Matt returned to his seat as if nothing extraordinary happened.
“What?” tanong niya sa sekretarya while returning his attention to the meeting.
“Boss, baka ayaw ni Miss G ng clingy,” Melissa tried to soften her voice pero hindi pa rin maiwasan marinig siya ng iba.
“The next time any man clings to you, Melissa, don’t let go,” Matt advised.
Sumimangot naman si Melissa sa narinig. She has been working for Matt for five years already at medyo nabibiro niya na ito minsan.
“Sir - Sir, cute naman po ang clingy up to a certain degree.” Hindi na napigil at sumabat na din ang isa sa mga Senior PM sa usapan.

“Sorry about that.” Pag-uulit ni Gabby sa sinasabi.

Binihisan na ni Gabby ang mga anak pagkatapos nilang mag-agahan. Not a shadow of Matt returned. Nabanggit naman ni Gabby na 9 AM ang usapan niya with the broker. They were leaving already.She wore faded blue jeans, and a plain light blue shirt at pinarisan lang ng rubber shoes. She wanted to be comfortable as she expected that it would be a whole day activity. Pinag shorts niya naman si Chico and a light blue shirt, pinagsuot niya ito ng cap. Naghanda din siya ng light blue na shirt para kay Mango but she insisted na gusto nitong isuot ang blue dress na pinilit nitong bilhin ni Matt when they went out. She hoped mauto niya pa yung mga anak niya talaga na magsuot ng mga terno. She scaled back already, just matching yung mga kulay ng mga suot nila.She looked at her phone one more time. Wala.

Lexie was heavily pregnant. Umiling siya dito at sinenyasan itong maupo lang. Gabby took the opportunity para mapalayo kay Matt. She went to Lexie at naupo sa tabi nito bringing Chico to sit on her lap.“Daddy, put me down.” pakiusap ni Mango at sumunod din sa ina.“Your tummy is biiiiig.” Mango said nang makalapit.

Nabigla pa si Gabby when she felt Matt’s hand grasp her hand pero agad din nitong binitawan when she lightly shook it off. Napapagitnaan nila ang kambal tulad nang kung paano sila maupo sa hapag when eating at home.“Buti nalang nagdadala si Matt ng mga pagkain when he visits me in Paris.” Jessica continued to say.

Hindi pa nakakalayo si Gabby nang bumukas ulit ang pinto ng office niya. Matt grabbed her at mahigpit na niyakap.“I’m okay. Naalala ko lang.” Gabby mumbled in between sobs.“You don’t have to hide your tears from me, Gab. You don’t have to bear everything on your own.”Mas lalong napaiyak si Gabby sa narinig.

Kanina pa nakatitig si Matt at his laptop. He was looking at the twins’ picture again. They were swaddled in blue and yellow blankets. There were no pictures of Gabby after the twins were born. I was sick. Matt kept recalling Gabby’s reply.Gusto niyang tanungin ito kahapon pero naramdaman niya ang pag-iwas nito.He looked at the pictures one more time. The progress from the first picture up to Gabby’s full term. Instead of gaining a few more pounds like how the other women seem to experience during their pregnancy, napansin niyang pumapayat ito.
