Amethyst can still clearly remembered what happened last night inside Aiden's car, they just had a mind blowing s*x inside his car enjoying each other's company. The thought of that is making her hot and hungry for more. Ang kanyang kaibigan na si Lea ay kanina pa siya pinag mamasdan, she's been thinking what or who would make Amethyst Montefalco blush.
"Should I go now?" She sarcastically said snapping her fingers on her face. "Did you ask me here for nothing?"
Amethyst rolled her eyes, she snickered and touch her cheek. Ramdam niya ang init sa kanyang pisngi. Agad niyang kinuha ang cellphone ng tumunog ito, Aiden just texted her saying that he's already in the hospital. Thinking of her hot handsome doctor boyfriend makes her proud, but of course they need to hide it. Maipag mamalaki din nila ang relasyon nila sa buong mundo.
"Seriously?" Mataray na wika ni Lea. "Do you already have a boyfriend?"
Kahit na kaibigan niya si Lea ay hindi niya sinabi ang lihim na relasyon nila ni Aiden, they had been careful not to get caught and after so many years they succeed.
"Meron pero di ko sasabihin kung sino." Wika niya.
Lea rolled her eyes and take a sip to her frappe.
"Wala din naman akong balak alamin." Mataray na wika nito. "Anyways, are you coming to our reunion this Saturday?"
Her forehead crease, anong reunion naman ang sinasabi nito? Wala siyang maalala na may appointment siya about doon.
"Hindi mo nanaman alam? College reunion natin sa Sabado after three years."
Tila natauhan naman si Amethyst at napasapo sa ulo, of course bakit niya nga ba nakalimutan iyon, Aiden even said it to her last night before they sleep.
"Oo nga pala," She said. "Pupunta kaba?"
"Malamang, lahat naman pupunta!"
She felt sad all of the sudden, paano ba naman alam na niyang hindi makakarating si Moon after graduation Moon decided to go to France for his family business tapos noon ay nawalan na sila ng communication sa isa't-isa Moon is her bestfriend, since First year college ay ang binata na ang kasama niya.
"You are thinking about Moon?" Wika ni Lea at sumimsim ng Frappe. "Me too, we've lost in touch after the graduation."
She pout and nodded Moon has always been a good friend to her,
"Anyways, pupunta ako. After all it's once in a while."
"Yup, nga pala pupunta ba kapatid mo?"
"Sila Silver? Ewan ko baka busy sila eh."
"Ganoon ba? How about Aiden and Emerald?"
Mentioning Aiden as her brother makes her mad, pero wala siyang karapatan na magalit. Their relationship has been hidden and it will remain hidden.
"I don't know, dapat ba alam ko?" Inis niyang wika.
"Abat! Bakit ka nag tataray?" Nakataas kilay na wika ni Lea. "Nag away nanaman kayo ni Emerald?"
"No! Basta hindi ko alam hayaan mo sila malaki na sila!" She said avoiding the topic. She then took a mouthful of blueberry cheese cake in her mouth.
"Whatever."
After meeting with her friend she went back to work and focus herself on it. Gusto niya na maagang matapos ang trabaho dahil may lakad siya sa Sabado she wants to finish it before Friday to prepare, it was late when she finished she took her phone and check it. A smile crossed on her lips when she saw Aiden's text messages saying that he's busy all day long and how he misses her.
"I miss you too..." Bulong niya sa hangin bago kinuha ang bag at lumabas ng pinto. Wala ng tao sa opisina it was almost eleven her stomach is grumbling so she decided to eat on a fast food chain.
Inilabas niya ang susi at diretsyong nag lakad patungo sa sasakyan she hop in and drove away ilang minuto lang ang tinagal ng byahe niya bago narating ang puntahan, she ordered foods and immediately drove away to the hospital where Aiden is currently working.
"Good evening ma'am Amethyst." Bati sa kanya ng guard. Ngumiti naman siya dito at inabot ang isang kape. "Ayy nako salamat ma'am."
"You're welcome." She said before walking past through him.
Nag mamadali niyang tinungo ang opisina ni Aiden, and when she entered a chuckled escaped from her lips. Aiden is sleeping peacefully on the couch, kita niya ang pagod sa mukha nito pero guwapo parin tignan. She slowly walk towards the couch and carefully place the food on the table bago siya dahan dahang nahiga sa tabi nito, the couch is spacious enough for two people sa pagod ay hindi man lang nagising ang binata ng mahiga siya sa tabi nito.
"Gwapo ng boyfriend ko." She said tracing Aiden's perfectly pointed nose to his perfectly sculpted lips. Napatawa na lang siya ng marinig ang mahina nitong pag hilik but that smile turn into sad one. "I wish I can show the world how much I love you..."
But she can't she needs to accept it, the fact that their relationship is forbidden.

"Himala at umuwi ka Ate? Akala namin sa office kana titira eh," wika ni Kaye na nakapatong pa talaga ang paa sa center table kaya't tinapik niya ang paa nito.
"Where is Mama?" She said.
"Umalis sila ni Daddy, kakaalis lang din." Sagot nito. "Here, nakuha ko kanina sa mail box."
Amethyst forehead crease but she took the envelope that has her name on it.
"Kanino galing?" Taka niyang tanong. Agad niyang binuksan ang envelope at inilabas ang laman nito mas lalong nangunot ang nuo niya ng makakita ng isang liham sa loob.
See you in two days.
That is just a simple plain letter kaya't wala siyang ideya kung sino ito. Hindi na niya iyo pinansin pa at tumuloy sa kanyang silid she yawned then stretch her body tinungo niya ang banyo upang maligo she made herself relaxed letting the water flow on her body. After taking a quick bath she sat infront of her vanity mirror combing her hair.
"Ma'am Amethyst?" A loud knock distracted her.
"Yes?" She said continued combing her hair.
"Kakain na daw po sabi ng mga kapatid niyo." Balik sagot nito.
"I'll be there in a minute." She said finishing what she's doing, isinuot niya ang tsinelas na pambahay bago lumabas at bumaba.
"Kain na ate." Wika ni Steel na nag sisimula ng kumain.
"Ano yan?" She said sniffing on the food that is infront of her. "Manang panis ba to? Bakit ang baho?"
Agad naman na nag katinginan ang dalawa niyang nakababatang kapatid.
"Nako ma'am bagong luto po lahat ng iyan." She said making her more upset.
"So sinasabi mong wala akong pang amoy?" Mataray niyang wila that makes everyone around her bewildered.
"H-hindi naman po sa ganoon ma'am." Wika nito.
"Nevermind, just take it away iluto mo na lang ako ng carbonara."
"Ate kainin mo na lang itong mga nakahanda." Wika ni Steel.
"Please just make me some." She said annoyed covering her nose. "Ang baho talaga!"
Hindi na lang kumibo ang dalawa at nag patuloy na kumain. After dinner she decided to go to her room to rest, bigla kasi siyang nahilo at naduwal sa hindi niya malamang kadahilanan. She felt her stomach upset so she run to the bathroom to throw up.
"Oh god..." She whispered wiping her mouth, tinignan niya ang sarili sa salamin. She sighed and gurgled before stepping out of the bathroom, pagod ang kanyang katawan at umiikot ang kanyang paningin so she immediately lay on the bed to sleep. Morning came ngunit hindi niya magawang bumangon but she needs to because their is a company meeting that she needs to attend. Kaya't kahit tamad na tamad ay tumungo siya sa banyo upang maligo ngunit nauwi siya sa pag duwal.
"The hell!" She hissed wiping her mouth but something struck her mind that made her numb. "N-no..."
"Ma'am Amethyst?" Her secretary said but it seems like she's not on her usual self. "Ma'am?"
Agad na kumurap kurap ang kanyang mga mata at tumingin sa mga taong kaharap, she immediately sit up straight clearing her throat she can't think straight.
"Yes?"
"The sales in France is getting low, you need to have an urgent meeting with the marketing department in no time."
She sighed and massage her temple. Tumango lang siya ngunit wala talaga siyang plano na pumunta ng France she can't just leave lalo't mukhang may malaki siyang problema na dapat harapin if she's really pregnant.

"Babe? You okay?" Agad na kumurapkurap ang kanyang mata ng marinig ang boses ni Aiden.
"I'm fine." She said taking a sip to her juice.
"It's a miracle that you are drinking juice right now," he said chuckling. "I thought you are a coffee lover?"
She is, but to her situation right now she can't. Ngumiti lang siya at umiling, she took a spoonful of her favourite spaghetti pero ng malasahan niya ito ay agad siyang tumayo at tumakbo sa CR. Aiden immediately came to her aid caressing her back.
"Babe you are not okay." May pinal na tinig nito. "I'm a doctor remember?"
Hindi nag salita si Amethyst at tumayo sumandal siya sa pader at pinunasan ang nag luhang mga mata.
"Are you pregnant?" Her eyes went wide opened hindi siya makasagot sa tanong nito dahil maski siya ay hindi alam ang sagot.
"Huh?"
Aiden chuckled then he kiss her forehead.
"Of course you are not, you're on pill remember?"
Awkward siyang tumayo at tumango but she completely forgotten her shot this month she just hope that it's not what she's thinking.
"O-of course." She said bago tumawa ng alanganin. "Siguro nalilipasan lang ako ng gutom kaya ganito."
Aiden gave her a wipes bago siya nito hinaltak palabas ng banyo. She was about to sat on the couch but Aiden sat first making her sit on his lap.
"Are you coming to our reunion?" Tanong nito.
Amethyst hum.
"Oo, Lea would come to." She said. "Ikaw?"
"I don't know, I hope I'm not busy."
"Your first love would be their." Nakasimangot na wika ni Amethyst, "I think you shouldn't come."
Aiden chuckled before burying his face on the shallow of her neck.
"You are my first love though." He said chuckling.
"Huwag mo na nga akong binobola!" Nakasimangot niyang wika. "Matulog na tayo inaantok na ako."
Padabog siyang tumayo ngunit agad din na napatili ng buhatin siya ni Aiden.
"Anong ginagawa mo? Ibaba mo nga ako!"
"I'll drop you on our bed screaming." He seductively licking her lips.
-----
Her hands fidget in nervousness as she sa inside the clinic waiting for the result to come, kanina pa siya kinakabahan at balisa. If her hunch is true then she will be doomed.
"Ms. Montefalco?"
Agad siyang tumayo ng bumalik ang doctor sa loob ng silid. May malawak itong ngiti sa labi habang nakatingin sa result niya.
"Well you didn't want PT so we use the old method right," tumango lang siya muling maupo. "Congratulations Ms Montefalco you are two weeks pregnant!"
"W-what? I-Im pregnant?"
"Yes, here is the—"
"You should keep this a secret." Mariin niyang wika.
"I-I of course."
Wala sa sarili siyang tumayo at lumabas ng clinic, she's pregnant? Should she be happy about that news e, sa sitwasyon pa lang nila ni Aiden ay malabo na.
