Lahat ng Kabanata ng One Week Stand: Kabanata 81 - Kabanata 90

Zandrey’s POVTW: Abuse, ViolenceI was almost running late for my next class. Naharang kasi ako nina Jed at Dominic. Nag-aayang makipag-group date. To avoid prolonging the conversation, I just agreed to go. There's no harm in it. Besides, I might benefit from it. In whichever way, I'm not sure.I passed by the Library since it was the closest route going to our building. But it was quite packed with students so I bumped into a girl."Are you okay? I'm so sorry," I quickly said. I helped her pick up her things that fell on the floor. When I looked up, I almost stopped.Man, she's beautiful. Sure, our university is huge and there's a lot of pretty girls around but this woman here... there's something different in her.But as much as I want to do a meet and greet, I can't. I'm already late."Okay lang," she replied."Sorry talaga, Miss," I said again as I gave her her books."It's really okay."I apologize once again before walking away.If only I was not running late...But then I was

Hindi agad nag-sink in sa utak ko na buntis nga ako. Matapos akong ihatid sa bahay at pagsaluhan ang mint ice cream na binili niya, doon lang totally na-digest ng utak ko na buntis nga ako.I am pregnant. Andrei’s going to have a sibling. Dad will have another grandchild. Daisy will have another niece or nephew.God, Daisy…I don’t know why but I suddenly felt guilty about getting pregnant unexpectedly. Alam kong sinusubukan pa rin nila ni Dominic pero hanggang ngayon ay walang nangyayari. I know it has just been months since she lost her baby and she should be okay now. Pero hindi ko alam kung bakit nagi-guilty akong buntis ulit ako. I don’t want her to think that the world is cruel or unfair to her.Or maybe this is just me overthinking things. I know she’ll be happy for me. Pero hindi ko talaga maiwasang mag-isip ng kung ano pa.Mag-isa akong nakahiga ngayon sa kama ko. Pinauwi ko na muna si Zandrey. He insisted on staying her tonight para samahan ako pero ako na iyong umayaw. He c

I’d like to think na pinaglilihian ko si Zandrey. I’m definitely not the clingy type but I have this feeling that I just want to see him all the time. Gusto kong lagi kong ramdam ang presensya niya. Gusto kong laging naririnig ang boses niya. Ewan ko ba. I’m getting used to this feeling of wanting him to be just around all the time.It has been two weeks since we knew about my pregnancy. Wala pa akong napagsasabihan, maging si Zandrey ay wala rin sinabihan. It’s just the two of us who know I’m carrying his child.We have already been to the OB-Gyne. Iyong kaba ko, sobra-sobra. I was reminded of the time I also went to the OB-Gyne when I was pregnant with Andrei and Andres. Sobra rin iyong kaba ko noon. But unlike now, I have someone I can hold when I’m trembling in fear. Before, I used to go to my appointments with Dad or Mommy Miranda. Pero iba pala iyong comfort kapag iyong ama ng bata ang kasama.The entire time I was being checked by the doctor, hawak-hawak ko ang kamay ni Zandrey

We weren't able to push through our plan of going to the beach after my birthday. 'Nong nalaman kong buntis ako, I told everyone we can't go because I was not feeling well. Buti na lang ay hindi nila kinuwestiyon iyon.Maybe we were bound to go one way or another. Kasi nag-set uli ng day si Daisy. Hindi na ako makatanggi kasi nakaka-guilty na ako iyong rason kung bakit hindi natuloy last time."Ay ito, bagay!" Daisy mumbled. Inilapit niya sa akin iyong hanger na may nakalagay na two piece. Napangiwi ako nang makita iyon.We're currently at the mall, buying stuff for our beach getaway na gaganapin na talaga this weekend. Gusto sana ni Daisy na mamili ng mga susuotin pati na rin ng ilan pang gamit na kakailanganin."Ayoko niyan," I said."Bagay naman sa 'yo," sabi niya. Nakasimangot siya nang ibalik iyon. "Ano bang gusto mo?""Wala," I mumbled. Tinatamad talaga ako ngayon. Ayoko nga sanang sumama kasi una, it's a weekday at may pasok pa bukas. Pangalawa, ayaw ko talagang gumalaw. I feel

Zandrey should know because he's a doctor. I wanted to ask him, pero inunahan ako ng hiya. Kahit naman papaano ay nakakaramdam ako ng hiya.I saw him walk towards me. Karga-karga na niya si Andrei na agad nagpakarga sa kanya pagkarating niya. Kung ano-ano iyong sinasabi ng bata sa kanya, pero iyong tingin niya ay nasa akin.He has that usual smile on his face. Para siyang walang problema, parang walang iniisip. He's always glowing. Akala mo hindi stressful ang trabaho niya o wala halos tulog. He's busy with his job and does not have much time for himself, but he still manages to smile like that.He radiates so much positivity, and I just realized how much I needed someone like him in my life. I feel like we compliment well. Kahit naman noong kakakilala pa lang namin, we already clicked. I know he's a good person and has a good personality. Ako lang ata iyong medyo may kasamaan sa budhi.That's why we compliment well."Hi," nakangiti niyang bati sa akin nang tuluyan nang makalapit. The
