mo?" tanong pa nito when she ordered some dessert.Tumango si Emily kay doc. Alvarez. "Yes, I'm full naman na. Kumain na kami kanina and besides, we're not here to eat, are we?" si Alvarez naman ang tumango sakanya ngayon."So, what's bothering you right now, Doc. Alvarez? you seem so stress about it and you doesn't seem like the hyper Alvarez that I know." she said to him. She's been observing him for the few minutes they've been together at nakikita ni Emily kung gaano katamlay ang binata habang naglalakad sila."Minsan talaga nakakainis yung mga psychologist. Ang hilig mang observe ng actions ng tao, wala kang maitatago." reklamo and Emily couldn't agree more except sa naiinis ito sa mga psychologist na tulad n'ya."Yeah so you can't deny anything anymore. So tell me, what's bothering you to be this sad?" she's ready to listen to everything he'll say. Humugot ng malalim na hininga si Alvarez bago nagsimula. "You remember Samantha, right?" tumango si Emily sa bin
"you startled me, Anthony." nakahawak sa dibdib n'ya si Emily dahil nagulat talaga siya ng may biglang nagsalita sa likod nila."He's so pissed, i told you he'll gonna kill me if he'll saw us talking." well, Doc. Alvarez is right. Anthony has this super pissed face right now while looking at them."What are you guys talking? I've been looking for Emily for thirty minutes kasi wala siya sa opisina ko when I got there. I tried asking Matilda but she said Emily left almost an hour ago already, and magkasama lang pala kayo." Emily can see irritation and jealousy from her husband's face and she finds it cute kaya natawa na lamang siya dito."You sound so jealous, husband. Alright, I'm gonna explain since ako naman ang nag approach kay Doctor Alvarez when I saw him sa hallway." she said at saka pinaupo sa tabi n'ya ang asawa."out topic is Samantha. He wanted someone to talk about his past and current relationship with her and how it's confusing and painful at the same it is for him. I list
"Daddy, aren't we gonna play outside?" tanong ng prinsesa ni Anthony. Nasa bahay sila ng oras na iyon kasama ang kakambal nitong kapatid at inaayosan n'ya."We will but first, we have to put a towel on both of your back para hindi kayo matuyuan ng pawis and also I have to put polbo sainyo dahil papagalitan tayo ni mommy kapag nalaman n'yang hindi ko kayo nilagyan ng towel at polbo." aniya pa sa mga anak n'ya na ikinahagikhik ng mga ito.They're already five years old, time goes by so easily. Parang dati lang tuwang-tuwa siya dahil nalaman n'yang babae at lalaki ang kambal nila ni Emily pero ngayon, binibihisan na n'ya ang mga ito para makapaglaro sa labas kasama ang mga anak ng iba niyang kaibigan."daddy you're so scared of mom. Mom won't bite you." ani ni Germoiane, ang lalaki n'yang anak na ikinatango-tango naman ni Hermioane na babae n'yang anak."Yeah, mom won't bite me but if she'll gonna be mad at me, the chances of me sleeping on the couch is one hundred percent so let's not m
"I hope my wife likes this breakfast." aniya pa habang kausap ang mommy n'ya sa kabilang linya. Humihingi siya ng pwedeng lutuin sa umagang iyon sa mommy n'ya, this past few days nagiging picky eater si Emily kahit tapos na ang paglilihi nito."oh she will." siguradong tugon ng mommy n'ya sakanya."I don't get it, mom. Bakit paranh naglilihi parin si Emily eh one of these days manganganak na siya diba? diba dapat babalik na sa normal ang pag kain n'ya?" tanong n'ya sa Ina. Naka loud speaker ito dahil nagluluto siya habang kausap ito. Actually, ginising n'ya ito ng maaga para tulungan siya."I don't know, you're a doctor, you should know." anito at binalik sakanya ang mga tanong n'ya."I don't know. Maybe it's the hormones. Maybe the twins wants more foods." aniya pa dito na ikinatawa nalang ng mommy n'ya."So you guys didn't really bother to know the gender? you want to be surprised that much, huh?" anito pa sa kabilang linya."Yeah, nagkasundo kami ni Emily na huwag alamin hanggang
Today is the day of Emily and Anthony's wedding. Everyone is busy preparing and so as Emily. Her make up is done but her hair is still on going. She's not wearing her wedding gown yet and she hasn't seen it yet. It will be a surprise since Anthony chooses the design and she choose a design for his tuxedo as well."The bride looks so beautiful." komento ng make up artist n'yang bakla habang ang isa sa mga tao nito ay inaayos ang buhok n'ya."Thank you, you did the make up so all credits to you." she said to him but he laughed at what she said."Our make up is good but really, you're already beautiful even without those. I was even speechless when I saw you, I thought if you still needed a make up." tumawa si Emily sa pangbo-bola nito."Ikaw talaga, napaka palabiro mo." aniya pa."Nako ma'am, akala mo ba siya lang ang na speechless sa ganda mo nung makita ka namin? kami din 'no, like your so pretty po talaga." sumang-ayon din naman ang ibang kasamahan nito na ikinatawa lang ni Emily."T
"Mr. And Mrs. Vasquez, how are you? I'm doctor Antonia." nakipag kamay silang dalawa sa bago nilang doktor. The doctor is an Ob-gyn and so good in what they do. She's actually one of Anthony's most amazing doctors noong full time doctor pa ito hospital n'ya. Pero ngayon may sarili na itong clinic at pumupunta lang sa hospital n'ya kung magpapaanak ito ng isa sa pasyente n'ya."Antonia, how are you?" tanong pa ng asawa n'ya dito na ikinatawa nito."I'm fine, doc. The business are going strong and your wife is one of my patient now." sabay tawa nito at baling sakanya ng tingin nito."Hi, Mrs. Vasquez. I'll be your doctor for your whole pregnancy." ngumiti si Emily dito. She likes the doctor. She thinks that she's kind enough to be her friend."Hello, I'm excited for this whole pregnancy." aniya pa na ikinatawa nang doktor pati narin ng asawa n'ya.Umupo na sila sa upuan sa harap ng table nito dahil marami itong tanong. Sobrang dami nilang pinag-usapan bago pa nga nag ultrasound. Hawak-h
"Buti naman at hindi kayo late na dalawa, ano?" natawa si Emily sa bungad sakanila ng kaibigan n'ya."why would we be late?" maang-maangan n'ya pa dito."aba ewan ko sainyo. Kayo lang naman nakakaalam ng ginagawa n'yo sa bahay bago umalis." anito. Andoon din ang ibang mga kaibigan nila at mga pamilya nila na susukatan ng gown and suites. Everyone is there and the last one to arrive is si Anthony at Emily, parteda wala pang ginawa yan, but at least they're not late."so? are you ready? I'll measure your body now and take note, Emily, I'll put some extra space kasi two months from now pa ang wedding, meaning medyo lalaki na ang tiyan mo kaya I'll put some extra measurement para hindi tayo mahirapan sa mismong kasal kasi masikip sa'yo ang gown." tumango si Emily sa kaibigan. she lets her do whatever she wants to do since she's the expert in it.Nakapili na sila ng design ng gown, or should Emily say na nakapili na ng design ng gown n'ya si Anthony. She challenged Anthony na ito ang pumil
"I can't believe this guy, fainting dahil buntis ka." nakahiga ang asawa ni Emily ngayon sa sofa ng hospital habang ang iba ay nagsi-celebrate parin. "Yeah, such a weak." ani naman ni Edward habang pinapalibutan nila si Anthony na tulog na tulog parin.Everyone was shocked when she said the good news but he fainted, pero imbis na mag-alala ang mga ibang doktor, natawa nalang ang mga ito peri ang mga kaibigan nito ay natatawa na parang nahihiya dahil sa kaibigan nila."Easy for you guys to say, hindi pa naman nabubuntis ang mga jowa n'yo kung meron." singit ni Mary sa mga ito."you're not pregnant so I can't really relate to him so for now I'm gonna call him weak." tugon naman ni Christian at napailing-iling na lamang silang magkakaibigan dito."Alright everyone, stop talking about Anthony na. Gigising na iyan any minute from now." matapos sabihin iyon ni Emily ay nagising din talaga si Anthony na para bang naalimpungatan pa."How are you feeling?" tanong n'ya sa binata at nang makita
Nag-ayos ng gamit si Emily dahil pupunta siyang hospital. It's been a day since nalaman n'yang buntis siya at hindi n'ya pa iyon nasasabi sa asawa n'ya. She wants it to be a surprise kaya as long as she can, tinatago n'ya pa dito for good cause.But the reason why she will go to the hospital is para bisitahin si Matilda. Sumakit ang tiyan nito just an hour ago, from then wala na siyang balita kung ano ang sabi ng doktor dito at sa pinagbubuntis nito kaya pupunta siya. She wants to make sure that her friend is okay. Mary and Ali are already there too, they were with Matilda when her stomach ache kaya dali-dali nila itong dinala sa hospital.Nasa sasakyan na si Emily at nagmamaneho na. Anthony is on duty sa hospital ngayon, she called him multiple times but seems like he's busy. Ayaw mag-panic ni Emily but the sound of Mary and Ali earlier scares her, ang tunog ng mga ito ay para bang sobrang komplikado ng sitwasyon ni Matilda.bandang alas sais na ng gabi kaya medyo madilim na ang daan
EMILY is with her friends. Nasa restaurant sila ni Matilda and it's been two days since that war happened and ended. Medyo nawala na rin ang pasa n'ya pero tinakpan parin n'ya ng concealer para hindi makita ng mga kaibigan n'ya dahil walang alam ang mga ito sa ibang trabaho ng asawa n'ya."What? are you sure? Paano mo nasabing buntis ka?" Mary is so loud that she needed to shut her kasi baka marinig sila ng mga customers. Although it's kinda safe kasi wala ang mga jowa nila at wala din ang asawa n'ya doon. They're having their boys bonding."How can I not be sure eh parati kong hinahanap ang pagkaing luto no Anthony, parati akong kumakain specially chocolates and ice cream. May time din na nababahuan ako sa mga ibang pagkain kahit dati naman hindi. And most importantly, I keep on throwing up every morning." she said to them at pareho silang nag-takip ng baba pati na rin ang buntis nilang kaibigang na si Matilda."confirm, buntis." sabay turo sakanya ni Matilda nang maka recover na ito
"Are you pregnant?" hindi mapigilan ni Anthony ang excitement sa boses n'ya. Vomiting is a sign of pregnancy."No, I just ate this expired food yesterday. I didn't even know it was expired." she said at lumaylay ang balikat ni Anthony sa impormasyong iyon. Akala n'ya buntis na ang asawa.Nagmomog na ito ng baba at saka tumingin sakanya. "I'm sorry, I ruined your moment with your parents. I didn't even talk for how many minutes and I just listened to you guys pero umikot ang sikmura ko bigla kaya hindi ko na napigilan sumuka." anito pa at ngumiti lang si Anthony sa asawa."It's nothing, besides I have nothing else to say na rin naman sakanila. How long have you been listening to us talking?" tanong n'ya sa asawa at nag-isip pa muna ito."I don't know, but I think I've heard almost all the whole conversation. I woke up in the bed without you in it, hinanap kita sa buong bahay pero wala ka ang I saw your note sa dining table together with the breakfast that you cooked for me. When I read
