Chapter 3
Two Weeks ago…
Peter almost spit out the Beef Pares he’s eating when Alejandro suddenly spit the nonsense word he ever said.
Tinignan niya eto ng mariin. Nang hindi pa rin siya makonteno ay inabot niya ang leeg ng kaibigan para tignan kung sininat lang ba eto dahil sa biglaang pag ulan habang nag ga-ground breaking sila sa bagong ipapatayong orphanage.
“Wala ka naman lagnat.” Pete lifts his other hands to check his own temperature too.
“Kumakain naman tayo.” Aniya at tinuro ang Beef Pares na nasa harapan nila ngayon.
“Hoy, Alejandro. Ano ang sumapi sayo na espirito?” Sigaw ni Pete at napabagsak pa ng kamay sa mesa.
“Seryoso ako.”
“Yeah, yeah. Kagaya noong sinabi kong ayoko nang maging kaibigan mo.” Peter giggled habang pinagpatuloy ang pagkain ng Mami niya.
Pero matapos ang isang minuto at ngumunguya na siya ay parang natauhan siya sa huling sinabi ng kaibigan.
“Seryoso ako.” Inulit ni Peter ang kaniyang sinabi. “Are you f*****g serious?” muntikan na mabilaukan si Pete pero mabuti na lang at agad siya inabutan ni Alejandro ng tubig.
“I am, Pete.”
Napapikit si Peter sa narinig at parang nagsimulang bumalik pataas ang kinain niyang Beef Pares.
“Can you please say that again, Jan? I think I misunderstood.”
Alejandro sighed at napakamot ng batok.
“I want to have a baby.”
“Baby as in…?”
“Yes, Pete. A baby. A son or a daughter. I don’t care. I just want to have one.”
“Then we can pick up girls that you ca—”
“You know I won’t do that, Pete.”
“Everyone. Want. You. Alejandro. And it would be their honor if you f**k them and what— even plant a baby in their womb? She might saved the country on her past life, Jan.”
“I… I just… I just can’t f**k someone and plant—baby in their womb without having a marriage, Pete.”
Literally, Pete rolled his eyes. “Oh My God, Alejandro! What are you? In 90’s? there is no such thing or stigma in our country anymore!”He hissed and trying to lower down his voice because napatingin ang ibang customer sa loob sa kanila. “Plus… You are Governor. Honorable, Governor! People won’t look down at you because you f**k someone and impregnate them!”
“That is why I cannot just pick some woman and impregnate them. I am a Governor. Honorable Governor.”
Napahilamos ng mukha si Peter at napailing.“ But—let’s just not make a big deal on this okay? It was probably because napa tahan mo ang anak ni Abby last week kaya pumasok yan sa isip mo.
And it was you who said that having a family in this politics game is a casualty, Jan. Let’s not just make it a big deal now, okay? You reconsider it. Baka mag bago pa ang isip mo.”
But Alejandro knows he wants to have a baby.
If only he could just share via Bluetooth his sperm as long he didn’t touch the—oh!
“Surrogacy!”
“What?” bulalas ni Pete at tuluyan na niyang binagsak ang kutsura niya na ibig sabihin ay tuluyan na siya nawalan ng gana sa pagkain.
“Find someone that can be a surrogate mother.”
Nanlaki ang mata ng kaibigan at hindi makapaniwala. “Are you f*****g serious right now, Alejandro?! It will be a f*****g scandal!”
Randam na randam ni Alejandro ang gigil sa boses ni Peter. “A surrogacy seriously? You f*****g forgot that you have an article that says that you’re Gay?”
“I don’t see why I should get offended by that term. Gay is not an insult. And I am not.”
Napaface-palm si Peter sa sinabi ng kaibigan. “It’s not what I mean Alejandro. That is not the point.”
Pero sa halip na pansinin ang kaibigan ay tuluyan nang tumayo si Alejandro at binayaran sa counter ang kinain nilang dalawa ng kaibigan at pati na rin sa mga body guards at driver niya.
“Alejandro!” nakita niya na tumayo si Peter mula sa kinauupuan kaya agad na siyang nagtungo sa sasakyan niya.

“Finding a surrogate mother is easy but your request of that motherfucking standard really takes a lot of time, Jan. Kaya huwag kang mag reklamo diyan kasi wala kang karapatan.”
Pete is scrolling on his tablet with regards on the request of the governor. Meanwhile the honorable governor is playing candy crush on phone.
Nang mapansin ni Peter ang ginagawa ng kaibigan dahil magkatabi lang naman sila ng upuan at maingay ang Delicious at kung ano ano pang sound effect ng laro ay hindi niya mapigilang magpaikot ng mata sa inis. “Wow! Grabe! Nakakahiya naman po, Your Majesty! Daming arte, kala mo naman busy.”
“Whatever. Ngayon nga lang ako nakauwi ng maaga, dadaldalan mo pa. Sorry naman po, Inay.”
Sinamaan siya ng tingin ni Pete and he roll his eyes. “Putangina mo po! Honorable Governor Alejandro Jemenia the Third! Pero yung description niyo ng gustong maging surrogate mother ay lakas pong maka Dreame at w*****d. Ano yan? Paid stories?
Has a lot of baby hairs. Chinita. Mataas ang ilong. Ang cute ng mga pisnge. Makapal na labi. 24 or 25 years old. Tangina po. Nagsusulat ka po ba ng w*****d dreame stories? Ano pong username niyo? Magfo-follow lang po.”
“Kanina pa yung bunganga mo na minumura ako ah. Namumuro ka na Peteranyo Chang!”
“Eww eww. Sorry na sorry na. Ano pa ang kwenta ng pagpalit ko ng pangalan kung tatawagin mo pa rin ako ng ganyan.”
“Whatever. Heh!”
“Attitude tong hayop.”
“Ano ang sabi mo?”
“Wala po! Kako po, masyado ka naman pong perfect para magpahanap ng perfect na babae na kahit ako ay hindi ko maipinta sa isip ko kung ano ang mukh— POTANGINA??!”
Mabuti na lang ay naka seatbelt silang dalawa at kung hindi ay tumilapon na sila dahil sa biglaang pag preno ng driver nila.
“Tangina gusto mo bang mamatay—” hinablot ni Peter ang ear muffs ng driver nila pero namumuting nilingon lang siya nito.
“S-Sir… m-may n-nabangga po ata ako.”
“Ano?!” sabay nilang bulalas at nagkatinginan.
It is an exclusive valley owned by Family Jemenia kaya hindi nila maunaawan kung ano ang ibig sabihin ng driver na may nabangga siya.
Imposible rin naman na ang mga body guard ko ang mababanga kasi may kanyang kanya silang post sa kada lugar at alam na nila ang pasikot sikot ng hacienda burol.
They immediately unbuckle their seatbelt pero nang akmang lalabas din sana ng kotse si Alejandro ay pinigilan siya ng Peter.
“Stay here.”
It was Peter who went out of the car at wala pang isang minuto ay agad siyang kumatok sa bintana ng kotse. Alejandro putted it down at nakita niya ang nanlalaking mata ng kaibigan.
“You won’t f*****g believe this, Jan.”
He push the door to open it at agad na tumakbo papunta sa harap ng kotse nila and it was that moment when the coldness of his body went up that made him stiff and almost choked on his breath.
The perfect surrogate mother!
She’s beautiful lying on the ground and she is hissing but she is still beautiful.
He found it!
And she is breathing, so it is a success!
“Jan? Can you hear me?” there is a hand that waved in front of him seconds after his head went mentally blocked because of such visual of the girl lying in front of them.
“Yeah? Uh what? Sorry?”
“I asked, what are you going to do to her?”
“Huh? Going to do with her? Why?”
“What are you asking, Why?”
“What? Why?”
“Don’t tell me you don’t know her?”
Alejandro furrowed his eyebrow at napailing sa kaibigan. “What? Who is she? Do you know her?”
I think she’s the perfect surrogate mother of my children. Ba, Children talaga.
“Oh my God, Alejandro!” bulalas ni Peter at napahilamos ng mukha. “You seriously don’t know her?”
“Sabihin mo nga kasi… tanong ng tanong eh.”
“She…” he sighed. Alanganing napakamot siya ng ulo at napatingin ng diretso sa kaibigan.
“She is the only daughter of Santiago Lacson. The famous Samantha Lacson.”
“She what?!”
What the f**k?
