re zero if pride

Ako si Anne Villar Tambalos, 25 years old. May nobyo ako for 3 years at may balak na kaming magpakasal. Sya si Conrad Lim, galing sa mayamang angkan sa Bohol. Akala ko ay ito na ang lalaking para sa akin pero hindi pala.  Nahuli ko itong nagmu-mukbang sa talaba ng ibang babae. Labis akong nasaktan dahil dalawang buwan na lang ay kasal namin.  Lahat sama ng loob ay sinabi ko sa'kin ina. Kaya agad akong pinayuhan na mag-move on ako, dahil hindi lang ito lalake sa mundo.  Kahit masakit ay kinailangan kong mag-move on sa kabiguan ng pag-ibig.  Isang araw niyaya nila akong mag-bar upang mabawasan ang sakit na aking nararamdaman. Agad akong sumama dahil naroon naman si Celyn kaya walang dapat ipag-alala.  Hindi ko alam naparami ang nainom namin. Kaya nagawa kong makipag-siping sa isang estrangherong lalake.  "Congratulations, you're 1 week pregnant!" parang bombang sumabog na aking pandinig. Hindi ko akalain magbubunga pala ang isang gabing pinagsaluhan namin estrangherong lalake. Dahil sa takot nagtago ako dala-dala ang aming anak sa aking sinapupunan at umalis patungo sa Maynila kasama ang aking kaibigan.  Masaya sana dahil natakasan ko ang dalawang lalaking naging malaking parte pagbabago sa buhay ko. Pero ang ama aking anak ay syang magiging Boss ko pala. Dahilan upang magkunwari ako na hindi ko ito kilala o nakita man lang.  Siya si Dixon Stanley Floyd, multi- billionaire. Hanggang umeksena ang kanyang ina at pinagbintangan ako ng isang bagay na hindi ginawa. Hindi man lang kasi ako pinagtanggol ni Dixon sa kanyang ina.  Hanggang niluwal ko ang anak namin, na sya namang muling pagpapakita ng aking ex. Humingi ito ng tawad sa kanyang ginawa noong nagtaksil ito sa'kin. Nais itong tumayong ama sa'king anak.  "Hihintayin ko ang sagot mo, babalik ako bukas. Kaya pag-isipan mo ang aking sinabi!" saad nito, saka tuluyang umalis.

Kaso nang makita ni Conrad ang anak niya, di maipagkakaila na parang pinagbiyak na bunga ang dalawa. At ang masaklap pa nito, ang bata mismo ang umamin sa lalaki. "You're my dad right? Mama has many photos of you together and told me a lot of stories about you!" Connor screamed in excitement. Napaawang si Conrad at di makapaniwala sa natuklasan!

'Teka lang?' Are you sure that's really 'teka lang?" Napayuko na lang siya dahil sa pagalit na natanong ng lalaki. Halatang napipikon na sa kaniya. Inilapit pa nito ang mukha sa kaniya para iparamdam sa kaniya ang inis nito at nagsalita, "Remember, I paid a hefty 10.5 million at the auction just to purchase you. You wouldn't have even set foot in that auction if you hadn't given your consent. So now that you're under my ownership, don't think you can fool me with your usual 'teka lang, sir' tactics kasi kabisado ko na 'yan."

Ano naman ang alam niya sa English kasi tulog naman siya lagi sa subject na iyon noong nag-aaral pa siya. Para naman huminahon ito, nagsalita na lang siya. "Ahm...wag ka na magalit sir, maghuhugas lang naman ako. Ayaw mo naman ng mabaho, diba?"
