KINUKUSOT ni Devi ang mga mata habang pababa siya sa hagdanan. Maaga siyang ginising ni Castiel para i try ang limang pregnancy test na binili nito kahapon, nasa likod niya ito at inaalalayan siya sa pagbaba lalo na at wala siyang suot na eyeglasses.

She badly want to sleep again.

"Castiel, mamaya nalang?" Ungot niya rito.

Castiel held her waist, nanlalambing na humalik sa noo niya at iginiya siya papasok sa loob ng banyo. Dala dala din nito ang paper bag na may lamang pt. Padabog na pumasok si Devi sa loob at umupo sa nakatakip na toilet bowl.

"Water please?" She asked with her sleepy voice.

Agad naman lumabas si Castiel para ikuha siya ng maiinom. She rested her head against the wall and close her eyes for a moment, pakiramdam kasi niya ay umiikot ang paligid niya, siguro ay dahil sa maaga niyang pag gising. It's just three in the freaking morning when she glanced at the side table where the small led clock of Castiel placed, sanay siyang magpuyat pero hindi siya sanay na ganito kaagang gumigising.

"Here, little bee." Devi force her self to open her eyes. Kinuha niya ang iniabot na tumbler sa kanya ni Castiel at ininom ang buong laman noon, she needs to pee. And in order to pee, she needs to drink a lot of water.

Lumingon siya kay Castiel na nakasandal sa hamba ng pintuan, naka krus pa ang mga braso sa dibdib nito, his messy hair made him looks like a fallen Angel.

"Sa labas ka muna hmm? Tawagan kita kapag tapos na ako, nakakahiya." She uttered as she felt her cheeks heating up, just the thought of her peeing and Castiel's intently watching her, gusto na niyang ilubog ang sarili sa inidoro.

Malabo ang mukha ni Castiel dahil malayo ito sa kanya pero kahit ganoon, ramdam at bakas sa mukha nito ang pagtutol.

"Please?" She asked again.

Devi grinned when Castiel left and closed the door. She knew how to used a pregnancy kit test, ganito siguro talaga kapag laging buntis ang mga kasama niya sa bahay. Suki na suki siya ng pharmacy kapag hindi dinadatnan ang mga pinsan niyang babae.

She can still remembered how the pharmacist congratulated her in advance for conceiving a baby. Alam na alam daw kasi na positive. Totoo naman. Laging positive ang mga pinsan niya.

Ilang minuto lang siyang nakatulala sa banyo bago niya ginamit ang mga ito. Pinatakan na niya lahat para sigurado, after that she gathered all the pregnancy test and placed it on the sink. Hinilera niya talaga 'yon at binuksan ang pintuan, bahagya pa siyang natawa nang makita si Castiel na hindi mapakali.

"Hey, tara dito." Aya niya kay Castiel at niluwagan ang pintuan sa banyo.

"What's the result?" Kabadong tanong nito sa kanya.

Itinuro niya ang mga pregnancy test na nakahilera sa sink. Castiel held her waist, his thumb was drawing circles, nakikiliti siya dahil doon. Castiel made her wear her eyeglasses, thanks to that she can now clearly see the results.

Tahimik at nakatutok lang silang dalawa ni Castiel sa mga pregnancy test. Hinihintay ang resulta. And when it finally shows, her lips parted and gasped, lalo na at isa isang nagiging dalawa ang guhit ng limang pregnancy test.

Devi was silent while Castiel leaned against her shoulder and buried his face on her neck, nakaramdam siya nang pamamasa sa balat niya, was he crying? Maybe?

Umangat ang kamay niya at kinuha ang isang pregnancy test. Devi chuckled softly.

"It's not surprising at all, Castiel. I'm not drinking pills and you're not using a protection either." Natatawang bulong niya, hindi pa rin humihiwalay ang tingin sa hawak na pt.

Damn, dati ay nakikitawa at nakiki congratulations lang siya sa mga pinsan niya. Na may halong panenermon of course. But now, it was her turn. She wondered how her cousins will react, pati na din ang mama, tita at ang Lola niya na umuungot na ng apo mula sa kanya.

"Matutuwa si Lola nito," she uttered and shed a tears. Tears of joy.

"I'm so happy. Wala ka na talagang takas sa akin. Magkakaanak na tayo." Castiel whispered possessively that made her laugh heartily. "Wait, we should tell your family. I will call Tita and Carthiel's, siguradong matutuwa ang mga 'yon." Kumawala agad ito sa pagkakayakap sa kanya at pinunasan ang basang pisngi.

His eyes were puff and red. Cute.

"How about your mom?" Marahan na tanong niya rito. Nag-iingat. Devi can feel Castiel's love for his mother, pero pagkatapos noong nangyari hindi na niya alam kung ano ang nangyari sa kanilang dalawa.

"I'll tell her too, she deserves to know. But, I won't let her get close to you for the mean time. Not until she gets better." Mabilis na sagot sa kanya ni Castiel. "She's still looking for our father, and if she sees you, hindi natin alam ang posible na mangyari so, it's better if we avoid it."

Tumango nalang si Devi. Lumabas na si Castiel at nagmamadali umakyat sa taas and after a few seconds she heard loud foot steps, pababa naman this time. Devi sighed and picked up the pregnancy tests, she smiled and stared at it for the nth time.

She's happy. Happiness is swelled deep within her. She can't explain it. Ganito din siguro ang naramdaman ng mga pinsan niya sa t'wing nabubuntis. But in the midst of her happiness, she was secretly asking herself if she's ready. She loves kid. Siya ang nag-aalaga sa mga pamangkin niya noong nasa bahay pa siya ng Lola niya, but this was different, siya na ang magluluwal.

Mariin siyang napapikit nang maalala ang kwento ng mga pinsan niyang nagsipag-anakan na. Masakit. It's either you delivered the baby in normal procedure or cesarean. Ang sabi pa nila ay parang nakabaon na ang isang paa sa hukay. Oh hell, she really digged her own grave.

"Kuya! Devi's pregnant! I'm going to be a father soon! Magiging Loli ka na! I mean, Tito."

Devi smiled when she heard Castiel. Nang makalabas siya sa banyo nakita niya itong naglalakad sa sala, pabalik balik at mukhang hindi mapakali. Maski ang mga magulang ni Light ay naabala nito. Even their boss, Xyria, who's peacefully sleeping.

"Little bee, Xyria wants to talk to you." Pukaw ni Castiel sa pansin niya. Lumapit siya rito at kinuha ang cellphone sa kamay ni Castiel.

"Hello?"

[Good morning, Devi! I just want to say Congratulations and please calm that fucker down! Ang aga niya mangbulabog. Ayon lang, congrats ulit. Ninang ako ha?] Bahagya siyang natawa.

"Of course, kailangan bigatin ang ninong at ninang ng anak namin." Devi chuckled and bid her goodbye to her.

Hindi na niya binalik ang cellphone kay Castiel. It's still early at ang mga tinatawagan nito ay siguradong tulog pa. Nakalimutan yata nito na sobrang aga nilang nagising.

"Let's sleep again, please?" She asked and rest her head against his chest.

Castiel's hand dropped on her waist and gently caressed her, inaantok niya itong tinignan. Now that it's confirmed, gusto na niyang matulog. He chuckled and kissed her forehead. Devi chuckled when Castiel carried her bridal style, at nang makarating sila sa kwarto dahan dahan siya nitong binaba.

DEVI WAS SMILING while they're in front of her family, ganoon din naman si Castiel na tumatanggi sa pag-aaya ng Tito niya na inuman.

"Buntis ka?" Natatawang tanong ng mama niya.

Devi was actually ready for violent reaction from her mother, lalo na at hindi pa tapos ang dalawa niyang kapatid sa pag-aaral at parang kailan lang din noong ipinakilala niya si Castiel sa mga ito. She thought that they'll take it negatively.

She nod her head and bit her lower lip.

"Ilang buwan?" Her mother asked again, bakas ang excitement sa boses.

"Baka ilang weeks palang ma, hindi pa ako nagpa check up." Sagot niya at bahagyang namula ang pisngi niya.

They talk about how to take good care of her health, lalo na ngayon na nagdadalang tao na siya, but they never talk when was the wedding. It was a normal thing for their family, live in, mabuntis out of wedlock. Castiel was listening carefully, nakikita pa niya itong pasimpleng nag t-take down notes.

Agad din silang nagpaalam dahil may trabaho pa si Castiel at ayaw naman siyang iwan nito. Nang makarating sila pearl village, iniwan lang siya nito sa bahay ni Light, kasama sina Isabella at ang iba pa.

"Ingat ka," habilin niya rito. Castiel just smiled and kissed his head like what he usually do.

NANG MAKITA niya na pumasok na si Devi sa loob ng bahay ni Light, dali dali siyang bumaba sa sasakyan at pumasok sa loob, sa Lust community. He was actually planning this before he talked to his parents. Ang unang plano niya ay dapat kasama ang pamilya ni Devi at ang pamilya niya. But, he can't wait any longer.

And he noticed earlier that her family avoided the topic of getting married.

"Hi, tapos na ba?" Nakangiting tanong niya sa girlfriend or fiancee ni Yves.

Yves was done preparing the foods. Nagliligpit nalang ito ng mga pinaggamitan nilang dalawa.

Nag thumbs up ito sa kanya at ipinakita ang cake na ipinagawa niya. It was perfect. Nakipag highfive lang siya sa fiancee ni Yves bago lumabas para ayusin ang mga building blocks na pakalat kalat sa daan, he was planning to build the letters using his those small pieces of building blocks.

He has a lot of it. He loves collecting them ever since he was a kid. He was even hiding his money from his own mother just to buy building blocks, minsan ay makikisuyo pa siya sa kapatid niya para mabili lang ang mga ito.

Light helped him habang ang iba naman ay nanonood lang sa kanila. Castiel chuckled when he saw Yves making a damn flower using the crepe paper and give it to his fiance.

Hindi mabura ang ngisi sa labi ni Castiel habang paulit ulit na kumakanta, the person who first came to his mind when he heard the song was Devi. She's the fantasy that he was reaching and the same time, Devi is his reality.

"Walang mananabotahe ah! Tangina niyo isusumpa ko kayo!" Isa isa niyang sininghalan ang mga kaibigan.

"Mamatay ka man!" Killian and Kade said in unison.

He raised his hand and showed them his middle finger. He texted Isabella that it was all set. Madali lang para sa kanya na buuin ang 4 words, 15 letters and 5 syllables, lalo na at kasama niya pa si Light.

He smiled genuinely when he saw Devi's walking, nakaalalay sa kanya sina Isabella at Sakki, dahil naka piring ang mga mata nito. Tumabi sa kanya ang girlfriend ni Yves, inabot ang cake na personal niyang pinagawa.

It was just a simple bento cake, with a man bended on his one knee, holding a cup of coffee and the ring he personally choose.

Bahagya siyang natawa nang may itinutok na microphone si Laur sa kanya. He knew how to sing, pero hindi ganoon kaganda ang boses niya.

"Pa humble ka pang demonyo ka." Laur hissed and rolled his eyes.

He shrugged and started singing when he heard the cue.

"Overnight scenes, dinner and wine
Saturdays girls
I was never in love, never had the time
In my hustle and hurry world
Laughing my self to sleep
Waking up lonely
I needed someone to hold me, oh

It's such a crazy old town
It can drag you down
'Til you run out of dreams
So you party all night to the music and lights
But you don't what happiness means
I was dancing in the dark with strangers
No love around me
When suddenly you found me, oh"

Naghiyawan ang mga siraulo niyang kaibigan. Why the hell did he choose Lust community a place to propose?

"Girl, you're every woman in the world to me
You're my fantasy, you're my reality
Girl, you're every woman in the world to me
You're everything I need, you're everything to me
Oh girl"

He continued singing. Isabella slowly removed her blindfold and made his little bee wear her eyeglasses. Castiel licked his lower lip before continuing the song. He was truly amazed by her face and her reaction but he can't just ruin the moment!

"Everything good, everything fine
That's what you are
So put your hand in mine
And together we'll climb
As high as the highest star
I'm living a lifetime in every minute
That we're together
And I'm staying right here forever, oh"

Everything fine when he's with her. Hell, she can light her darkest days with just a glimpse of her smile. Kahit hindi siya nakadali, papakasalan niya pa rin ito.

"Girl you're every woman in the world to me, You're my fantasy, you're my reality. Girl, you're every woman in the world to me
You're everything I need, you're everything to me." He said the lines while looking straight at her eyes. Nakagat ni Castiel ang pang ibabang labi nang makita ang pamamasa ng mga mata nito.

"Oh hell, please don't cry, little bee. I'm not yet done. Wala pa ang pangmalakasan na speech ko!" Kunwariy pagmamaktol niya, she laughed at him while trying to hold her tears.

Napakamot sa ulo si Castiel at nagtawanan na naman ang mga kaibigan niya.

"Bano amputa." Light hissed and laughed.

"Tumahimik ka nga, tarantado ka osige ikaw na dito. Pampam tangina." He hissed and glared at Light.

Umiling lang si Light at sinenyasan siya na magpatuloy nalang sa proposal niya. He inhaled a large amount of air and looked at his little bee. Sa babae na pinakamamahal niya lang. Like his Friends were not existing at all.

"Little bee, the moment you bump into me and poured my body a hot coffee, I knew right there and then that you are the only one for me. Charot lang, nakita ko lang 'yon sa Fb." He chuckled. "I'm not good with words, but I hope you'll still marry me and make me the happiest man alive." He uttered and walk towards her, showing her the bento cake.

God! I love her so much.

"Will you be my reality? My life and my own Mrs.Gonzales?" He asked clearly.

Napalalunok si Castiel sa bawat segundong lumilipas na nakatingin lang si Devi sa hawak niyang cake at hindi pa sumasagot. His heart was beating so fast. Halos nagpipigil na din siya ng hininga. Goodness, ang akala niya ay chillax lang talaga kapag nag p-propose, hindi naman siya na inform na may feeling na 'maiihi ka sa pantalon' sa sobrang kaba.

"Y-yes," Devi uttered, her eyes were shining because of the tears forming in her eyes.

"Yes?" Ulit niya sa sinabi nito at tumango si Devi. "Fuck! Ikakasal na ako mga ungas!" He shouted and handed the bento cake to Laur, na siyang pinakamalapit sa kanya.

He hugged Devi tight and kissed her head. Hindi namalayan ni Castiel na may tumutulo na palang luha sa mga mata niya, damn, he's happy! Who cares about his tears!

"Papakasalan mo talaga ako?" Mahinang tanong sa kanya ni Devi. "Sure ka na sa low quality na katulad ko? Paano kung isang araw hindi mo na ako mahal?"

His chest tightened upon hearing those words from her.

"Sobra ka pa sa sobra, Liam Devora!" He whispered. "I can see the beginning but not the end. I don't know if I can stop loving you, Devi."
