"Ayoko na nga n'yan! Kulit mo naman e!" Busangot ang mukha ni Atarah sabay irap ito ng mata.

"Kung wa mo bet itey, anong lalafangin mo?" Naiinis man, pinanatili ni Treyton ang pagiging kalmado ng boses nito.

Kailangan niya talagang maging pasensyoso kapag kaharap ang buntis na ito. Choosy'ng buntis!

"Hinog na papaya." Natampal na lamang ni Treyton ang noo niya.

Kanina pa kasing nagtatalo ang dalawa. When Atarah woke up, she requested for strawberry flavored ice cream. Tumanggi si Treyton at first kasi naman, umagang-umaga malamig ang gusto nitong kainin. But he ended up giving what Atarah wants. Naghanap pa ito sa labas dahil hindi naman ito nag-i-stock ng ice cream sa kanyang ref.

When he came back, Atarah told him that she doesn't like it anymore at ngayon naman ay hinog na papaya na ang gusto nito.

"Nai-stress na ang beauty ko sa'yo kung alam mo lang." Treyton whimpered in a low voice after placing the ice cream on the fridge.

"Nagrereklamo ka?" Atarah raised her brows at wala namang nagawa ang lalaki kundi ang umiling dito. Maybe, taking care of a pregnant woman is really challenging.

"What did you do when I was not here?" Mahinang tanong ni Atarah kay Treyton.

Both of them were sitting on a wooden bench dahil nandito sila ngayon sa veranda and as usual, nakayakap na naman ito sa kanya. Treyton doesn't mind though besides he's used to it and what he did was to stroke Atarah's hair.

"Nothing. I just wasted my time in the company." He answered.

Natahimik silang pareho habang tinitignan nila ang papalubog na araw. Friday ngayon and it so happened that Treyton finished his works on their company kaya napaaga ito ng uwi. He also remembered that Atarah was in his condo kaya naggrocery pa muna ito bago siya umuwi.

Naabutan nga niya ang dalaga na bagot na bagot na nakaupo sa sofa habang nanonood ng telebisyon kaya inaya niya ito rito sa veranda, maybe to watch the sunset na rin.

"Hindi mo ako namiss?" Tanong sa kanya bigla ni Atarah.

"Duh? At bakit naman kita mamimiss, aber?" Instead of answering, tinawanan lang siya ni Atarah.

She may be crazy knowing that Treyton is a gay but every time she hears him talking gay language makes him more handsome in her eyes. Oh, yeah ito nga pala kasi ang pinaglilihian nito that's why whatever he does, palaging maganda ito sa paningin ni Atarah.

"I didn't know you were this cute," at pinanggigilan niya nga ito by pinching Treyton's cheeks.

"Atarah, let go of my cheeks. Ang sakit ng kurot mo."

"Ow, sorry! Let me cure it," and Atarah suddenly kiss both of his cheeks. Saka ito nangingiti na tumayo at iniwan si Treyton doon.

While Atarah's walking inside, Treyton was left alone, dumbfounded. Oo nga't sanay ito na inaamoy at niyayakap siya ng babae but it never crossed on his mind that Atarah would kissed him like nothing happened.

Teka nga, ano ngayon kung hinalikan niya ako? Halik lang naman sa pisngi ah? Treyton shook his head because of that thought at pumasok na rin ito sa loob. Bakit ba kasi mukha siyang apektado?

"Really?" Nakatingin lamang si Treyton sa dalaga habang may kausap ito sa telepono.

Kakauwi lang nito galing sa trabaho at naabutan niya itong may kausap. Sa halip na pumasok ito, sumandal na lang muna siya sa hamba ng pintuan upang hindi ito makaistorbo sa usapan.
