All Chapters of The Unplanned Life: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

“I think he’s coming,” I said, sounding hysterical.   Hindi ko maipaliwanag ang nararamdaman ko. Sobrang sakit ng aking tiyan at balakang, hindi ako mapakali. Natakot ako bigla.   “No way.” sambit ni Tita Fely. She couldn’t believe it; the baby wasn’t due for another two months.   “Let’s go na po, ahhhhh!” I shouted as I barely could stand the pain.   Namalayan ko na lang na dumating na ang ambulansya na tinawagan ni Tita. Dali dali akong pinahiga sa stretcher at pinasok sa car ambulance hanggang sa marating namin ang pinakamalapit na hospital.   We arrived at the hospital in time. We were lucky; only one room was available. Room 7. No one has used the room in over a year. It was sterile, clean and it was for me.   Pinahiga nila ako sa kama. Bakas sa mukha ko ang pamimilipit sa sakit. Para akong papanawan ng ulirat. Natatakot ako para sa baby ko. Hind

"Yogurt, orange juice, milk…" I said happily here at the grocery store. Why I`m happy? Ang lakas kasi ng stereo nila at gusto ko rin ang kanta.   Days has passed since I last saw Zachary. Pinipilit ko siyang alisin sa isip ko kahit na mahirap. Ayoko nang masaktan at makasakit pa. Kaya hangga't maaari, iiwasan ko talaga siya.     I’m busy roving my eyes around the meat section. Someone’s cart abruptly collided with mine. Tiningnan ko kung sino at halos gusto kong magsalita ng mga masasamang words.   Tita Fely, my loving stepmom. Ano ba ito? Hinahabol yata ako ng mga tao sa nakaraan, ah!   “Kay liit naman ng mundo at nagkita pa tayo?” she looks annoyed while saying those line.   Hindi ako nakapag-salita at nakatitig lamang ako ay Tita. Bakas sa itsura nito na wala siyang problema sa buhay. Ang ganda ng aura. Iba!   “Are you mute or deaf?” she asked

Secrets start a chain reaction of lies that eventually come back to haunt you. You become so accustomed to lying that you begin to believe it. I realized that I could no longer keep my secrets. To myself, as well.   Agad kong binawi ang tingin kay Zach at nilingon si Matthew para patahanin ito.   “Baby, stop crying na. Mama is here, walang aaway sa iyo” malumanay na sabi ko rito at pinupunasan pa rin ang pisngi nito.   He just nodded in response so I just hugged him while caressing his back.   Ano naman kaya ang ginawa ng Zach na iyon at umiyak ang baby ko?! For sure, he just made a face to my baby. Noon pa man, ang hilig nitong magpa-iyak ng bata.   Kahit inis ako sa ginawa ni Zach, nakakaramdam pa rin ako ng kaba ngayon.   Galit na pinaghalong kaba. Nice tandem.   Tatanda talaga ako ng maaga rito. Alam ko na iniisip na niya ngayon kung

I'm in our house's Relaxation Room, tidying up and rearranging my books while waiting for Irene dahil meron daw siyang ibabalita sa akin.   The debate competition took place two weeks ago. I already moved on pero naiirita ako kapag naaalala si engineering guy.   "I'm heeeree," Irene exclaims, her face brighter than it has been in months.   "Ano ang balita mo at sobrang saya mo ngayon?"   "Ihanda mo ang sarili mo, sigurado ako na matutuwa ka rito,"she said   "Ano nga?"I asked curiously   "Diba galing ako sa school kasi may meeting. I heard from the teachers na nag-uusap. There`s a research contest next month." Ang daming sinabi. Pabitin ka po?   "Oh tapos?" I asked   Irene looked at me with a suspicious smile. Now, I think this is a bad news. Alam ko ito eh. Ganitong-ganito ang itsura niya kapag merong hindi magandang

When Zach entered the picture, everything in my life changed. We are happy in our two-year relationship, which is still going strong. It was truly magical and a roller coaster ride. We had disagreements at times, but we eventually came to terms. Just like what happened last week. "Hey, baby. I'm really sorry. I -" I cut Zach's sentence before he could finish."What? Nalimutan mo ako?" sabi ko rito."No. It's just that Madison extended the meeting. Hindi ko rin namalayan ang oras at eight o'clock na pala," Zach explained. His face is full of sincerity. Halata rin sa boses nya ang guilty at pagod. Naiintindihan ko naman. It's already ten in the evening at heto kami sa sala namin at parehong nakatayo, trying to fix things. Pero ang pagkapikon at pride ko ay hindi ko yata kayang ibaba. Since Zach and I were together, I've been able to express and feel emotions that I didn't think I was capable of. "I waited for
