He really thinks highly of himself, huh?
As I descended from thre stairs, I smelled an awful odor from the kitchen. I winced, fanning my nose to shoo away the bad odor.
"What are you cooking, Manang?" I asked our helper as I arrived at the kitchen.
"Adobong manok, hija. Why?"
"Why does it smell so bad?"
"Really? I put some ginger already."
"It makes me so sick, Manang. Please, change your menu."
"Your mother requested me to cook this."
"Nah," I waved my hand dismissively. "Please, Manang. Just change it already. I hate the smell."
"What do you want me to cook?"
"Anything. Just please not chicken."
I walked away. I can't endure the

Two red lines on the pregnancy test made my heart pound cruelly against my chest. The result told me I was positive. I was pregnant!My hands were shaking in fear. I don't want to believe my eyes. I don't want to believe that the results told me I was pregnant. I wasn't! This can't be!My menstruation was delayed for two months already. I never missed my period so it's quite questionable. It's my first time to experience this.A tear escaped from my eyes. My hands were shaking while putting the testing kit on the sink. I tried another test and it had the same result. There were two red lines.I picked up my phone and called Thrante. It took few rings before she picked up her phone."Thrante," I called out."Why? Is there something wrong?""W-Where are you? Are you home?""Yes, Etincelle. Is there something wrong? You sound troubled.""Uhh," I trailed off. "I-I have something to tell you.""Huh?" She sounded dread

The following morning I called Jonas to meet up with him. Thrante convinced me that I should tell Jonas about the baby. If he will accept the baby, that's good. If not, it's okay."Uhh, sorry I didn't clean up. I didn't expect your arrival," Jonas said shyly, rubbing his nape. "You told me you brought me some news?""Yes, Joe." I swallowed a chunk of fear. "Uhh..."His place suddenly became hot but cold sweat gleamed on my forehead. My heart never stopped beating so wild against my chest. Just like a lionness that wanted to escape from its cage."I'm listening," he said calmly."About what happened two months ago..."His throat moved. Shock flickered in his eyes. He probably didn't expect this. Neither did I.I walked past through him and roomed around. I stood few meters away from him."Y-You got me pregnant, Joe," I said directly even if I stuttered. I was anxious again I could not think straight. "I just want you to kn

"Thank you," I said as I got out of Jonas' car. I turned around, made few steps and then faced him again. "Take care.""Just tell me when to set the date to tell your parents about the baby," he said. I just nodded without a word. I was exhausted physically.I entered inside my house without waiting for Jonas to drive away. I proceeded upstairs and locked myself inside. I called Thrante as I sat on the edge my bed. I felt empty inside."How was the check up?" She asked me immediately as she answered my call."Confirmed, caz. I'm really pregnant," I said in a weary voice. "Jonas is the father of my baby.""What was his reaction? What did he say? Will he take full responsible of the baby?""I think so... he even offered me to live with him.""Really? And what was your decision?""I don't think that's a good idea, Thrantw. We're not even together.""Yeah, but he's the father of your child. He needs to see the it that

"Are you okay? You look pale, honey," Mommy remarked."Maybe I'm just tired, Mommy.""You finish your food already so you can rest after.""Yes, Mommy."I heaved a long sigh. I still can't bring up the topic about my pregnancy. This is killing me slowly.After we had our dinner, I went upstairs and washed up. I checked myself in the mirror and Mom was right. I looked pale. This is probably about my pregnancy.I heard my phone rang. I quickly finished up and looked after my phone. I found out Jonas was calling so I answered him."E," he called."What made you call?" I asked."Are you okay? Do you feel any pain right now?"It took me few seconds before I was able to answer him. I didn't expect that he will call just to ask me if I was okay."Uhh, I'm fine naman. How about you?""I'm good. I'm just... I'm thinking about your condition.""Mommy told me I look pale. I-I think she's right.""

It's still 11:45 in the morning when Jonas arrived outside the house. It freaked me out because Dad was still inside his room and Mommy hasn't come back yet."E," Jonas called when he saw me walking towards the gate and opened it for him."Uhh, you're early," I told him.He took it seriously when I said he should look formal because he will meet my Dad. Dad wasn't strict that much but he preferred a decent-looking man. For him, a man who could carry himself could bear a woman."Do I look presentable now?" He asked, looking at himself.His white polo shirt hugged his impressive chest that also complimented his bluish gray jeans. He has a black rectangular belt and he wore a white shoes."Yeah, you look good," I replied. "Let's go inside?""Are they here already?"I nodded. I forced a smile and turned away from him. I walked back inside the

After our talk, I walked Jonas out of the house. I made sure no one will suspect us that Jonas and I are just strangers to each other. I don't want them to know that Jonas only got me pregnant."Thank you for saving my ass earlier, Joe," I told Jonas. It was true. I was grateful he was there to save me.Jonas stood near his car."You sure you want to live with me?" He asked, eyes squinting."That was your initial decision, right?"He nodded. "I want you to live with me so I can watch over you.""I understand, Joe. Again, thank you for not disappointing me."He leaned against his car. He folded his arms and looked straight at me."What do you mean?" He asked. He needed to look up at me to level my eyes."When Dad asked you if what did you like about me. We didn't talk about that and I was quite surprised that you got the id

"Thank you, Manong," Jonas said politely as Manang Aki was done placing all my baggage inside Jonas' unit."You take care of her, okay? We love her so much. I don't want to know you make her cry," Manong told Jonas."I promise, Manong. I won't fail you."After that, Manong left. Manang Hanah, who was one of our helpers, took out all my things and placed them in the cabinet. She put them inside one of Jonas' rooms."I'll get you some water, E," Jonas stated and proceeded to the kitchen. I just watched him walking away.His condo unit was spacious. There was a second floor. Fresh and unisex were the motif. If Jonas wasn't the owner of this house, I can say his place is being occupied by a big family."Here," Jonas said as he went back to me and gave me a glass of water. "Do you need anything else?""I can do it, Joe. I'm a not a crippled woman," I reminded him.It was like he was brought back to his senses. I smiled at him and pr

But instead of going with him to the grocery store, I fell asleep on the sofa. When I woke up, I quickly went to the bathroom and weed. I felt nauseous but I didn't vomit. It only felt like my stomach was doing somersault or whatever it is."E?" I heard Jonas' voice outside the bathroom followed by a knock on the door."I'm here!" I shouted so he can hear me."You okay?"I gargled using the mouthwash here. I calmed myself down and washed up before I opened the door for Jonas.When I opened the door, Jonas' worried face welcomed me. I wiped my mouth using the small towel that I found here."Uhh, why?" I asked baffingly."Nothing, E. I-I just thought something happened to you. You look pale.""I feel nauseous, Joe. I feel like my whole stomach is riding in a roller coaster.""Have you thrown up already?"I shook my head. "I can't. I feel tired all of the sudden.""Come here," he carefully held my hand and gen

Someone knocked on the door, stopping our moment. I heard a little voice and that's when I realized we left Uno downstairs."Mama?" He called.Jonas and I looked at eacher. We both laughed upon realizing Uno was outside the room. I pulled away from him and marched the way out. I opened the door for Uno."Mama, what's taking you so long?" He asked innocently."Sorry, Uno. I almost forgot you.""Can we sleep now, Mama?""We haven't taken our dinner yet, Uno. Are you sleepy already?""Yes, Mama. Can I sleep beside you and Papa?"I glanced at Jonas. He nodded. I turned to Uno again."Of course, Uno. Mama will just change, okay?""Okay, Mama. Please hurry up."I chuckled. "Sure, Uno."I changed my clothes quickly. After that, I lied next to my little family."Mama," Uno called. He was between me and Jonas."Yes, Uno?""I don't have siblings, Mama?""You want one?""Uh-hu

"I'm home!" I declared excitedly and went inside the house. I looked after Jonas and Uno. I saw them both in the living room while studying. Jonas was teaching his son to read.Uno looked up at me and smiled widely. "Mama!" He called and ran towards me. I lowered my hips so he could reach me."I miss you, baby!" I kissed his cheek."Look, Mama! Papa teaches me how to read!""Oh, that's nice, Uno."I rose to my feet. Jonas welcomed me and kissed me on my cheek as well.I decided to give Jonas another chance to be part of our lives and to give myself another chance to be his partner. Now, we were happy again. Uno was happy to be with his father."Hi, love," I greeted."Are you hungry?""Not much, love. Have you eaten already?""Yup. Before we study.""Okay. I'll just go upstairs to change my clothes.""Can I join?""Huh?"He chuckled. "Alright. You go up now.""Wanna come with me?"

"How are you?" He asked me the moment he started driving."I'm fine. How about you?" I casually answered and asked him the same question."I'm all good. Kinda busy.""Same. Tomorrow we will start the renovation of our restaurant.""I heard that from Baste. You hired Thrante to be your engineer.""You heard it right. Yet, this is a business deal and money is involved."""Our restaurant", what do you mean?""Vince is with me, Joe. We're partners.""Vince what?" He glanced at me."Vince Vega. You know him?""Yeah... the chef?""Yes," I confirmed.Silence followed. I glanced outside the window, wondering where he was taking me."Where are we going?" I asked, roaming my eyes outside the car."Anywhere."I peered at his side, "W

We bid our goodbyes to each other after that. Thrante went home to Taguig while I went home to where I originally lived. When I arrived inside the house, I saw Uno singing his ABCD. I went to him and hugged him."How's your study, Uno?" I asked and knelt in front of him.Mommy started tutoring him at the age of three. I reasoned our Uno was still so young to start learning but she insisted. She argued I was three years old when I first learned the ABCD. She believed Uno was smart he could learn easily."I'm fine, Mama. ABCD is fun!" He smiled widely, revealing his complete teeth."Really?" I mirrored his smile because it was contagious. "Can I have a kiss?"He hugged my neck, "Muah!" He planted a long kiss on my cheeks. "Let's eat, Mama!"I pulled away, holding both of his arms."What do you want me to cook?""Pasta! Yehey!"

"We can start the renovation tomorrow," Thrante told me as she checked my blueprint."Thank you, Engineer Marcado," I smiled to her."Congratulations," she shook her hand with mine.After four years of studying culinary arts, finally I had the time to renovate our property here in Manila. Mommy gave this to me as her gift while Dad gave me a brand new car."Coffee after this?" I offered."Sure!" She agreed happily.We went to our favorite coffee shop—not the usual coffee shop where my friends and I went. Thrante and I had our own favorite coffee shop."So, how's life lately?" She started, grinning happily. We already ordered our coffee."I'm so excited to this new restaurant, caz. Like I can't believe this is actually happening!" I clapped in excitement.Eversince I started schooling, I had dreamt this day to happen. I did my best in school and now I finally finished it. And not just that, I would be having a resta

When the call ended, I hoped things would get better for both of us. I sighed heavily as I felt lonely. I missed him in my arms.The truth was, I didn't like this set up. I could not hug him. I could not feel him on my skin. We had a schedule of our talk and we often times talked about Lola Helena. That became the cycle of our lives.But for him I would endure this feeling of wanting him to stay by my side. I knew he was struggling too. He surely didn't like this set up. I had to adjust and understand because he too had needs but he was holding back himself. He endured the loneliness and pain.I brought down my phone on the bedside table. I crawled on bed and lied next to Uno. He now slept next to me so that whenever he would wake up, I didn't need to get up and get him. It would be easy for me to breastfeed him if he would sleep next to me.The following morning, I woke up when I heard a loud bang on the

I went home and saw Jonas standing near the window of our room. He was holding a mug, probably it was his favorite coffee."Love?" I called and walked inside. He spun around and looked straight at me. He gave me a small smile after. "I'm home."He brought down his mug on the bedside table and spread his arms wide. I did the same thing and let him engulf me around his arms."I miss you," I whispered.I clung my arms around his neck and placed the side of my face on his chest. He smelled like a blooming flower in the garden. Favorite fabcon niya 'yong luxe perfume.His chest moved as he breathed sharply, his body tensed. I tucked my head just below his chin and glided my body against his."Love, you know that I am here for you. You don't have to solo your battles," I told him.I knew it was strange for him to open up his heart to someone. He lived h

Manang told me to go upstairs already. She will be the one to finish cleaning the sink. I should be resting now and be with my little family.I was careful not to create any unnecessart noise. I silently opened the door and peaked inside. I saw Jonas and Uno sleeping peacefully on our bed. I smiled and locked the door.I watched them two. It was peaceful to see them like that. My heart was happy.When Uno turned eight months, I trained him to walk. He could stand up on his own but he needed something to hold on to."Come to Mama, Uno!" I played with him.The edge of the sofa was supporting his back. His arms were spread wide, trying to balance while learning how to walk too. He could stand but he was afraid to step forward."You can do it, baby! Come on!"I clapped my hands. He giggled and lost his balance. I was quick to catch him."Come!" I encouraged him.Everyday I was practicing him to walk. I reached out to him his

"I'm planning to study abroad, Mommy. What do you think?"I wanted to consider studying abroad where I could learn a lot. I was thinking of France since I loved its culture."That's good, honey. It will be better if you will study abroad.""I'll take Uno with me.""What about Jonas? Do you think he will permit you?""I... don't know," I shrugged.I hadn't discussed this to Jonas yet. What I knew was he would support my decision to study culinary arts."It's only four years, Ma. By that time, Uno will be four years also.""You have to discuss this to Jonas first, honey. I don't have any problem if you really want to study abroad. You can take Uno with you but think about Jonas too.""Then I will take him with us, Mommy.""For four years?""He will take care of Uno while I am busy studying.""Where will you get your source of income? If Jonas will stop working, what will happen to Uno?"I
