But instead of answering me, Rare kisses me—deep and hard. It almost hurt my lips.

I tried to stop her. "Teka, teka. Baka dumating si Forest." She didn't listen, Rare is being Rare. Hinawakan ko ang braso nya to slowly pulls her away from me. "Rare."

But her eyes are clouded with lust and desires. "But i want you, I'm horny." Hindi ko alam pero bigla akong natawa. It's just so random. "Hey, it's not funny."

Hinaplos ko ang pisngi ni Rare, i never get tired of her beautiful face. "Yes, it's not funny." I kisses her cheek. "Ang cute mo lang."

Rare pouts at me. "Can we?"

"We can't right now." I replied. "Baka dumating si Forest." Pinisil ko ang matangos nyang ilong. "And this bed is.."

"I understand." At tumayo na si Rare without looking.

"Wait—"

Pero tuloy tuloy lang si Rare papunta sa pintuan at binuksan ito. "Goodnight."

"Goodni——"

She just shut the door on me.

What the hell did just happened?

Well maybe, she is sexually frustrated.

I mean i can make love with her any time but not with this bed where Forest and I sleep.

Gustuhin ko man sundan si Rare pero natulog nalang ako, i don't want to mess up things that they already were. Sobrang laki na nga ng kasalanan ko kay Forest by just loving someone else na kasama pa namin sa iisang bubong.

At the hospital.

I'm the current Chief of Surgeon now, hindi na ako masyadong nasasalang sa actual surgery but i supervise surgical departments, carry out managerial duties, educate trainees, and assist during surgeries.

"May seminar ka pala sa Cebu Shi?" Tanong ni Monique sakin habang nakaupo kami sa conference, katatapos lang ng meeting namin.

"Ah oo, 3 days lang naman." Sagot ko.

Dumekwatro si Monique at ramdam ko ang mga mata nya sa muhkha ko. "Paano naman si Rare?"

I give her a sideways look. "What about Rare?"

"Maiiwanan mo sya."

"Hindi na sya bata Monique, besides she can visit her mother anytime she wants para hindi sya mainip sa bahay."

"So it means, si Forest at Rare lang maiiwanan sa bahay?" Tanong nya sakin.

"Ang dumi ng utak mo Monique." Hindi ko nakapaniwalang sabi.

"What?" Tumayo si Monique. "Babaero si Forest——"

"But he's not a rapist." I justified. "Pero bakit ba ganyan ang iniisip mo Monique?"

Natawa si Monique na kakamot sa kilay nya. "May napanuod kasi ako sa Netflix ——"

I roll my eyes at her. "Stop watching serial killer series bedsides trabaho ang ipupunta ko sa Cebu hindi bakasyon." Tumayo narin ako at kinuha ang bag ko. "Second IVF narin naman ni Rare pag-uwi ko."

"Tuloy parin?"

Napahinga nalang ako ng malalim. "I don't know but i will talk to Forest about it pag-uwi ko."

"Talk? Like ayaw mo matuloy ang Surrogacy?" She inquired.

Tumango ako.

"About damn time Scarlett!" Napalakpak pa si Monique. "Finally has gain balls."
