One Night, One Baby

Chapter Two

Chapter Two: "Tell him I'm the one who b***h slapped him."

Another week have passed by in a blur. I already visited an Ob and I'm three weeks far. It's been 17 days since that night of pure stupidness and fiery passion. I don't regret the baby, neither that night of passion. What I regret is not using protection. I feel so stupid for forgetting one little thing.

I have told my dada about my current situation and 'mad' is an understatement to define his reactions. He was beyond mad, he is f*****g furious at me. For being reckless and stupid. Umiyak din siya. He said he was a failure as a father for not giving me advices about s*x and early pregnancy. I was so upset with myself that night. Hindi ko lang pina-iyak si dada, I disappointed him also. And that's what hurts me more than seeing him cry.

I'm partially relief when dada decided not to tell daddy about my situation for a while. I know I'm only delaying my agony and yet I know in myself that I needed to stall the situation from daddy's knowledge. He will be f*****g furious when he finds out, that I am sure of, but I needed time to think...

"Anak, drink your milk na. Do you feel nauseous ba ulit? Hungry? Tell me, anak."

Napatingin ako kay dada na umupo sa gilid ng kama ko. He caressed my hair and I suddenly felt like crying again. Dada forgave me for my recklessness and is now giving me his hundred percent support. Pero kahit na ganun nagui-guilty pa din ako. Hindi naman sila nagkulang sa paalala e. Sayang naging mapusok lang ako. I didn't use the smart brain I have when I needed it most. Mas pinagana ko ang instinct. And now I am in this situation.

"Dada I'm so sorry. I'm such a disappointment. I know you're mad and yet you're here with me. Taking good care of me. I'm sorry talaga. Sorry..."

Tears fell down from my eyes. Napaiyak na naman ako at si dada ay inaalo muli ako. Whispering words of comfort and telling me how much he loves me despite of what happened. Ni hindi ko namalayan na nakatulog na pala ako dahil sa sobrang pag-iyak.

"You've been gone for a week, b***h. Where did you go? Na-devirginize ka lang e hindi ka na pumasok bigla."

May halong panunuksong sabi ni Baekchan sa akin. Hindi ako nakakibo sa kanya. I remained silent as he continuously blab things that I missed during my MIA period. He only stop when noticed me staring blankly ahead.

"Oh my... Gee! Don't tell me..."

Napatingin ako sa gulat na expression ng mukha niya. He looks so funny. Wide eyes and open mouth. I shrugged my shoulders to confirm his hunches. Pero dapat siguro at hindi ko na lang ginawa iyon...

"Holy f**k!? For real?! Like s**t?! Oh my f*****g f**k! s**t, s**t, s**t! You are?"

He looks comical. From shocked to more shocked... I can't help but laugh at his face. There were tears in my eyes after I'm done laughing at him. Siya naman ay parang hindi pa rin makapaniwala. Nakanganga pa din siya hanggang ngayon. Sana pasukan ng langaw yung mouth niya.

"Anong... sabi nila Uncle Kyungsoo at Uncle Jongin?"

I looked at him and shrugged again.

"Dada was angry at me. He said I was stupid and reckless and then he blamed himself for not telling me more advices about sex... and pregnancy. Tapos umiyak siya and then I cried too. It was a day full of tears. Hindi pa alam ni daddy."

Mataman na nakikinig si Baekchan sa akin. I smiled weakly at him. Alam ko na naman na nag-aalala siya sa kalagayan ko. Kahit naman may pagka-stupid siya e bestfriend ko pa rin siya. We've been bestfriends since our diaper days. He was the brother I had from a different set of parents.

"If uncle Jongin finds out he will surely raise hell. What about the father?"

I stared at him.

"That's really the reason why I came here to meet you... I need your help, Baek."

Bumaba kami ni Baek sa tapat ng isang malaking building. The building where that asshole who forgot to wear condom lives. He paid the cab and we went inside the building. Actually, hindi ko alam kung paano ko mahahanap yung asshole na yun. I don't know his name and I forgot the number of his unit.

"Wow. He's rich."

That asshole is definitely rich. Kasi ba naman sobrang mayayaman lang ang nakakakuha ng unit sa building na to. Jaded Maurice Inc. owns this building.

"Paano natin siya mahahanap? Do you know his name?"

Tanong ni Baek habang sinusundan ako papasok. Lumapit ako sa front desk. I saw the same girl whom I saw the night that I had s*x with that asshole. She's the girl whom that asshole talked to. I cleared my throat which caught her attention.

"Hi sir. Welcome Jaded Maurice. How can I help you?"

Nakangiti nitong bati. I offered her a slight smile. I looked into her name tag and saw her name. Jessica Jung...

"Do you not remember me, miss?"

Kumunot ang noo nito na parang nagtataka sa tanong ko. s**t, ang hirap naman nito. How can I find that asshole if I don't know his name? Dapat pala inalam ko.

"Sir?"

I cleared my throat again.

"I hope you remember me. Ako yung kasama nung gwapong lalaki na kumausap sayo 18 nights ago. I was the drunk one. Tapos kasama ko naman yung hot na lalaki. Yung tanned skin man."

She looked at me as if I've grown two heads. f**k this! Maybe she can't remember me! Ugh. I was about to tell her some more details when suddenly she said,

"Oh, are you referring to Mr Kwon Kai?"

I bit my lip and nodded my head. Kahit na hindi ako sigurado ay bahala na. Mas mabuti na yung kahit papaano ay may makuha akong impormasyon kesa naman wala.

Jessica smiled at me and told me that Kwon Kai is staying at the penthouse. Sa pagkakatanda ko hindi kami sa penthouse nagsex pero hindi ko na lang iyon sinabi.

"I'll call Mr Kai to inform about your visit, sir. May code kasi kapag pupunta kayong penthouse. Please wait a moment."

Tumango ako at tinignan si Baekchan na busy sa cellphone niya. Nakakunot ang noo nito na parang may nabasang hindi maganda. I was about to ask him about it but Jessica asked for my name.

"Kim Dyongin. Tell him I'm the one who bitchslapped him."

I can clearly see amusement swimming in her eyes as she nods her head. And then she talked to the other line again repeating what I have said. After a minute she puts down the phone and smiled brightly at me.

"You can head upstairs, sir."

Inabot nito ang isang maliit na papel na may number na 8-8-1-2. That must be the code for the penthouse. Tumango ako at nagpasalamat. Pagkatapos ay hinatak ko na si Baekchan papunta sa elevator.

Nakarating na kami sa tuktok kaya naman itinype ko na yung code. The door tinged and opened and I gasped hard...

"Hi babe. Nice to see you again."

Hindi na ako nakahuma dahil bigla-bigla niya akong hinatak at siniil ng halik. He devoured my mouth as if it's his last meal. I was gasping for air when he broke out kiss. I covered my mouth using the back of my head as I glared at him. Ni hindi ko na namalayan na si Baekchan at pinapanood kami.

"What the f**k is that kiss for, asshole?"

Galit na asik ko sa kanya. How dare he kissed me like that? Ang kapal talaga ng apog nitong lalaki na to. Ngumisi Lang ito kahit na ako ay bugnot na bugnot na sa itsura niya.

"Welcome kiss, babe. After you left me that morning I felt so lonely. So lost. I think the slap you gave me turned me on more."

I blushed red upon hearing him say creepy things. Perv pala tong walanghiya na to. Gusto ko ulit siyang sampalin. Ugh

"Oh, you've brought a friend. Hi cutie, what's your name?"

He offered his right hand to Baekchan. Pero bago pa tanggapin iyon ni Baek ay hinampas ko na yung bag na hawak ko sa mukha nitong asshole na to. Halatang nagulat si Baek dahil bigla siyang napasinghap. I spared him a look while telling him to wait for me on the lobby. Tumango naman ito at tinignan saglit si asshole bago pumasok ulit sa elevator.

"I didn't know you were that possessive. Parang nakikipag-friends Lang ako sa friend mo e."

Tumawa pa ito na parang tuwang-tuwa sa paghampas na ginawa ko sa mukha niya. Is this guy a masochist? Gustong-gustong nasasaktan e.

"Shut up. I'm not possessive of you. As if. I came here for a reason."

I told him, glaring at him fiercely. Sana yung mga mata ko nakakamatay para patay na tong isang to. Ngumisi lang muli ito at iminuwestra na pumasok ako sa loob.

My jaw literally dropped when I saw the interior of his penthouse. s**t. This guy is seriously rich to be able to afford this kind of luxury. He motioned for me to seat on his leather couch in which I followed and asked me if I wanted anything. I shook my head as a response.

"So, for what reason do I owe this sudden visit, babe?"

Eto na... I need to tell this guy the consequence of what we did. The result of our recklessness and stupidness. I gulped the invisible lump stuck inside my throat and looked away from him.

"I'm... pregnant."

I muttered quietly. Sa sobrang hina nung magsabi ko ay alam kong hindi niya ako narinig.

"Ha? I didn't hear you, babe. Pwede pakilakasan?"

Kinagat ko ang labi ko at tinignan siya.

"Ang sabi ko buntis ako, asshole. Unfortunately, ikaw ang ama."

He was speechless for a moment until his eyes went wide and his dropped open.

"I'm pregnant, Kai. You're the father. And I want you to take responsibility of it."

I laid down on my bed. I'm so tired. This has been a long and tiring day for me. I even forgot to eat lunch and dinner because of what I did today. I know it's unhealthy for the baby but I just can't find my appetite.

Narinig ko ang pagkatok sa pinto ng kwarto. I told the person on the other side of the door to come in. It was dada with a tray of food. Napaupo tuloy ako mula sa pagkakahiga.

"I know you didn't eat lunch and you haven't eat dinner yet. Sinabi ni Baek sa akin. Pinuntahan niyo daw yung daddy ni baby. You need to eat, anak. It's bad skipping meals."

Kagat-kagat ko ang aking labi at tumango. Ngumiti naman sa akin si dada. I know he wants to ask what happened between me and the asshole but he didn't say anything. Pinakain niya lang ako at pinainom nung gatas pati na rin nung mga vitamins ko. After nun ay iniwanan na niya ako para magpahinga.

"I'm pregnant, Kai. You're the father. And I want you to take responsibility of it."

He stared at me for a minute before he bursted into fits of laughter. I only stared at him as he laugh his heart out. Sana malagutan siya nang hininga habang tumatawa. When he was done laughing he looked at me said,

"Are you high, babe?"

I felt so mad at him. That was the last straw of patience I have. Tumayo na ako at sinuntok ang mukha niya.

"You asshole! Sana nga naka-drugs lang ako. Unfortunately, I'm not. I'm clean and not high. At uulitin ko lang ang sinabi ko, buntis ako at ikaw ang ama. My father is Kim Kyungsoo, the first Korean man who gave birth. He was the one who carried me in his stomach for nine months. Sadly, I inherited his ability to carry a child inside my body. At mas nakakalungkot na dahil sa katangahan mo at hindi pagsusuoot ng condom ay nabuntis mo ako."

He was gaping at me like I'm some kind of monster. I don't care. Basta kailangan niya akong panagutan. I don't want my baby to grow out of wedlock. He needs to marry me and give his name to our baby.

"Now, wether you like it or not, you have to marry me. I don't want my child to grow out of wedlock. I want a complete family for my baby and you're going to give it to me. Since it was your sperm who popped my egg and made me pregnant."

Nakatingin lang siya sa akin. He must be shock upon hearing what I have said. Namumutla na din ito. I smirked at him.

"Don't try to hide Kwon Kai. I will surely haunt you down if you do. I don't care if you're shock or scared or whatever. What I do know is that you have to marry sooner rather than later. I don't want to wear a gown sporting a huge belly. We have to marry asap."

I left him there astounded and flabbergasted.
