Chantall

We're here in the room and wala pa naman ang iba, Sandro is here with me also. He's having an online interview on one of the Local Channel. And nakakaasar kasi ginawa niya akong photobomber, nakikita ako sa screen.

I am wearing a red dress and just let my hair down, I wear a headband that are made with pearls, Mama Meldy gave me that last January, our First Anniversary ni Sandro.  Spoil na spoil ako kay Mama Meldy eh, oh God! Sandro is just talking there and I can't even understand what he is talking about so deadma. Nakakanosebleed nga. He closed his laptop and went on me.

"You're so gorgeous, Love." he said and kisses my cheeks as he stared at my reflection in the mirror,

"Of course." I replied confidently that made him chuckle at hinalikan ako sa pisnge, someone knocked on the door because it's lock. Yes, we learned how to lock the door because the people here doesn't know how to knock.

"Dito ka na naman?" Nilingon ko ang pinto and TP is here again, so I waved my hands on him at ipinaharap sa akin Ang phone, he's having his live again.

"Cheh! Pinasama ako ni Mr.President, nandiyan nga din si VP Inday." He went inside our room.

"Hoy! Quick room tour nga kayo. Guys, ito pala ang kwarto ni Sandro.. na kwarto na din ni Chantall. Dito siguro nabuo. Charot! Joke lang, 'to naman." Sandro slapped TP's arms, this two.

"May mga batang nanunuod eh." paalala ni Sandro at kinuha ang mga gamit sa couch para makaupo si TP,

"Say hi to Mrs.Marcos,  pakita ng singsing." I smiled at the camera and pinakita ang singsing ko,

"May pasalubong ako sa'yo, Chan. Wait." TP said and ibinigay sa akin ang phone niya.

"Hi po, thank you po for supporting our dearest Thinking Pinoy." I greeted the viewers and I read some comments.

"Sa mga nagsabi pong maganda ako, thank you po." I saw some comments who say that I'm pretty eh, omg!

"We're here in Laoag po, we just have a small family gathering and TP is also part of the Familia Marcos that's why he's here." I answered from the comment that I saw,

"No, he's not. He just invited his self." I laughed because of Sandro's comment, he's in the CR, he's changing siguro.

"Hoy! Ang kapal mo talaga Sandro."

"That's them.. Always, they can't last a day without having that kind of nonsense argument, guys."

"Hoy! Binilhan kita ng Mangga, tsaka strawberry, tsaka Indian mango." TP said and went towards me na may hawak na basket, lumapad naman talaga ang ngiti ko sa nakita ko. Mango,

"Awww! Thanks TP! Minemake sure mo talaga na gawin kitang Ninang dito ah." I told him at sinilip ang laman ng basket,

"Syempre 'no. Pero anong meron ba? Announcement ng pagbubuntis mo? Eh halos lahat ng Pilipino alam na buntis ka. Trending ka pa nga last week sa Twitter eh. Para sa ano 'to?" TP asked. I don't even know though. Sadyang bad timing lang 'yung nangyari and walang proper announcement sa pregnancy ko.

"Basta, announcement. Si Tita Liz ang may gusto. Unang apo eh." I replied, Sandro went out from the bathroom wearing his usual white polo and pants,

"You look hot, Love." I commented as he's folding his sleeves kaya napapikit ito ng mariin at napatalikod.

"Harot ha. May bisita oh."

"Masanay ka na, especially ikaw ang pinaplano naming yaya ng baby namin if lumabas na." Sandro told TP so he sighed and roll his eyes,

"Cheh! Busy din ako 'no. Dito nalang tayo maghanap ng babysitter, comment kayo kung sino willing maging babysitter ng first born child ng Sandro Marcos and Chantall Davis-Marcos. First apo ng President of the Philippines, first Pamangkin ng Simon and Vinny. Lapag na," I just laughed on what he said on his live, OA. Di pa nga lumalabas 'yung bata makaannounce, pero plan ko talaga na si Arlin nalang. After half an hour, Simon went inside the room without knocking

"Naks, gwapo ng Tito ah. Mas gwapo pa sa Tatay," TP greeted and Simon just gave him a half smile.

"Ha? Excuse me?" Sandro reacted sassily.

"Totoo naman," pagsasakay ko sa kanila kaya tinignan ako ni Sandro, helplessly. I just laughed at him. Cutie. He pouted at me and closed and stared at me with his puppy eyes,

"Ako ang asawa mo, Love. You should be on my side." he said so I raised my eyebrows on him and scoffed,

"Excuse me? Di pa tayo kasal. Feeling ka eh." saad ko dito tsaka inirapan, I heard TP and Simon laughing,

"And.. Me," singit ni Simon kaya naagaw namin ang pansin nito. We stared at him confusedly and Simon sighed,

"I'm getting married," our jaw dropped on what Simon have told. What? With who? I'm just a week na absent dito pero may ikakasal na.

"What? Are you serious? Kanino? Bakit hindi ko alam?" Sandro asked,

"Kilala ba namin? Tinatago mong gf 'no?" TP said and Simon shake his head,

"Cliche right? I'm getting married to the girl I don't even know. Well, last night. Mom just told me na I'm getting married. With their friend's daughter."

"Don't worry, let's just go downstairs. Everyone is already there. Hinahanap ka din ni Pops, Channy." Simon went outside the room so me, TP and Sandro stared at each other.

"It's already the generation of Alpha and uso pa ang arrange marriage? Wow!" Sandro said and we went outside of the room. There are a lot of people downstairs, the Marcos Family is here even the team Marcos. Omg!

"Chantall! Oh my God!" Tita Aimee greeted me as she ran towards us while we're walking down the stairs. I am so shocked because she went home pa ha.

"Hoy! Dahan dahan sa pag-akap. 'Yung great nephew ko." Tita Imee said and slapped Tita Aimee's back softly.

"Hi Tita Imee!" I greeted and hugged her,

"How are you? Okay na ba kayo ni Sandro? Buti nakauwi ka. I thought talaga na completely break up niyo na." Tita Imee said and squeezed my arms slightly so I just chuckled at her,

"Tita, I won't let that happen, of course." Sandro said, after small chitchats, we saw Tito Bong and Tita Liz so we went on them, they're talking with VP Sara Duterte eh.

"My son and his wife is here." Tito Bong said and nakipagbeso ako sa kaniya,

"Pambihira! Magiging tatay ka na niyan, Sandro?" Pang-aasar ni Tito Bong dito kaya natawa ako sa pagkindat nito kay Tito.

"Magiging Lolo ka na niyan, Bongbong?" VP Sara laughed on what Sandro have replied. Nakakaloka 'tong mag-ama na 'to.

"Oh, hija! Kamusta ka naman? Madami akong nabalitaan pero dahil nakita ko naman na you and Sandro are now okay. Let's just forget what happened and focus on the present and on the future of course."

"Indeed, Tito. We're good, I'm good. Everything are fixed very well." I replied casually. We just started eating and having some small chitchats with the visitors. It's just like fiestahan lang naman kaya walang program-program emerut.

"So, good evening everyone! Thank you so much for accepting our rushed invites and thank you so much for giving us your time. We just have a small, simple gathering as a celebration.. For my son and his wife bec..." Sandro cutted Tita Liz off kaya nahampas ko siya sa balikat dahil nakakahiya.

"Mom, we should be the one who's gonna announce even though everyone knows about it." Everyone laughed on what Sandro said. Jusko, 'tong lalaki na 'to.

"Okay, okay! I'm sorry. Okay, let's just give the spotlight to Mr. & Mrs.  Marcos." Tita Liz said and lahat naman napahiyaw sa kantiyaw.

"Hoy! Huwag niyo ganiyanin, baka maging triplets." TP said kaya natawa naman ang lahat. Pumunta na kami sa harap and we took the mic, Sandro took the mic, rather because he'll be the one who's gonna announce.

"Good evening, Family. Sad that Mama Meldy isn't here but I know she's happy..."

"Hoy! Umayos ka Sandro, parang patay na si Mommy ah." Tita Imee said. Jusko, pero may point, parang wala na si Mama Meldy sa speech niya.

"Hahahahah! Sorry, sorry. Pero.. Good evening, thank you so much for attending this rushed gathering for family and closest friend. And I know everyone of you seen me and nandito pa din hanggang sa paglaki ko.."

"Lumaki ba?" Kuya Matt adlib so everyone laughed again that's why Sandro just stared at him na parang napupuno na. Oh God! This family,

"Happy? Tawang-tawa ha. Ouch. Mom she's hurting me." Sandro stared at me because mangiyak-ngiyak na ako kakatawa sa kaniya.

"Pero anyways. Wala nang pagiloy.. ahh. Let's just make it straight to the point." mas natawa ako ng sobra sa pagiloy niya. Kaya lahat natawa dahil tawa ako ng tawa.

"I'm so.. Hahahahahahaha! Sorry po. Bulol kasi 'to. Hahahahahahahaha!" I told the visitors as I am waving my peace sign on them,

"Ito na. I am announcing to everyone that we are pregnant.. We are having our first baby.. Bong, Liza. Lola at Lolo na kayo. Oh God! You're officially oldies na." all I can say, parang comedy bar na 'tong bahay na 'to dahil sa kanila. Nakakaoka.

"And I'm giving this mic to the mother of my child and my future wife for her short message," pinakalma ko muna ang sarili ko kasi hinihingal pa ako kakatawa, Jusko!

"Whoooo! So, hi po. Thank you so much for coming. I hope you're enjoying the food and our small gathering. And I hope to see you soon. And by the way.  Sandro Marcos po for Governor, number 2 sa balota. Thank you and enjoy." i said and everyone clapped,Tito Bong stood up and hugged me and Sandro, he take over the mic and the platform. Wow!

"Puro talaga kalokohan itong si Sandro. Pero anyways. I just want to say to you my son, and to my daughter-in-law. Love each other, trust each other and build a strong home. Strong home isn't just about a house, who have roofs, wall.. But, build a strong home for the both of you and for the baby. A home where there is comfort, love, trust, care and make sure it's a Christ-centered. Okay? Sandro, alagaan mo ang Misis mo okay? Please be hands on to Chantall. Because mahirap magbuntis. You need a lot of patience and love her more. Don't hurt her or else, tataguan ako ng apo.. Okay? Wala na akong masabi pa. Ahh, naooverwhelm ako. Masaya ako. Mahal ko kayong dalawa. I love you," everyone gave their hands to Tito Bong. I am so happy that I went in this kind of family, a loving and caring one. We went on the table of the girls, and their boyfriend with the Tita's

"What's the tea here?" Sandro asked them,

"None. When ang gender reveal?" Jamie asked me so I shrugged my shoulder, I'm still 2 months pregnant so, I guess after 5 months pa.

"Nagpupustaan kami dito kung ano 'yan eh. Lalaki o babae, pero ang final answer pag Gender reveal na. 15k." Jamie said so Tita Imee slapped her arm.

"Hoy! Mahal ha. 10 lang." Tita Imee said, nakakaloka 'tong mga 'to.

"Hoy! Hindi 'to sabong." saad ko sa kanila kaya tumawa naman sila. Nakakaloka,

"Grabe naman Tita, 14k." Jamie and Tita Imee are now arguing.

"10k or lalayuan mo ang anak ko." Tita Imee already took her card na so Jamie smiled at her sweetly and nilambing,

"Sige na, Tita. 10k." 'tong mga 'to.

"I'm sleepy, and tired" I told Sandro so he stared at me,

"We'll go upstairs na?" He asked me so I nodded, masakit na kasi ang balakang ko. Tsaka inaantok na ako.

"We're going upstairs na. Inaantok na at pagod." Sandro bid a goodbye to them so I waved my hands as we are going to the parents.

"Dad, Mom. She's already tired and sleepy. We'll go upstairs na."

"I'm sorry Tita. Tito."

"No, it's okay. It's normal. Have a good night sleep. I love you both," Tita said and hugged us, inakap ko din si Tito Bong kasi balik na naman kampaniya 'to bukas eh.

As we arrived upstairs, I immediately took my Doppler and listened to the baby's heartbeat.

"If lalaki ba siya, Love. Are you making him as Sandro the fourth?" Sandro asked me at inilapag na ang gatas sa side table ko,

"Hindi. Hindi ko naman ipapangalan sa'yo 'to at di Marcos iaapelyido ko dito." I told him casually and drink the milk. Nagchacharot lang ako pero makabuntong hininga.

"I worked on that and that's my sperm. Unfair," he said kaya natawa ako ng malakas.

"Joke lang. Ito naman. Malamang, Ferdinand Alexander Davis Marcos IV na to no. Pero di natin sure baka babae. And two months palang ako buntis, ito naman."
