Sugar Baby (Cougar Series #53)

“Menopause? I’m just 39 years old, Lyn. Paanong nag-mi-menopause na ako?”

Gusto pa niya magka-anak. Pangarap niya rin naman talaga iyon. Tapos ngayon ay nalaman niya na nasa menopausal stage na siya?.

Hindi siya makapaniwala. Natutulala na lang siya at hindi alam ang sasabihin.

“Hindi na ba talaga ako magkaka-baby?” tanong niya.

“Nasa early stage ka. So may chance pa rin kung gugustuhin mong magka-baby na. Base dito sa test na ginawa ko is tinignan ko ang ovaries mo at makikita mo kung ilan pa ang active eggs na mayroon ka. Egg freezing might be an option if you're not ready to become pregnant now, but to make sure you can get pregnant in the future. In your case this is very advisable specially you don’t have a partner, and you are now menopausing. Eggs harvested from your ovaries will be frozen unfertilized and stored for later use. So kapag gusto mo na at may partner ka na, your frozen egg can be thawed, combined with your partner's sperm in a lab and implanted in your uterus via vitro fertilization.”

“Doc, paano kung combination? like plano kong mag conceive ng early pero gusto ko rin na i-freeze ang egg ko. Pwede ba ‘yon?”

“Much better.”

Sa sinabing iyon ng doctor ay mas naka-isip siya ng paraan. Mukhang kailangan niyang mag-double time at lumandi na agad sa lalong madaling panahon.

This time, sinisigurado niya na may lalaki na talagang mananatili sa buhay niya.

Sugar, when she was thirty and single, she believed she had plenty of time to find a partner, and to have children. But now that she's at the other side of her thirties and time is running out … how can she have the baby she has dreamed of if she doesn't have the partner to fulfill it?.

After 10 years of working in New York, Sugar decided to go back to the Philippines to visit her family. Few days after her arrival, she experienced pain in her lower abdomen so she decided to visit an OB GYN clinic. She was then diagnosed with premature ovarian insufficiency or she’s in her early menopausal stage.

As her menopause approaches, it can be more difficult to get pregnant naturally. So she decided to freeze her egg, and save it for the future until she finds the man of her dreams. But just only few days after the extraction she met Alex.

She is the Architect, and he is her client.

One project turns into days of affair between the two of them. Her desire grew stronger each passing day. Although their relationship at first is purely lustful, with time, Sugar finds herself falling in love with Alex. But she found out that Alex was 10 years younger than her.
