Chapter 12
One month passed and that was the last time that I saw Jonas. I tried not to show up in front of him. I don't to remember what he said that I did the first move that led to something. That was the least thing I would do! Men beg for me. I don't beg for heaven's sake!
He really thinks highly of himself, huh?
As I descended from thre stairs, I smelled an awful odor from the kitchen. I winced, fanning my nose to shoo away the bad odor.
"What are you cooking, Manang?" I asked our helper as I arrived at the kitchen.
"Adobong manok, hija. Why?"
"Why does it smell so bad?"
"Really? I put some ginger already."
"It makes me so sick, Manang. Please, change your menu."
"Your mother requested me to cook this."
"Nah," I waved my hand dismissively. "Please, Manang. Just change it already. I hate the smell."
"What do you want me to cook?"
"Anything. Just please not chicken."
I walked away. I can't endure the

Two red lines on the pregnancy test made my heart pound cruelly against my chest. The result told me I was positive. I was pregnant!My hands were shaking in fear. I don't want to believe my eyes. I don't want to believe that the results told me I was pregnant. I wasn't! This can't be!My menstruation was delayed for two months already. I never missed my period so it's quite questionable. It's my first time to experience this.A tear escaped from my eyes. My hands were shaking while putting the testing kit on the sink. I tried another test and it had the same result. There were two red lines.I picked up my phone and called Thrante. It took few rings before she picked up her phone."Thrante," I called out."Why? Is there something wrong?""W-Where are you? Are you home?""Yes, Etincelle. Is there something wrong? You sound troubled.""Uhh," I trailed off. "I-I have something to tell you.""Huh?" She sounded dread

The following morning I called Jonas to meet up with him. Thrante convinced me that I should tell Jonas about the baby. If he will accept the baby, that's good. If not, it's okay."Uhh, sorry I didn't clean up. I didn't expect your arrival," Jonas said shyly, rubbing his nape. "You told me you brought me some news?""Yes, Joe." I swallowed a chunk of fear. "Uhh..."His place suddenly became hot but cold sweat gleamed on my forehead. My heart never stopped beating so wild against my chest. Just like a lionness that wanted to escape from its cage."I'm listening," he said calmly."About what happened two months ago..."His throat moved. Shock flickered in his eyes. He probably didn't expect this. Neither did I.I walked past through him and roomed around. I stood few meters away from him."Y-You got me pregnant, Joe," I said directly even if I stuttered. I was anxious again I could not think straight. "I just want you to kn

"Thank you," I said as I got out of Jonas' car. I turned around, made few steps and then faced him again. "Take care.""Just tell me when to set the date to tell your parents about the baby," he said. I just nodded without a word. I was exhausted physically.I entered inside my house without waiting for Jonas to drive away. I proceeded upstairs and locked myself inside. I called Thrante as I sat on the edge my bed. I felt empty inside."How was the check up?" She asked me immediately as she answered my call."Confirmed, caz. I'm really pregnant," I said in a weary voice. "Jonas is the father of my baby.""What was his reaction? What did he say? Will he take full responsible of the baby?""I think so... he even offered me to live with him.""Really? And what was your decision?""I don't think that's a good idea, Thrantw. We're not even together.""Yeah, but he's the father of your child. He needs to see the it that

"Are you okay? You look pale, honey," Mommy remarked."Maybe I'm just tired, Mommy.""You finish your food already so you can rest after.""Yes, Mommy."I heaved a long sigh. I still can't bring up the topic about my pregnancy. This is killing me slowly.After we had our dinner, I went upstairs and washed up. I checked myself in the mirror and Mom was right. I looked pale. This is probably about my pregnancy.I heard my phone rang. I quickly finished up and looked after my phone. I found out Jonas was calling so I answered him."E," he called."What made you call?" I asked."Are you okay? Do you feel any pain right now?"It took me few seconds before I was able to answer him. I didn't expect that he will call just to ask me if I was okay."Uhh, I'm fine naman. How about you?""I'm good. I'm just... I'm thinking about your condition.""Mommy told me I look pale. I-I think she's right.""

It's still 11:45 in the morning when Jonas arrived outside the house. It freaked me out because Dad was still inside his room and Mommy hasn't come back yet."E," Jonas called when he saw me walking towards the gate and opened it for him."Uhh, you're early," I told him.He took it seriously when I said he should look formal because he will meet my Dad. Dad wasn't strict that much but he preferred a decent-looking man. For him, a man who could carry himself could bear a woman."Do I look presentable now?" He asked, looking at himself.His white polo shirt hugged his impressive chest that also complimented his bluish gray jeans. He has a black rectangular belt and he wore a white shoes."Yeah, you look good," I replied. "Let's go inside?""Are they here already?"I nodded. I forced a smile and turned away from him. I walked back inside the

After our talk, I walked Jonas out of the house. I made sure no one will suspect us that Jonas and I are just strangers to each other. I don't want them to know that Jonas only got me pregnant."Thank you for saving my ass earlier, Joe," I told Jonas. It was true. I was grateful he was there to save me.Jonas stood near his car."You sure you want to live with me?" He asked, eyes squinting."That was your initial decision, right?"He nodded. "I want you to live with me so I can watch over you.""I understand, Joe. Again, thank you for not disappointing me."He leaned against his car. He folded his arms and looked straight at me."What do you mean?" He asked. He needed to look up at me to level my eyes."When Dad asked you if what did you like about me. We didn't talk about that and I was quite surprised that you got the id

"Thank you, Manong," Jonas said politely as Manang Aki was done placing all my baggage inside Jonas' unit."You take care of her, okay? We love her so much. I don't want to know you make her cry," Manong told Jonas."I promise, Manong. I won't fail you."After that, Manong left. Manang Hanah, who was one of our helpers, took out all my things and placed them in the cabinet. She put them inside one of Jonas' rooms."I'll get you some water, E," Jonas stated and proceeded to the kitchen. I just watched him walking away.His condo unit was spacious. There was a second floor. Fresh and unisex were the motif. If Jonas wasn't the owner of this house, I can say his place is being occupied by a big family."Here," Jonas said as he went back to me and gave me a glass of water. "Do you need anything else?""I can do it, Joe. I'm a not a crippled woman," I reminded him.It was like he was brought back to his senses. I smiled at him and pr

But instead of going with him to the grocery store, I fell asleep on the sofa. When I woke up, I quickly went to the bathroom and weed. I felt nauseous but I didn't vomit. It only felt like my stomach was doing somersault or whatever it is."E?" I heard Jonas' voice outside the bathroom followed by a knock on the door."I'm here!" I shouted so he can hear me."You okay?"I gargled using the mouthwash here. I calmed myself down and washed up before I opened the door for Jonas.When I opened the door, Jonas' worried face welcomed me. I wiped my mouth using the small towel that I found here."Uhh, why?" I asked baffingly."Nothing, E. I-I just thought something happened to you. You look pale.""I feel nauseous, Joe. I feel like my whole stomach is riding in a roller coaster.""Have you thrown up already?"I shook my head. "I can't. I feel tired all of the sudden.""Come here," he carefully held my hand and gen
