The Way I Loved You [COMPLETED]

Chapter 39

"P-pero...may pasok ako ngayon sa school."

Dahan-dahang ibinaba ni Calren ang kamay sa binti ko. He made gentle movements there. Napakagat ako sa labi ko. I thought he's had enough for today.

"I'll call your cooperating- teacher and your department head. You'll come with me, just for today." He whispered in my ear. I slowly nodded.

Nakarinig kami ng mga katok mula sa pintuan namin. I can't attend it because I'm naked. I looked at him at sinenyasan syang buksan ang pintuan. He sighed at napairap. I chuckled to his reaction.

Bumangon sya at nagsuot ng damit. Nilukob ko ang sarili ng makapal na kumot.

"Where is she? Is she okay? Grover called me." Salita ni Tita Hillary mula sa sala. The bedroom door was open at nang ilabas ko ang ulo ko ay nandoon na sya sa pintuan. Bitbit ang mga lata ng malalaking gatas na para sa mga nagbubuntis.

"Hi, Ija. How are you feeling?" Malambing na saad nya at lumapit saakin. Pinanatili kong balutin ng kumot ang hanggang leeg ko. Tumango ako.

"I brought all your supplements and milk for your pregnancy." Bulong nya at luminga sa bandang pintuan. Calren's already leaning in the door with a grin on his face.

"Tita, she's fine. Anyway, what are those?" Nginuso ni Calren ang bitbit ni Tita Hillary. She tightened her grip to the paper bag at ngumiti.

"Oh, this is just a small gift for Taffy. Mga vitamins and stuffs." She said wavering her hand.

"Tita, alam na po nya." Mahinang bulong ko. Her lips formed an 'O' at tinignan si Calren. Nilapag nya ang bitbit sa maliit na table at nilapitan si Calren. She hugged him.

"I'm so happy for you, son. Tita is so proud."

Ngumiti saakin si Calren. Tumango ako sakanya at niyakap nya pabalik si Tita Hillary. Nang humiwalay sya ay agad na hinawakan ang pisngi nito.

"You promise me you'll be a good Dad, okay? I can't believe you're now all grown up at bubuo na ng pamilya. You we're so young back then in the states. Tahimik ka lang palagi but I knew you're a good kid. Hay naku, tumatanda na ako at ikaw pa talaga ang unang magbibigay saakin ng apo. Samantalang si Hillton, puro lamang sakit sa ulo ang ibinibigay saakin dahil wala pang pinapakilalang girl. I might arrange him a date these days." Saad nito kay Calren. She tapped his shoulder at tumingin saakin. Kumunot ang noo nya saakin.

"Why's she's like that? Is she sick?" Akmang lalapit sya saakin at medyo nabahala ako. Pinigilan sya ni Calren sa braso. Pinanlakihan ko si Calren ng mata.

"Tita, she's- " Pigil nya kay Tita Hillary.

"Oh, why?"

Nagtinginan kaming dalawa ni Tita Hillary at napapikit ako. Her lips formed an 'O' again. Lumapit sya ulit kay Calren at hinampas ang braso nito.

"Ikaw na bata ka. Dahan dahanin mo naman! She's still recovering from yesterday." Ani nya at tinawanan lang sya ni Calren.

"Opo, Tita. I'm sorry."

"Hay naku. O, sya. Calren you shouldn't worry too much because all of these are normal in pregnancy. Ija, I have made an appointment for you to the best doctor I know. Bukas yon ha? I'll text you the details. Kayong dalawa, wag kayo puro order order lang ng pagkain. Calren, maybe you two should go back home, she needs someone to be with when you're working. Delya's there to help you take care of her." Ani nya.

"Thank you po." I said. She smiled.

"We'll do that after the summit. Thank you, Tita." Si Calren 'yon.

"Anything for you both. Oh sige na, aalis na ako. I have scheduled gala pa ngayon with amigas before the summit. Calren mamaya ha?"

"Pupunta po kami." Ani ni Calren.
