IF TRUTH BE told, sobrang kabado ako today. Actually, every time naman na pupunta kami sa doktor para magpa-check up sa kalagayan ni Deon at ng baby namin sa ospital nina Ross. Napapraning talaga ako kasi baka napaano na iyong baby namin, o baka may nararamdaman si Deon na hindi maganda pero hindi niya lang sinasabi sa akin dahil marahil natatakot siya o nahihiya. Hindi ko talaga alam basta kabado ako sa tuwing ginagawa namin ‘to.
Napatingin ako kay Deon nang abutin niya ang kaliwang kamay ko at hawakan. He was already lying on the hospital bed while the sonographer was preparing everything for the ultrasound.
“Ayos ka lang ba?” tanong niya.
Tumango naman ako bilang tugon. I then breathed to calm myself down.
“Ganito pala ‘yong feeling ng mga normal na tatay kapag sinasamahan nila ang mga partner nilang buntis. Gosh, nakakakaba na… nakaka-excite.”
Apart from being nervous, I was also

WE INFORMED MY whole family about it. Iyong sinabi lang namin ay alam na namin ang kasarian ni baby. They did not let me finish because they said na they wanted to know the baby’s sex in a reveal party. Yes, my family was planning a sex reveal party, and they were all coming to Abseiles over the weekend to celebrate with us.“Just prepare all the things we will be needing there already, sweetie. Malapit na kami. It’s only five minutes away before midnight. Lilitaw na rin iyong Grimm Express ilang sandali na lang,” mommy said through the video call.Sumingit naman si Mignonette sa video upang ngitian ako at kawayan. “Ate Gelou! Can I see my pamangkin?”Mommy and I both chuckled at that. Kung mayroong isa pang pinaka-excited sa paglabas ng baby namin bukod sa amin siyempre ni Deon, iyon ay paniguradong ang first-time little tita na si Mignonette. Ang cute-cute lang ng baby sister ko. Makurot nga siya nang bongga

IT HAD BEEN days since dad and I talked, but I am still bothered as hell because of it. Nahihirapan ako kasi hindi ko alam ang gagawin ko. I wanted to ask Chadleen about what happened to Tito Khalil and her mortal mother kaso ay natatakot ako sa kung anumang malalaman ko. Kung oo, gagawin ko rin ba at bibitiwan si Deon; kung hindi naman, handa na ba akong suwayin ang pamilya ko? Ang hirap; ang gulo. Hindi ko alam kung saan talaga ako dapat lumugar.“May napili ka na bang susuutin sa acquaintance party?”“Ha?” tanong ko naman pabalik nang matauhan.Pagbaling ko sa kanila ay agad kong nakasalubong ang nag-aalalang mga tingin nina Ross at Chadleen. I almost forgot that we were actually inside one of the malls owned by the Cavendish. Dito kami dinala ni Ross para sa last minute na pamimili at pagpapalit ng mga susuutin namin sa acquaintance party which will be held the next day.“May problema ba, Ge? You seemed p

KAHIT NA NATANONG ko na ay wala pa rin ni isa ang sumagot sa kanila. Binalot lang kaming lahat ng katahimikan. Napapikit ako sa inis. Medyo nauubos na talaga ang pasensya ko sa lahat at lalo na ngayong ganito ko pa dinatnan ang penthouse at si Deon. Delikado iyong kalagayan niya! Jusmiyo!“I said, what the fuck happened here?” madiing tanong ko pagdilat ko ng mga mata ko. “At saka bakit nandito kayong dalawa ni Felix?”Napairap naman si Ruby Lane bago ako sinagot. “He forced me to join him in coming here!”“Akala ko ba bawal ang mga mortal dito sa Abseiles?” asked Chadleen who was still not over her shock.Obvious namang hindi mortal si Felix base na rin sa nasaksihan naming lahat na nagawa niya kanina.“Hindi ako mortal. I’m an Inkheart,” seryosong giit pa nito. “I came from the beast kind who can make their tattoos alive.”“Hindi ikaw ang t

UMAGANG-UMAGA PA LANG pero sumasakit na ang ulo ko kina Chadleen at Felix. Ano bang nakain ng dalawang ito noon at kung magtalo ay parang hindi nagmahalan noon—char.Nasa kusina kaming tatlo ngayon kasi balak kong magluto ng almusal namin. Deon was still asleep, and I let him rest more. Kailangan niya iyon dahil dalawa na sila ng anak namin na kumukuha ng lakas mula sa kanya. It was still early in the morning yet Chadleen already looked sour at Felix’s present. Kaya wala akong ibang choice kundi ang magluto para sa aming apat. Nang matapos na akong magluto ng fried rice with hotdog and bacon ay balak kong dadagdagan iyon ng itlog. Nagtatanong lang ako kanina kung anong gusto nilang klase na luto ng itlog nila tapos nauwi na iyon sa pagtatalo.“How do you like your eggs cooked?” I asked them.“Anong klaseng itlog ba ang lulutuin mo para kay Deon, insan? Gano’n na lang din siguro ang sa akin para hindi ka na mah

AFTER TALKING WITH my parents through the phone about what happened to us and Deon and assuring them that we will be fine from now on, they let us go but still made us promise to continue the talk with them later on. Pumayag na lang ako para matapos na ang lahat at makapag-alsa balutan na kami saka punta sa isa pang Cavendish Suite na mas secure upang lumipat doon. Of course, everything was taken care of by the richest kid, Rosendo Stefan Cavendish.Hindi pa rin bumabalik sina Felix at Ruby Lane sa mundo ng mga mortal kaya tinulungan na lang nila kami sa paglilipat sa panibago naming penthouse. I am really praying that we will finally be safe here. We were not with Deon for 24/7, that was why I am still scared of what might come after him and our child.“Are you all ready to go?” asked Ross the moment I put down my phone.“Pwede ba tayong dumaan sa beach?” biglang tanong naman ni Deon.I quickly closed our distance

DESPITE OF EVERYTHING, our magic school life still continued. Ayoko sanang iwanan si Deon kaso ay hindi naman pwede iyon dahil kailangan ko pa ring pumasok at mag-aral upang matutong mag-magic at makuha ang wand ko. That way, I can also protect and save my pregnant partner and our child every time they need it.“Kinakabahan pa rin akong iwan ka,” I honestly told Deon.“Huwag ka nang mag-alala sa akin. Kaya ko na ang sarili ko saka nasa may bar lang naman si Felix. I can also and can always enlist his help when troubles come.”Right… Ruby Lane already left to return to the mortal world. Si Felix ay nagpaiwan pa rin dito at sa halip ay magtatrabaho na lamang pansamantala bilang isang bartender upang tulungan kami na bantayan at protektahan si Deon habang wala kami nina Chadleen at Ross dito. Nasa kabila lang din naman ang penthouse niya. Isang sigaw o katok lang namin ay nandito na agad siya. Pero duda ko talaga na b

I DID NOT feel any better the following days. Masakit na masama pa rin ang loob ko sa lahat ng mga nangyari at kapalpakan ko sa Institute of Magis. Kahit anong pilit at gustuhin kong maging mahusay sa pagma-magic ay hindi ko pa rin magawa-gawa iyon.“Ge, mamaya na ‘yan. Kumain ka naman muna, oh,” aya sa akin ni Deon pagkabalik niya ulit ng kwarto namin.Habang hawak-hawak pa rin ang ballpen ko ay napapikit ako sabay hilot ng sentido ko. “Third periodical na namin. Kailangan kong mag-focus. Gustong-gusto ko nang pumasa this time.”“Ge, naiintindihan naman kita. Pero sana ay huwag mo namang pabayaan ang kalusugan mo. Kailangan mo ring kumain. Mas marami kang maaalala at maiintindihan kung may laman ang tiya—”Nagdilat ako ng mga mata at pinukol siya ng tingin. Bakit ba hindi sila makaintindi? Bakit ba ang kulit? Gayong nagmamadali na nga ako nang ganito ay saka pa sila magiging ganito ka mapil

I MADE DEON share with me all of his hardships as a pregnant man. I made a deal with him. I will share mine if he will also do the same to me. Ang ending, we spent the rest of the evening listening to each other’s sentiments and secret struggles.Doon ko lang naintindihan kung ano ang kulang sa amin ni Deon simula pa lang noong kami pa. Yes, we loved each other; but love was not always enough, especially when you do not truly communicate with each other. Ito talaga ang nangyari sa amin ni Deon. We had secrets we want to keep and ulterior motives we did not want to speak about, so we did not completely and honestly communicate with each other. Nitong mga nakaraang araw at buwan ay ganoon din, but just with different reasons – we did not want to bother each other with our own troubles. We both felt like we needed to just solve it on our own and without involving another which was very wrong.“Aside sa magsuot ng medyas, ano pang mga gaw
