Chapter 8.1
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

I can't contain my emotions now. I felt like Madison is brainwashing me."Hindi totoo 'yan!" I shouted. I made a fist. I'm running out of patience here.I need to think rationally. May punto naman si Madison at hindi pwedeng sarili ko lang ang isipin ko. I'm also aware that I need to inform Zach about our child. Our baby. To my ears, it's like music."What's happening here?" biglang sabi ni Irene at lakad-takbo ang ginawa para makalapit sa akin.She obstructed my view and turned to face Madison."Huwag kang manggulo rito,Madison," she said."Hindi ako nanggugulo. I just gave an advice to your beloved friend," Madison answered calmly. Parang hindi niya inubos ang pasensya ko,ah."Mind your own business. May sarili ka namang buhay,iyan ang atupagin mo." Hinila na ako ni Irene palabas ng hospital. Hindi na niya ako binigyan pa ng pagkakataon na sumagot pa kay Madison.

I've been sitting at the front desk, contemplating. I'm not sure what I'm thinking. My mind is bouncing around like a Ping-Pong ball, bouncing from thoughts about Zach to thoughts about how I will hide Matthew from him. Nakita na niya kami at alam kong kahit saan kami pumunta, hahanapin niya kami. After all, I haven't told him that Matthew is our son, which he desperately wants to know.In my back pocket, my phone buzzes. I roll over and pull it out before falling back onto my back. It's a call from an unknown number. I pause before answering because I rarely talk on the phone. I much prefer texting after five years. I turn back after swiping my finger across the screen. I realize I'm still in my office hours, but I'm intrigued by this caller.“Hello?”"Wait for me, I'm coming to your workplace," the man on the other end of the line said. That's impossible!I ended the phone call without

I get very depressed about the direction of my life. Is it possible that I'm making the right choices? Is this fair to Zach? in relation to Matthew? in front of myself? Certainly not. I get down on myself and second-guess my decisions after I've already made them. I suppose I should be more courageous in facing the consequences of these events."Buti at dumating ka pa. Akala ko hindi ka na papasok." As soon as I walked into the hotel, Ma'am Dahlia approached me. Ano na naman kaya ang dala nitong bad news?"My emergency lang po, Ma'am." White lie. Matagal lang talaga akong nagising dahil hindi kaagad ako nakatulog pagkauwi."Reason. Anyway, go to Miss Lou's office, there's some good news for you," she smirked.This is starting to look suspicious. I went straight to Lou's office. Masama ang pakiramdam ko dito,ah!Before opening the door, I knocked. Lou's unhappy demeanor greeted me

Mabilis ang aking hakbang paakyat sa opisina ni Zach. It's almost eight in the morning,late na ako. Paano kasi, wala ang nanny ni Matthew kaya kinailangan ko siyang ihatid sa school. My baby is in preschool and he looks forward to going to school every day, ayaw mag-absent."You're late." Bungad ni Zach sa akin. He's standing in front of my desk, both hands on his hips. Nakakunot pa ang kilay at parang hindi maganda ang gising.Ikaw nga kahapon hindi na bumalik galing sa date mo."I'm sorry, Sir," I said, "I did some important things.""How critical is it for you to be late?" Wow.Ayokong makipagtalo. Nakakaubos ng laway umagang-umaga. Kahit hindi naman dapat ay magpapaliwanag na lang ako."My baby's nanny is away, so I sent him to school," I said stiffly. Tama yan, magulat ka!"How... how is he?" Zach asked.&nbs

Camara's POVAnother day to survive this thing called 'life.' I was surprised by Zach and Matthew's bonding yesterday. Nakita ko kung gaano kasaya si Zach na nakasama niya ang baby ko. When Zach told Matthew na siya ang papa nito, kita ko kung paano nagliwanag ang mukha ng anak ko. I know he wants to meet his biological father. After all, my child has a right. But, in my opinion, it is completely incorrect. It's too much to ask Zach to be the father of my child. I knew I had done a lot of damage to Zach. I don't want to cause him any more pain. Another disadvantage."I'll fetch Matt later," Zach said.He's standing in front of my table while I am arranging the papers he need to sign. Ang dami na nito, inuna kasi ang date, eh!"Huwag na,"sagot ko at binigyan lamang siya nang tipid na sulyap."Why? Pinagbabawalan mo na ba akong lapitan si Matthew?" tanong nito sa akin. Hindi ako makatingin sa kanya. Ano ba dapat kong irason? Magsisinung

My morning was the same as it always was: one unpredictable person and one annoying woman who came in almost every day at the same time."Susunduin ko si Matt," sabi ni Zach pagkarating niya agad dito galing sa meeting.Hindi pa nawawala ang disappointment ko nang sabihin niya kahapon na hindi niya masusundo ang anak ko. Inuna kasi niya ang birthday celebration ni Madison. I don't have a say on that because we're not together but I can't help to feel jealous and hurt. I didn’t like the uncertainty of him."Baka may importante kang lakad today. Double check your schedule... Sir," habol na tawag ko sa kanya ng "Sir." Ayokong magtunog nagtatampo. Sana naman hindi.Tinitigan niya akong maigi na para bang naghihintay pa nang kasunod kung mga sasabihin."Susunduin ko siya," he said with finality and went inside his office.Hinayaan ko nalang si Zach at

Naalimpungatan ako sa boses ni Nana Belinda na talaga namang nagpagising sa akin. Anong oras na ba? Inaantok pa ako. It's already 2 in the midnight nang matapos kaming magchikahan ni Lou kagabi."Gumising na, Camara. PTA Meeting ngayon!" sigaw ni Nana sa may pintuan ng aking kwarto.Tama. PTA Meeting ngayon at kailangan ko- PTA Meeting ngayon! Napabalikwas ako nang bangon at tiningnan ang oras. 7:40 na. Lagot. Sinabi ko pa kay Zach na bawal ma-late tapos ako pala.Wala na akong sinayang na oras at pumasok na sa banyo. 1-2-3 ang ligo ko,bahala na. Wala namang aamoy sa akin doon. Pagkatapos kong maligo ay nagmadali rin akong mamili nga susuotin. Off shoulder royal blue dress. Hindi naman siya revealing dahil hanggang siko ang sleeves. Okay nato. Pretty pa rin. It goes well with my black 2-inch sandals. Mommy na mommy ang datingan ko ngayon, ah.Tumakbo kaagad ako pababa pagkatapos kong magbihis. It's already 8 na when I took a glance at my cellphone. I also

"Sir Levine, these are the documents you requested."Ito ang naabutan ko sa harapan ng aking table, Zach with the genius-like guy. He's a trainee ayon na rin sa klase ng ID na meron ito.Agad kaming nilingon ni Zach at pagkatanggap niya ng mga documents na binigay ng lalaki. I can say that they are very well prepared for the meeting."Good morning, little boy," Zach said ng nakalapit at hinalikan sa pisngi ang baby ko."Good morning, Cara," bati rin niya sa akin at hinalikan ako sa pisngi na labis kong ikinagulat. My cheeks definitely flushed. Matthew, on the other hand, laughs."G-good morning," utal na bati ko rito. Kasi naman!"The meeting will start any moment from now. Come," he said."Pero si Matt..." pigil ko rito sa akma nitong pagpunta sa meeting room."Pwede siya sa loob."Wala na akong nagawa pa ng kargahin niya si Matthew at nagtuloy-tuloy sa paglalakad papasok sa meeting room.
