You Got Me Pregnant

Chapter 4

Pagkagising ko, hindi ko maintindihan kung bakit sobrang sakit ng ulo at katawan ko. Napaigik ako sa biglaang pagbangon ko. Nanaginip kasi ako, meron daw akong nakilalang lalaki and we made love. For pete’s sake, I don’t even have a boyfriend how came na mayroon akong kaindayog? That dream was weird! Kasalanan to ni Mikee e, nabahiran na ba talaga ako ng kahalayan ng bruhang ‘yon?

I decided to get up to go to the bathroom without minding na nahulog na ang kumot sa sahig dahil lilinisin din naman ng katulong namin.

"You love exposing your back, aren't you?" Dahil sa boses na narinig, bigla akong lumingon at kitang kita ko na may lalaking nakangiti at nakahiga sa kama kung saan ako galing. Hindi ko mapigilang mapamura nang napansing hindi ito ang kwarto ko.

Nalipat ang tingin ko sakanya na puno ng takot. Thinking why am I with him, instead of Mikee?! "Who a-are you?!" I furiously asked.

“Who are you?!” I shouted at him dahil hindi man lang siya nagsasalita. Kahit masakit ang katawan ko, dinampot ko ang vase na malapit sa akin, tiyaka ko ito binato sa kanya ng wala pa din akong makuhang sagot.

“Woah! Relax, woman! Is that your way of appreciating my effort that I took you home at pleased you all night?” Dahil sa sagot niya ay mas lalo akong nainis.

“What?! Oh, come on! Who told you to take me here?!” Tumawa lang siya. “What?!”

"Nothing. I’m just loving the view." Tinignan ko kung saan siya nakatingin then everything went so disgusting. Napasigaw ako sa hiya at kung bakit ako nakahubad. Dinampot kong muli ang kumot, at tinakpan ang sarili sa kahihiyan tiyaka ko siya minura nang minura. 

"Oh, honey, we already did. Thank you last night. You’re so good”.

"Wha-at did you say?" Nanghihina kong tanong.

"We already f**k last night,” and he flashed his smile.

"Pardon?" I astounded. Bakit wala akong maalala? "I said we already have s*x. Happy? Baka gusto mo pang ulitin?" He asked me while grinning.

"How come?! I don't even know you!"

"s**t! Please, tell me!" Habang pinagpapalo ko siya at naiiyak na sa nalaman ko.

"Oops, not my face!"

"Why did you take advantage of me?!"

"Ouch! He-hey!"

"Get out!" while pointing to the door.

"Mukhang nakakalimutan mong nasa condo kita?" Taas kilay niyang tanong.

"I said get out!"

"Fine! Fix yourself and let us have breakfast." Tumayo siya sa kama at wala kahiya-hiyang ibalandra ang walang saplot niyang katawan. Napatili ako sa gulat, pero narinig ko lang ang malutong niyang tawa.

"Sus, pakipot ka pa. Natikman mo na nga."

"Leave!" Namumula kong sabi because it was my first time seeing and being with a man who is naked. Kahit naiiyak, nagmamadali kong inayos ang sarili ko at umalis ng hindi niya nalalaman.

I heard my phone ringing, dali-dali ko itong sinagot nang si Mikee ang tumatawag. “Gosh, Miesha! Where are you? You are scheduled to fir the gown. Anong oras na?” Sa sobrang takot at gulat ko sa nangyari sa akin, hindi ko napigilang maiyak nang marinig ko ang boses ni Mikee.

"Bes...*sniff sniff*."

"Miesha?! Gosh, are you crying?! Where are you?!" Nag-aalalang tanong niya. Natural, never in his entire life he sees nor hears me crying. He knows that I am a tough woman. He knows I can handle the problem smiling. He knows everything about me but not his time.

"Bes~." I'm still crying. Hindi ko alam gagawin ko, I gave in.

"Gosh! Wag mo kong bes besin jan asan ka?!"

"I-I don't kno-ow."

"What?! You don’t know where you are?! "

"Bes*sniff. * Help me. Pleaseee~"

"Okay. Calm down, okay? Describe the place, and I am going to fetch you right now!"

"I am in a condomini-"

"What?! A condominium?! Did a guy bring you there?!"

 "Let me f-"

“Miesha, are you!" He angrily said.

"Ple-"

"Miesha!"

"Calm down, okay?! I am here near a condominium in front of 7 eleven along Romulo Highway. So now, please fetch me." Tsaka ko binabaan ng phone.

After 15 minutes Mikee had arrived.  He walked towards me and hugged me tightly, hindi ko na rin napigilang umiyak. Niyakap ko siya ng mahigpit. Because of that hang out nawala sakin ang pinakaiingatan ko.

"Shhh. Stop crying Dang, yang uhog mo. Please lang nadidikit sa damit ko." Sinapak ko nga. Umiiyak na nga ang tao nagagawa pang magbiro.

He opened the door for me, pagkaupong-pagkaupo niya palang sa driver seat pinaulanan niya na ko ng tanong. "What happened to you? Alam mo bang hinanap pa kita sa buong bar kagabi?! Di kita mahagilap at nang itanong kita sa mga kasama natin, ang sabi umalis ka na daw kaya di na ako nag-alala! Where did you go?"  He asked me.

"Oy! Magsalita ka jan! Wag mo kong tinataasan ng kilay jan baka ahitin ko yan!" Napasimangot naman ako. Alam ko namang di niya ko tatantanan e. Might as well ikwento ko na.

"Whaat?!” Tinakpan ko ang tenga ko sa sobrang lakas ng sigaw niya. Sinundan pa ito ng mga sasakyang nasa likod namin dahil bigla siyang nagpreno.

"Hoy! Pwede ba kung magpapakamatay ka wag mo kong idamay!" Sigaw ko saknya.

"Hoy ka rin! Wag mong iniiba ang usapan!" Napahinga nalang ako ng malalim. "Be—"

"Stop!" He said.

"Mik-"

"I said stop! Tama na! Tumahimik ka! Agtalna ka! (Ilocano) Ustu ya! (Tsabakano) o baka di mo pa maintindihan", asar na asar talaga siya.

Nang mahismasmasan siya, “Did you just give your purity to a stranger? What have you done?"

"Yes, and I was drunk that time, okay?!" I cannot control my anger as well.

"Bes, alam mo naman diba? Whenever we drink, we always put into our minds that we should be responsible in every action we make?"

"Then what now? You’re not virgin anymore.  Ano nalang ipagmamalaki mo sa pakakasalanan mo? " Tanong niya. Ito kasi ‘yung pangako ko dati sa sarili ko, that I will preserve myself hanggang sa dalhin ako ng lalaking mamahalin ko sa altar ng simbahan.

"Kung mahal niya ko tatanggapin niya ko." Hindi niya na napigilang paluin ang steering wheel. Nakakatakot talaga siya. Kahit pusong babae siya, iniingatan niya ko dahil ako nalang ang meron siya. His family casted him off because they discovered that he is gay, and they cannot accept it.

"Bes, dun na tayo e. Kahit sabihin mo na tatanggapin ka niya you can never change the fact that he can never have the chance to savor your purity because you gave it to someone else”. Maarteng litanya niya at muli na naman akong napaiyak. Tama naman siya e, binigay ko ang sarili ko sa isang taong hindi ko kilala. I don't even know his name.

"Come on. We're here now. Fix yourself." He said without minding opening the door for me.
